This child is built to my design Yet what he loves I cannot share, Silence surrounds us. (a) Find two expressions which show the desolation the father feels.
Dear student
The line that you have mentioned is one example which shows the desolation that the father feels. Here are a few other examples.
"Though we have lived together now,
In the same house for years. I know
Nothing of him,"
"We speak like strangers, there’s no sign
Of understanding in the air."
In both cases, the father points out that he and his child are very different and therefore they feel like strangers towards each other, hence increasing the sense of isolation the father feels.
