II. Write a critical appreciation of the following poem :
I am the unnoticed, the unnoticeable man.
The man who sat on your right in the morning train :
The man you looked through like a window pane :
The man who was the colour of the carriage, the colour of the mounting.
Morning pipe-smoke.
I am the man too busy with a living to live,
Too hurried and worried to see and smell and touch :
The man who is patient too long and obeys too much And wishes too softly and seldom.
I am the man they call the nations backbone,
Who am bonelessplayable catgut, pliable clay :
The man they label little lest one day I dare to grow.
I am the rails on which the moment passes,
The megaphone for many words and voices :
I an graph, diagram,
Composite face.
I am the led, the easily-fed,
The tool, the not-quite-fool,
The would-be-8afe-and'8ound,
The uncomplaining, bound,
The dust fine-ground,
Stone-for-a-statue wave worn pebble-round.'
