Ode on Solitude
- Alexander Pope
“Ode on Solitude” is
a poem written by Alexander Pope. In this poem, 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 a 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.
