Answer the following briefly.

How does the poet establish a sense of the following (throughout the poem)?

• time

• space

• mood

TIME- The poet has described the time of two following centuries. 'The century's corpse' and 'the ancient pulse' defines the death scenes of 19th century people who were captured by the household fires and the poet is now surrounded alone by those images of cold deaths in the 20th century. He displays the cycle of deaths and rebirths and says when one century is dead the outlook for the following new century remains cold and miserable with the essence of demised memories.

MOOD- The overall mood of the poem depicts the image of desolation. The poet is deeply depressed with the dismal scenes of people. Reader's mood is also captured by the words frosty, clear deaths which left them with the feeling of despair. Unlimited joy, aged thrush, birds voices display the glimpse of firm joys and beliefs and create hopes for the happy and new beginnings with a feeling of happiness in air.

SPACE- The poet describes the sense of space by the philosophical effects on the ethical relations of the people among different centuries. He also depicts the grievance by elaborating that corpses of old centuries never rebirth in new centuries. The space exhibits the same environment throughout with sounds and sights of birds and nature which can give hopes of the new beginning and contentment.
