How do these lines from Kyndra Khan by Samuel Taylor Coleridge affect the overall tone of the poem?

English

In "Kubla Khan," Coleridge describes the creation and destruction of Kubla Khan's palace in the exotic location of Xanadu, which gives the poem a dreamlike quality. Through the historical character of Kubla Khan, Coleridge uses the wild image of the Mongols to suggest that Kubla Khan is insane, implying that all creative actions are the acts of mad men.

The last lines bring the poem to a climatic close. Flashing eyes evoke the image of passionate creativity. By talking about "holy dread," Coleridge suggests that creation is both sacred and demonic.

Hope that helps :)

According to a different source, these are the lines that the question refers to:

<em>His flashing eyes, his floating hair! </em>

<em>Weave a circle round him thrice,</em>

<em>And close your eyes with holy dread </em>

<em>For he on honey-dew hath fed, </em>

<em>And drunk the milk of Paradise.</em>

In these final lines of the poem "Kubla Khan," Coleridge describes Kubla Khan, as well as his character. The description suggests that Kubla Khan was a mad man. He is described as having flashing eyes and floating hair. This wild image is intended to suggest that all creative actions are the acts of insane people. Moreover, with such a description, the author brings the poem to a dramatic and intense conclusion.

Select the correct answer. What is the purpose of the third paragraph in the passage?​
koban [17]

Hello. You forgot to show the text and answer options. Both are set out below.

In 2002, astronomers using Hubble noted that the abundance of high-altitude clouds increased the planet's brightness from observations made in the late 1990s. Astronomers consider this brightness increase a sign of seasonal change. Hubble studies show that Neptune has a nearly constant brightness at low latitudes (near the equator). This supports the idea that the observed changes are seasonal in nature, because seasonal effects would be minimal near the equator and most evident at high latitudes.

A. to prove how scientists were able to confirm that Neptune has recurring weather

B. to suggest that Neptune is similar to Earth in terms of weather patterns

C. to demonstrate how scientists were able to conclude that Neptune has clouds like Earth

D. to introduce the idea that Neptune is similar to other planets in the galaxy

Answer:

A. to prove how scientists were able to confirm that Neptune has recurring weather

Explanation:

The text presents how scientists came to the conclusion that Neptune is a planet that has seasonal changes, similar to the earth, but with a different time interval between them. The text also shows that it is possible to observe these seasonal changes with the increase in the latitude at which the planet is observed, which reinforces the idea that, on this planet, the climate is recurrent, according to seasonality.

lubasha [3.4K]

The lines in the poem “Astrophil and Stella” which indicates that the poetic speaker is hopelessly in love are:

1. “And pleas’d with our soft peace, stayed here his flying race.”

2. “Where with most ease and warmth he might employ his art:”

3. “Deceiv’d the quaking boy, who thought from so pure light”

4. “But she most fair, most cold, made him thence take his flight To my close heart, where while some firebrands he did lay,”

5. “He burnt un’wares his wings, and cannot fly away.”

Sir Phillip Sydney wrote the sequence of sonnets “Astrophil and Stella” which has been inspired by his relationship with Lady Penelope. It is a sequence of poems which marks the development of Astrophil's love for Stella. He is deeply in love with Stella and describes her beauty, intelligence, and wisdom in the sonnets.
