Friendship by H.D.Thoreau:-

Friendship is a fine philosophical poem that points out the importance of friendship in life. The entire poem deals with the bond between two friends. The poet conveys his feelings, emotions & sentiments regarding friendship in this poem. According to him,love & friendship are both on the same level & are synonyms to each other.
They are both equally important in a relationship. Love is the greatest force in the world.
"I think a while of love
And while i think
Love is to me a world."
Love is the base of every relationship. No feelings are superior to love in life.the poet feels love more lovely when he remains in the company of his friend.
The true love doesn't speak more but understand a lot. A man may love the truth & practice it.he may admire beauty but he cannot easily expresses the true love.the poet gives the example of two stronge Oaks which stand side by side.they face the winter's storm,wind & tide but they are both stronge by root which are in separable.
In his efforts to determine the limit of friendship Thoreau emerges himself in the ocean of friendship. There are no set rules to start friendship with someone. Friendship can take place between anyone man-man,men-woman,man & animal,birds,tress etc..
Love & friendship are the two sides of the same coin.no time or age can destroy true love as well as friendship.
In short friendship is an interesting poem to understand the meaning of friendship as well as significance.
Thank You.
