Poem 2 - Solitude - by Alexander Pope (Sem IV)




“Ode on Solitude” is a poem written by Alexander Pope. In this poem, the Pope expresses his desire to lead a quiet and secluded life, with minimal assets.

The poet prefers to have just a few acres of land. He would not like to go anywhere out of his native region. He would like to breathe the air of his ancestral place. He wants to have a comfortable and self-sufficient life. He would get milk from the herds, food from the fields, wool for clothing from the sheep. He prefers to be under the shadow of trees during summer, and use the wood to make fire during the winter. All that required is good health, peace of mind and quietness.  He would spend his days in study and leisure, and live a life of innocence and thought.
The final note is that the poet would like to live an oblivious life, with no necessity to be mourned or missed once he passes away.

Poem 4 - Money Madness - by D. H. Lawrence (Sem IV)

The poet has admonished mankind entire mankind to change its perception and outlook about money. The poet begins expressing his annoyance by terming man’s attitude to money as ‘collective madness’. Each human being is ‘insane’ about money. He says man is so greedy and insecure about money that he shudders spending even a pound note. He trembles when he has to spend a ten-pound note. He feels money makes us quail. Man is judged by the amount of money he has. People who have more money, are respected more in society. Those who have less money, they are discriminated against. They are loathed by people, society, and the government. In order to save ourselves from being discriminated and live respectfully, we must have enough money with us. The poet’s wish about money is that bread, shelter, and fire should be free for all in all parts of the world. In the last stanza, he appeals to all men and women that we must become sane about handling money. If continue to be insa...
