Question

introduction of THe heart of the treeby henry cyler bunner

Answer 1

Planting a tree is always a great work for the mankind. But, the poet has found out new ways to look at the plants and plantation. In his poem The Heart of the Tree he glorifies the act further, shows how a tree helps life on earth and says that it has a direct connection to a nation’s growth.

All the three stanzas of the poem The Heart of the Tree starts with a refrain with the poet asking what the man actually plants who plants a tree. Then he chooses to reply it by himself and shows what a tree means to the humankind and to the nature, thus proving how great that man is.

The rhythm is amazing. The rhyme scheme is ABABBCCAA for each stanza. This is a deviation from the celebrated Spenserian stanza, a nine line stanza with the scheme ABABBCBCC. Though the language is simple, careful wordings makes the poem more expressive and obviously musical and attractive

Answer 2

HENRY CUYLER BUNNER WAS AN AMERICAN NOVELIST, JOURNALIST AND POET WHO HAS WRITTEN FEELINGLY ABOUT THE BENEFITS OF PLANTING A TREE. HIS POEM DESCRIBES THE INNUMERABLE BENEFITS OF TREES AND THE SHADE AND SHELTER THEY BRING TO ALL LIFE. HE CLAIMS THAT PEOPLE WHO PLANT TREES PLAN A FUTURE, AND FOR PEOPLE THEY DO NOT KNOW. ON ANOTHER LEVEL, PLANTING A TREE IS A SYMBOLIC ACT OF GOODNESS- ONE FROM WHICH MANY OTHER ACTS OF GOODNESS WILL SPROUT.ALTHOUGH WRITTEN OVER A CENTURY AGO, THE POEM IS VERY RELEVANT IN AN AGE WHERE RAPID AND RECKLESS DEVELOPMENT AND URBANISATION ARE TAKING THEIR TOLL ON THE ENVIRONMENT.
