Q.1: How did the earth appear to the poet from the height of sky? What was it that the poet could not understand even from the sky?
Ans: From about six miles above the earth, it appeared round. It was also clear that there was more water (sea) than the land. It was thus a lesson in geography which the poet had learnt. However the poet found it difficult to understand why people hated each other. He failed to understand why people built walls across the cities to kill other human beings.
In brief the poet says that from the height of sky it is easy to understand the logic of geography but, what remains a mystery is the human psychology that why people hate and kill one another
