Describe a Line that You Remember from a Poem or Song: IELTS EXAM

Introduction/ What is the Line?

I like reading poetry in my free time. I have acquired quite a few poetry collections from my parents in English as well as Telugu (my mother tongue). I clearly remember this line from a poem that goes, “Hope is the thing with feathers, That perches in the soul, and sings the tune without the words, and never stops- at all’’. These lines are from the first stanza of the poem titled Hope is the thing with feathers by Emily Dickenson.

Where do you Remember it From?

I was introduced to this poem in my childhood by my mother. She loves reading poetry and reading it out to us. I had lost my pet dog to a roadside accident and I couldn’t stop crying that day. My mother came to me telling me how my dog would be in a better place with God. She read me this poem to sleep and woke up the next morning feeling lighter.

Why is it Significant for You?

This poem is really important for me because it is one of the first poems that I could connect to. My parents are spiritual people and I could never understand their love for poetry before this. This poem helped me connect to the world of literature and my parents. I started reading more poems and spending more time with my parents. I also shared the poem with my friend and it helped me strengthen my bond with them during conflicting times.
