Question

From “A Nocturnal Reverie” by Anne Finch Joys in the inferior world, and thinks it like her own: In such a night let me abroad remain, Till morning breaks, and all’s confused again; Our cares, our toils, our clamors are renewed, Or pleasures, seldom reached, again pursued.
What does the poet wish for in these lines?

Answer 1

In these last few lines from "A Nocturnal Reverie" by Anne Finch, she wishes to stay in the night, away from the chaos, noise and responsibility that somes with a new day. During the night, she can stay in her own world. However, when morning comes and she is forced out of her "reverie", even though people still pursue their pleasures, they are almost never reached.
