Question

explain the main idea of the poem," the progress of poesy".​

Answer 1

Answer:

There are two central ideas that Gray communicates in his poem “Progress of Poesy.” The first is that poetry is powerful, as evidenced by its presence in human communities across time and geography. Gray’s repeated references to ancients singing poetry and echoing from the rugged hills of Greece and Italy are evidence of this point. The second and most important central idea of Gray’s ode is that English poets owe a debt to the Ancient Greeks and Romans. Gray posits that English poetry is built on an ancient foundation and suggests that the Muses of Ancient Greece are still active in England.
