In "Loveliest of Trees, the Cherry Now" by A. E. Housman, what could be a symbol for something that goes away much too quickly?

Respuesta :

Here is "Loveliest of Trees, The Cherry Now" by A.E. Housman.
LOVELIEST of trees, the cherry now
Is hung with bloom along the bough,And stands about the woodland ride
Wearing white for Eastertide. Now, of my threescore years and ten,        
Twenty will not come again,
And take from seventy springs a score,
It only leaves me fifty more. And since to look at things in bloom
Fifty springs are little room,        
About the woodlands I will go
To see the cherry hung with snow.
Based on the given poem above, the symbol for something that goes away too much quickly is years. It would be option D.  hope its help ^^

maybe the season. I never read the book but judging by the title and reading a summary, i would go with the leaves on the tree. it represents quick change.
