Question

What happens when the poet listens to the patter of the rain? How does it help him to recollect his memories?

Answer 1

Answer:

Every raindrop on the tiles of the roof creates a rhythm with the poet's heartbeat. The poet tries to focus on listening to the pitter-patter on the roof whereas his mind weaves the recollections of fond memories of yester years.  It serves as a powerful narrative tool in the poet's life. It triggers 'a thousand dreamy fancies' in his mind and thousands of memories come alive. In particular, the memory of the poet's mother putting her children to sleep at night is indelible in his mind. Every time it rains, the poet relives the golden moments of his childhood .
