Hi

Thanks

com/dictionary/eye " Frenetic age (my guess): everything goes faster and faster, everybody is stressed, success = achievement etc etc... But maybe the context can give clues as to what "frenetic" means in your sentence?

Thanks ! I think you are right.

The sentence reads as follows:

"What is this life if, full of care, We have no time to stand and stare?" As a scurrying adolescent, I found the

sentiment profoundly irriating. Today, in our more frenetic age, it seems to me she had a point.
