Question

a brief summary on way through woods poem​

Answer 1

Answer:

Explanation:

This poem summary is divided into two paragraphs, focusing on one of the two stanzas of ‘The Way Through the Woods.’ The first stanza consists of twelve lines. In this stanza, the poet-narrator persona says that there had once been a path running through a forest, but that path had been closed down seventy years before the time in which this poem was being written. Hence the first two lines themselves arouse curiosity in readers.

Next, the poet-narrator describes what has happened after the forest path has been closed down. He says that trees had been planted to grow all over the place where the path had previously been an obscure it’s very existence. Because of the thick forest cover, there is no sunlight as it is, and rain has come down at regular intervals within the forest, contributing to the further disappearance of the path. The seventh line of this stanza contains a clue that the landscape being described is an English one. This makes sense because, as is well known, Kipling only gained fame as a writer after returning to England from India.
