Apollo was passionately fond of a youth named Hyacinthus. He accompanied him in his sports, carried the nets when he went fishing, led the dogs when he went to hunt, followed him in his excursions1 in the mountains, and neglected for him his lyre2 and his arrows. One day they played a game of quoits3 together, and Apollo, heaving aloft the discus,4 with strength mingled with skill, sent it high and far. Hyacinthus watched it as it flew and excited with the sport, ran forward to seize it, eager to make his throw, when the quoit bounded from the earth and stuck him in the forehead. He fainted and fell. The god, as pale as himself, raised him and tried all his art to stanch5 the wound and retain the flitting life, but all in vain; the hurt was past the power of medicine. Q1 As, when one has broken the stem of a lily in the garden, it hangs its head and turns its flowers to the earth, so the head of the dying boy, as if too heavy for his neck, fell over on his shoulder. “Thou diest, Hyacinth,” so spoke Phoebus,6 “robbed of thy youth by me. Thine is the suffering, mine the crime. Would that I could die for thee! But since that may not be thou shalt live with me in memory and in song. My lyre shall celebrate thee, my song shall tell thy fate, and thou shalt become a flower inscribed with my regret.” While Apollo spoke, behold the blood which had flowed of hue more beautiful than the Tyrian7 sprang up, resembling the lily, if it were not that this is purple and that silvery white.8 And this was not enough for Phoebus; but to confer still greater honor, he marked the petals with his sorrow, and inscribed “Ah! Ah!” upon them, as we see to this day. The flower bears the name of Hyacinthus, and with every returning spring revives the memory of his fate. Q2
It means life that is passing away quickly. Referring to Death.
Explanation:
"The god, as pale as himself, raised him and tried all his art to stanch the wound and retain the flitting life, but all in vain; the hurt was past the power of medicine."
From the passage above it can be seen that the god Apollo was trying to save the life of his friend hyacinthus but life was slipping away too qiukly from the young man. So much so that even Apollo could do nothing about his dying friend.
By believing in controlling ideas as well as actions would be
the reaction to the idea that "all men are created equal" by the followers
of the three philosophical traditions in China. This would give "all men
are created equal" a new power. With this, a new power would be given to
the “all men are created equal” statement.
The Declaration of Independence
of the United States of America in 1776 was the event where the
immortal statement “all men are created equal” was made. This means that “all
the people have a right to live, to be happy and to be free and all the people
on the Earth are equal from birth” if understood in a much broader sense.
"The Executive Department Further Considered", is an essay written by Alexander Hamilton arguing for the unitary executive provided for in the United States Constitution. It was originally published on March 15, 1788 in The New York Packet under the pseudonym Publius as part of The Federalist Papers and as the fourth in Hamilton's series of eleven essays discussing executive power
1. People living in Texas and New Mexico would need middleman to conduct trade due to the great distances involved in travelling.
2. The Puebloen were town dwellers with sophisticated villages, while the plain culture was mostly nomadic.
Explanation:
1. Both Texas and New Mexico were frontier States with poor transport links with the industrialized North-West. Due to the great distances involved, it made more sense to conduct trade with a middleman than do it directly.
The middleman would manage transport and security of goods with their own network and contacts. At the time, it was almost impossible to do business otherwise.
2. Both the Puebloen people and the Tribes on the claims were Native American people but with their own distinct culture, traditions and language. The plains provided with enough bison and wild game to fulfill the needs of the people and the geography also meant that these people had to live like nomads, moving places depending on the weather.
