What do you think about this poem?

It was written by Edgar Lee Masters. I absolutely love it :) and I’m curious to here your thoughts. Its called George Gray. I have studied many times the marble which was chiseled for me– A boat with a furled sail at rest in a harbor. In truth it pictures not my destination but my life. For love was offered to me and I shrank from its disillusionment Sorrow knocked at my door, but I was afraid; Ambition called to me, but I dreaded the chances. Yet all the while I hungered for meaning in my life. And I know that we must lift the sail And catch the winds of destiny wherever they drive the boat. To put meaning in one’s life may end in madness, but life without meaning is torture of restlessness and vague desire– It is a boat longing for the sea and yet afraid.
