The Sower by Victor Hugo

Q: The poet has observed the sower closely. Express the reverence the poet has for the sower. A: In the poem, the poet is occupied by the solitary farmer who was alone in the field beyond his working hours to sow seeds. The poet after watching carefully noticed the devotion of the man. His age shows the number of bad harvests he has seen but refuses to give up. He works hard even though he might not seen the fruits of his labour.
