LEISURE

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)

TOLERANCE

Tolerance is a moralizing essay by E.M. Forster. It has been taken from his famous collection of essays Two Cheers for Democracy. It highlights the importance of tolerance in reconstruction of human society. Tolerance may appear to be a dull and boring passion, but it is no doubt the basis of a peaceful society.

Most people think the spiritual quality needed to rebuild civilisation is Love.  The writer disagrees with them and says that love is a personal and private passion. In the writer’s opinion tolerance should become the basis of human civilisation. Tolerance means putting up with people. Tolerance and only tolerance is needed for peaceful co-existence.

What is the solution? If you don’t like people, kill them or tolerate them? Killing is destruction, tolerance is construction. Hence, tolerance is the only basis on which a civilised society may be built. It is wanted in all fields of life, in all places and in all races. (157 words)
