Love gives naught but itself and takes naught but from itself. Love possesses not nor would it be possessed; For love is suffici

ent unto love. When you love you should not say, ‘God is in my heart,' but rather, ‘I am in the heart of God.'5 And think not you can direct the course of love, for love, if it finds you worthy, directs your course. Love has no other desire but to fulfill itself. But if you love and must needs have desires, let these be your desires: To melt and be like a running brook that sings its melody to the night.10 To know the pain of too much tenderness. To be wounded by your own understanding of love; And to bleed willingly and joyfully. To wake at dawn with a winged heart and give thanks for another day of loving; To rest at the noon hour and meditate love's ecstasy;15 To return home at eventide with gratitude; And then to sleep with a prayer for the beloved in your heart and a song of praise upon your lips.

This question is missing the options. I've found them online. They are as follows:

[...]To return home at eventide with gratitude; And then to sleep with a prayer for the beloved in your heart and a song of praise upon your lips.

Which statement BEST states the theme of this poem?

A) Anyone can fall in love.

B) Love is risky and should be avoided.

C) Love causes people to become irrational.

D) Love is the greatest of all human experiences.

Answer:

The correct answer is letter D) Love is the greatest of all human experiences.

Explanation:

Those lines were taken from the poem "On Love ", by author Kahlil Gibran. According to the speaker of the poem, love is a superb feeling, one that can melt you, that can give wings to your heart, that can bring praise to your lips. He does not talk only and necessarily about romantic love. It seems to be a more transcendental form of love, one that does not possess nor is possessed; one that places you "in the heart of God" - blissfully and selflessly. It is plain to see that the speaker thinks highly of love. He sees it as the greatest of all human experiences - the experience every person must allow themselves to have thoroughly.

How does the murder of Macduff's son highlight the cruelty of Macbeth's kingdom?
Elan Coil [88]
Macduff's son is a character in William Shakespeare's tragedy Macbeth(1606). His name and age are not established in the text, however he is estimated to be 7–10 years of age, and is often named as Andrew, for ease. He follows Shakespeare's typical child character; cute and clever. While Lady Macduff and her children are mentioned in Holinshed's Chronicles as the innocent victims of Macbeth's cruelty, Shakespeare is completely responsible for developing Macduff's son as a character.

The boy appears in only one scene (4.2), in which he briefly banters with his mother and is then murdered by Macbeth's thugs. The scene's purpose is twofold: it provides Shakespeare's audience with a thrillingly horrific moment, and it underscores the depravity into which Macbeth has fallen. The brutal scene has often been cut in modern performance.

Andrew is viewed as a symbol of the youthful innocence Macbeth hates and fears, and the scene has been compared by one critic to the biblical Massacre of the Innocents. He is described as an "egg" by his murderer, further emphasising on his youth before his imminent death.

Role in the play

In 4.2, Lady Macduff bewails her husband's desertion of home and family, then falsely tells her son that his father is dead. The boy does not believe her and says that if his father were really dead, she'd cry for him, and if she didn't then it would "be a good sign that I should quickly have a new father." Macbeth's henchmen arrive, and, when they declare Macduff a traitor, the boy leaps forward to defend his absent father. One of the henchme

Which trait is used to evaluate the mood created by the writer? A. conventions B. word choice C. ideas and content D. organizati
valentina_108 [34]

<u>Which trait is used to evaluate the mood created by the writer?</u>

<em>B. Word choice.</em>

<u>Word choice</u> is the trait through which a writer can evoke mood, tone, and atmosphere. The words that the writer chooses are essential to portray the desired feelings and reactions.

For example, check this passage from Edgar Allan Poe's "The Fall of the House of Usher": <em>"During the whole of a </em><em>dull, dark</em><em>, and </em><em>soundless</em><em> day in the </em><em>autumn </em><em>of the year, when the </em><em>clouds hung </em><em>oppressively </em><em>low</em> <em>in the heavens, I had been passing </em><em>alone</em><em>, on horseback, through a singularly </em><em>dreary</em><em> tract of country..."</em>

All the underlined words are meticulously chosen to create a gloomy mood, and Poe succeeds in provoking the reader a sense of mystery and melancholy.

When should you first write your thesis statement?
Irina18 [472]

Answer:

A thesis statement is often included towards the conclusion of an opening paragraph.

Explanation:

The sentence will be introduced by the sentences that come before it, and it will be supported and explained by the sentences that come after it. A thesis statement, like a subject sentence, introduces and organises a paragraph by assisting readers in recognising what is to come.
