What does the poet mean by “a sudden strangeness” in the poem? How does it relate to the theme of the poem?
Answer as written by the student:
The poet means by “a sudden strangeness” in the poem a moment of silence and stillness that would be unusual and unexpected in our busy and noisy world. The poet imagines what would happen if we all stopped talking, moving, and working for one second, and how that would create a sense of wonder and connection among us.
The “sudden strangeness” relates to the theme of the poem, which is the need for peace and harmony in our lives. The poet suggests that by keeping quiet, we can become more aware of ourselves, each other, and nature, and we can also avoid violence, destruction, and suffering.
