Indeed, Herrick's deepest debt to ancient literature lies not in the
models which he
directly
imitated, nor in the Anacreontic tone which
with singular felicity he has often taken.
Guess: |
directly |
Question: |
What aspects of ancient literature had the most significant influence on Herrick's work, apart from the models he imitated and the Anacreontic tone he adopted? |
Answer: |
Herrick's deepest debt to ancient literature lies in the power to describe men and things with simple sincerity, insight, and grace, as well as the ability to paint scenes and imaginations as perfect organic wholes. He also has the gift to clothe each picture in fit metrical form, giving each its own music and leaving simplicity, sanity, and beauty as the lasting impressions on readers' minds. These gifts are at once the true bequest of classicism and the reason why the study of Hellenic and Latin poetry is essential. Herrick is classical in the great and eternal sense of the phrase, even more so than he probably realized. |

What are the prevailing faults of a literary work's transition date, and how might they have been critiqued in Joshua Poole's English Parnassus (1656-7)? |

The prevailing faults of a literary work's transition date may include a lack of attention to prosody and the multiformity and diversity of prosodic practice. In Joshua Poole's English Parnassus (1656-7), these faults might have been critiqued through the acute criticism provided by the unidentified 'J. D.' in the preface. |

Guess: |

Question: |
What factors might influence the order in which the states of latent possession and active development occur in an individual's life? |
Answer: |
Factors that might influence the order in which the states of latent possession and active development occur in an individual's life include the natural progression of development in a person, the presence of the Soul or Vital principle, and the structure and organization of the body. The state of latent possession comes first in a person's life, followed by active development, as the Soul serves as the earliest realization of a natural body with the potentiality of life. The Soul also corresponds to various forms of organic structure, which plays a role in the development of an individual. |

Question: |
What factors contributed to Plato's Academy almost entirely excluding women, and how did this influence the education system up until the coeducation rediscovery by Oberlin College and Zurich University in the nineteenth century? |
Answer: |
The factors that contributed to Plato's Academy almost entirely excluding women were societal norms and expectations of that time, which defined a clear separation of roles and opportunities between the two genders. This exclusion influenced the education system up until the nineteenth century when Oberlin College and Zurich University rediscovered coeducation. This meant that for centuries, educational institutions primarily catered to men, with little to no opportunities for women to participate in learning or advancing in intellectual fields. |

What does it mean for the English government to be liberal to its Catholic subjects in Canada, allowing them to wear their own political and religious fetters? |
Answer: |
For the English government to be liberal to its Catholic subjects in Canada, allowing them to wear their own political and religious fetters, means that the government has been notably lenient and accommodating towards the French Canadian population on matters related to their religious and political beliefs. This approach allows the French Canadians to maintain their unique cultural identity without imposing significant restrictions or pressure from the English government. |

Guess: |

Question: |
What are some historical and philosophical perspectives on the concept of space? |
Answer: |
Historical and philosophical perspectives on the concept of space include the classical view, which is based on a clear distinction between space and the physical world. In this view, space is seen as a uniform medium in which things are arranged in three dimensions and remain the same regardless of their position. However, modern thinkers have sought to revise this notion, questioning even the simplest ideas and considering the ways in which our experiences might change our understanding of space. |

Question: |
What could the significance be of the vintager singing near the remotest rows of his vines, and how might this relate to the ongoing care required for the vineyards? |
Answer: |
The significance of the vintager singing near the remotest rows of his vines could indicate the joy and satisfaction of completing a challenging task, as the lines preceding it mention that "the vines are tied" and "the vineyards require not the pruning-hook." It also shows that even though the vintager is tired, he can still find enjoyment in his work. This relates to the ongoing care required for the vineyards, as the passage further highlights that the earth must still be turned up, the mold moved, and the weather is to be dreaded by the ripening grapes. This signifies that even after completing a major task, the vintager must continue to be diligent and cautious in maintaining the vineyards to ensure a successful harvest. |

What factors could have contributed to disagreements among historians regarding the reasons behind the harsh wartime repression and President Wilson's tolerance of excessive vigilantism by extra-legal groups? |
Answer: |
Historians may disagree regarding the reasons behind the harsh wartime repression and President Wilson's tolerance of excessive vigilantism by extra-legal groups due to factors such as the role of racism in African-American protests, government strategies to discard dissent, attribution of civil rights concerns to outside forces, and the influences of Congress, members of Wilson's administration, the courts, or vigilante groups. Additionally, Wilson's oversight of Burleson and Gregory and his potential reservations about repression may contribute to differing viewpoints. |

For something to be more akin to the laws of nature means that it is more closely related to the natural, inherent principles that govern the behavior of the universe, rather than being a personalized, supernatural entity like a traditional notion of God.

Answer: |
Comparing Voltaire's procedure to the plaster cast of a dance is considered misleading because it oversimplifies and misrepresents his method of writing. Voltaire's approach is characterized by humor, satire, and poking fun at both the reader and himself. To reduce it to a mere plaster cast of a dance does not capture the complexity, wit, and self-awareness present in his work. |

Guess: |
Critical |
Question: |
Why do technological and aesthetic analyses become more fruitful when they comprehend the tour de force in works? |
Answer: |
Technological and aesthetic analyses become more fruitful when they comprehend the tour de force in works because it allows them to recognize the intricate balance between art's illusory element and the technical challenges the artist faces in creating the work. This balance is essential in understanding the essence of the artwork and its aesthetic enigma. By comprehending the tour de force, analyses can better grasp the nuances of artistic performance, enabling them to formulate the work as a problem with competing demands and ultimately, do justice to the masterpiece. |

Guess: |
claims |
Question: |
Why is the refutation focused on sectarians' liberation in relation to the self? |
Answer: |
The refutation is focused on sectarians' liberation in relation to the self because the passage argues that neither the aggregates nor the person can be considered as truly existent reliance, which is necessary for achieving nirvana and liberation from rebirth. Instead, the passage suggests that liberation should be accepted as a mere imputation. The argument centers around the idea that it is not possible for a person to exist independently from these aggregates and still achieve liberation, as such a concept would be self-contradictory and illogical. |

I Said It To You
I said it to you for the clouds
I said it to you for the tree of the sea
For each wave for the birds in the leaves
For the pebbles of sound
For
familiar
hands
For the eye that becomes landscape or face
And sleep returns it the heaven of its colour
For all that night drank
For the network of roads
For the open window for a bare forehead
I said it to you for your thoughts for your words
Every caress every trust survives.
