2. Answer the following questions in 80-100 words each.

 

a. How does the poet use the imagery of laughter and cheerful choruses among the flowers, and what does it signify in the context of the poem? 

A.The poet uses the imagery of laughter and cheerful choruses among the flowers to personify nature and imbue it with human-like joy and vitality. The "chorus came / Of laughter sweet and low" from "millions of flowers" signifies the exuberant awakening of nature in spring. This imagery suggests a collective celebration and a sense of new life bursting forth after a period of dormancy. It highlights the positive and vibrant energy associated with the arrival of spring, where even the smallest elements of nature participate in this joyful symphony.

 

b. What do the various promises made by different flowers indicate about their individual characteristics, and how does this contribute to the overall theme of the poem?

A .2The promises made by different flowers, such as the Hyacinth bells ringing and the Violet murmuring "I'm here," indicate their individual characteristics and readiness for spring. The Hyacinth's promise to "ring" suggests its prominent and perhaps more audible presence, while the Violet's quiet "I'm here" implies a gentle, subtle emergence. This diversity in their responses contributes to the overall theme of the poem by showcasing the varied ways in which nature awakens and expresses itself during springtime. It emphasizes the collective harmony formed by these individual expressions, highlighting the beauty and richness of the natural world as it comes alive with distinct personalities and contributions.
