Our Life
We'll not reach the goal one by one but in pairs
We know in pairs we will know all about us
We'll love everything our children will smile
At the dark history or mourn alone
Uninterrupted Poetry
From the sea to the source
From mountain to plain
Runs the phantom of life
The foul shadow of death
But between us
A dawn of ardent flesh is born
And exact good
that sets the earth in order
We advance with calm step
And nature salutes us
The day embodies our colours
Fire our eyes the sea our union
And all living resemble us
All the living we love
Imaginary the others
Wrong and defined by their birth
But we must struggle against them
They live by dagger blows
They speak like a broken chair
Their lips tremble with joy
At the echo of leaden bells
At the muteness of dark gold
A lone heart not a heart
A lone heart all the hearts
And the bodies every star
In a sky filled with stars
In a career in movement
Of light and of glances
Our weight shines on the earth
Glaze of desire
To sing of human shores
For you the living I love
And for all those that we love
That have no desire but to love
I'll end truly by barring the road
Afloat with
enforced
dreams
I'll end truly by finding myself
We'll take possession of earth
Index of First Lines
I speak to you over cities
Easy and beautiful under
Between all my torments between death and self
She is standing on my eyelids
In one corner agile incest
For the splendour of the day of happinesses in the air
After years of wisdom
Run and run towards deliverance
Life is truly kind
What's become of you why this white hair and pink
A face at the end of the day
By the road of ways
All the trees all their branches all of their leaves
Adieu Tristesse
Woman I've lived with
Fertile Eyes
I said it to you for the clouds
It's the sweet law of men
The curve of your eyes embraces my heart
On my notebooks from school
I have passed the doors of coldness
I am in front of this feminine land
We'll not reach the goal one by one but in pairs
From the sea to the source

Why did we easily place our trust in someone due to our affection, emotional attachment, and desire to possess them? |
Answer: |
We easily placed our trust in someone due to our affection, emotional attachment, and desire to possess them because these feelings can create a sense of favoritism and emotional connection that can cloud our judgment. This type of trust can be shallow, blind, and often occurs in people who like to rely on others. |

Question: |
Why is failure considered the "mother of success" in this sentence? |
Answer: |
Failure is considered the "mother of success" in this sentence because it implies that success is often built on past failures. The learnings gained, skills practiced, experiences, and knowledge accumulated during the times of failure are then used effectively in succeeding tasks. Thus, success stands on the shoulders of past failures, and it is important to acknowledge that there is no enduring success without initial small failures. |

Why can't they ultimately bear and solve the deadlock difficulties within themselves? |
Answer: |
They ultimately cannot bear and solve the deadlock difficulties within themselves because they have not had any personal experience, heavily rely on teachings, and only turn to others for help when they can no longer bear the difficulties themselves. Due to this dependence, they become weaker and tend to not rely on their own strength, making it nearly impossible for them to resolve their own struggles. |

it certainly seems strange that on January 10th and on January 14th,
Lord Granville should have proposed, without a word of
consultation
with
Gordon himself, to send him on a mission which involved, not the
reconquest, but the abandonment of the Sudan; Gordon, indeed, when he
was actually approached by Lord Wolseley, had apparently agreed to
become the agent of a policy which was exactly the reverse of his own.

commit |
Question: |
Why is it important to commit the beginnings of great actions to Argus with his hundred eyes, and the ends to Briareus with his hundred hands in the context of considering the ripeness or unripeness of an occasion? |
Answer: |
In the context of considering the ripeness or unripeness of an occasion, committing the beginnings of great actions to Argus with his hundred eyes and the ends to Briareus with his hundred hands emphasizes the importance of using caution, alertness, and vigilance at the start of an endeavor, and speed and efficient execution towards the end. By employing these strategies, one can better assess the appropriateness of the timing and manage potential dangers or challenges. This balance prevents becoming too complacent or overly cautious, which could lead to missed opportunities or risks. |

Question: |
Why would his understanding and temper, despite being different from hers, have fulfilled all her wishes? |
Answer: |
His understanding and temper would have fulfilled all her wishes because, despite being different from hers, their union would have been advantageous to both of them. His mind might have been softened, and his manners improved by her ease and liveliness, while she would have benefited from his judgment, information, and knowledge of the world. |

We never can conceive how the equality of conditions, having once
existed, could
afterwards
have passed away.
Guess: |
conceivably |
Question: |
Why is it impossible to conceive how the equality of conditions could have disappeared after once existing? |
Answer: |
It is impossible to conceive how the equality of conditions could have disappeared after once existing because the passage argues that if original equality existed, then the present inequality must be a degeneration from the nature of society, which defenders of property cannot explain. Additionally, the passage suggests that if Providence placed the first human beings in a condition of equality, it was an indication of its desires and a model it wished them to realize in other forms. Hence, the passage implies that humans naturally incline towards equality, making it difficult to understand how it could have disappeared. |

if the sign '/4' were equivocal, we should not be able to say whether the
sentence
'2 = /4' were true, and just on this account this combination of signs could not properly be called a sentence at all, because it would be indeterminate which thought it expresses.

I Would Live in Your Love
I would live in your love as the sea-grasses live in the sea,
Borne up by each wave as it passes, drawn down by each wave that recedes;
I would empty my soul of the dreams that have
gathered
in me,
I would beat with your heart as it beats, I would follow your soul
as it leads.

how the way
Of fortune is unsure; none hates the day
Of slavery, or of death, so much as I
Abhor the time which wrought my liberty,
And my too lasting life; it had been just
My greater age had first been turn'd to dust,
And paid to time, and to the world, the debt
I owed, then earth had kept her
glorious
state:
Now at what rate I should the sorrow prize
I know not, nor have heart that can suffice
The sad affliction to relate in verse
Of these fair dames, that wept about her hearse;
"Courtesy, Virtue, Beauty, all are lost;
What shall become of us?

And should he make the Child
An instrument of falsehood, should he teach her
To stretch her arms, and dim the gladsome light
Of infant playfulness with piteous looks
Of misery that was not--
LACY
Troth, 'tis hard--
But in a world like ours--
MARMADUKE (changing his tone)
This self-same Man--
Even while he printed kisses on the cheek
Of this poor Babe, and taught its innocent tongue
To lisp the name of Father--could he look
To the unnatural harvest of that time
When he should give her up, a Woman grown,
To him who bid the highest in the market
Of foul pollution--

Question: |
Why would Marmaduke suggest that the man would teach the child to pretend to be miserable and eventually sell her to the highest bidder? |
Answer: |
Marmaduke suggests that the man would teach the child to pretend to be miserable and eventually sell her to the highest bidder to highlight the evil of human nature and the corruption of the world. By painting a scenario of a man exploiting a vulnerable child for personal gain, Marmaduke seeks to evoke a sense of horror and shock in his friends, exemplifying how the world is "poisoned at the heart." |
