This is the poem down here:

The Ocean has its

silent cave,

Deep, quiet, and

alone;

Though there be

fury on the waves,

Beneath them there is none.

The awful spirits of the deep

hold their communion there;

And there are those for whom we weep,

The young, the bright, the fair.

Calmly the weary seamen rest

Beneath their own blue sea.

The ocean solitude are blest,

For there is purity.

The earth had guilt, the earth has care,

Unquiet are its graves;

But peaceful sleep is ever there,

Beneath the dark blue waves.

Answer:

Check below for the answer and explanations.

Explanation:

The speaker describes the sea as though tempestous and uncalm at the surface, is very calm and silent deep in the bottom. It is so calm that the spirits have their meetings there and even the dead are found there. "The awful spirits of the deep hold their communion there; And there are those for whom we weep, The young, the bright, the fair."

He said there is purity and blest under the sea and it provides a better resting place for the dead than the earth which is uncalm and whose graves lack peace and solitude. He said, "The earth had guilt, the earth has care,

Unquiet are its graves;

But peaceful sleep is ever there,

Beneath the dark blue waves."

The main aim of this poem is to describe the blest, solitude and peace that exist under the ocean, and its suitability for receiving the body of man after death.

Answer:

One of Dr. King’s most famous writings, “Letter from Birmingham Jail” talks about why nonviolent resistance to racism is important. It emphasizes why direct action to break unjust laws is needed, rather than waiting for justice or equality to arrive. Birmingham was one of the focal points of the Civil Rights movement in 1963 since Birmingham was one of the most racially segregated cities in America. Nonviolent resistance to unjust laws eventually influenced the passage of the Civil Rights Act of 1964.
