Answer:- The poet urges us counting up to twelve and keeping still. Perhaps ‘twelve’ here represents the twelve hour- marks on the clock. Most of the ills and troubles of the world are caused because of our rush and hurry. Keeping still will give us the necessary respite for peace.

2. Do you think the poet advocates total inactivity and death?

Answer:- No, he doesn’t. He makes it very clear that ‘stillness’ should not be confused and equated with ‘total inactivity’. Total inactivity brings death. But Neruda has ‘no truck with death’. His stillness means cessation of hostile and harmful human activities.

3. What is the ‘sadness’ that the poet refers to in the poem?
(āĻāĻŦিāϤাāĻোāϤ āĻāĻŦিāϝ়ে āĻāϞ্āϞেāĻ āĻā§°া 'āĻĻুāĻ' āĻি?)
Answer:- Man’s sadness is formed out of his own thinking and actions. This is the tragedy of man. He understands so much but fails to understand himself and his actions. His rush and hurry case troubles. Man is the author of all disasters. Due to his thinking and actions he is always threatening himself with death.

4. What symbols from Nature does the poet invoke to say that there can be life under apparent stillness?
(āĻĒ্ā§°āĻৃāϤিā§° āĻĒā§°া āĻি āĻĒ্ā§°āϤীāĻ āĻāĻŦিāϝ়ে āĻ'āĻŦāϞৈ āĻāĻš্āĻŦাāύ āĻāύাāĻāĻে āϝে āϏ্āĻĒāώ্āĻ āϏ্āĻĨিā§°āϤাā§° āĻ āϧীāύāϤ āĻীā§ąāύ āĻĨাāĻিāĻŦ āĻĒাā§°ে?)
Answer:- The poet doesn’t want us to confuse ‘stillness’ with ‘total inactivity’. There can be life under apparent stillness. The poet invokes the earth as a living symbol to prove his point. ‘When everything seems dead..... Later proves to be alive’. The earth never attains total inactivity. Nature remains at work even under apparent stillness and it keeps the earth alive.

SHORT ANSWER TYPE QUESTIONS
1.Why does Pablo Neruda urge us to keep still?
(āĻĒাāĻŦāϞো āύেā§°ুāĻĻাāĻ āĻāĻŽাāĻ āϏ্āĻĨিā§° āĻšৈ āĻĨাāĻিāĻŦāϞৈ āĻিāϝ় āĻ āύুā§°োāϧ āĻā§°ে?)
Answer:- Pablo Neruda considers that indecent haste and activities lead humanity to wars, violence and death. He urges us to keep still to enjoy a few moments of peace, rest and tranquillity. Sometimes keeping still gives us the much needed respite.

Answer:- Man’s indecent haste has already caused a lot of problems. His activities have given birth only to chaos, war, violence and miseries. Suspension of human activities can help in restoring the environment and health of this world. Suspension of undue haste and rush can help in bringing peace and tranquillity in the troubled world.

3. Why shouldn’t we speak in any language and move our arms so much?

Answer:- People of this world indulge in unnecessary debates and disputes. The poet urges them to stop speaking in any language. They should speak through their hearts. Men have moved their arms only to harm others. Therefore, they shouldn’t move their arms so much. They should give them the much desired rest.

Answer:- The poet wants a total cessation of all kinds of wars. Green wars against the environment, wars with poisonous gases and fire must stop immediately. Instead of indulging in wars, the people must come out in their best dresses with their brothers. They should go out for a walk, enjoying themselves doing nothing.

Answer:- According to Pablo Neruda, the main cause of miseries and chaos in this world is the impatience and indecent haste of man. Human beings can learn a lesson from nature. Nature carries on its mission unnoticed and unseen. Life and living never stops on earth. When everything is dead, one thing remains eternally alive- the earth itself. Human beings must follow nature without indulging in indecent haste, violence and chaos.

How is ‘stillness’ not equal to total inactivity? Why does Neruda say : ‘I want no truck with death”
('āϏ্āĻĨিā§°āϤা' āĻেāύেāĻৈ āϏāĻŽ্āĻĒূā§°্āĻŖ āύিāώ্āĻ্ā§°িāϝ়āϤাā§° āϏāĻŽাāύ āύāĻšāϝ়? āύেā§°ুāĻĻাāĻ āĻিāϝ় āĻāϝ়: 'āĻŽāĻ āĻŽৃāϤ্āϝুā§° āϏৈāϤে āĻোāύো āĻ্ā§°াāĻ āύিāĻŦিāĻাā§°ো)'
Answer:- The earth can teach us an important lesson. The earth is never dead. When everything seems to be dead, it remains still alive. ‘Stillness’ shouldn’t be confused with ‘total inactivity’. Life goes on as usual. The poet doesn’t advocate for total inactivity, idleness and has no association with death.

Answer:- Certainly not. The poet doesn’t advocate total inactivity and death. That would mean the end of the world. Stillness should not be misinterpreted as inactivity, idleness and death. We should follow nature. Mother Nature continues its mission unnoticed and unseen. Life and living never stop on earth. Earth and nature remain eternally alive. But the stillness of nature doesn’t mean inactivity and death.

8. How can there be life under apparent stillness? How does the poet prove it?
(āϏ্āĻĒāώ্āĻ āϏ্āĻĨিā§°āϤাā§° āĻ āϧীāύāϤ āĻীā§ąāύ āĻেāύেāĻৈ āĻĨাāĻিāĻŦ āĻĒাā§°ে? āĻāĻŦিāϝ়ে āĻāϝ়াāĻ āĻেāύেāĻৈ āĻĒ্ā§°āĻŽাāĻŖ āĻā§°ে?)
Or
How is total inactivity on the earth in the winter months full of life?

Answer:- Neruda doesn’t equate stillness with total inactivity. Under this apparent stillness there is life. We can learn it from the earth. When everything seems dead, the earth remains still alive. It is never dead. The life on the earth goes on as usual under the apparent stillness.

9. Justify the title ‘Keeping quite’
'(āĻিāĻĒিং āĻুāĻāĻ' āĻļীā§°্āώāĻāĻো āύ্āϝাāϝ়āϏāĻ্āĻāϤ āĻā§°āĻ)
Answer:- The title of the poem is quite appropriate and logical. The people of the world are always in rush and hurry. Their actions and reactions have led to untold sufferings and troubles. Keeping quite will do them a lot of good. It will give them the much needed time for self-introspection and peace. It will save them from many harmful and dangerous activities.

Answer:- Pablo Neruda dreams and wishes for an exotic moment. It will be an unusual moment. It will be the moment when mankind will be free from rush, noise and harmful actions. The noise of engines and machines will cease. It will be a rare moment of peace and tranquillity.

11. ‘Life is what it is all about ;.....’ How is Keeping Quite related to life?
'(āĻীāĻŦāύāĻ āϏāĻŦ āĻিāĻুā§° āĻŦ্āϝাāĻĒাā§°;...। āĻীā§ąāύ⧰ āϏৈāϤে āĻেāύেāĻĻā§°ে āϏāĻŽ্āĻĒā§°্āĻিāϤ?)
Answer:- Life and living continues quite unobserved and unnoticed. Under the ‘apparent stillness’, there are strong undertones and currents of life. Neruda doesn’t equate stillness with total inactivity. We can learn from the earth. The life on the earth goes on as usual under the apparent stillness. Similarly, ‘keeping quite’ is related to life and is a silent bliss for suffering humanity.
