Ans:The aforesaid statement signifies the pacy life of today. The world is running fast. Science has made the life full of action and fast movement. The sentiments of the corn-merchant throw the light on the tremendous change in the life of mankind. There is the comparison in the pacy life with the fast speed of an aeroplane which goes even 1000 miles an hour. The corn marchant feels it (such speed) too fast. He seems to be somewhat desperated.Thus, it glorifies the pacy life of the people in the modern time.
