                        Be  Ready!                                                                                     UNIT-3 THEME : EMBRACING  INDIVIDUALITY AND UNIQUENESS

                Individuals  should  not shy away from confronting both their strengths and
                weaknesses, even when it may be uncomfortable. By doing so, they can grow
                and become more authentic versions of themselves. The poem highlights the

                value of moments of solitude and contemplation, particularly during times of
                inner turmoil and self-doubt.







            Recite  and Understand

            That mirror

            Which makes of men a transparency,

            Who holds that mirror

            And bids us such a breast-bared
            spectacle to see

            Of you and me?




            That mirror

            Whose magic penetrates like a dart,

            Who lifts that mirror
            And throws our mind back on us, and

            our heart,

            Until we start?
