Answer:
The topic of the poem "Auspex" is the departure of song birds.
Explanation:
The poem "Auspex" by James Russell Lowell talks about the love that the author has for nature and how the birds represent the passion and love he feels for the land, and as they went away when winter comes, they took away their singing too, leaving only sadness and loneliness alongside the author until they came back.

In the mentioned sestet from John Milton's sonnet VII, the way the act of trust responds to the speaker issues is that His trust in God allays his worries about his progress because he sees that he will arrive in life where he is meant to and when he is meant to.
In that stanza the speaker is sure that he does not have to worry trying to hasten his pace because God, his "Taskmaster's eye" is watching for him and he has a plan for everyone. So he trust God's plan and that it will eventually grant him his dues.
Answer: From the very first paragraph, Santiago is characterized as someone struggling against defeat. He has gone eighty-four days without catching a fish—he will soon pass his own record of eighty-seven days. Almost as a reminder of Santiago’s struggle, the sail of his skiff resembles “the flag of permanent defeat.” But the old man refuses defeat at every turn: he resolves to sail out beyond the other fishermen to where the biggest fish promise to be. He lands the marlin, tying his record of eighty-seven days after a brutal three-day fight, and he continues to ward off sharks from stealing his prey, even though he knows the battle is useless.
Because Santiago is pitted against the creatures of the sea, some readers choose to view the tale as a chronicle of man’s battle against the natural world, but the novella is, more accurately, the story of man’s place within nature. Both Santiago and the marlin display qualities of pride, honor, and bravery, and both are subject to the same eternal law: they must kill or be killed. As Santiago reflects when he watches the weary warbler fly toward shore, where it will inevitably meet the hawk, the world is filled with predators, and no living thing can escape the inevitable struggle that will lead to its death. Santiago lives according to his own observation: “man is not made for defeat . . . [a] man can be destroyed but not defeated.” In Hemingway’s portrait of the world, death is inevitable, but the best men (and animals) will nonetheless refuse to give in to its power. Accordingly, man and fish will struggle to the death, just as hungry sharks will lay waste to an old man’s trophy catch.
