Question

Who are far, far from gusty waves?

Hint:

When answering poetry questions, always connect the imagery used by the poet with the central social or moral theme of the poem.

Answer 1

The phrase “far, far from gusty waves” comes from Stephen Spender’s poem {An Elementary School Classroom in a Slum}. It refers to the slum children who live in poverty-stricken conditions. Unlike healthy children, they are deprived of nature’s freshness, energy, and vitality symbolized by gusty waves. Conclusion:
The slum children are far away from the beauty of nature and the joys of healthy life, symbolized by gusty waves.
