Answer:
Summary:
Introduction:
The poet Walter de la Mare takes us on a wonderful journey of an imaginary land called ‘Tartary’.
1st Stanza:
The poet wonders that if he was the lord of a place called Tartary in which only he would live all alone, then his bed should be made of ivory and his throne made of gold. He also imagines that in his court there will be peacocks showing off their features while in the forest the tigers will scare the other animals. In his pools the fishes will swim fearlessly with their fins pointing to the sun.
2nd Stanza:
He further wishes that if he were the lord of Tartary, then there would be trumpeters in the courtyard who would play the trumpets to call him when it was time to have his meals. And in the evening, colourful lamps would be lit with yellow and red glow. The yellow colour reminds him of honey and the red colour reminds him of wine. He also imagines that there would be exotic musical instruments like the harp, flute and the mandolin playing sweet, happy tunes.
3rd Stanza:
Continuing his desire to be the Lord of Tartary, he dreams of himself wearing a robe of colourful beads of white, gold and green that will be strung very close together. He would wake up very early while it is still dark and the morning stars haven’t disappeared. He would wear his robe of beads, carry his sword and travel through Tartary’s dark valleys on a carriage that will be drawn by seven zebras.
4th Stanza:
He now imagines himself to also be Lord of all the fruits of Tartary and the pale-silver rivers. He wants to be, not only the Lord of the hills of Tartary but also its valleys and bushes. He wants to enjoy the night life of Tartary’s shinning stars, her scented breeze, her lakes that are like seas, her citron trees that birds have made their home and her valleys that look purple in the night.
