ODE ON SOLITUDE Happy the man, whose wish and care A few paternal acres bound, Content to breathe his native air, In his own ground. Whose herds with milk, whose fields with bread, Whose flocks supply him with attire, Whose trees in summer yield him shade, In winter fire. Blest! who can unconcern'dly find Hours, days, and years slide soft away, In health of body, peace of mind, Quiet by day, Sound sleep by night; study and ease Together mix'd; sweet recreation, And innocence, which most doth please, With meditation. Thus let me live, unseen, unknown; Thus unlamented let me dye; Steal from the world, and not a stone Tell where I lye Alexander Pope

39 CONSIDERATION Is the regional vocabulary used as a «style» to «mean» something (e.g. Nationalism; reminder of the past) or does it arise from the immediate contextural concerns? What is the difference between the «authentic thing» and its «representation»?
