Answer: Time gone by .

Explanation:

Shakespeare's Sonnet 106 is a poem from<em> the Fair Youth sequence</em>, in which the author praises the youth. The meaning of the phrase <em>"wasted time"</em> is, in this context, <em>the time that is spent, that has passed</em>. The poet realizes that, when he explores the descriptions of beautiful people made by other poets in the past, these poets were alluding to the same kind of beauty he sees in contemporary people.

valentinak56 [21]

Answer:

The speaker shows how in the eighth month of waiting, she is sad to see the butterflies flying in pairs, as this reinforces the idea of loneliness that she feels.

Explanation:

"Changgan Memories" by Li Po is a poem about a young couple who had to split up after two years of marriage. The speaker of the poem is the wife who lives lonely and sad waiting for her husband to return. At every moment, the loneliness she feels becomes more intense, reaching the point that everything she looks at reminds her husband is far away.

After waiting for her husband for eight months, she feels sad to see the butterflies flying in pairs through the garden. The butterflies seem happy with each other's company, it makes her feel more sad and lonely. This can be seen by the lines:<em> "And now, in the Eighth-month, yellowing butterflies/ Hover, two by two, in our west-garden grasses/ And, because of all this, my heart is breaking."</em>

To explain to foreign countries why the colonies seperated themselves from great britain

The Revolutionary War had already begun, and several major battles had already taken place. The American colonies had already cut most major ties to England, and had established their own congress, currency, army, and post office. On June 7, 1776, at Independence Hall in Philadelphia, Richard Henry Lee voiced a resolution that the United States should be completely free of England's influence, and that all political ties between the two countries should be dissolved. Congress agreed and began plans to publish a formal declaration of independence and appointed a committee of five members to draft the declaration.
