"Urania"

by Matthew Arnold

Answer 1

Explanation:

With the qualification of "infantile" that the poet gives to humans in this third stanza, confirms what was said in the previous stanzas; a childish person is immature and incapable of reasoning and acting correctly; a "childish" person has no objectives. nor clear purposes; he does not care for or respect others, on the contrary he is selfish and only seeks his own benefit.
