Donkey or cow, cockerel or horse

A singing man a single bird
An agile dancer with his wife
A couple drenched in their youth
The gold of the grass lead of the sky
Separated by azure flames
Of the health-giving dew
The blood

A couple the first reflection
And in a cellar of snow
The opulent vine draws
A face with lunar lips

THE FERRY
By
Gertrude
Cornwell Hopkins
Crossing the golden meadows,
Crossing the stately river,
Moving down to the southward gate with the far-going vessels, Casting my weary stiffness
To melt in the curl of the wavelets,
Flying free in the wind-whisps
Snapped from the top of the water,
Warmed by the early sunlight,
Touched by the self-same magic
That turns the wallowing brick-barge —
To a delicious, improbable treasure of gold
I myself am improbable
The city's tall shadow stalks forward and touches my shoulder:
I am only a useful rectangle
Built in the high walls of Business,
Now that the shadow has stolen my improbable moment of gold.

How does the "Kurtzer Bericht" explain the effectiveness and importance of the "New en Method"? |
| Answer: |
The "Kurtzer Bericht" explains the effectiveness and importance of the "New en Method" by providing a very compelling presentation of its advantages over the old method. It highlights the fact that all children in German schools are held in school and learn to read, write, and do math, whereas with the old method, over 1000 of the 1700 school-age children had never come to school. It also points out that it was not possible to teach more children individually with the old method, whereas with the new method, it became feasible. |

| Answer: |
The passage discusses Montaigne's belief that knowledge can be gained through the study of ancient texts, as well as his preference for the third type of interaction, which is the interaction with books, as it is constant and easy to obtain. In the Kapitel Von den Büchern 10), Montaigne expresses his desire for a more complete insight beyond just the study of these books. This relates to the speaker's desire for a more complete understanding of the world and suggests that books alone may not provide all the answers. |

| Answer: |
It is not necessary to outwardly belong to a church community that is secretly mocked internally, but those who do not belong to such a community often align themselves with the worst of the Papists who openly despise God's Word, secretly support sin, and seek to destroy those who are not part of their party. Therefore, some pious, learned Englishmen have made a better choice by leaving England and going where they can freely practice their faith without fear of persecution. |

And all the characters are wrought with ease,
Your play, though weak in beauty, force, and art,
More strongly shall delight, and warm the heart,
Than where a lifeless pomp of verse appears,
And with
sonorous
trifles charms our ears.

So saying, he started from his seat, cast off
His purple cloak, and lay'd his sword aside,
Then fix'd, himself, the rings,
furrowing
the earth
By line, and op'ning one long trench for all,
And stamping close the glebe.

Pushkin - Queen of Spades |

And thought's
entangled
skein being wound,
He knew the moorland of his swound,
And the pale pools that smeared the ground;
The far wood-pines like offing ships;
The fourth pool's yew anear him drips,
_World's cruelty_ attaints his lips,
And still he tastes it, bitter still;
Through all that glorious possible
He had the sight of present ill.
