 Asleep in the Valley

                           Arthur Rimbaud

Justify the significance of the title of the poem "Asleep in the Valley".[Asleep in the Valley কবিতাটির নামকরণের তাৎপর্য বিচার করো ।]

Ans: 

The poem "Asleep in the Valley" highlights the beauty of a small green valley.  A river flows through it.  There a young soldier is sleeping peacefully in the sun-warmed grass.  But in fact he died of two bullet wounds in battle.  And he is asleep forever.  The poet urges nature to keep his body warm.  Nature cannot bring back the life of a soldier.  The poet's point of view here is to express the futility of warfare.  And this point of view has been expressed ironically in the title of the poem in a subtle  manner.  So, the title of the the poem is justified.
