Question

Comment on the appropriateness of the title of the poem ‘The Heart of the

Tree’.​

Answer 1

Answer:

"The Heart of the Tree" is an appropriate title. The heart is one of the most important organ in the entire human body, which a human needs to live with. Likewise, a tree has certain qualities, which are essential as human heart, for survival. Trees absorb carbon dioxide and give out oxygen for us to inhale, they causes rainfall, they provide shade and other nutrients and material things. According to the poet, the one who plants trees plants "seed and bud of days to be", i.e., the tree itself can be compared to a heart. Heart maintains human life, so does the tree maintain the plant and animal life on the Earth. The Heart here thus signifies the most important quality of the tree. It can be concluded that the title is appropriate as the poem is about trees and their importance for the survival of mankind.
