Introduction :
Stephen Spender was a poet who visited the Gemini Studios in Bombay. He had left his learning and felt deeply for
the poor and the downtrodden. He was not against progress and prosperity, but he wanted that the poor and the
downtrodden should have equal opportunities to share the benefits. In this poem, he wants to draw the attention of
the society and the government to the dismal conditions under which those children live and study. There is a map
that shows beautiful cities, ships and love all around. But these children are deprived of these. He wants that children should be given education in a conducive atmosphere.
Summary :
Stephen Spender visited an elementary school in a slum. The classroom was dim. The paint on the walls was faded. Children were sick and undernourished.
A girl sat with her head weighed down in despair. A child’s growth was stunted. His bones were twisted. A boy looked dreamy. He was thinking of a squirrel’s game.
On the wall, there was a portrait of Shakespeare and a map of the world. The map showed beautiful cities under a cloudless sky at dawn. There were ships and love. It had symbols of modern progress and liberal attitude. But by contrast, the lives of the children were dark and dismal. Their future was written in fog. The poet thinks that the map and Shakespeare had no significance for the children who lived in houses just like graves.
He pleads that these windows should be broken and the children should be moved to the bright daylight. They should experience the sun, the sky and the sea. They should be educated. They should have equal opportunities like others.
