Question

1. Who are world-losers and world-forsakers in the poem? What do you understand by
these phrases?​

Answer 1

Answer:

Certain poems, in their infamy, have been disseminated into public consciousness and the fabric of pop culture – poems such as, for example, Dante’s La Divina Commedia, William Shakespeare’s Sonnet 130, and Arthur O’Shaughnessy’s Ode. Ode was written in published in 1873, and it has nine full stanzas, though it is the first three which are the most commonly quoted, so it is the first three stanzas that this analysis will focus on. Perhaps due to Ode‘s pop culture leanings, there is very little analysis written on Arthur O’Shaughnessy’s magnum opus.

Answer 2

Answer:

World-losers are the ones from whom we learn to correct ourselves because they make mistakes from which we learn whereas the world-foresakers are the ones who give up something valuable and make an example out of themselves.

The similarities between these two are that they teach us and the differences between them are that the world-losers teach us by their mistakes and the world-foresakers teach us with their good work.

This is a phrase taken from the poem 'We are the music makers'
