Question

Yet have i killed who is I? What does ‘seed’ and ‘land’ stand for?Why do they talk like strangers?

Answer 1

These lines from the poem ‘Father to Son by Elizabeth

Jennings means the father tried to sow the seeds of love in his son’s heart but

since the heart belongs to his son, it was up to him whether to nurture those

seeds into plants of love or dig them out and throw them without bearing any

fruit. The father complains his son did not bother to tend those seeds of

love.
