central idea of the poem patriotism ? within 150 words

Answer 1

Hey mate,

Here Is your answer


In the poem 'Patriotism' by Sir Walter Scott, the poet talks about spiritual ideas, such as that of the soul, in terms of how far a person can call himself a true patriot. Being a Scot, and particularly a Borders Scot, the poet has firm ideas of his own as to what these qualities are. To be a true patriot a man must recognise the land of his birth as being his - in common with his compatriots. he must not only recognise the land he was born on, but love it too. He must feel homesick when away from his motherland and excited and enthusiastic,impatient even, on the thought of his return there. He must be stirred and his heart must swell at his native song and music. He must be a man who looks beyond himself and his own needs and desires towards the needs of his country and compatriots. Any native,Scott says, who does not have these feelings and commitments is not truly alive,has no soul and will die unremembered and unmissed.
