Like human beings, brook also has different stages of life. Describe its various stages with suitable examples from the poem ‘The Brook’.
The brook goes through different stages of life as does a human being. In the way a child takes birth, the brook emerges from the haunts of coot and hem. Just like a child, the brook chatters and babbles. It is as energetic as a human being in the initial stages of its life. As human beings work to fulfil their aim in life, the brooks aim is to join the brimming river. Man faces a lot of challenges in life, likewise, the brook takes many twists and turns during its second course.
In the third course, the brook slows down and slips, slides, find steals by the lawns and grassy plots. In the same way, in old age, man becomes quiet and understanding.
