In The Street of The Fruit Stalls
THE THEME / CENTRAL IDEA (IN
THE STREET OF THE FRUIT STALLS)
The background of the poem
is world war. This is a symbolic and thought-provoking poem. There is
destruction and disorder everywhere. The world is full of misery and
sufferings. The poet feels unhappy at the misery and poverty which war has
produced in the world. He also mentions the innocence of children. The children
enjoy the sweet juice of fruit being unaware of the dark picture of the world.
The poet depicts the scene of a fruit street. Candles are burning and a dark
dew falls there. Many fruits like guava, melon and mandarin are lying there in
the form of pyramids. They look like heaps of cannon balls. They reflect golden
and red colour. The poet actually creates a scene of war. The fruit stalls
reflect different kinds of weapon. But all these things have failed to crush
man`s love for pleasure. He is lost in the enjoy the taste of different fruits.
