    In The Street of Fruit Stall

    Uploaded by

    Prof. Liaqat Ali Mohsin
    This poem describes two aspects of life through the imagery of a street fruit stall before and after World War I. The first part characterizes the street as gloomy and dark, symbolizing the troubles of life. The fruits piled like cannon balls represent the effects of war. The second part contrasts this by showing children enjoying the fruits, finding brightness despite living in poverty. They forget their troubles temporarily. The last part suggests the poet now stands in darkness, unable to enjoy life due to the impacts of war, including poverty and despair.

    Symbolic and thought provoking poem

    Expresses two aspects of life


    Also shows the temporariness of life by using stalls, the temporary shops
    Characterized by gloom, darkness, war, poverty, misery and pessimism
    Is due to effects of war
    In war, whichever side may call itself the victor, there are no winners, but all are losers.
    Has happiness and optimism
    Life is a comedy to those who think, a tragedy to those who feel.Jean Racine
    Reflect the two age levels
    Called as childhood and old age
    Surrounded by difficulties and problems
    Standing in the darkness
    Enjoy in their limited resources while standing in lanterns orbit
    Describes the life before and after the world war I

    Looks at the children


    Belong to poor families
    Have only one coin to spend
    Couldnt finish mans inner desire to be merry
    Condemns the wars
    Only the dead have seen the end of the war.
    Brings disharmony, troubles, miseries, poverty and other evils
    Shows the presence of evil

    Cant enjoy his life
    Loses hope and becomes pessimistic
