The poem “From the Triumph of Time “ is all about the poet failure in his love. The Poem starts with the line

“time is with us and hands are free”

“time is with us and hands are free” Click To Tweet

Where the means that the hands are tied and is not being able to do anything to reach and to join his soul mate.

He laments his lost love and was wishing to continue his life without being in love again and was saying that he would never love again as in that poem he is claiming that

“it will grow not again, This fruit of my heart”

“it will grow not again, This fruit of my heart” Click To Tweet

This fruit here the poet is referring to the feelings of love will not grow in my heart and again. He is saying that if they had loved each other, nothing could have stopped their love.

Main themes from the poem are Time more precisely we can say that Cruelty of time, Love(eternal), death as sweet dreams.

The theme from that poem (Triumph of Time) is the time or cruelty of time on him. He is saying that time is being very cruel to me because for the first time has taken away my soul mate from me very far away. But now time is with me because I’m having all the memories of my soul mate, the precious moments I have in my memory. But as the time passes and time will continue its cruelty, all these pleasant memories will be taken away. He has realized that time has triumphed or the time has succeeded in dividing them. And has taken his soul mate.

Love is the other major theme here because the poet has loved his beloved very much and now in his poem, he is dreaming of that life with beloved, what if my love had loved me back? But soon he realizes that how time has eventually triumphed them apart. He was very sad about realizing that. Even though with the most sadness, he says that he will continue his life even though he may never fell again the same, in love.

The another theme from the poem is that death is like a sweet dreams. One can say how?

Although each one of us knows that death is very harsh and is mournful and can cause pain, disturbance in one’s life but according to the poet, death is compared with sleep, a peaceful sleep. The poet is saying that life will be wonderful if the feelings I had for my beloved would have been returned by her as well. Further in his poem, he is saying that even if death comes to both of us, we would be happy. He is saying that

, “I wish we were dead together today, / Lost sight of, hidden away out of sight … / How we should slumber, how we should sleep, / Far in the dark with the dreams and the dews!”

The poet is saying that even a death comes to us, it would be like a sweet dreams for us.

The poet is the poem “ from the Triumph of Time “ is talking imaginatively thoroughly in his poem. Firstly he is saying that time is with us now but soon it will be turned into cruelty because all the memories I had of my beloved will be taken away as the time passes. He is imagining his life with his beloved that what if the feelings I have is returned to me by my beloved. Life would be grateful. Even if the death comes to us and we die together, it will be a kind of sweet dream for us. Because things done together are better than doing alone even after death because the poet has only one goal which is to achieve her.
