It means there is no one there to share my joy with, when I'm proud of what I've done, no one that will listen without getting bored or thinking I'm just bragging; no one to hold me when I cry.

what is the theme/ central message of htis poem? I PLAY’D with you ’mid cowslips blowing, When I was six and you were four; When garlands weaving, flower-balls throwing, Were pleasures soon to please no more. Through groves and meads, o’er grass and heather, With little playmates, to and fro, We wander’d hand in hand together; But that was sixty years ago. You grew a lovely roseate maiden, And still our early love was strong; Still with no care our days were laden, They glided joyously along; And I did love you very dearly, How dearly words ...

He married someone else and found happiness and contentment in his family -- wife, children and grandchildren. And he bears his first love no regrets. Whatta guy!...(Answered by pat z)

Aha! You're studying the poem "Growing Old" by Matthew Arnold. What a great poem! I'll answer your questions in terms of how they are used in the poem: 1. The line is actually "to lose the glory of FORM" and it is talking about getting older and our bodies starting to sag and lose the freshness of it's youthful shape. 2. Is it for beauty to forego her wreath? Can beauty easily give up the crown that symbolizes her youth? 3. Sunset glow in this poem is referring to a fuzzy image of aging that did ...(Answered by kmatty)

Hi Mandi, Your quote is a truncated version of the 54th stanza of the third canto of Lord Byron's long narrative poem Childe Harold's Pilgrimage, written in the early 19th century. You'd like it because although it's very old it has quite a modern theme as it describes the travels and thoughts of quite disillusioned young man who seeks some real meaning, and distractions, abroad. While nowadays we might be disillusioned by the Iraq war and worried about global warming, in those days Byron's generation in Britain was world weary after the post-Revolutionary and Napoleonic wars. Childe, was a term for a ...(Answered by Aurelius)
