Question

How do the ‘trees in their autumn beauty, ‘dry woodland paths’, ‘October twilight’, ‘still sky’ connect to the poet’s own life?

Answer 1

The ‘trees in their autumn beauty, ‘dry woodland paths’, ‘October twilight’, ‘still sky’ all represent some sort of senility similar to that of the poets’. Autumn is the season in which the trees prepare to shed their leaves. The woodland remains dry and there is no new evolving life until the rains set in. Though the twilight is the most beautiful part of the day, it lasts for a very short period of time and leads into the darkness of night. The stillness of the sky is counted similar to the coldness of death. Everything associates with the poet’s old age and the setting in of sadness and lonely atmosphere.
