Read the following lines from ‘The Master’ and answer the questions that
follow:
And he installed himself and his brushes amid the dung and the flies,
and studied the horses - their bodies’ keen alertness -
eye-sparkle of one, another’s sensitive stance,
the way a third moved graceful in his bulk -
and painted at last the emperor’s favourite,
the charger named ‘Nightshining White,’
Whose likeness after centuries still dazzles.
1. What act of Han Kan shows that he is a real master?
2. What details of horses did Han Kan study?
3. Why did Han Kan name his horse as ‘Nightshining White’?
4. Pick out the line that suggests the painting will last for years?
