Leaps out of the night,
The snake of lightning

The lion of thunder
Roars--and we
Sit still and content
Under a tree--
We have met fate together
And love and pain,
Why should we fear
The wrath of the rain!

They but draw me nearer unto her in my thought

THE soft amour extended through the night,
The girl was pleas'd, and all proceeded right;
The foll'wing night, the next, 'twas still the same;
Young Clod at length her coldness 'gan to blame;
And as he felt suspicious of the act,
He watch'd her steps and
verified
the fact:
A quarrel instantly between them rose;
Howe'er the fair, his anger to compose,
And favour not to lose, on honour vow'd,
That when the sparks were gone, and time allow'd,
She would oblige his craving, fierce desire;--
To which the village lad replied with ire:--
Pray what care I for any tavern guest,
Of either sex; to you I now protest,
If I be not indulg'd this very night,
I'll publish your amours in mere despite.

Question: |
Why is the transition to a utilitarian, purpose-driven mindset seen as evidence of becoming more human? |
Answer: |
The transition to a utilitarian, purpose-driven mindset is seen as evidence of becoming more human because it shows that a person's conduct is no longer based solely on immediately expedient actions, but rather on permanently useful actions, which is the first rule of reason. This shows a higher stage of morality and the capability of purpose, which distinguishes humans from animals. |

Siege
socialism
would have given way to worker-consumer socialism.
Guess: |
capitalism |
Question: |
How would worker-consumer socialism differ from siege socialism? |
Answer: |
Worker-consumer socialism would differ from siege socialism by allowing more political diversity, autonomy for labor unions and organizations, open debate and criticism, privately owned small businesses, and independent agricultural development. It would also emphasize consumer goods over the military-industrial base. The result would be a more comfortable, humane, and serviceable society. However, it would risk being incapable of withstanding a Nazi onslaught. Therefore, the Soviet Union chose to embark on rigorous forced industrialization and build a strong military-industrial base to prepare for a potential invasion. |

As on a Alpine watch-tower
From heaven comes down the flame,
Full on the neck of Titus
The blade of Aulus came:
And out the red blood spouted,
In a wide arch and tall,
As spouts a
fountain
in the court
Of some rich Capuan's hall.

Pelides points the barrier on the plain,
And sends before old Phoenix to the place,
To mark the racers, and to judge the race.

There, two
gleaming
rubies stand erectly,
Whose crimson rays set off that ivory,
Smoothed so uniformly on every side:
There all grace abounds, and every worth,
And beauty, if there's any on this earth,
Flies to rest there in that sweet paradise.

His head he raised--there was in sight,
It caught his eye, he saw it plain--
Upon the house-top,
glittering

A broad and gilded vane.

deserved, according to aristocratic ideas, the deportation to
Siberia which was said to have been prepared for the author.
