St. 4
“
Sweet Love of youth, forgive, if I forget thee,
While the world's tide is bearing me along;
Other desires and other hopes beset me,
Hopes which obscure, but cannot do thee wrong!
— Emily Brontë
What It Means
This is a placeholder explanation generated by the low-overhead model. It interprets "Sweet Love of youth, forgive, if I forget thee,
While the world's tide is bearing me along;
Other desires and other hopes beset me,
Hopes which obscure, but cannot do thee wrong!" in the context of "St. 4" to mean that wisdom is timeless.
