Patriotism Sir Walter Scott
notesblognepal.blogspot.com
The love, respect of one’s own country is patriotism. The person
who loves breadth’s for the country is patriotic. A person who concentrates all
in self can never have feeling of patriotism. A patriotic thinks of welfare of
his country. S/he feels proud to say his country name and live for the name and
fame of the country. He is not bought by the greed of wealth or by the self
fame also. notesblognepal.blogspot.com
Explanation of the poemnotesblognepal.blogspot.com
This poem has been composed by Sir Walter Scott. In this
poem the poet illustrates one of the heavenly qualities in human beings and the
quality of patriotism. He says that one should be patriotic and should have
deep love and respect for his motherland.notesblognepal.blogspot.com
He says that a man who has no
love for his motherland is like a dead person. It is difficult to believe that
a man spiritually so dead that he has no love for his native land after
travelling in foreign lands. But if such an unpatriotic person does exist, we
must take careful note of him and his career. We will find that he shall never
inspire poets to celebrate him in deathless or immortal song. He may be a man
of high rank, of noble family and may greed, but these great advantages or benefits
will not save him from oblivion. In spite of them all he will win no fame
during his lifetime and when he dies he will die in a double sense. First, his
body will return to dust from where it came, and secondly his name will be
forgotten. None will weep or feel sorry for him, none will honour and pay
homage to his departed soul. No poet will keep his name alive in the immortal
poetry.notesblognepal.blogspot.com
Summarynotesblognepal.blogspot.com
An unpatriotic person may collect
huge wealth, earn name and fame in a foreign country and become a powerful
person. But all these power and wealth ore of no value since there is nobody to
praise him. All his title is useless to him if he does not have the sense of
love and honour for his native land. He is most miserable person. Nobody will
be proud of him because he lives only for self and not for his native land. Such
person dies twice in his life and leads a very miserable and shameful life. No poet
will sing songs in his honour and keep his name alive in the golden pages of
immortal poetry.notesblognepal.blogspot.com
