Explanation:
Explaination of Poem (Youth and age)
Coleridge in this poem, makes a contrast between youth and old age. For the young it is difficult to imagine old age and the sense of loss. Coleridge’s imaginative power captures not only the joy of youth but also the helplessness of old age. The poet imagines that he has become old. He looks back. He remembers that in his youth, he had all the blessings one can wish for. He was strong and active. He could climb a high peak as easily as he could run on a sandy beach. He had friends who stood by in him. His heart was full of love and joy and liberty.
He could write poetry and enjoy the company of nature. Life was an everlasting spring. All this is gone now. His body has become weak and old. His hair are silver white. The youth has gone. Then he wonders whether his youth has really departedor it has disguised itself in old age. He cannot reconcile to the fact that youth like spring does not last for ever. He consoles himself by saying that life is nothing but thought.
As long as he can think, and recollect his youth, he is young. Old age does not necessarily mean the loss of youth. It is the loss of hope and imagination that makes one old.
The poet remembers the time when he was young. He could look at life with hope and happiness. Now the old age has made his body weak. But he believes that life is lived in thought only. A person becomes old only when he loses hope. In these lines the poet praises the beauty of flowers. He says that love is as beautiful as flowers. Friendship is like a tree that gives shelter to everyone. The poet remembers the joys of Friendship, Love and Liberty which he had in abundance when he was young, and had not yet become old.
The poet remembers the time when he was young. He could look at life with hope and happiness. Now the old age has made his body weak. But he believes that life is lived in thought only. A person becomes old only when he loses hope. These lines describe old age. The poet says that the dew drops found in the morning are as beautiful as gems. But, in fact, these dew drops are the tears of old age that makes a person sad and sorrowful. However, old age makes a person sorrowful only when he has lost hope. A person who has hope always feels himself youthful, though his body may have grown weak and old.
