    The poet’s desire to travel is as compulsive as a thirst that must be quenched

    so strong that it does not leave him alone. Instead, it makes him to act like a mad
    man. It makes him say goodbye to everything that’s dear to him.
    2. “And there’s no end of voyaging
    when once the voice is heard,”

    Therefore, he wants to travel and explore each and every corner of the earth.

    b. What is ‘voice’ referred to in the lines mentioned above?


    The voice referred to here is the call of every object of nature i.e., the sky, stars, sun,
    birds, seas, etc. that tempts the poet to set out on a journey.

    V. Answer the following questions:

    young ships sail away’?
    The poet says that he can easily see the horizon and he can see the two-way
    movement of ships. He refers to the old ships to experienced people who are
    coming home after a long journey, and trade, for retirement and rest. The young
    ships are young people who are beginning their journey in life and career. They are
    ready for new adventures and experiences.

    3. Why do you think the poet say ‘come I may, but go I must’?
    The poet is a wanderer, who loves to explore and doesn’t like to stop. However, he does
    come home once in a while, for he has been journeying for years. Nevertheless, he cannot
    remain on land for very long, and soon, he must go out into the sea again. He cannot ignore
    the call of the stars, the sun, the white road and the sky. All these elements of nature call
    him to keep on travelling and exploring till he reaches every corner of this planet.
