William Davis is a famous for the simplicity, clarity and
sincerity of his poems. ‘Leisure’ is a simple but forceful poem
in which he advises us not to fall a prey to hurry and haste. He
feels sorry at the miserable plight of the modern man. The poet
says that modern man has become the slave of Time. He remains
busy in gathering wealth and making progress from morning till
late at night. He has no time to rest. He can not enjoy himself
of the beauties of nature. The tragedy of modern man does not
end here. He has a lot many things to worry about. He lives
under constant stress and strain. We have become machines by
reaming in the company of machines. We are unable to spare some
moments of leisure to refresh our minds by standing among the
hills and trees. In the poet’s opinion, our slavery to Time is
the greatest curse of the modern age. He also advises us how to
make use of our leisure. (172 words) want to donwload in PDF or
