Ray Bradbury's 'The Illustrated Man' is a collection of short stories. Among them, the two stories that depict pessimism are the 'Kaleidoscope' and 'The Highway'. In Kaleidoscope, the space ship malfunctions so it drifts aimlessly in space. The astronauts think about their past and they realized that they didn't do anything worthwhile in their life. In 'The Highway', a couple saves refugees telling them that the nuclear war is going to end the world.

Hello. You forgot to put the text related to that question. It is important that you always provide all the information necessary for your question to be answered.

The text is:

"And trouble deaf heaven with my bootless cries

Wishing me like to one more rich in hope,

With what I most enjoy contented least;

For thy sweet love remember'd such wealth brings

all alone beweep my outcast state

When, in disgrace with fortune and men's eyes,

I all alone beweep my outcast state

And trouble deaf heaven with my bootless cries

And look upon myself and curse my fate,

5 Wishing me like to one more rich in hope,

Featured like him, like him with friends possessid,

Desiring this man's art and that man's scope,

With what I most enjoy contented least;

Yet in these thoughts myself almost despising,

Haply I think on thee, and then my state,

Like to the lark at break of day arising

From sullen earth, sings hymns at heaven's gate;

For thy sweet love remember'd such wealth brings

That then I scorn to change my state with kings."

Answer:

For thy sweet love remember'd such wealth brings

With what I most enjoy contented least;

Explanation:

In the sonnet above, we can see that the speaker is a person disgusted by the life he used to see. He shows that he is no longer happy with things that made him happy before, but that when he thinks of his beloved, he is so happy that nothing would change his life, not even wealth and prosperity. In this case, the speaker reinforces the value that his relationship has in his life and in his mood. This is most evident in the lines:

"For thy sweet love remember'd such wealth brings

With what I most enjoy contented least; "
