Solitude
Solitude - meaning Summary
Solace in Chosen Retreat
The poem praises a deliberately chosen solitude as a blessed state. The speaker values distance from ignorant, boring, or intrusive people and finds fulfillment in private work, memory, and dreams. Companionship arrives naturally rather than by obligation, and the solitary figure shelters himself under spiritual protection. Overall it presents solitude not as loneliness but as a protected, productive retreat where inner life and authentic friendships flourish away from social noise.
Read Complete AnalysesHe's blessed, who lives in peace, that's distant From the ignorant fobs with calls, Who can provide his every instance With dreams, or labors, or recalls; To whom the fate sends friends in score, Who hides himself by Savior's back From bashful fools, which lull and bore, And from the impudent ones, which wake. Translated by Yevgeny Bonver
