Question

In the poem foreign lands why is the word farther repeated​

Answer 1

Answer:

As a child, the poet climbed a cherry tree and held on to its trunk using his hands. From this height, he visualized seeing foreign lands at a distance. The neighbor’s garden with its colorful flowers were a pretty sight. He could also see many more pleasant sights like the river passing by and the blue sky sitting high up on the tree. The poet also saw people walking up and down to town on the dusty roads.

The poet wished that he could find a higher tree to climb. If he could so, he was sure that he would be able to see farther and see the river joining the sea among the ships. He would also see the roads on either side leading to fairy lands where children play at five in the evening. All playthings would then come to life.
