Why does Housman compare life to the blossoming of a cherry tree?

Paul [167]3 years ago

Housman compares life to the blossoming of a cherry tree because a person's life is much like a cherry tree.

A cherry tree blossoms like a young person. However, the blossoms do not last forever, much like life. Therefore, we have to enjoy the blossoms -- and our lives -- while we can. 

He says that if you only enjoy the cherry tree when it blossoms (in the spring) then you will not get a lot of time to enjoy it. That's why at the end of the poem he goes "to see the cherry hung with snow." He will enjoy the cherry tree all year round, instead of just once a year.

In the same way, we have to enjoy life all the time, not just some of the time.

What does Hamlet mean by "shuffled off this mortal coil"? dying living dreaming sleeping
Alina [70]

Answer:

A). Dying.

Explanation:

The phrase 'shuffled off this mortal coil' was uttered by Hamlet during his popular soliloquy 'To be or not to be.' It stands for 'dying or to die' as a result of the sufferings or troubles of this mortal life and this constant state of being in conflict. When Hamlet says this phrase, he is tired of the regular 'turmoils of his mortal life' and thus, he wishes to 'die.' Thus, <u>option A</u> is the correct answer.
