Answers
Pen is more powerful than time and sword indeed. The poet through his pen immortalized his friend by preserving the memory of his good deeds in the poem, 'Not Marbles, Nor the Gilded Monuments'; this memory of his friend's good deeds will be handed down from one generation to another till the end of times. Neither time, nor sword will be able to obliterate this memory. So in this sense, pen is mightier than time and sword.
Pen is more powerful than time and sword indeed.
The poet in the poem ”Not Marble Nor Glided Monuments” immortalized his friend using his pen by penning down the memories of his generosity, love and kindness.
According to the poet, it is through those memories, that the future generations will be able to know him and his deeds which would not be erased by either a sword or time itself.
So it is rightly said that the pen is mightier than time and sword.
