what is the message of poem brook
Hi all,
@Vimisha,you have asked a very nice question and your friends Santiswarup and Vaibhavi have put in a lot of effort in answering the question. However, there are a few points which would help you understand the message of the poem:
The brook appears to be a symbol for life. A few instances which explain and help to compare life and the brook, are:
- When the brook comes out from the mountains, its movement is very noisy and quick and it is in full vigour. It is in a hurry to reach its destination, that is, the river. This is similar to human beings in early age, when man is very energetic, lively, enthusiastic and full of vigour.
- The poet talks about the movement of the brook being slow and smooth when it comes closer to the river, which can be compared to man in his old age, who becomes very calm, soft, gentle and lethargic.
- In the early phase of the brook’s life, it has a very fast motion and it overcomes all the obstacles, stones and pebbles in its way. This nature of the brook can be compared to man in his youth when he is enthusiastic and is ready to face all the challenges that come in his way.
- During the course of the brook’s journey, it takes a lot of things along with it like blossoms, silt, gravel and fish. Same is the case with man who accompanies and moves forward in life with the people he meets, in the journey of his life.
- The only difference between the two can be drawn by the fact that the brook is eternal and has a continuous flow while the human life ends by the arrival of death.
@Santiswarup and Vaibhavi, thanks a lot for posting in our forum. Your efforts are precious to us.
