The happiest person is the one who enjoys what age gives him without wasting his time in useless regrets. A child has his pains, he is not as free as he wishes to be and as he thinks older people are. He is continuously being told not to do things, or being punished for what he has done wrong.
Answer:
The theme of the poem is A. Memories provide opportunities for gratitude.
Explanation:
But let's face it: it is a sad gratitude. The speaker in the poem "The Self-Unseeing", by Thomas Hardy, is looking back at a childhood memory. The memory itself is happy and inspires gratitude. His father playing the fiddle, his mother sitting by the fire... Those were joyful times! However, there is some regret as the poem ends. The speaker realizes he did not pay attention to the happy moments while he was living them, back when he was younger. He seems to resent himself for that. Yet, his appreciation is now fully expressed through the poem.
