 Someone

---by Walter De La More

Ø  Act.-3: I think that a being from the mysterious world would come knocking at the door or it may be some insects that hit the door at night while flying. Ø  Act.-5: a. Having heard the knocking the poet opened the door and looked at left and right to have the person (who might knock at the door.) Ø  Act.-5:b.The night was dark and still. Only the beetles tap-tapping, cricket’s whistle and Screech Owl’s call were heard with the faded sound of dew-dropping. Ø  Act.-5: c. The poet has used the expression ‘at all’ thrice in the last line of the poem to stress his state of being puzzled about the fact that he was utterly unaware of the identity of the person who knocked at the door.
