Growing Old 

Poem

 

Summery

'Becoming Old' is a piece brimming with questions, replies, and portrayals of what advanced age is really similar to. The poem starts with an underlying inquiry that is responded to by the consummation of the poem, "What is it to become old?" This question is developed and depicted in the accompanying verses. The first portrays the deficiency of actual excellence and the second about the deficiency of actual strength and feeling in appendages. The third refrain of the poem starts to talk on the assumptions one had about age during youth and how these assumptions are not satisfied. Advanced age is certainly not a warm nightfall, thinking back on one's existence with fondness isn't. As a matter of fact, caught in one's body as a jail, one feels as though they were rarely youthful. The poem closes by portraying how toward the finish of life one will come to loathe their own body, faulting their maturing jail for their deficiency of soul, strength, and feeling.
