Full explanation Of The Brook

Answer 1

Brook is poem written by Alfred Lord Tennyson.

In this poem, the brook refers itself to a living being.This is called personification.The word 'I' explains it.

The brook suddenly emerges from a place frequently visited by coots and herons.It falls down a velley making a quarelling noise.The poet uses numerical references like 'thirty hills', 'twenty thorpes' & ' half hundred bridges'.The brook joins the brimming river at Philip's farm. The line'For men may come and men may go, but I go on forever' explains the brook is immortal as it goes on forever.Also this line is a refrain(A sentence that is repeated again and again in a poem).

The poet uses human comparions using words like-'chatter', 'bicker', 'trebles' etc.

The brook makes a chattering noise as it passes over stony ways and in little sharps and trebles it bubbles into eddying bays.The brook's bank passes through many curves and fields along weeds and other plants.The river keeps chattering in order to meet the brimming river.It carries many thigs like blossoms, lusty trouts, grayling, foamy flakes, forget me nots etc..

The brooks gently crosses the lawn and grassy plots and slides by hazel covers.It moves by the sweet forget me nots thet grow for happy lovers (The flowers are so lovely that people give it to their lovers so that they don't forget each other).

The river does many actions. It slips, slides, glooms, glances. The swallows ( a kind of bird) skim through the top of the brook and the water makes the sunbeam dance by acting as nets against it's sandy shallows.

While passing through throny bushes,the brooks murmers(human comparison-the brook complains) about passing the scary throny poisonous bushes.But when it surfaces the shingly bars (pebbles), it loiters(human comparison- it stays there for some time) round the cresses.

And finally the brook winds around the curver to flow into the brimming river. Still it remaind immortal after passing through thorns and venmous bushes.

This poem uses many poetic devices like allitration(eg.fairy forland , golden gravel etc..).

The poem also uses refrains(For men may come and men may go, but I go on forever).

Personification is also used as explained before.
