Consider the following poem by John Milton:SONNET
XIX.ON HIS
BLINDNESS.WHEN I
consider how my light is spent,
Ere half my days in this dark world and wide,
And that one talent which is death to hide
Lodged with me useless, though my soul more bent
To serve therewith my Maker, and present
My true account, lest He returning chide,
‘Doth God exact day-labour, light denied?’
I fondly ask. But patience, to prevent
That murmur, soon replies, ‘God doth not need
Either man’s work or his own gifts. Who best
Bear his mild yoke, they serve him best. His state
Is kingly: thousands at his bidding speed,
And post o’er land and ocean without rest;
They also serve who only stand and wait.’Milton is
referring to Matthew 25:14-30, the parable of the talents, and he expresses the
fear that his loss of his one talent will render him an unprofitable servant.Citing both Milton and Matthew
25:14-30, discuss your own talents. Do you have just one talent, or has God
blessed you with many? Look at the definition of the liberal, fine, and
practical arts on page 4 of The Trivium. How do each of
these allow you to express and develop your talents? In your specific case,
what does it mean to hide your talents, and how can you avoid doing so?
