Question

Judging from the image in lines 1-2, how does Milton view this occasion?

Answer 1

You can see that he's become a 23 year old person who doesn't know what to do with his life. He graduated and now doesn't know what to do, whether to become a priest or to become an artist. He speaks how fast his life has gone by and how it all seems as if time has stolen his youth and now he has to do something about it.
