Question 1 Report

"...Let the greying day grow,

...let the evening horns blow,

...let the melting mountains go...'The repetition of these lines from Atukwei Okai's

"Sunset Sonata"

Answer Details
The repetition of the lines from Atukwei Okai's "Sunset Sonata" is for emphasis of the main ideas. By repeating these lines, the poet draws attention to the passing of time and the inevitability of change, as symbolized by the greying day, evening horns, and melting mountains. The repetition also imbues the poem with a sense of rhythm and musicality, contributing to its overall lyrical quality. However, the repetition does not necessarily summarize the major themes of the poem or indicate that it is a dirge.
