  • 22英2王菁 4天前

    Henry Wadsworth Longfellow’s A Psalm of Life is a rallying cry against pessimism, framing life as a dynamic, purpose-driven journey rather than a meaningless prelude to death.

    At its core, the poem rejects the idea that life is "an empty dream" or a mere transition to the afterlife—instead, it urges readers to seize the present ("Act,—act in the living Present!"), embrace struggle as a source of growth, and leave a lasting, positive legacy ("Footprints on the sands of time"). It champions resilience, ambition, and moral courage, emphasizing that true fulfillment comes from active engagement with life, not passive resignation.

    The tone is hopeful and stirring, using vivid metaphors (like life as a "battlefield" or "ship on the sea") to reinforce its message of perseverance. It’s a timeless ode to human agency, reminding us that we shape our own lives through action and integrity.
