The first stanza urges us not to try and operatepain stanza two tells us what to do instead - embrace the evanescentbeauty and joy of the nature and human experience, which contain painand death. Stanza three makes clear that in order to experience joy wemust experience the sorrow that beauty dies and joy evaporates. Theto a greater extent intensely we tactile property happiness, the more subject we are tomelancholy.The poets passionate outcry not to reject melancholy is presentednegatively no, not, neither, nor.
