what does the poet say about his past present and future (in the poem rainbow written by William Wordsworth)
Answers
Answer:
"My Heart Leaps Up" is a short lyric poem by the poet William Wordsworth. It was written on March 26, 1802 (while Wordsworth was living at Dove Cottage in the scenic Lake District of northern England, according to the diary his sister Dorothy kept of their day-to-day lives), and later published in 1807 as part of Wordsworth's Poems, in Two Volumes. Like many of his poems from this period, "My Heart Leaps Up" was inspired by nature, as the speakers describes the feeling of joy upon seeing a simple rainbow. The poem also appreciates the importance of carrying child-like enthusiasm and wonder throughout life, an idea that Wordsworth returns throughout much of his work.
Answer:
Whenever he looks at the rainbow, his innocent and enchanting childhood comes back to his memory and he feels revived. The seventh line shows the central idea of the poem: "The Child is father of the Man." The present is the outcome of the past, so naturally the future will be the outcome of the present.
