What is understood by the poem paper boats by rabindranath tagore?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

This poem is on a childhood experience. Like Wordsworth and Walter de la Mare, Tagore also found in children a mys­tic quality. The poem narrates the child's, experience of floating paper boats down the stream. The child imagines that some other child tries to compete with his boats by sending clouds down the air in the sky.

The poem shows the child's peculiar psychology.

The child loves the worlds of playfulness and fun. Day by day he floats paper boats down the running stream. He sends them with the intention that they would reach some distant lands. Out of curiosity he writes his name and address on those boats. He fondly hopes that some­where someone will find them and know him:-

"I hope that someone in some strange land will find

Them and know who I am."

The child has always a deep sense of love. He wishes to present the unknown friend with valuable gifts. So he loads his boats with flowers from his garden. He hopes that the boats will carry the flowers safely to the distant land in the night-

"and hope that these blooms of the dawn

will be carried safely to land in the night."

When the child looks up, he sees the white clouds sailing in the sky-

"See the little clouds setting their white bulging sails."

He imagines that he has a friend in the sky. He thinking that the other child sends white clouds down the air to compete with his boats-

'I know not what playmate of mine in the sky sends

Them down the air to race with my boats!"

At night he sees dreams in his sleep. He dreams about his paper boats. In the dream he is happy to know that angles are sailing in his boats.

Thus the poem shows Tagore's keen insight into the child's mind.

Asked by Wiki User

The Hero depicts the journey of a mother and her son. They are travelling through far-off foreign lands. The son is riding on a chestnut horse and the mother is in a palanquin. On the way when it gets dark suddenly they are attacked by dacoits, i. e. bandits. The mother gets scared and asks her son to flee. But the boy gallops his horse, and fights a fearful battle. His mother remains in the palanquin, afraid to look outside, thinking that her son might have been killed. Some of the dacoits are killed in the fight, the rest flee. The boy then returns to her mother. The mother is overjoyed to see her son alive. She hugs him.It is the dream of every boy to be a hero in the eyes of the world, especially his mother. He does not want the world to think that he is weak or delicate. He wants the world to acknowledge his bravery and valour. He has a faithful and sincere love for his mother, proved by his willingness to save her at the cost of his own life; it is this, says the poem, that transforms him into a real hero.
