I. "They are so placid and
self-contain'd
- Why does the poet say animals so placid and
self-contained "?​

Answer 1

Ans: Animals are placid and self-contained. They worry neither about their condition nor about their sins. They are not dissatisfied, respectable, unhappy or demented with the mania of owning things. ... Ans: The poet is mesmerised with the animals' qualities such as placidity, self-dependence, complacence and simplicity.

Answer 2

The poet says that he finds animals more peaceful than humans. He says so because animals are not running after worldly things like human beings. They are calm and have no greed for worldly things or any kind of achievements. They are self contained means they are happy with life and never interfere in the lives of others. Humans have the habit of interfering in the lives of others. So, poet thinks that animals are better than humans for being calm and not interfering in the matters of others.
