Answer:
Wordsworth’s “Lamb,
the frolic and the gentle” was a refined humorist whose smile could be
both satirical and tender. In him humour and pathos are, indeed, very often
allied. Lamb could not prevent his mind from passing at times to the sadder
aspects of life, and there is belief that he laughed to save himself from
weeping. Laughter is followed by tears of
sympathy in many of his essays. In fact, Lamb’s personal life was full of disappointments
and frustrations. But instead of complaining, he looked at the tragedies of
life, its miseries and worries as a humorist. Dream Children: A Reverie is a true testimony of his
blending of humor and pathos in a single row.
The whole essay permeated with a
note of heart sob. With the “viewless wings of poesy” he
journeys back to the good old days and pops up stories in front of his dream
children. He relates his childhood days, of Mrs. Field, his grandmother and
John Lamb, his brother. He describes how fun he had at the great house and
orchard in Norfolk. Of his relations he gives us full and vibrant pictures –
his brother John (John L-), so handsome and spirited youth, and a ‘king’. John
was brave, handsome and won admiration from everybody Charles’ grandmother Mrs.
Field is the other living picture. She was a good natured and religions –
minded lady of respectable personality.
