In line 4, the unidentified individual is referred to as a "saint" in the "contemporary meaning." For example, the unknown citizen always behaves in the acceptable or anticipated manner. When there was conflict, he was for war; when there was calm, he was for peace, as indicated later in the poem. Therefore, he was considered to be a peaceful saint who wanted only good things for everyone. There are three words used to describe him: "noble," "bright," and "glorious." A noble person is someone who has great moral character; he is bright because of his intelligence; and he is glorious because of his reputation. All these properties made up one perfect human being. These attributes were not given out freely. Rather, they were reserved for a chosen few by God. Thus, the word "saint" has been used to describe people such as Martin Luther King Jr., Abraham Lincoln, and George Washington. These individuals all had great moral character, so they were called saints in the contemporary meaning. Also, they were all very intelligent people who did good things for others. So, they were called saints because they showed God's love by helping other people. Finally, they were all glorious because of their reputation. So, they were called saints in the contemporary meaning. Now, back to our poem.
