The poem describes a snake that comes to drink water from the poet's trough on a hot day in Sicily. As the snake drinks, the poet is conflicted between letting it drink in peace or killing it, as he was taught snakes in Sicily can be venomous. Though afraid, the poet feels honored by the snake seeking hospitality. When the snake finishes and leaves, the poet regrets startling it with a log, seeing it as a mean act. The snake seemed a king in exile, and the poet feels he missed a chance with one of life's lords.
The beginning section of my novella, The Courtesans of Abaddon, in which four sisters work in a brothel that exists simultaneously within heaven and hell, serving both angels and demons, in which time both passes eternally and doesn't exist at all, where day and night, light and dark, good and evil, god and anti-god, seem to be one and the same.

Romantic Poems
:
Samuel Coleridge
, "Kubla Khan" (1798)
In Xanadu did Kubla Khan
A stately pleasure-dome decree;
Where Alph, the sacred river, ran
Through caverns measureless to man
Down to a sunless sea.
So twice five miles of fertile ground
With walls and towers were girdled round;
And here were gardens bright with sinuous rills
Where blossomed many an incense-bearing tree;
And here were forests ancient as the hills,
Enfolding sunny spots of greenery.
But O, that deep romantic chasm which slanted
Down the green hill athwart a cedarn cover!
A savage place! as holy and enchanted
As e'er beneath a waning moon was haunted
By woman wailing for her demon-lover!
And from this chasm, with ceaseless turmoil seething,
As if this earth in fast thick pants were breathing,
A mighty fountain momently was forced;
Amid whose swift, half-intermittent burst
Huge fragments vaulted like rebounding hail,
Or chaffy grain beneath the thresher's flail.
And 'mid these dancing rocks at once and ever
It flung up momently the sacred river.
Five miles meandering with a mazy motion
Through wood and dale the sacred river ran,
Then reached the caverns measureless to man,
And sank in tumult to a lifeless ocean;
And 'mid this tumult Kubla heard from far
Ancestral voices prophesying war!
The shadow of the dome of pleasure
Floated midway on the waves;
Where was heard the mingled measure
From the fountain and the caves.
It was a miracle of rare device,
A sunny pleasure-dome with caves of ice!
A damsel with a dulcimer
In a vision once I saw.
It was an Abyssinian maid,
And on her dulcimer she played,
Singing of Mount Abora.
`Could I revive within me
Her symphony and song,
To such a deep delight 'twould win me
That with music loud and long,
I would build that dome in air,
That sunny dome! those caves of ice!
And all who heard should see them there,
And all should cry, Beware! Beware!
His flashing eyes, his floating hair!
Weave a circle round him thrice,
And close your eyes with holy dread,
For he on honey-dew hath fed,
And drunk the milk of Paradise.
William Wordsworth
, "The Solitary Reaper" (1807)
Behold her, single in the field,
Yon solitary Highland Lassl
leaping and singing by herself;
Stop here, or gently passl
Alone she cuts and binds the grain,
And sings a melancholy strahl;
O listen for the Vale profound
Is overflowing with the sound.
No Nightingale did ever chaunt
More welcome notes to weary bands
Of travellers in some shally haunt,
Among Arabian sands:
A voice so thrilling ne'er was heard
In spring-time from the Cuckoo-bird,
Breaking the silence of the seas
Among the farthest Hebrides.
Will no on.
For Essay 1, write an explication of one of the assigned poe.docxRAJU852744
For Essay 1, write an
explication
of
one
of the assigned poems.
Choose to write about
only one
of the following:
"The Fish"
"A Blessing"
"My Papa's Waltz"
"Lady Lazarus"
"The Blue Bowl"
"Most Like an Arch This Marriage"
Unit 1 will cover, in detail, how to write an explication essay. In brief, "in an explication essay, you examine a work in much detail. Line by line, stanza by stanza...you explain each part as fully as you can and show how the author's techniques produce your response. An explication is essentially a demonstration of your thorough understanding of a work" (
Literature: The Human Experience
47).
For this particular essay, you will want to focus on the poetic techniques of diction, tone, image, and/or figurative language, which we will also cover in this unit.
Your essay should be between 500 and 750 words and adhere to MLA formatting. It needs to quote directly from your chosen text for support, but it should
not
use any secondary research.
Remember that the explication essay should
not just
summarize the poem.
It needs to look at the different elements of poetry used and offer a detailed
explanation
of the poem that also addresses the poem's overall effect and meaning.
The Fish
Elizabeth Bishop
,
1911
-
1979
I caught a tremendous fish
and held him beside the boat
half out of water, with my hook
fast in a corner of his mouth.
He didn’t fight.
He hadn’t fought at all.
He hung a grunting weight,
battered and venerable
and homely. Here and there
his brown skin hung in strips
like ancient wallpaper,
and its pattern of darker brown
was like wallpaper:
shapes like full-blown roses
stained and lost through age.
He was speckled with barnacles,
fine rosettes of lime,
and infested
with tiny white sea-lice,
and underneath two or three
rags of green weed hung down.
While his gills were breathing in
the terrible oxygen
—the frightening gills,
fresh and crisp with blood,
that can cut so badly—
I thought of the coarse white flesh
packed in like feathers,
the big bones and the little bones,
the dramatic reds and blacks
of his shiny entrails,
and the pink swim-bladder
like a big peony.
I looked into his eyes
which were far larger than mine
but shallower, and yellowed,
the irises backed and packed
with tarnished tinfoil
seen through the lenses
of old scratched isinglass.
They shifted a little, but not
to return my stare.
—It was more like the tipping
of an object toward the light.
I admired his sullen face,
the mechanism of his jaw,
and then I saw
that from his lower lip
—if you could call it a lip—
grim, wet, and weaponlike,
hung five old pieces of fish-line,
or four and a wire leader
with the swivel still attached,
with all their five big hooks
grown firmly in his mouth.
A green line, frayed at the end
where he broke it, two heavier lines,
and a fine black thread
still crimped from the strain and snap
when it broke and he got away.
Like medals with their ribbons

TEXT 1: “Do not go gentle into that good night” by Dylan Thomas (1914–1953)
Do not go gentle into that good night,
Old age should burn and rave at close of day;
Rage, rage against the dying of the light.
Though wise men at their end know dark is right,
Because their words had forked no lightning they
Do not go gentle into that good night.
Good men, the last wave by, crying how bright
Their frail deeds might have danced in a green bay,
Rage, rage against the dying of the light.
Wild men who caught and sang the sun in flight,
And learn, too late, they grieved it on its way,
Do not go gentle into that good night.
Grave men, near death, who see with blinding sight
Blind eyes could blaze like meteors and be gay,
Rage, rage against the dying of the light.
And you, my father, there on the sad height,
Curse, bless, me now with your fierce tears, I pray.
Do not go gentle into that good night.
Rage, rage against the dying of the light.

TEXT 2: “Annabel Lee” by Edgar Allan Poe (1809–1949)
It was many and many a year ago,
In a kingdom by the sea,
That a maiden there lived whom you may know
By the name of Annabel Lee;
And this maiden she lived with no other thought
Than to love and be loved by me.
I was a child and she was a child,
In this kingdom by the sea,
But we loved with a love that was more than love—
I and my Annabel Lee—
With a love that .

The French Revolution, which began in 1789, was a period of radical social and political upheaval in France. It marked the decline of absolute monarchies, the rise of secular and democratic republics, and the eventual rise of Napoleon Bonaparte. This revolutionary period is crucial in understanding the transition from feudalism to modernity in Europe.

We all have good and bad thoughts from time to time and situation to situation. We are bombarded daily with spiraling thoughts(both negative and positive) creating all-consuming feel , making us difficult to manage with associated suffering. Good thoughts are like our Mob Signal (Positive thought) amidst noise(negative thought) in the atmosphere. Negative thoughts like noise outweigh positive thoughts. These thoughts often create unwanted confusion, trouble, stress and frustration in our mind as well as chaos in our physical world. Negative thoughts are also known as “distorted thinking”.

2024.06.01 Introducing a competency framework for languag learning materials ...Sandy Millin
http://sandymillin.wordpress.com/iateflwebinar2024
Published classroom materials form the basis of syllabuses, drive teacher professional development, and have a potentially huge influence on learners, teachers and education systems. All teachers also create their own materials, whether a few sentences on a blackboard, a highly-structured fully-realised online course, or anything in between. Despite this, the knowledge and skills needed to create effective language learning materials are rarely part of teacher training, and are mostly learnt by trial and error.
Knowledge and skills frameworks, generally called competency frameworks, for ELT teachers, trainers and managers have existed for a few years now. However, until I created one for my MA dissertation, there wasn’t one drawing together what we need to know and do to be able to effectively produce language learning materials.
This webinar will introduce you to my framework, highlighting the key competencies I identified from my research. It will also show how anybody involved in language teaching (any language, not just English!), teacher training, managing schools or developing language learning materials can benefit from using the framework.
6. D. H. Lawrence (1885-1930), English novelist, storywriter, critic,
poet and a painter, is one of the greatest figures in 20th century
English literature. The poem Snake was composed in 1923 and
forms part of the Reptiles section of D. H. Lawrence’s book
“Birds, Beasts and Flowers”. It details a powerful few moments
when Lawrence is comforted by a snake at Lawrence’s water
trough, in Taormina, Sicily. The poem is unrhymed, written in
free verse, and is representative of modernist literature.
7. By:- D. H. Lawrence
A snake come to my water –trough
On a hot, hot day, and I in pyjamas for the heat,
To drink there.
In the deep, strange-scented shade of the great dark carob
tree
I came down the steps of my pitcher
And must wait, must stand and wait, for there he was at
the trough before me.
He reached down from a fissure in the earth-wall in the
gloom
And trailed his yellow-brown slackness soft-bellied down,
over the edge of the stone trough
8. And rested his throat upon the stone bottom,
And where the water had dripped from the tap, in a small
clearness, He sipped with his straight mouth, Softly drank
through his straight gums, into his slack long body,
Silently. Someone was before me at my water-trough, And
I, like a second comer, waiting.
He lifted his head from his drinking, as
Cattle do, And looked at me vaguely, as
Drinking as cattle do, And flickered his two-forked tongue
from his lips,
And mused a moment, And stooped and
Drank a little more, Being earth-brown,
Earth-golden from the burning bowels of the earth.

and mused a moment, And stooped and
drank a little more, Being earth-brown,
earth-golden from the burning bowels
of the earth
On the day of Sicilian July, with Etna
smoking. The voice of my education said
to me He must be killed,
For in Sicily the black, black snakes are innocent,
the gold are venomous.
And voices in me said, If you were a man
You would take a stick and break him now, and
finfish him off.
But must I confess how I liked him,
How glad I was he had come like a guest in quiet, to
drink at my water-trough
And depart peaceful, pacified, and thankless,
Into the burning bowels of this earth?

10. Was it cowardice, that I dared not kill him? Was it
perversity, that I longed to talk to him? Was
It humility, to feel so honoured? I felt so honoured
And yet those voices:
If you were not afraid, I was most afraid, But even so,
honoured still more
That he should seek my hospitality
From out the dark door of the secret earth.
He drank enough
And lifted his head, dreamily, as one who has drunken,
And flickered his tongue like a forked night on the air, so
black,
Seeming to lick his lips,
And looked around like a god, unseeing, into the air,
11. Was it cowardice, that I dared not kill him? Was it
perversity, that I longed to talk to him?
Was it humility, to feel so honoured? I felt so honoured.
And yet those voices:
If you were not afraid, you would kill him!
And truly I was afraid, I was most afraid, But even so,
honoured still more
That he should seek my hospitality
From out the dark door of the secret earth.
He drank enough
And flickered his tongue like a forked night on the air, so
black,
Seeming to lick his lips, And looked around like a god,
unseeing, into the air,
And slowly turned his head,
And slowly, very slowly, as if thrice adream,
Proceeded to draw his slow length curving round
And climb again the broken bank of my wall-face.
And as he put his head into that dreadful hole,
And as he slowly drew up, snake-easing his shoulders, and entered
farther,
Asort of horror, a sort of protest against his withdrawing into that
horrid black hole,
Deliberately going into the blackness, and slowly drawing himself
after,
Overcame me now his back was turned.
I looked round, I put down my pitcher,
I picked up a clumsy log
And threw it at the water-trough with a clatter.
12. I think it did not hit him,
But suddenly that part of him that was left behind convulsed
in undignified haste.
Writhed like lightning, and was gone
Into the black hole, the earth-lipped fissure in the wall-front,
At which, in the intense still noon, I stared with fascination.
And immediately I regretted it.
I thought how paltry, how vulgar, what a mean act!
I despised myself and the voices of my accursed human
education.
And I thought of the albatross
And I wished he would come back, my snake.
For he seemed to me again like a king,
13. Like a king in exile, uncrowned in the
underworld,
Now due to be crowned again.
And so, I missed my chance with one
of the lords
Of life.
And I have something to expiate
A pettiness.
