Structure of an Essay Finding Peace in Stressful Times14/07/2020
Ever since the start of the lockdown on account of the
worldwide spread of the Corona Virus, everyone is feeling
very stressed. In the beginning, the sudden holidays felt very
exciting, but as it has been increasing, we are starting to
feel locked up, like prisoners in our own home. But in the
midst of these scary times, I have found a way to feel at
peace, not only for myself but also in a way that I can share
with my family.

6. I will arise and go now, and go to Innisfree,
And a small cabin build there, of clay and wattles made;
Nine bean-rows will I have there, a hive for the honey-bee,
And live alone in the bee-loud glade
And I shall have some peace there, for peace comes dropping slow
Dropping from the veils of the morning to where the cricket sings;
There midnight’s all a glimmer, and noon a purple glow,
And evening full of the linnet’s wings.
I will arise and go now, for always night and day
I hear lake water lapping with low sounds by the shore;
While I stand on the roadway, or even on the pavements grey,
I hear it in the deep heart’s core.

15. CH 2: The Lake Isle of Innisfree14/07/2020
Explain the meanings of these linesfromthe poem:
“For peace comes dropping slow, dropping from the veils of
The morning to where the cricket sings”
The poet feels that when it is cloudy in the morning and the
view of the sky is not clear, it looks as though the morning
has worn a veil. He describes how peace descends upon him
just as the early morning mist slowly and gradually
descends upon the Earth.
