Have I understood? (3)

Time to test your understanding of Mr. Nobody. Owh..Don't be nervous. Just a simple assessment =)


Read the following stanza and then answer the questions below.

 

The  finger marks upon the door
         By none of us  are  made;
We never leave the blinds  unclosed,
         To let the curtains fade;
The ink we  never  spill; the boots
          That lying  round you see
Are not our  boots – they all  belong
          To Mr. Nobody




1.         What do you think the following lines mean?
            “The finger marks upon the door / By none of us are made;”
