SUMMARY
POETIC DEVICES
Alfred, Lord Tennyson was born
on August 5, 1809 in Somersby,
Lincolnshire. He began to write
poetry at an early age in the
style of Lord Byron. After
spending four years in school he
was tutored at home. Tennyson
then studied at Trinity College,
Cambridge, where he joined the
literary club 'The Apostles' and
met Arthur Hallam, who became
his closest friend. Tennyson
published Poems, Chiefly Lyrical,
in 1830.INDEX
His book, “Poems “(1833), received
unfavorable reviews, and Tennyson ceased to
publish for nearly ten years. Hallam died
suddenly on the same year which was a heavy
blow to Tennyson. He began to write "In
Memoriam", an elegy for his lost friend - the
work took seventeen years. "The Lady of
Shalott", "The Lotus-eaters" ,"Morte d'Arthur"
and "Ulysses" appeared in 1842 in the two-
volume Poems and established his reputation
as a writer. After marrying Emily Sellwood, the
couple settled in Farringford in 1853. From
there the family moved in 1869 to Aldworth,
Surrey. During these later years he produced
some of his best poems Tennyson died at
Aldwort on October 6, 1892 and was buried in
the Poets' Corner in Westminster Abbey. INDEX

INDEX
INDEX
I come from haunts
of coot and hern,
I make a sudden
sally
And sparkle out
among the fern,
To bicker down a
valley.INDEX
By thirty hills I
hurry down,
Or slip between the
ridges,
By twenty thorpes, a
little town,
And half a hundred
bridges.INDEX
Till last by Philip's
farm I flow
To join the brimming
river,
For men may come
and men may go,
But I go on for ever.INDEX
I chatter over stony
ways,
In little sharps and
trebles,
I bubble into eddying
bays,
I babble on the pebbles.
INDEX
With many a curve my banks I fret
By many a field and fallow,
And many a fairy foreland set
With willow-weed and mallow.
INDEX
I chatter, chatter, as
I flow
To join the brimming
river,
For men may come
and men may go,
But I go on for ever.
INDEX
I wind about, and in
and out,
With here a blossom
sailing,
And here and there a
lusty trout,
And here and there a
grayling, INDEX
And here and there a
foamy flake
Upon me, as I travel
With many a silvery
waterbreak
Above the golden
gravel,
INDEX
And draw them all
along, and flow
To join the brimming
river
For men may come
and men may go,
But I go on for ever.
INDEX
I steal by lawns and
grassy plots,
I slide by hazel
covers;
I move the sweet
forget-me-nots
That grow for happy
lovers.INDEX
I slip, I slide, I gloom, I glance,
Among my skimming swallows;
I make the netted sunbeam dance
Against my sandy shallows.
INDEX
I murmur under moon
and stars
In brambly
wildernesses;
I linger by my
shingly bars;
I loiter round my
cresses;INDEX
And out again I curve and flow
To join the brimming river,
For men may come and men may go,
But I go on for ever.
INDEX
In this poem, the brook refers itself to a living being. This is called personification. The word 'I' explains it. The brook suddenly emerges from a
place frequently visited by coots and herons. It falls down a valley making a quarrelling noise. The poet
uses numerical references like 'thirty hills', 'twenty thorpes' and ' half hundred bridges'. The brook joins the brimming river at Philip's farm. The line 'For men may come and men may go, but I go on
forever' explains the brook is immortal Also this line is a refrain. The brook makes a chattering noise as it passes over stony ways and in little sharps and
trebles it bubbles into eddying bays.
INDEX
The brook's bank passes through many curves and fields along plants. The river keeps chattering in order to meet the brimming river. It carries many things like blossoms, lusty trout, grayling, foamy
flakes, forget me not etc. The brooks gently crosses the lawn and grassy plots and slides by
hazel covers. It moves by the sweet forget me not that grow for happy lovers.The river does many actions. It slips, slides, glooms,and glances. The
swallows skim through the top of the brook and the water makes the sunbeam dance by acting as nets against it's sandy shallows. While passing through thorny bushes, the brooks murmurs it loiters round the cresses. And finally the brook curves to flow
into the brimming river.
