Answers
Answer:
Explanation:
Say not the Struggle nought Availeth by Arthur Hugh Clough is a beautiful inspirational poem.
In the first stanza the poet says that all struggles bear fruit; all the labor done and all the wounds received in fighting the enemy succeed in defeating the enemy. And all things change with determined struggle.
In the second stanza the poet appeals the readers to believe in hope and ignore ears as they are liars; the poet says that in the battle field of life which is hazy with smoke, in that smoke, hidden from the eye, our comrades might be fighting for us, so keep on fighting your enemies.
In the third stanza, the poet says we should fight like the sea waves that initially appear to be striking against the rocky coast vainly, but through their perseverance they succeed in flooding the land.
In the last stanza, the poet says that it is not only through the eastern window the light comes in; the west is also full of light when the sun rises slowly.
