In the poem ‘On Killing a Tree’ Gieve? Patel says that a woodcutter may cut a tree with s his repeated blow. But this alone will not be? able to kill a tree. The affected tree does not s seem to express its pain because its bleeding bark will heal its pain all the time.
‘Curled green twigs’ of the tree closely attached to earth will? grow from the miniature boughs. The strength of the tree lies in the roots. If these roots are ! not completely uprooted, they will expand and become a full-grown tree again. ?
