Ab la dolchor del temps novel
Out of the
sweetness
of the spring,
The branches leaf, the small birds sing,
Each one chanting in its own speech,
Forming the verse of its new song,
Then is it good a man should reach
For that for which he most does long.

Hard strove the frightened maiden, and screamed with look aghast;
And at her scream from right and left the folk came running fast;
The money-changer Crispus, with his thin silver hairs,
And Hanno from the stately booth
glittering
with Punic wares,
And the strong smith Muraena, grasping a half-forged brand,
And Volero the flesher, his cleaver in his hand.

Down through the world
Of infinite mourning, and along the mount
From whose fair height my lady's eyes did lift me,
And after through this heav'n from light to light,
Have I learnt that, which if I tell again,
It may with many

And, if I am a timid friend to truth,

To whom these days shall be of ancient date.

And while in peace cows eat, and chew their cuds,
Moozing cool sheltered neath the skirting woods,
To double uses they the hours convert,
Turning the toils of labour into sport;
Till morn's long streaking shadows lose their tails,
And cooling winds swoon into faultering gales;
And searching sunbeams warm and sultry creep,
Waking the teazing insects from their sleep;
And dreaded gadflies with their drowsy hum
On the burnt wings of mid-day zephyrs come,--
Urging each lown to leave his sports in fear,
To stop his
starting
cows that dread the fly;
Droning unwelcome tidings on his ear,
That the sweet peace of rural morn's gone by.

Index of First Lines
Under the Mirabeau flows the Seine
Brushed by the shadows of the dead
The anemone and flower that weeps
The angels the angels in the sky
I've gathered this sprig of heather
The strollers in the plain
My gipsy beau my lover
The gypsy knew in advance
I am bound to the King of the Sign of Autumn
An eagle descends from this sky white with archangels
Mellifluent moon on the lips of the maddened
Autumn ill and adored
The room is free
Our story's noble as its tragic
Love is dead within your arms
In the evening light that's faded
You've not
surprised
my secret yet
Evening falls and in the garden
You descended through the water clear
O my abandoned youth is dead
Admire the vital power
From magic Thrace, O delerium!

Oscar Wilde - Poetry |

There's a cloud at the portal, a spray-woven veil
At the shrine of his
ceaseless
renewing;
It embosoms the roses of dawn,
It entangles the shafts of the noon,
And into the bed of its stillness
The moonshine sinks down as in slumber,
That the son of the rock, that the nursling of heaven
May be born in a holy twilight!

What the authors of this paper need is some good harsh discussion of this
question
regarding the function of deactivation.
Guess: |
hypothesis |
Question: |
Why do the authors of the paper need a discussion on the function of deactivation, and how will this discussion benefit their research? |
Answer: |
The authors of the paper need a discussion on the function of deactivation to gain a clearer understanding of its role in maintaining activation, caretaking, and deep feelings. This discussion will benefit their research by consolidating repetitive low logical level explanations into a simple high logical level paragraph or two. However, the authors currently do not have the resources to engage in such discussions due to difficulties regarding the maintenance of contact with enough principled hysteria. |

By means of the
deposition
of prior values, the world, for- merly the merely earthly world, becomes being as a whole as such.
Guess: |
revaluation |
Question: |
How does the deposition of prior values transform the world into being as a whole? |
Answer: |
The deposition of prior values transforms the world into being as a whole by rendering what is accessible as valueless and in need of new values. This leads to a new positing of values which changes being as a whole, standing outside the difference between the earthly and the beyond. This also eliminates the former place in which values could be posited, making valuation itself a different one. |
