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

English

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.

He talks about how her lips are not very red and how they are far from coral. He says her eyes are not like the sun which means that she doesn't have beautiful eyes.

Finally in a reference to how beautiful people walk as though they float, he talks about how his lover does not have this quality but instead walks on the ground.
