Let Me Not to the Marriage of True Minds Summary 

  • Love that alters when it meets with alteration or change when partner changes aren't defined as love.
  • True love is similar to a fixed beacon that is not even shaken by tempests. It is just like the Northstar that guides every voyaging ship.
  • Moreover, its altitude can be known but knowing its true value is impossible. 
  • Though time can bring changes in rosy lips and cheeks of beloved but can never befool love.
  • Love can never decline with advancement in time but rather continues until they meet death. 
  • The sonneteer ends by saying, if his thought regarding love is proved wrong, he will leave composing poems with a thought of no man ever loved truly.

                        Read the following extract and answer the following questions:
                        The make-up room had the look of a hair-cutting salon with lights at
                        all angles around half a dozen large mirrors. They were all
                        incandescent lights, so you can imagine the fiery misery of those
                        subjected to make-up. The make-up department was first headed by
                        a Bengali who became too big for a studio and left. He was succeeded
                        by a Maharashtrian who was assisted by a Dharwar Kannadiga, an
                        Andhra, a Madras Indian Christian, an Anglo-Burmese and the
                        usual local Tamils. All this shows that there was a great deal of
                        national integration long before A.I.R. and Doordarshan began
                        broadcasting programmes on national integration. This gang of
                        nationally integrated make-up men could turn any decent-looking
                        person into a hideous crimson hued monster with the help of truck-
                        loads of pancake and a number of other locally made potions and
                        lotions.
                        (Poets and Pancakes)
                        (i) Why does the author compare the make-up room to a salon?
                        (ii) Select the correct option from those given in brackets to fill in the blank.
                        The term ‘crimson hued monster’ refers to the make-up applied to actors to make them look ugly so that they look \underline{\hspace{1.5cm}} (beautiful/terrified) on screen.
                        (iii) Complete the following sentence appropriately.
                        The make-up team’s ability to transform actors reveals two things about their skills:
                        First, their ___ and second, their use of ___.
                        (iv) Give textual evidence to prove that the make-up team reflected national integration.
                        (v) Explain the phrase ‘fiery misery’ with reference to the given extract.
                        (vi) What does the following line from the extract showcase?
                        “With the help of truck-loads of pancake and a number of other locally made potions and lotions.”
                        (A) creativity
                        (B) normalcy
                        (C) exaggeration
                        (D) simplicity
