They are known as hummingbirds because of the humming sound created by their beating wings, which flap at high frequencies audible to humans. They hover in mid-air at rapid wing-flapping rates, which vary from around 12 beats per second in the largest species, to in excess of 80 in some of the smallest.

Although ernest hemingway and fitzgerald were friends, why was there a jealous tension between them? had they collaborated, how
PilotLPTM [1.2K]
They sent letters to each other a couple of times. Many would agree that there is a classic story of the homosexual tensions bubbling just beneath the surface between Hemingway and Fitzgerald, so maybe there you could find room for jealousy. Both of them had strong perceptions of what it meant to be gay, and they stated how to interact with their gay friends. Perhaps if they had worked together, they could have done more for this, let us call it "project".

Read this excerpt from “The TRape of the Lock” by Alexander Pope.
galina1969 [7]

Explanation:

What terrible offense can result from romantic pursuits,

What great fights can arise from trivial things,

I sing- this poem for Caryll, muse is needed:

Even Belinda can do me the favor of reading this verse

The subject of the poem is trivial, but the praise could be great

If she (Belinda) inspires and he (Caryll) approves my poem.

Tell me, what strange motive could compel a well bred Lord (aristocrat or a gentleman) to assault a gentle girl?

Tell me, what even stranger cause, as yet unheard of,

could compel a gentle girl to reject a Lord?

Small men can undertake such bold actions

And soft-hearted women can hold so much anger?
