Byron - Childe Harold's Pilgrimage |

Away with novels, plots and plays of foreign courts,
Away with love-verses sugar'd in rhyme, the intrigues, amours of idlers,
Fitted for only
banquets
of the night where dancers to late music slide,
The unhealthy pleasures, extravagant dissipations of the few,
With perfumes, heat and wine, beneath the dazzling chandeliers.

But, in my Opinion,
this Confecration arifes from its being conferred by Foreigners ;
left a Citizen of Athens more highly valuing the Affedion of
Strangers, than that of his own Coimtry, may be
corrupted
in
his Principles.
Guess: |
defective |
Question: |
Why might a Citizen of Athens be corrupted in their principles if they value the affection of strangers more highly than that of their own country? |
Answer: |
A Citizen of Athens might be corrupted in their principles if they value the affection of strangers more highly than that of their own country because the confecration of a crown conferred by foreigners arises from the fear that a citizen might be corrupted in their principles by valuing the affection of strangers over that of their own country. The confecration ensures that the recipient and their posterity are obligated to preserve the glory of Athens and never entertain a thought injurious to the Republic. Therefore, the confecration adds a greater obligation to the recipient and ensures that the affection of their own country is valued over that of foreigners. |

the Clarions of War blew loud
The Feast redounds & Crownd with roses & the circling vine
The Enormous Bride & Bridegroom sat, beside them Urizen
With faded radiance sighd, forgetful of the flowing wine
And of Ahania his Pure Bride but She was distant far
But Los & Enitharmon sat in discontent & scorn
Craving the more the more enjoying, drawing out sweet bliss
From all the turning wheels of heaven & the chariots of the Slain
At
distance
Far in Night repelld.

passions; but, unlike the animals, we have the power to reflect whether an
action is right or wrong in itself apart from its consequences.

Thou hast bound many eyes
In a dreamy sleep--
But the strains still arise
Which _thy_
vigilance
keep--
The sound of the rain
Which leaps down to the flower,
And dances again
In the rhythm of the shower--

dimly revealing the lofty walls of rock almost to their point of

Virgil - Eclogues |

A
categorical or unconditional
imperative
is one which does not
represent the action in any way immediately through the conception
of an end that is to be attained by it; but it presents the action
to the mind as objectively necessary by the mere representation of its
form as an action, and thus makes it necessary.

When, at the barren wall's unsheltered end,
Where long rails far into the lake extend,
Crowded the
shortened
herds, and beat the tides
With their quick tails, and lash'd their speckled sides; 1820.
