Solitude means to be in a isolation and has taken up a life of seclusion. We can say this could be for various reasons, as one may have been born this way, one may have lost care for the world’s troubles, or one may just want to have a quieter life.
Poem relates isolation with happiness, and to maintain this peace, one must not only remain out of the world, but also remain so secluded that others cannot pester with the world’s problems.
This poem has an overall happy, content, and peaceful, yet a bit hopeful, mood. In the first, third, and fourth stanzas, one can see the peaceful mood, and the hopeful mood can be seen in the fifth stanza.
In the first stanza narrator speakes about a simple man who only living in his land which is the land of his father. He breathed his native air on his own land. In the second stanza, his desires are further explained, as he wants to farm and live off his land, being completely self-sufficient and does not want to depend on others as he lives in a solitude.
In the third stanza there is importance of time and it states how this way of life is good because time has no meaning, one is healthy, has few worries, and lives quiet days. He considers this time as a good time with less problems where nothing is related with the time and one who lives healthy life. In the fourth stanza, recreation and innocence are revealed to be the results of this lifestyle.
In the fifth and final stanza, it is revealed that the narrator is the man in the poem, and he wishes to be left alone, unknown from the world.
This poem may also be relevant as is shows that happiness is not necessairly being well known. It has become commonplace in today’s society that in order to live a “truly successful” life, one must become famous in some way or another. However, this poem suggests that a happy, successful life can be achieved without becoming well-known.
Thank you...:)
