1.
How
does Longfellow personify the wind in the poem , “Daybreak?”
Ans : In the poem “Daybreak” , Longfellow
imagines the wind to be a messenger of Nature. He personifies the wind
and gives it the human ability to speak and communicate verbally. Emerging from
the sea, it encounters the mists and the mariners. It asks the mists to
make room for its movement . It urges
the mariners to sail on. On distant
land, it impels the forest to hang out its leaves, the birds to sing, the chanticleer
to crow, the corn to bow and greet the
morning, and the belfry tower to ring its bell to proclaim the hour. But when
it blows across the churchyard, it sighs for the dead and asks them to lie
quietly . Like human beings, the wind uses different language and tone to wake
up different objects of Nature. Thus, the poet personifies the wind.
