    Appreciation of the poem
    (whatever is underlined in the appreciation should be
    underlined while writing in your notebook too)
    The poem Past, Present, Future composed by Emily Bronte is
    a dialogue between poetess and a happy child, where the child
    is comparing his life to 3 seasons namely Autumn, Spring and
    Summer. The rhyme scheme of the poem is abab. There are
    many figures of speech in the poem such as Repetition,
    Interrogation, Metaphor and Personification. But the figure of
    speech that appeals to me is Personification in the line, ‘A
    mighty, glorious, dazzling sea stretching into infinity.’ Here, a
    sea is given the human quality of being mighty, glorious and
    dazzling.
    The central idea of the poem is about time and different stages
    of life compared to different seasons. According to the child the
    past was a pleasant time which has ended and cannot be
    revisited again. He has compared his past life to Autumn
    season. The present is a time full of life in which we can gather
    strength. It is the time to gain new experiences and explore the
    world. He has compared his present life to Spring season. The
    future is an exciting, thrilling time which has no end. It is that
    time of the life which is limitless with endless opportunities. He
    has compared his future life to Summer season.
    EXTRA QUESTIONS
    (students are expected to write their own answers after careful
    listening of the audio presentation.A personal response is
    welcome.)
    1) Why is the child comparing his present time to the young
    bird?
    2) Why do you think the Autumn is compared to his past time?
    3) Why does the child want his future to be like a sea?
    4) Which time of your life do you like the most? Justify your
    answer.
