Question

what does the poet mean by ‘unborn eyes’? from the heart of the tree poem ​

Answer 1

Answer:

The joy that unborn eyes shall see — In the above line, 'unborn eyes' means our future generations, the ones who have not yet been born. 'Eyes' here means the child, a part of body representing the whole. Thus it can also be classified as a synecdoche, a class of metonymy.
