Summary in Marathi


“In form and feature, face and limb, / I grew so like my brother”:

  • कवी सांगतो की तो आणि त्याचा जुळा भाऊ पूर्णतः सारखे दिसायचे.

“That folks got taking me for him, / And each for one another.”:

  • लोक नेहमी त्याला त्याच्या भावासाठी चुकून समजत.

“It puzzled all our kith and kin, / It reached a fearful pitch;”:

  • हे गोंधळ त्यांच्या नातेवाईकांमध्येही होता आणि परिस्थिती गंभीर झाली.

“For one of us was born a twin, / Yet not a soul knew which.”:

  • जरी एक जुळा भाऊ होता हे माहित होते, तरी कोणताही स्पष्ट ओळख नाही झाली.

“One day, to make the matter worse, / Before our names were fixed,”:

  • नाव ठेवण्यापूर्वीच गोंधळ आणखी वाढला.

“As we were being washed by nurse, / We got completely mixed;”:

  • एका दिवसाची गोष्ट, जेव्हा नर्सने त्यांना चुकून एकमेकांचे नाव दिले.

“My brother John got christened me, / And I got christened him.”:

  • या चुकीमुळे नथाला जॉनचे नाव मिळाले आणि जॉनला नथाचे.

“This fatal likeness even dogged / My footsteps, when at school,”:

  • शाळेतसुद्धा ही गफलत चालू राहिली.

“And I was always getting flogged, / For John turned out a fool.”:

  • जॉनच्या चुकीसाठी नेहमी कवीला शिक्षा व्हायची.

“I put this question, fruitlessly, / To everyone I knew,”:

  • त्याने लोकांना विचारले की त्याने स्वतःची ओळख कशी सिद्ध करावी, पण उत्तर मिळाले नाही.

“‘What would you do, if you were me, / To prove that you were you?’”:

  • कवीने ओळख सिद्ध करायची अशक्यता दर्शवली आहे.

“Our close resemblance turned the tide / Of my domestic life,”:

  • त्यांच्या वैयक्तिक जीवनावरही परिणाम झाला.

“For somehow, my intended bride / Became my brother’s wife.”:

  • कवीच्या वधूने चुकून जॉनशी लग्न केले.

“In fact, year after year the same / Absurd mistakes went on,”:

  • गोंधळ संपूर्ण जीवनभर चालू राहिला.

“And when I died, the neighbours came / And buried brother John.”:

  • शेवटी, कवीच्या मृत्यूनंतर शेजाऱ्यांनी चुकून जॉनला पुरले.

Summary in English


“In form and feature, face and limb, / I grew so like my brother”:

  • The speaker shares that he and his twin brother were identical in every physical aspect, including their facial features and limbs.

“That folks got taking me for him, / And each for one another.”:

  • People often mistook one twin for the other, leading to constant confusion.

“It puzzled all our kith and kin, / It reached a fearful pitch;”:

  • Even their relatives couldn’t differentiate between them, and the situation became extremely perplexing.

“For one of us was born a twin, / Yet not a soul knew which.”:

  • The irony is highlighted: though they knew one was a twin, no one could tell who was who.

“One day, to make the matter worse, / Before our names were fixed,”:

  • The confusion escalated when, as infants, their names were not yet officially assigned.

“As we were being washed by nurse, / We got completely mixed;”:

  • During a bathing session, the nurse accidentally swapped their names, cementing the lifelong confusion.

“My brother John got christened me, / And I got christened him.”:

  • The speaker was given his brother’s name, and his brother was given the speaker’s name, creating an irreversible mix-up.

“This fatal likeness even dogged / My footsteps, when at school,”:

  • The speaker narrates how this confusion followed him to school, causing more problems.

“And I was always getting flogged, / For John turned out a fool.”:

  • The speaker was often punished for his brother John’s foolish mistakes, as teachers couldn’t tell them apart.

“I put this question, fruitlessly, / To everyone I knew,”:

  • The speaker repeatedly asked for advice on how to prove his own identity but got no help.

“‘What would you do, if you were me, / To prove that you were you?’”:

  • He humorously questions the impossibility of proving his own identity when everyone is confused.

“Our close resemblance turned the tide / Of my domestic life,”:

  • The confusion had a significant impact on his personal relationships.

“For somehow, my intended bride / Became my brother’s wife.”:

  • In a dramatic mix-up, the speaker’s fiancée ended up marrying his brother instead of him.

“In fact, year after year the same / Absurd mistakes went on,”:

  • The mistakes and mix-ups due to their identical appearance persisted throughout their lives.

“And when I died, the neighbours came / And buried brother John.”:

  • The ultimate irony: when the speaker died, the neighbors mistakenly buried his twin brother John instead.
