What is the conclusion that we get from the poem the brook?
The poem 'The Brook' is written in first person, so it strikes an autobiographical note. It proceeds like a journey,which has different stages, various ups and downs,showing different kinds of movement.The Brook begins its journey from somewhere in the mountains, which are home to birds like 'coots' and'heron' and ends it by joining the 'brimming river'. On itsway, it passes by many hills, ridges, towns, villages,bridges. The brook's movement is sometimes forceful andstrong, sometimes leisurely. It makes its way by erodingthe banks, through cultivated, uncultivated lands and forelands. The brook is also the habitat of many kinds of fish and is full of willows, mallows and flowers. It also provides a meeting point for lovers and surface to swallows to skim. Its rushing water serves as a background for the dance of the rays of the sun. The brook proceeds on its journey slipping, sliding, gliding, dancing, lingering, gushing. The moon, the stars make it murmur. On its way, it overcomes many hurdles and obstacles but reaches its final destination in the end.The journey of the brook becomes parallel to the journey of human life. The poet makes a reflective comment which highlights the continuity and eternal existence of the brookto the transitory nature of human life. The poet wishes topoint out that just as ups and downs do not deter the brook from its journey, similarly, human beings should also take the hurdles and sorrows in their stride.

Give a Line by line explanation of the Brook?
I come from haunts of coot and hern.- The brook starts from a place the coots (a kind of duck) & herns (commonly known as herons) spend most of their times.I make a sudden sally,-The brook suddenly rushes down.And sparkle out among the fern,-As the brook flows it sparkles because of sun rays, and it flows through a ground which mostly have grasses and flowerless plants (ferns).To bicker down a valley.-The brook flows down a valley making noisy sounds.By thirty hills I hurry down,-Here the brook swiftly flows down many hills. There are not literally 'Thirty hills' but the poet make's the line creative by using 'Thirty' and not 'many'.Or slip between the ridges,-The brook 'slips'(quickly moves) between long narrow hilltops.By twenty thorps, a little town,-The brook flows down past many villages (Thorp-Old word for village) -again the poet tries to make the line creative by using 'Twenty'-not literally 'Twenty villages' and a little town as well.And half a hundred bridges.-The brook flows and passes by/through many bridges-not literally 'Half a hundred' bridges.Till last by Philip's farm I flow-The brook flows by a farm probably owned by a man named Philip.To join the brimming river,-After the farm he flows to join a overflowing river.For men may come and men may go, But I go on forever. Men/people have a short life spam but the brook is immortal so it has a longer life spam and hence goes on 'forever'.I chatter over stony ways, In little sharps and trebles, -As the brook flows it chatters (makes a interesting and musical sound) over a stony creek bed.I bubble into eddying bays, -When the brook flows backward it 'pushes' the air and makes bubbles.I babble on the pebbles, -As the brook moves it makes sound because of the pebbles.With many a curve my banks I fret-The brook flows curvily because at one point the path curves and it wears away.By many a field and fallow,-The brook flows by many fields and bare places (fallows), probably the soil is infertile which is why the land is bare and no plants grow.And many a fairy foreland set, With willow-weed & mallow. -There are many pieces of land sticking out in the brook (called foreland) which have some plants such as 'Willow-weed & mallow'. Where colorful & bright birds, insects & butterflies come which look like fairies from far away.I chatter, chatter as I flow-The brook makes sound as it flows.
What is the Parallelism between brook and humans in the brook?
The poet has realistically drawn a parallelism between the journey of the brook with the life of a man... the poet says as in the childhood the a child is very agile, energetic and lively , like that only the brook in the beginning stage of its life is very powerful, enhacing and it keeps on flowing with a great rush and enthusiasm through out its life .it falls from great heights and menders around the wavy path, and when it approaches on plain it becomes very slow and continues to flow eternally .like the brook a man toward the end of his life he becomes slow in his moves and ultimately dies and also emerges with its final destination but it never ends to flow........LITERAL EXPLANATION: * The brook makes a sudden appearance by emerging from the mountains, the dwelling place of water birds (coot and hern). It sparkles and shines among the fern (flowerless plants) because the sun's rays are reflected off by it. The brook flows down a valley quickly in a very noisy manner. * The poet depicts the pace of the brook, as it quickly flows through hills, ridges, villages, a town and bridges. * Finally, the brook joins the overflowing river after it flows by a farm (Philip's farm). * As the brook flows by stony ways, it creates a whirlpool (eddying bay) and sounds (chatters) because of the stones and pebbles in its path. * As the brook flows further, it erodes its banks. The brook then flows by fields, infertile barren lands and a foreland filled with flowers (willow-weed and mallow). * The brook then meanders in and out, and carries along with it blossoms, silt, fish(grayling and trout) and gravel. * There are some changes in the terrain and the water of the brook hits many hard objects, causing the water to split in various directions and foam formation. * When the brook comes closer towards the river, in the plains, its movement becomes slower, gentle, calm, quiet and soft. It flows smoothly by the lawns and grassy plots; and the hazel covers and the forget-me-nots flowers. * The sunlight falls on the brook after it penetrates through the canopy covers. Water becomes shallowers on its sandy banks. * At night, the brook flows through thorny forests. It flows by eroded pebbles and stones slowly and by the pungent leaf plants(cresses). * The brook continues its journey to join the briiming river as it makes its way out of the vegetation.PARALLEL WITH HUMAN LIFE: * When the brook emerges from the mountains , its movement is very noisy and quick and it is very energetic. It is in a rush to achieve its goal of joining the overflowing river. Similarly, man in his youth is very lively, agile, energetic and active. * The brook in its early stages is very fast and overcomes all the hurdles, hard objects, stones and pebbles in its journey. This can be compared to man in his youth who is enthusiastic and can strive and accept all the challenges that come in his way. * During the journey, the brook takes along with it silt, gravel, blossoms and fish. Similarly man also takes away different people he comes across along with him, in some way, to accompany him ahead in the journey of life. * When the brook comes closer to the river, its movement becomes slow and smooth, which can be compared to man in his old age, who becomes very calm, gentle, soft and lethargic. * The difference between the two is that the brook is eternal and keeps flowing on forever, while man reaches his final destination after his old age by meeting the horns of death.POETIC DEVICES: * ALLITERATION: sudden sally, Half a hundred, skimming swallows, golden gravel, willow-weeds, fairy foreland, field and fallow * ONOMATOPOEIA: bicker, babble, chatter, murmur * RHYMING SCHEME: abab * REFRAIN: For men may come and may go, but I go on forever. * REPETITION: And here and there a lusty trout, And here and there a grayling. I chatter, chatter * PERSONIFICATION: The brook has been personified * SYMBOL: Fish=source of life, forget-me-nots=eternal love'FOR MEN MAY COME AND MAN MAY GO, BUT I GO ON FOREVER':The poet has compared the mortal nature of man with the immortal nature of the brook. The poet has drawn a parallel between the two and has tried to depict the similarities between the two in the various stages of the journey of their lives. The brook keeps flowing on forever and is eternal. But man has a certain lifespan and man's journey of life has to end when he meets the horns of death. The poet, through this poem has tried to emphasize on this point by using the refrain-'For men may come, And men may go, But I go on forever.'

What does the brook have to say about 'human life'?
The Poem is a symbol of life. The brook's journey from its origin till its joining the brimming river is man's journey of life from birth to death. Whatever happens to it on the way is similar to what man encounters through his life. The brook's noisy flow is similar to mans struggling and fretting and fuming against the odds of life. The brook slips, slides, glooms and glances. So does man. It makes its way forcefully against odds, so does man as he struggles through many problems. The brook carries many things with it as it flows. So does man-he meets people - builds relationships - carries memories, collects materialistic things as he goes through life. The only difference between man and the brook is that man's life comes to an end. Where as the brook lives on and on forever.
