The intent on solitude by Alexander Pope is a poem that how to be alone can be very good.Poetry says that a happy person is one who can lead a happier life with few things. They are happy, whose desires can be accomplished by a few paternal acre and who can breathe the original air on their land.Happy man is the one who has heard of milk filled with corn, fields, clothes wear, trees give shade in the summer and brings a fire in the winter. Who can spend time without worrying and who has health and peace of mind. Who can sleep and read by night? This is real happiness.So the last poet wants to remain invisible and unknown. He wants that no one will mourn his death.

Therefore, this poem gives the characteristics of a real happy man. The message is that who is rich is not happy but a happy person who has peace.
