On Killing a Tree

SUMMARY: Gieve Patel in his poem 'On Killing a Tree' wants to comment on the cutting of trees. According to him, it will take a long time to kill a tree. It is not just a simple jab, a quick stab or blow that can do the job. The tree has grown slowly consuming the earth, eating and drinking from it. It rises out of the earth, feeding upon the crust of the earth, absorbing years of sunlight, air and water. Out of the trees' leprous hide, the newly formed leaves begin to sprout.
A man may hack and chop with repeated and regular blows but still this alone will not do the job. The tree does not seem to feel any kind of pain because the bleeding of bark seems to heal all the time. The trunk of the tree from close to the ground will produce curled green twigs that will rise from the miniature boughs. If their growth is not checked, they will expand again and grow to their former sizes.
The most important thing to do while killing a tree is to ensure that the root is pulled out of the anchoring earth. The tree is to be roped, tied, pulled out and snapped out entirely from the earth cave. Finally, the strength of the tree -- the white and wet root which is the most sensitive part and which has remained hidden for many years inside the earth will be exposed altogether.
Then, it is only a matter of scorching and choking in the sun. In the end, the tree will go through a process of browning, hardening, twisting and withering. Ultimately, the tree is killed.
Give the central idea of the poem “On Killing a Tree". [ “On Killing a Tree" কবিতাটির কেন্দ্রীয় ভাবটি প্রকাশ করাে]
ANS . The poem "On Killing a Tree" focuses on the killing of a tree completely by a benefactor. The poet says that the tree grows slowly by consuming the earth's nutrients and absorbing sunlight, air and water. It does not disturb human beings, rather helps them to live a healthy life. But when it is hacked and chopped for man's greed, it silently endures its pain. After healing itself naturally, its new leaves sprout again, and gets back its former size. When man wants to satisfy his extreme greed, it is uprooted. In fact, man is a great killer. This idea is ironically presented in the poem .
বঙ্গানুবাদ: “On Killing a Tree” কবিতাটি একজন উপকারীর দ্বারা একটি গাছকে সম্পূর্ণভাবে মেরে ফেলার বিষয়ের উপর আলােকপাত করে। কবি বলেছেন যে গাছ ধীরে ধীরে পৃথিবীর পুষ্টিদ্রব্য ভোগ করে এবং সূর্যলোক, বাতাস আর জল শোষণ করে বাড়ে। সে মানুষের কোনাে অসুবিধা করে না, বরং তাদের সুস্থভাবে জীবনযাপনে সাহায্য করে। কিন্তু যখন তাকে মানুষের লােভের জন্য কুপিয়ে ও কুচিয়ে কাটা হয়, তখন সে নীরবে যন্ত্রণা সহ্য করে। প্রাকৃতিক নিয়মে নিজেকে সুস্থ করে তােলার পর, আবার তার নতুন পাতা গজায়, আর সে তার আগেকার আকৃতি ফিরে পায়। যখন মানুষ তার চরম লােভ চরিতার্থ করতে চায়, তখন তাকে মূলােৎপাটিত করা হয়। প্রকৃতপক্ষে মানুষই হল স্বার্থপর হত্যাকারী। এই ভাবটিই শ্লেষের সঙ্গে কবিতায় উপস্থাপিত করা হয়েছে। ]
