Detailed explanation-1: -“Wisdom with an inheritance is good, but wisdom without an inheritance is better than an inheritance without wisdom.”
Detailed explanation-2: -As a Puritan she struggled to subdue her attachment to the world, but as a woman she sometimes felt more strongly connected to her husband, children, and community than to God.
Detailed explanation-3: -Throughout her life, Bradstreet was torn away from the places and people she loved the most. Despite wanting to blame God for these separations, she reluctantly convinced herself that it was His will.
Detailed explanation-4: -The central idea of the ‘As Weary Pilgrim Now at Rest’ by Anne Bradstreet’s is death and solace. In the poem, she has mentioned about death and a person who is longing to be with their loved ones who are not there anymore. And then, at last, God is with men and giving them solace as they will always be his.
