Success
'Success' Summary
The poem begins with Brooke describing a young man who is driven by ambition and a desire for success. The young man works hard and achieves great things, but he is ultimately left feeling empty and unfulfilled. Brooke then contrasts the young man's experience with that of a simple peasant who lives a life of contentment and peace. Brooke suggests that true success is not about achieving great things, but about living a life that is true to oneself and finding joy in the simple things.Book Details
