Coronation Address and Truisms

I believe that the theme of the two poems was to listen and gain knowledge from the old generation. Both of these poems had a death of an older person and the younger person is the one that gains something new from the deaths. From the poem “Coronation Address,” there was honor and riches gained. From “The Truisms,” maturity was gained by the son.
