THE LAKE ISLE
OF INNISFREE
1. What kind
of place is
Innisfree ? think about :
(i)
The three
things the poet
wants to do
when he goes
back there ( stanza –I)
(ii)
What he
hears and sees
there and its
effect on him (
stanza –II)
(iii)
What he
hears in his “ heart’s
core” even when
he is far
away from Innisfree ( stanza –III)
Ans : 1.
Innisfree is an
islet. Nature is
beautiful, alive and full
of life here.
(i)
(a) the
poet will make
a small cabin
with clay and
wattles.
(b) He
will plant nine
rows of bean.
(c) He
will also have
a beehive there .
2. By now you may have concluded that Innisfree is a simple , natural place full of beauty and peace. How does the poet contrast it with where he now stands ?
Ans :
Innisfree is a
beautiful place with
natural beauty . there
is peace there .
so it is
the place of
the heart’s desire
of the poet .
but the poet
is on the
road now . the
pavement is grey
and lifeless. While
Innisfree is full
of life.
3.Do you think Innisfree is only a place , or a state of mind ? does the poet actually miss the place of his boyhood days ?
Ans :
In fact, Innisfree
is a place
with beauty and
peace. But it is
not merely a
place of his
boyhood days . so
he echoes the
saying in the
Bible ‘I will
arise and go
now and go
to my father’
