Cane bottom chair lesson sumary of 8th class

 the poem is talking about a (maybe, secret) chamber, away from world’s worries, illness and loneliness. This room is four pair of stairs up, so reaching the room is a big task in itself (because there were no escalators at the time when this poem was written) yet the fresh air, bright fire and sunny view it offers is worth all the efforts.

In next few lines, poet talks about things that garnish his little nest. There are silly knickknacks, old books, cracked bargains from brokers and cheap keepsakes from friends; also an old armour, prints, pictures, broken china, rickety furniture but all this is pleasant to poet. .

his house is flooded with memories. Here the poet talked about old books, and cheap treasures that he had in his room which is dear  to him. Out of all the things kept there, the poet cherishes his cane-bottomed chair. Though the chair is dilapidated: worm-eaten seat, creaking back, twisted feet but this makes the finest couch to poet which he would never like to change. He says, since the time his friend Fanny sat there, he loves it more. If chairs have feelings, poet says, then the chair too must have felt the charm of his friend. He wish to be himself turned into a chair to experience the thrill of holding his friend in his arms. Since the friend, who had a scarf around her neck, smile on her face, rose in her hair, sat their, poet values the chair as a shrine of a saint or throne of prince. He declares Fanny as the queen of his heart and his cane-bottomed chair.in the evening, when no one accompanies him, he sits in his kingdom alone, with the old yet lively memory of the momentarily moment when his treasured fanny sat there. . every night she revisits him from the past:; if only in a memory, and with the same charismatic and appealing face she  sits on the cane bottom'd chair
