Question

Give two example of imagery used by the poet in time of silver rain

Answer 1

Answer:

The imagery captured by Hughes in his poem "In Time of Silver Rain" focuses on the beauty of spring. In the first stanza, the alliteration in "green grasses grow" focuses attention on the transformation of the earth's covering from winter into spring. Personification is used to highlight the imagery of flowers "lift[ing] their heads" as they awaken into spring, and this shift into "new life" on the Earth is a cause of wonder.

Answer 2

Answer:

In the third stanza, Hughes presents an image of butterflies which lift "silken" wings, both connoting the value and fragility in their beauty. Trees push forth new leaves in joy along a roadside, and boys and girls are so transformed by the nature around them that they pass by in song.
