The Bothie of Tober-na-Vuolich, arguably Clough's most famous poem, was published in 1848, the year in which he saw the collapse of Chartism and the outbeak of revolutions in Europe.
The poem tells us to look to the west, where the land is bright. This coonects to that other command addressed to the reader, at the very beginning of the poem, to "say not". The end, positive and simple, is thus contrasted to the negative beginning with its inverted syntax and poetically heightened language, in a way which parallels the shift in style in the poem as a whole.
no matter how slow seems the progress of an effort made by one,the struggle never go futile
How pleasant it is to have money! Spectator ab Extra. 2 Say not the struggle naught availeth,The labor and the wounds are vain,The enemy faints not nor faileth,And as things have been they remain. Say not the Struggle Naught availeth. 3 For while the tired waves, vainly breaking,Seem here no painful inch to gain,Far back, through creeks and inlets making,Comes silent flooding in, the main. Say not the Struggle Naught availeth. 4 Grace is given of God but knowledge is bought in the market. Bothie of Tober-na-Vuolich. 5 There is a great Field-Marshal, my friend, who arrays our battalions;Let us to Providence trust, and abide and work in our stations. Bothie of Tober-na-Vuolich. 6 A world where nothing is had for nothing. Bothie of Tober-na-Vuolich. 7 As ships becalmed at eve, that layWith canvas drooping, side by side,Two towers of sail, at dawn of dayAre scarce, long leagues apart, descried. 1 As ships becalmed.
