What are compared to “bare ruined choirs”? What does it mean ? |
|
Answer» “Bare ruined choirs” is compared to the sounds of ‘sweet birds’. During the spring and summer seasons the birds make their nests on the Lush green trees full of leaves. They sit on its branches and sing sweetly. These songs of the birds are similar to the choirs in the church. As winter approaches the trees start shedding leaves and the birds fly away to warm places. The birds have abandoned the tree similar to the ‘Choir’ of a ruined church. The poet wants his friend to visualize these images and compare them with his approaching old age which compare to the bare trees and a ruined church. |
