"Chainless Mind" from On The Castle of Chillon



This lines extracted from Liberty  poet Lord byron's freedom poem On The castle of Chillon.  Bonnivard's  patriotic zeal brought out here in this poem. He makes apocalypse of tyranny and had shown the path of freedom.

Bonnivard,  a Swiss patriot was imprisoned by the tyrant, the Duke of Savoy from his courageous defence against his tyranny. He was kept in the dungeon of the castle of Chillon but the spirit of Liberty is eternal and cannot be suppressed by the Tyrants. Bonnivard's imprisonment and repression rouse his countrymen to patriotic fervour and martial spirit and they attacked the castle and release Bonnivard from imprisonment.

My New Website about Literature


"Man is born free but everywhere he is in chains" - said Rousseau. It means that man's first duty is to break the chains to free freedom is our right to born may be flow out from the mouth of Bonnivard like Sardar Vallabhbhai Patel which aptly visualised by the Romantic poet Lord Byron's poetic point of view that spirit of freedom chainless and eternal.

The phrase "Chainless Mind" means that mind cannot be bound by any outside agency . It  is eternal eternal, deathless and universal truth.
