THE FLAME AND THE SMOKE By Gertrude Cornwell Hopkins
It is high, it is far~
Unattainably great,
Yet its rapture releases;
Melted are bonds and, unhindered,
I am at last not less than the thing that I am: Free of the universe,
Swept with pure fires,
Aware, unafraid, of the roaring, tumultuous vastness, Knowing my fire to be one with the core of all life; Set free from limits,
definements
and edges,
Enlarged by my high adoration,
Stilled even by madness of joy — Thus comes always upon me
The sense of the Oneness I worship, The sense of the Beauty I love.

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,

| 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. |
