 Q.How is the kingfisher different from the peacock, according to the poet?How does he hint at the qualities he himself possesses?

Ans- The poet says that both, Kingfisher and the peacock are beautiful and colorful. But, the peacock shows itself off and lives in the "King's Garden". The poet feels that the Kingfisher is neither proud nor ambitious. It prefers to stay away from the public gaze. The little kingfisher should also show its brilliance to the whole world. But it avoids displaying itself to the proud kings.

The poet compares himself with the kingfisher and says that like the kingfisher, he also prefers to visit the lonely pools where the branches of the trees droop over water.

Like Kingfisher, the poet also likes solitude. He aspires for a peaceful life, far from the madding crowd. Like a Kingfisher, he also wishes for a calm and quiet place, near a lonely pool. where a tree would bend over him like a mother bending over her child. Thus, the poem is fully appropriate and inspiring.
