What do you think prompts the poet’s desire for a temporary escape in the poem, Birches? Why does he wish to come back to Earth? Write your answer in a short paragraph of about 100-150 words.
उत्तर
In Robert Frost's poem "Birches," the poet's yearning for brief escape is motivated by the weariness and regularity of daily existence. He finds comfort in the picture of swinging on birches, which signifies a brief escape from the world's difficulties into a state of youthful freedom and unburdened delight. The poet nostalgically recalls the pure delight of climbing and hanging on birch trees, utilising it as a metaphor for escaping the earth's gravitational pull—both literally and figuratively.
However, Frost recognises the significance of returning to reality and taking a balanced attitude to life's obstacles. He says he'd like to climb a birch tree "Towards heaven," but he eventually wants to return to earth because it's the best location for love. This demonstrates his grasp that, despite its difficulties, life contains significant relationships and experiences rooted in truth. The earth, for all of its flaws, is where human relationships thrive, and so, despite the appeal of escapism, he recognises the worth and necessity of returning to fully participate with life.
