Presentation:
• The
poetess addresses the river and calls it little. The river is sparkling and
dancing as it flows over the yellow pebbles. The river passes through the
flowers and foliage and is compared to a child that is playing. This implies
that the river is joyful and lively like a child who plays.
• The
river is now bigger and less gentle as it brawls and leaps through smooth and
rough surfaces. The second stanza illustrates the river to be acting as an
impetuous youth, who is driven by zest and acts without much thought. The
growth in age becomes clear in this stanza.
• The
river appears to be brimming, which is a resemblance to a person maturing and
someone who has reached their full potential. This person is wise and calm.
“Seeming still, yet still in motion”,
implies that although it may appear still, the river is moving towards the
ocean, its destination, just like a person working in silence to achieve their
goal.
• The
poem concludes with the river dashing into the sea, head first. The last stanza
is basically when the river meets the ocean and man enters a stage that has
never been explored before, eternity. This probably means that man has gained
immortality and is now in a spiritual space.
