Give examples of personification in the poem "Our Casuarina Tree" by Toru Tutt.

is giving
human qualities to inanimate objects or plants and other animals. In the first stanza, the tree
wears the scarf. The scarf is the vine that is growing up the tree
like a python in the trees old age. The song sung darkling from our tree might be the wind
rustling through the branches and/or the leaves. Trees dont €˜sing. This is personification.
Other examples of the personification of the tree are €˜the trees lament and its €˜eerie speech,
which could just be the speakers manifestation of the trees pining it its old age or it could be
the wind in the leaves or the creaking of an old branch.

Another example is
the waves kissing the shore. Dutt personifies the tree because it represents the nostalgic link
to her past and by willing the immortality of the tree in the last stanza, she is also willing
the immortality of her memories, which includes she and presumably her departed loved
ones.
