MY LADY,
I would, as usual, have availed myself of the privilege your goodness
has allowed me, of sending you anything I compose in my
poetical
way;
but as I had resolved, so soon as the shock of my irreparable loss
would allow me, to pay a tribute to my late benefactor, I determined
to make that the first piece I should do myself the honour of sending
you.

Arous'd from this sad mood
By one, who at a
distance
loud halloo'd,
Uplifting his strong bow into the air,
Many might after brighter visions stare:
After the Argonauts, in blind amaze
Tossing about on Neptune's restless ways,
Until, from the horizon's vaulted side,
There shot a golden splendour far and wide, 350
Spangling those million poutings of the brine
With quivering ore: 'twas even an awful shine
From the exaltation of Apollo's bow;
A heavenly beacon in their dreary woe.

| Answer: |
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. |

Arrives its stroke, since through such length of air

With only a finger, so that her

Might be tinted by the passion of her burning sister,
The little one, naive and not even blushing)

This prey, forever ungrateful, frees itself and is gone,

| Question: |
Why did the interest in educating girls increase during the years of 1770-1810? |
| Answer: |
The interest in educating girls increased during the years of 1770-1810 due to a growing intellectual influence, as expressed in literature and specifically through the works of female authors such as Sophie Laroche, Karoline Flachsland, Charlotte Stein, and Charlotte Kalb. This interest was also influenced by the general interest in education during this time period, which included discussions and debates on the best methods and content for educating girls. The movement towards girls' education was sparked in France in 1762 with the publication of Rousseau's "Emile", which presented the character of Sophie and captured the attention of the educated world in both France and Germany. The first schools for girls were established during this period, with educators like Basedow advocating for co-education and the use of new educational methods. |

IDONEA I have nothing
To do with others; help me to my Father--
[She turns and sees
MARMADUKE
leaning on ELEANOR--throws herself
upon his neck, and after some time,]
In joy I met thee, but a few hours past;
And thus we meet again; one human stay
Is left me still in thee.

If that blind fury that
engenders
wars,
Fails to rouse the creatures of a kind,
Whether swift bird aloft or fleeting hind,
Whether equipped with scales or sharpened claws,
What ardent Fury in her pincers' jaws
Gripped your hearts, so poisoned the mind,
That intent on mutual cruelty, we find,
Into your own entrails your own blade bores?

Hugo - Poems |

The scents of red roses and sandalwood flutter
and die in the maze of their gem-tangled hair,
And smiles are entwining like magical serpents
the poppies of lips that are opiate-sweet;
Their
glittering
garments of purple are burning
like tremulous dawns in the quivering air,
And exquisite, subtle and slow are the tinkle
and tread of their rhythmical, slumber-soft feet.

He shunned those parties boisterous;
The conversation tedious
About the crop of hay, the wine,
The kennel or a kindred line,
Was certainly not erudite
Nor
sparkled
with poetic fire,
Nor wit, nor did the same inspire
A sense of social delight,
But still more stupid did appear
The gossip of their ladies fair.

Before the passage, horrid Hydra stands,
And Briareus with all his hundred hands; Gorgons, Geryon with his triple frame;
And vain Chimaera vomits empty flame
The chief unsheath'd his shining steel, prepar'd, Tho' seiz'd with sudden fear, to force the guard, Off'ring his brandish'd weapon at their face; Had not the Sibyl stopp'd his eager pace,
And told him what those empty phantoms were: Forms without bodies, and
impassive
air.

Why was the chief prepared to force the guard with his weapon despite being seized with sudden fear? |
