Is second childishness and mere oblivion |
|
Answer» Reference: These lines are from the poem, ‘All the world’s a stage’ written by William Shakespeare. Context: The poet says this while man gets ready to leave this world (i.e.) the last stage of his life on this lonely planet. Explanation: In this stage, man becomes totally forgetful. He loses his teeth, eyesight and taste. He loses all his senses of perception. Like a baby, he can’t do anything on his own. So, the poet calls this stage “second childhood” when the old man behaves in a childish manner. |
