what is meant by the line" what to him are plato and the wing of plaeides?

Sagot :

Plato, representing knowledge or intellect
Pleiades representing the stars (in the sky, the seven stars)

"What to him are Plato and the swing of Pleiades" may mean he has  no more time to pursue knowledge and appreciate beauty around him because he is
preoccupied with hard work and labor.
