"Necklace" shows the feeling that his political career is bumpy, he wanders around the world and his talents are not met. The end of the couplet expresses the poet's sadness that the country is divided and helpless, but he can't serve the country with enthusiasm. This poem is rich in meaning. Although lyric is low and depressing, it is natural and appears majestic and detached.
