  • As given in the poem "On Killing A Tree", a "simple jab of the knife" cannot kill a tree.
  • This is because the tree has grown into maturity over a long period of time, nurtured and nourished by the natural elements like sunlight, air, water and the rich nutrients.
  • The tree is held securely with the help of the roots in the earth.
  • So new green leaves still sprout from the discoloured, rough and scaly bark and the tree regains its natural glory.
  • The tree can only be killed when it is uprooted.

Hope you could understand.

If you have any query, feel free to ask.
