Question

Why does d poet use poetically uncommon bird and tree in d dust of snow poem ? What does it reflect?

Answer 1

Answer:

The poet uses uncommon bird and tree in the poem because it creates a good effect. This reflects the positivity created by negative things i.e., the black crow is a sign of sorrow or death and hemlock tree is a poisonous tree.

Answer 2

Answer:

The poet seems to be in a depressive and sorrowful mood. In such a mood, one cannot think of a sweet and beautiful side of nature. The harsh, bitter and poisonous images come to his mind. That is why he uses an uncommon, harsh, ugly crow and poisonous tree like hemlock.
