Answer:
My teacher once said that there are two ways to live forever. One: to have children. And two: to write a book. Books are a beautiful thing often overlooked. As your quote said, "[Books] stitched the patches of the universe together into one garment for us." It's not necessarily the book that's being spoken about - it's the author. The author is the one who has written this compilation of ideas and information onto their pages. Books are where we've gotten our knowledge of centuries ago, of thousands of miles away. There is no other way that we could have gotten the knowledge of the past than through books.
Answer:
The thought that is implied by the poem's first four lines is: the speaker wishes to live a carefree life.
Explanation:
Let's first take a look at the lines we are analyzing here:
<em>To fling my arms wide</em>
<em>In some place of the sun</em>
<em>To whirl and to dance</em>
<em>Till the white day is done.</em>
There is no way to know if the speaker is male or female, young or old. It could be Hughes himself, but it could also be a child. The description is quite childlike: "to fling my arms wide" is something children are more likely to do. But, imagine an adult, oppressed, hardened by prejudice and struggle, who finally achieves his dreams. To finally be free of worried, of fear, and of injustice. Wouldn't that adult feel like a child again? Carefree and happy?
That is what the four lines above seem to emphasize. The speaker wants a carefree life. He or she wants to play, to dance, to laugh his days away.
