Question

How is the valley brightened up in the poem Asleep in the valley?​

Answer 1

Answer:

Explanation:

Justify the title of the poem ‘Asleep in the Valley’.Asleep in the Valley means sleeping in the valley. A very young soldier is lying on the ground of a valley open mouthed. He is lying with a gentle innocent smile. The poet thinks that the soldier is sleeping peacefully in the sunlight. The poet requests the insects not to disturb his sleep. He request the nature to keep the solder worm, otherwise he may catch cold. Suddenly to red spots of the blood are noticed by the side of his body. This depicts that the soldier is already dead. His sleep is eternal and he will never wake again. Through this the poet Rimbaud evokes the futility of war. War only catches young lives. So the title suggests the tragedy of war.
