Yet am I changed; though still enough the same
In strength to bear what time cannot abate,
And feed on bitter fruits without accusing fate.

heart

Question:

How has the speaker changed while still maintaining their strength to endure hardship and not blame destiny?

Answer (optional):

The speaker has changed but still maintains their strength to endure hardship and not blame destiny. They have thought less wildly and have learned to bear what time cannot abate, and feed on bitter fruits without accusing fate. Harold, who reappears in the passage, has also been altered in soul and aspect as in age, but still has the strength to endure despite the wounds that never heal.
