Explain the significance of the title of the poem "Meeting at Night" by Robert Browning
ANS. The poem "Meeting at Night'' describes the lover's secret meeting with his beloved in a distant farmhouse. The lover undertakes a long journey across the sea and the land at night. The lover overcomes hardships and obstacles to fulfil his mission of love. He lands on the beach and walks a mile along the warm sea- scented beach. Then he crosses three fields to reach the farmhouse where his beloved lives. The lover makes his presence felt by tapping at the window pane. Then his beloved lights a match and starts whispering with him. They are locked in warm embrace in the midst of joys and fears.The secret meeting of the two lovers is symbolically suggested by the title. Hence, the title of the poem is quite justified.
