Ans. The poet thinks that life has now become restless due to more population and desire of getting more and more. If a man controls his greed and wants, he must get a happy life. That’s why the poet wants to live unseen and unknown and die unlamented. Most of us don’t want so because we always try to get fame.
Q.14. What does the speaker mean by Together mixed sweet recreation. Can these things be mixed? Have you ever tried to do so ?
Ans. The speaker wants to say that work is essential for getting our goal. But more work makes a man tired. Recreation gives us fresh energy which once more makes us ready to work heartly. If both are mixed in a balanced way, the life of a man would be happy. So, I always do so; not only trying to do so.
