Now the Leaves Are Falling Fast - Summary In Hindi
Now the leaves are falling fast W.H . द्वारा लिखी poetry काम है। यहाँ कवि ने मानव जीवन में निहित कुंठा, अभी तक पूरी न होने वाली आकांक्षा और अकेलेपन की भावना को व्यक्त किया है जिसमें व्यक्ति रहता है और मर जाता है।
शरद ऋतु के दौरान पेड़ों की पत्तियां तेजी से गिरने लगीं। नीचे जाने वाले फूल टिकते नहीं हैं। सहायक वृक्ष, कब्र में जाओ। एक चार पहिया बच्चा गाड़ी चलती है।
कवि मानव जीवन में वही पाता है। मृत्यु का दूत आता है और हमारे सुखों को छीन लेता है, हमारा शरीर ठंडा हो जाता है। कवि का यहाँ कहने का तात्पर्य यह है कि जैसे वृक्ष पत्तों को अलग करने के बाद नग्न और निर्जीव लगते हैं, वैसे ही मनुष्य को भी वैसा ही भाग्य मिलता है।
कवि कहता है कि मृत्यु अवश्यंभावी है सैकड़ों लोगों को एक ही भाग्य मिलता है और वे लकड़ी के ताबूतों में लिपटे रहते हैं। कठिन तरीके से फटकारने के लिए हथियार उठाए जाते हैं। यह कुछ और नहीं बल्कि प्यार के बारे में सोचने का एक झूठा तरीका है। यहाँ कवि मानव जीवन में निहित कुंठा को प्रस्तुत करता है।
ट्रोल्स, एक दुष्ट और बदसूरत प्राणी, जो अपनी आजीविका के लिए पेड़ों पर निर्भर है, निराश हो गया है। वह भूखे रहने की स्थिति में है। वह पेड़ों के चारों ओर जाता है और खाने के लिए कुछ नहीं पाता है। वह डांटता है लेकिन मिलता कुछ नहीं। कोकिला माँ है। उनके समर्थन में कोई आगे नहीं आता।
असहनीय ठंडी हवाएँ, सुंदर पर्वत शिखर बर्फ से ढके हुए हैं। निकलता है झरना, मरने के बाद यात्रियों को मिलती है ये चीजें
