.why did the poet compares the goldfinch to an engine in the poem 'Laburnum Top' ?
  • 1 answers

The Goldfinch is being compared to engine. We know that a machine can work only with the presence of a fueled engine. The poet had earlier observed that the tree was silent. But when the goldfinch entered its thickness, it starts up. The tree is considered as a machine which starts working when the engine enters it.

 

    Another explanation is that the goldfinch is the engine and the baby birds are the machine. They were silent until their mother came. But when their mother came to them with food they started to make noises. In this case, the goldfinch is the engine, the baby birds the machine and the food is the fuel.
