Question

Depiction of the brook appears to be quite close to that of a young child . Do you agree ? Give reasons.

Answer 1

I completely agree that the depiction of the brook is quite identical with a child. Immediately after its origin from the 'haunt of coots and herons' the brook gushes down the valley with a lot of bickering and chattering. It reflects the spontaneity and garrulous nature of a child. It passes various terrains on its path and experiences newer avenues quite like a child faces various stages in his/her life. A child is all embracing and all accepting; so is the brook as it takes along whatever comes in its path. Lastly, both a child and the brook are boastful; that's why it emphasizes again and again, "Men may come and men may go, But I go on forever."
