When I consider how my light is spent
Ere half my days, in this dark world and wide,
In these lines of verse from Sonnet XIX by John Milton, how does the speaker’s way of identifying this point in his life emphasize the despair he feels?
He has been blind for half of his life and feels his life is meaningless.
He is upset that he has accomplished so little in his lifetime.
He fears the remaining portion of his life will be useless.
He spends half of his time in the dark and feels useless.
