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.

How are disability people being oppressed ?
olga2289 [7]

Answer:

Depends on the disability.

Explanation:

A person with Autism might be oppressed from not being able to get a job, to having people baby them through life. In some mild cases, you can rarely tell that they have it, but in big cases they can have the body of an adult, but the mind of a three year old (which is out of their control). You can find videos online of people baby people because they have autism, and it is infuriating. Other parts of the world, you could be executed for having a disability.
