Question

What is the relevance of Philip in the poem The Brook?​

Answer 1

In Tennyson's “The Brook,” the poem's refrain, “For men may come and men may go, / But I go on for ever” is repeated four times, as the speaker of the poem—the brook—emphasizes the central theme of the poem: that human life is fleeting, while the brook, as part of the larger tapestry of nature, will endure forever.
