شاعری کا تجزیہ

Mary Oliver's 'The Journey' is a powerful poem about self-discovery and personal transformation. It describes a moment of clarity when the speaker realizes what they must do to move forward in life. Despite the negative influences and pressures from others, symbolized by the 'voices' and the trembling house, the speaker remains resolute. The 'old tug at your ankles' represents past habits or fears trying to hold them back. The repeated cries of 'Mend my life!' from the voices indicate external demands and expectations. However, the speaker's determination to follow their own path is unwavering, even as the 'wind pried,' symbolizing external challenges or resistance. The poem captures the essence of inner strength and the courage to pursue one's true calling, despite obstacles.
