Question

In the poem "When you are old" what does the phrase "full of sleep" suggest?​

Answer 1

Answer:

The expression “full of sleep” proposes exhaustion, peace and her vicinity to death. As she will read this book, she will remember the “soft look” and “the deep shadows” that her eyes had once had. ... The words “sleep”, “slowly”, “soft”, “shadows” recommends a feeling of daze and stupor.
