  • Drowsy Grief: The term “drowsy” suggests lethargy and mental fatigue. The speaker’s sorrow is not active or sharp; it weighs him down, preventing mental or emotional engagement.

  • Unimpassioned Grief: “Unimpassioned” indicates a lack of vivid feeling or intensity. Rather than a fiery or acute sorrow, his grief is numb and stagnant, stripping him of vitality and responsiveness.

  • Emotional Paralysis: Together, these descriptions convey a state of emotional inertia, where the speaker is unable to connect with nature, imagination, or joy.

  • Romantic Context: In line with Romantic ideals, the poem emphasizes that poetic and emotional inspiration comes from a vivid, responsive inner life, which is currently suppressed, leaving the speaker trapped in dejection.
