Likewise, knowing the details of childhood may explain to us why a poet frequently uses one image over another. There is no doubt that a person's childhood is the repository full of secrets and mysteries, and it is the world crowded with symbols and images engraved in the memory, and the poet, as a person sensitive to feelings and feelings, involuntarily withdraws towards the world of his childhood
And there is a fact that says that in childhood lies the sources of poetic talent, and knowledge of the secrets of childhood may explain to us why the writer frequently uses a literary image over others, and chooses a poetic sense and prefers it over another. Choosing poetic images over others is not a spontaneous act, but the writer empties into his verses what he found in his mind of experiences and impressions, often from childhood. In order to know the personality of the writer, it is necessary to go back to the roots of childhood, its sources, his upbringing, the events and memories it contained, and the positive or negative impact of these events and memories on his personality, which in turn was reflected in their literary productions.
