Judging from the image in lines 1-2, how does milton view this occasion?
how soon hath time, the subtle thief of youth,
stol'n on his wing my three-and-twentieth year!
my hasting days fly on with full career,
but my late spring no bud or blossom shew'th.
perhaps my semblance might deceive the truth
that i to manhood am arriv'd so near;
and inward ripeness doth much less appear,
that some more timely-happy spirits endu'th.
yet be it less or more, or soon or slow,
it shall be still in strictest measure ev'n
to that same lot, however mean or high,
toward which time leads me, and the will of heav'n:
all is, if i have grace to use it so
as ever in my great task-master's eye.

This excerpt is from “the poet” by alfred, lord tennyson. the poem describes a poet's consciousness and perception. which three lines suggest the richness of a poet's thoughts? thus truth was multiplied on truth, [the world like one great garden show'd,] and thro' the wreaths of floating dark upcurl'd, rare sunrise flow'd. [and freedom rear'd in that august sunrise] her beautiful bold brow, when rites and forms before his burning eyes melted like snow. [there was no blood upon her maiden robes] sunn'd by those orient skies; but round about the circles of the globes of her keen eyes and in her raiment's hem was traced in flame wisdom, a name to shake [all evil dreams of power--a sacred name.] and when she spake, [her words did gather thunder as they ran,] and as the lightning to the thunder which follows it, riving the spirit of man, making earth wonder, so was their meaning to her words. no sword of wrath her right arm whirl'd, [ but one poor poet's scroll, and with 'his' word] she shook the world.
