A lovely boy, stolen from an Indian king;
She never had so sweet a changeling;
And jealous Oberon would have the child
Knight of his train, to trace the forests wild;
But she
perforce
withholds the loved boy,
Crowns him with flowers and makes him all her joy:
And now they never meet in grove or green,
By fountain clear, or spangled starlight sheen,
But, they do square, that all their elves for fear
Creep into acorn-cups and hide them there.

Question: |
How does the principal argument of the Essay prove the necessity of a class of proprietors and a class of laborers without implying the usefulness or necessity of the present great inequality of property? |
Answer: |
The principal argument of the Essay only proves the necessity of a class of proprietors and a class of laborers, but it does not imply the usefulness or necessity of the present great inequality of property. The decrease in the value of labor would only serve to decrease the possession of the class of laborers. While the present inequality of property is considered an evil, whether or not a government could actively interfere with it to repress it is a matter of debate. Additionally, the passage suggests that the system of barter and exchange may be viewed as a vile and iniquitous traffic by some, and alternative means of assisting the poor may be necessary. |

'Tis the man who with a bird,
Wren or eagle, finds his way to
All its instincts; he hath heard
The lion's roaring, and can tell
What his horny throat expresseth,
And to him the tiger's yell
Comes
articulate
and presseth
On his ear like mother-tongue.

In drear-nighted December,
Too happy, happy tree,
Thy branches ne'er remember
Their green felicity:
The north cannot undo them,
With a sleety whistle through them;
Nor frozen
thawings
glue them
From budding at the prime.

But in the line
"the earth is dark, but the heavens are bright" besides the simple
mention of the "dark earth" "and the bright heaven," we have,
directly, the moral
sentiment
of the brightness of the sky
compensating for the darkness of the earth- and thus, indirectly, of
the happiness of a future state compensating for the miseries of the
present.

I have seen eyes in the street
Trying to peer through lighted shutters,
And a crab one afternoon in a pool,
An old crab with
barnacles
on his back,
Gripped the end of a stick which I held him.
Guess: |
barnacles |
Question: |
Why did the narrator feel the need to hold onto a stick when observing the old crab in the pool? |
Answer: |
The passage does not provide any information about the narrator observing an old crab in a pool and holding onto a stick while doing so. The passage is a poem about a lamp and the moon. |
