Answer» The very title of the poem suggests the intention of the poet. The poet wishes to argue that concepts like ‘heaven’, ‘god’, nymphs etc., are not tangible entities but are only figments of man’s imagination. On the other hand, all the imaginary comforts, pleasures, and bliss one believes to enjoy in heaven, can be got in reality on this earth. The poet presents a beautiful picture of the different forms of nature which make this earth a heaven. The poet claims that the roaring streams that tumble down fast from the top of the hills, the rolling surf at the edge of the waves that come rolling across oceans and seas, the tender rays of the sunbathing the vast green forests and the gentle sun warming up the earth make this earth a heaven. |
