The correct answer is:
But at my back I always hear
Time's winged chariot hurrying near;
And yonder all before us lie
Deserts of vast eternity.
(Andrew Marvell, “To His Coy Mistress”)
These lines highlight the fleeting nature of life. The author argues that he can hear the "winged chariot" of time, meaning he can feel time passing, and "hurrying near." He knows that before us, there lies a desert of eternity. This is likely to refer to death. He believes that death is fast approaching, and that after death, lies an eternity.
Answer:
Grant political asylum
This is in response to the news titled “Rizal yet to get travel documents” dated March 17. It is unfortunate that Tek Nath Rizal, known as the father of the Bhutanese democracy movement, could not go to Geneva to attend the UN Commission for Human Rights meeting as the Nepal government could not provide him with necessary travel documents. He and two other Bhutanese human rights activists were invited by Lutheran World Federation. Nepal has not granted him political asylum till date for which he had applied in October last year. It sounds mysterious why Nepal deliberately fails to do so if it sincerely wants to solve the long protracted crisis. Granting Rizal the refugee status and travel document would not add any extra burden for Nepal, rather it would unleash Nepal from the burden of raising their concerns in the international arena. Who else could present the concerns and problems of the refugees better than Rizal?

Daisy was torn between Gatsby and Tom, and Gatsby's dream had always been to woo her. When she proved less receptive, he ended up dead in the pool. So it's safe to say that Daisy "smashed" Gatsby's dream.
