Ans According to the O.E.D, the word ‘asleep’ means in a state of sleep. Naturally, someone sleeping in the valley is indicated here. In his poem, Arthur Rimbaud draws a vivid scene of a green beautiful valley in the opening quatrain. There on “A soldier, very young, lies open-mouthed.” He seems to ‘sleep’ in the poet’s description, on a pillow made of fern, on a bed, green and warm, under sunlight. His body is stretched in the heavy undergrowth and feet are covered with flowers.
Here two expressions are important and these are ‘asleep’ and ‘in the valley’-‘Asleep in the Valley’. But the poet’s real meaning is not ‘asleep’ but ‘dead’. He strikes this in the concluding lines of the poem
“He sleeps in sunlight, one hand on his breast, At peace. In his side there are two red holes.”
The whole truth comes out here. It is a young soldier, lying dead and quiet in a pleasant and graceful valley. The title is quite befitting and presented elegantly with a novel suggestiveness. [173 words]

He looks all innocent and pure, gentle and without guile. But he is not spared by the brutal blow of war. This is what war has made of him. The theme of the poem, which is all of the futility of war, is struck here. (121 words ]

An anti-war poem particularly has the latter function. It exposes ruthlessly the brutal business of war. Arthur Rimbaud’s Asleep In The Valley is a war-poemrather an anti-war poem. That war is a big slaughter-house for young, prospective soldiers is demonstrated here. The poem presents the scene of a helpless young victim of war amid a lovely and graceful natural setting. A soldier, very young, lies dead on a warm, graceful, sunlit valley. Two bloody bullets have pierced his body and killed him. He looks all innocent, pure, simple and guileless. Yet war has not spared him. This is the horror of war—its utter futility. [134 words ]

His feet are covered with wild flowers. This young soldier seems asleep. But he is actually dead, slain by the two bullets piercing his body at the battle-field. With one hand on his breast, he is now in eternal sleep.
But the poet does not stop here. The soldier is quite young. This prospective pure, young life, at the prime of his age, has been ruthlessly cut short by his untimely death in war. The poet brings out through this horrified scene of the young soldier lying dead, with bloody bullet marks, amidst a lovely valley of natural beauty the utter horror of war. [164 words)
Q. 6 In his side, there are two red holes” What is indicated here? Bring out the significance precisely and clearly?[3+3=6]

0.7 Show how Arthur Rimbaud has successfully used the sonnet form in his war poem ‘Asleep
In The Valley’. Or, Write a precise critical note on Arthur Rimbaud’s ‘Asleep In The Valley’ as a sonnet.
Ans A sonnet is a short poem of fourteen lines. This has two popular types. One is the Patrarchan Italian type. This has two unequal divisions of eight lines and six lines. The first eight lines form the octave and the last six lines, the sestet.
The second type has four divisions — three quatrains and a concluding couplet . This is the Shakespearean or English type.
Arthur Rimbaud’s Asleep In The Valley belongs to the first group of the sonnet i.e., the Italian sonnet. Of course, the Octave here has here two quatrains while the sestet has also two divisions of three lines each. Moreover, the rhyme scheme here is not regular as in a Petrarchan type. In fact, this seems to be an irregular Petrarchan sonnet.
The poet, of course, well manages [144 words ] to expose war with all its horror and pity. Arthur Rimbaud-এর

Rays; they fill the hollow full of light. Indeed, the whole description is vivid and complete. This imagery is followed by another one in the very next quatrain. This is of a soldier, very young. He lies open-mouthed, fast asleep. His head is on a pillow, made of fern leaves. His body is stretched to the heavy undergrowth. The fellow looks ‘pale in his warm, green, sun-soaked bed.’ Here, again, the imagery is perfect, complete in itself.
