The poem It's Not Growing Like a Tree" by Ben Jonson the poet is cautioning the reader against the belief that longevity or "bulk" is all about having a virtuous life. Rather, the poet says that we should value quality over quantity.
Explanation:
- The poem deals with perfect life.The perfect life doesn't imply a long age like a thick oak tree; the fundamental element of this poem is that many beautiful and perfect sights, moments, experiences and memories are present in life, but they are quite short-lived.
- The rest of the time, life is quite dull and drab; however, during down-time, we must draw on the moments of beauty and perfection. Just one day, a lily flower blooms, so it's full of charm. Life would therefore be beautiful and balanced even having a shorter amount of time. Greatness is not increasing in size but in elegance and activeness. An individual's perfect life is often deserving of praise. Virtues and excellence are also praised. He ends with the notion that "everything can be good in small measures," suggesting that life is great in short periods that always disappear and die.
- He contrasts our lives with their temporary (short) perfect moments to a tree which beautiful and perfect for the duration of its life. Man is not made better, by "growing like a tree." It does not signify an achievement for us to exist "in bulk," or in longevity. Some things that is transitory and brief may leave a far more and ever lasting impression upon us, than something that exists for centuries without accomplishing anything remarkable. It is the quality of a life which is important, not its quantity
