The Earthen Goblet
The Earthen Goblet
Introduction:
The poem "The earthen goblet" by Harindranath Chattopadhyaya is written to highlight the value of living a
natural and unsophisticated life while enjoying the simplicity of life. The poem is written in conversational
form, the poet asks a question from the goblet and the goblet answers him. Although the poem is a conversation
between the poet and the goblet, the poet indirectly implies the idea that it's a conversation between him and
his conscience. He narrates his own story with a guilty conscious mind, while regretting the fact that he has
abandoned his natural life style.
