English

“The Buried Life” is a ninety-eight-line poem divided into seven stanzas of varying length with an irregular rhyme scheme. A monologue in which a lover addresses his beloved, the poem yearns for the possibility of truthful communication with the self and with others.

The first line evokes the banter of a loving couple, but it is immediately checked by the deeply sad feelings of the speaker. Troubled by a sense of inner restlessness, he longs for complete intimacy and hopes to find it in his beloved’s clear eyes, the window to her “inmost soul.”

What is pacing? Why is it important?
Goshia [24]
Pacing in regards to writing is the rate at which big events happen. For example, a story would have slow pacing if it's mostly just people having small talk. When a murder or catharsis occurs, the pace picks up. When a piece of literature or filmography has bad pacing, the transition between slow and fast pacing is all but nonexistent. When it has good pacing, the big events are molded into the story appropriately and naturally. Hope this helped.

kotegsom [21]

Answer:

Opal.

Explanation:

William Shakespeare's "Twelfth Night" revolves around the comedic yet romantic relationships of the numerous characters. The themes of this play involve mistaken identity, love, ambition, reality, and appearances.

In Act II scene iv, Duke Orsino asks his page Cesario, Viola in disguise, to give his love Olivia a gemstone. With the directive to<em> "Give her this jewel. Say My love can give no place, bide no denay." </em>This gem referred to is an opal, as stated by the clown when he said <em>"for thy mind is a very opal. I would have men of such constancy put to sea, that their business might be everything and their intent everywhere".</em> Just like the gen can change its colors, the clown points out that Count Orsino is exactly the same.
