  31. “No Gold can Stay Forever” is my favorite part of the poem, because it makes me think about the fact that nothing last forever in life, everything is a cycle, where basically something started but must end in order to overcome and make a way for more things.

    The part i didn't understand was “So Eden sank to grief”

    Why is her hue hard to hold?

    Everything in life is a process where you must change, you overcome things, you learn from your mistakes, you grow up mentally and physically, a child becomes a man and and that is what happens to all humans, even with nature.
