Theme

Leisure by William Davies is a thought provoking poem. The poem throws the light on the bleak condition of modern man. He has got so busy in his daily pursuits of life that he has no time to enjoy the beauty of nature. He has lost peace of mind and comfort of heart, despite the development of science and technology modern man has become artificial and mechanical.
