This is my best translation of the the poem

Hes describing some sort of burden, something hard to overcome. As the characer in the poem struggles to achieve his goal. However, if he can pass through these struggles, he will be able to get what he wanted or desired.

Explanation:

I personally think this way but poems are tend to be interpretted in diffrent ways like songs. However Ill still give my best explanation.

These two lines are signifying that the thing he desired can be achieved in many ways and it is not easy to achieve them since there is no straight path and he must make up his own to acieve what he wants.

" There are no beaten paths to Glory’s height,

There are no rules to compass greatness known; "

What I said above translates these lines.

" Each for himself must cleave a path alone,

And press his own way forward in the fight. "

Same goes for these lines

" Smooth is the way to ease and calm delight,

And soft the road Sloth chooseth for her own; "

Aswell as this, refer to the answer to understand

" But he who craves the flower of life full–blown,

Must struggle up in all his armor dight! "

" What though the burden bear him sorely down

And crush to dust the mountain of his pride, "

Oh, then, with strong heart let him still abide;

For rugged is the roadway to renown, "

Ill let you do the rest, This is already quite a lot of info for you to be able to understand the poem :)

I hope it helped

Read the last line to understand him getting his desire or what he wants.

Read the following excerpt from "dark tower" by claude mckay before you choose your answer. "we shall not always plant while others reap the golden increment of bursting fruit, nor always countenance, abject and mute, that lesser men should hold their brothers cheap; not everlastingly while others sleep shall we beguile their limbs with mellow flute, not always bend to some more subtle brute. we were not made eternally to weep. the night, whose sable breast relieves the stark, white stars, is no less lovely being dark; and there are buds that cannot bloom at all in light, but crumple, piteous, and fall. so in the dark we hid the heart that bleeds, and wait, and tend our agonizing needs." in context, the expression "the night, whose sable breast relieves the stark,/ white stars, is no less lovely being dark; " is best interpreted as a. the light of the stars overpowers the black of night b. the black of night overpowers the light of the stars c. black and white contribute equally to the beauty of the night sky d. black and white continuously compete for prominence in the night sky
