The other two, slight air and purging fire,/Are both with thee, wherever I abide;/The first my thought, the other my desire,/The

se present-absent with swift motion slide./For when these quicker elements are gone/In tender embassy of love to thee/,My life, being made of four, with two alone/Sinks down to death, oppress'd with melancholy;/Until life's composition be recured/By those swift messengers return'd from thee,/0 Who even but now come back again, assured /Of thy fair health, recounting it to me:/ This told, I joy; but then no longer glad,/ I send them back again and straight grow sad

Answer:

This is Shakespeare's Sonnet 45.

In this sonnet, he finds himself in continous fluctuation between joy and sorrow. This is as a result of the absence of the one he loved. His thoughts were always moving to and fro between him and his love.

Actually, this sonnet relates to his previous sonnet. He finds that his thoughts and desires are not so much in himself, as with his beloved (hence present-absent.)

Substances were said to be made up of fire, air, earth and water. But when a substance is deprived of two of them, air and fire, (the other two) which correspond to thought and desire, the body responds and sinks into melancholy and decay.

Sergei considers the goldfish to be his friend. From the statement, it is shown that Sergei has trust issues with other beings (May it be a human or animal). He may have a dreadful experience in the past that prevents him from befriending others.

Which statement best describes the satire in the excerpt?
Ilya [14]

Hi there!

The statement that best describes the satire in the excerpt from The Canterbury Tales  is that Chaucer criticizes the idea that forgiveness is available for purchase.

In pieces of literature, performing arts or dances, satire is a genre that is used to ridicule or shame someone through wittiness and in form of humour. Satire is usually meant to be humorous.

This can be seen in the excerpt with: “All for a penny! Out now with your purse!” <em>Chaucer expresses humorously what he thinks about churches.  </em>

Hope this helps!
