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.
