He walks in his vivid stripsThe few steps of his case,On pads of velvet quiet,In his quiet rage.

explain it with reference to the context.

In this poem, the poet has tried to show the behaviour of a tiger when it is trapped in a cage. The tiger has very distinct stripes on his body and he is walking to and fro in his cage. His feet are padded like thick velvet so he doesn't make a sound. He is angry because he has been captured and put behind the bars of a cage, and he shows his anger by quietly walking about without rest.
