Read the excerpt from "Shakespeare's Sister and answer the question
Next I think that you may object that in all this I have made too much of the importance of material things.
Even allowing a generous margin for symbolism, that five hundred a year stands for the power to
contemplate, that a lock on the door means the power to think for oneself, still you may say that the mind

poet. Sir Arthur Quiller-Coach writes: "The poor poet has not in these days, nor has had for two hundred
years, a dog's chance...a poor child in England has little more hope than had the son of an Athenian slave
to be emancipated into that intellectual freedom of which great writings are born." That is it. Intellectual
freedom depends upon material things. Poetry depends upon intellectual freedom.

Read the passage. when i consider how my light is spent ere half my days, in this dark world and wide, and that one talent which is death to hide, lodged with me useless, though my soul more bent to serve therewith my maker, and present my true account, lest he returning chide; “doth god exact day labor, light denied? ” in line 7 of sonnet xix by john milton, the speaker asks, “doth god exact day labor, light denied? ” what does his question mean? why must god make us suffer to work? what shall one charge god to work in the dark? how does god expect him to work when he is blind? is god trying me?
