Answer 1

Explanation:

The speaker of the poem says so because he has experienced that 'something' is there that causes the cold ground under the wall to swell and burst. ... According to the speaker, the nature breaks the wall because it does not like it to stay there.Something there is that doesn't love a wall, That sends the frozen-ground-swell under it, And spills the upper boulders in the sun; And makes gaps even two can pass abreastA widely accepted theme of "The Mending Wall" concerns the self-imposed barriers that prevent human interaction. In the poem, the speaker's neighbor keeps pointlessly rebuilding a wall; more than benefitting anyone, the fence is harmful to their land. But the neighbor is relentless in its maintenance, nonethelessThe ground bursts in a way that the boulders come spitting out from within to the outside automatically. This 'something' is the unseen force of nature. According to the speaker, the nature breaks the wall because it does not like it to stay there.
