Summary

This quote suggests that young poets are not capable of finding peace within themselves because they are consumed by their passion for fighting battles and expressing their creative voices through their poetry. Instead of seeking tranquility, young poets are focused on the conflicts they perceive in the world and feel the urgency to contribute their verses in order to address these issues. Thus, the quote implies that the restless and driven nature of youthful poets prevents them from finding personal serenity.
