Question

What does the poet compare butterfly with, in the first stanza of the poem ‘Ode

to a Butterfly’?​

Answer 1

Answer:

It is in the second stanza that he really begins to describe the moment between himself and the butterfly. He extends to this butterfly a permanent invitation to come as often as it pleases without fear of the death that most insects would face in a garden or orchard. It's the beautiful image and characteristic of butterfly wings that leave a positive connotation on our human brains. Had the butterfly been found as some ugly brown caterpillar chomping away as his strawberries, I doubt that William would be quite so poetic in dealing with what would then be considered a pest. It's the positive image and feeling the butterflies leave that completely charms us into loving them and forgetting that they started out as damaging pests in our gardens and planters. It's this positive image/idea/connection that William plays on in recollecting his childhood summers in Crumbia and making the audience make the same connection. It is this feeling of nostalgia connected to the butterfly that draws the audience in and leaves us smiling wish we could go back to those long days (it suddenly not seeming to be a bad thing anymore) where we did nothing by play, laugh, sing and hope we could beat our siblings to the swings outside-- surrounded by butterflies, sunshine and our dear first pets that have since become deceased.
