Start with what a gerund is...a gerund is a verb that has -ing at the end

ex: hearing, becoming, happening

so a gerund phrase is a phrase that includes the gerund and all of its modifiers and compliments

example: They like jumping on the trampoline

jumping is your gerund

They like jumping where? on the trampoline

so Jumping on the trampoline your gerund phrase

Why would auden only mention icarus briefly in the second half of musée des beaux arts
asambeis [7]
The answer to this question is in Auden's words "for instance". His poem is not specifically about Icarus and his tragedy. It transcends this particular story, elevating its message to the highest, universal level. The poem is about suffering as an integral constituent of life. People are often completely unaware of other people's suffering. The Icarus motif is just an example, albeit a very drastic one. It serves as the poem's climax. The "delicate ship" is on its course and it keeps sailing, although the crew must have seen "a boy falling out of the sky". In other words, the strange death of a young boy changes nothing in the course of other people's lives. That is why, unlike Williams' poem, this one doesn't even have Icarus in its title, but the Museum. It deals with the relations of life vs. death and art vs. reality, rather than Icarus' tragic story.

Example of compound ideas​
Mkey [24]

Answer:

Compound ideas, although derived from experience, are formed by the mind by combining simple ideas, so the mind acquires an active role in the production of such compound ideas (such as ideas of beauty, gratitude, universe, etc.).

Explanation:

The understanding selects several ideas, gathers and associates them and ends up synthesizing them into a compound idea of a higher level than the original ones.

The most abstract, more elaborate ideas such as the notion of beauty, eternity, infinity, etc. They are compound ideas (this always according to Locke who was the creator of the differentiation between simple ideas and complex ideas).

An example is the game of billiards: if I hit a billiard ball with the stick, I transmit energy to it, then the ball moves. In other words, a cause (hitting the billiard ball with the stick) is followed by an effect (the billiard ball moves).
