Question

Explain the poem of eagerly i wished the morrow; vainly i had sought to borrow from my books surcease of sorrow sorrow for the lost lenore

Answer 1

Answer:

Here the words "vainly" and "surcease".

• vainly means to do something without success, and
• surcease means stops.

Now lets connect the meaning of these two words with the poem. Here the speaker is in deep sorrow. The poet wants to distract from the sorrow, so he/she tries to indulge into books which can put an end to the sorrow.
