Sonnet 29

Answer:

The poem “Sonnet 29” by George Santayana pertains to two ideas which are wealth and contentment in one’s life. People who gained countless riches and sees their wealth as a basis of happiness a person will have to attain in his lifetime, and a person who lives through his life not being bound by the idea of riches and believes that what he has is enough and will be enough.

  • What does the opening line of the poem mean?
  1. The opening line of the poem focuses on the persona questioning the person being pertained to as to why he must compare his stature to his position. With wealth that person sets a certain level of attaining happiness, yet the question the echoes to his being is “Is he content with his life?”
  2. A human being wouldn’t be able to keep both ends of the stick whether he is poor or he is rich, a visible line between those two is what makes people blinded with true happiness and freedom. Why must a person be only rich or only poor?
  • Who is being addressed by the poet?
  1. The poet may address it to people who are either wealthy or those who are proud of their being that they refuse to look at their true contentment in life. They can make other people question themselves, because they themselves don’t know of it.

  • Why does the poet consider the faiths of old his daily bread?
  1. The daily bread can mean two things, something that is provided everyday it can either be money or any material thing or it can mean as an experience that supplies his daily life. “Faiths of old his daily bread”, he uses the learning of people from the past or even his past as a learning to supply his daily life.

  • What makes the persona happy?
  1. The persona is happy because he knows what makes him completely happy; he is content with what he can achieve and what he has. His happiness isn’t bound by someone else’s, and with this feeling of sureness in life he wishes for others to also do so.

  • How do you view the persona’s circumstance?
  1. He is happily living every bit of his life, while wishing for others’ too.
