The answer to this question is in Auden's words "for instance". His poem is not specifically about Icarus and his tragedy. It transcends this particular story, elevating its message to the highest, universal level. The poem is about suffering as an integral constituent of life. People are often completely unaware of other people's suffering. The Icarus motif is just an example, albeit a very drastic one. It serves as the poem's climax. The "delicate ship" is on its course and it keeps sailing, although the crew must have seen "a boy falling out of the sky". In other words, the strange death of a young boy changes nothing in the course of other people's lives. That is why, unlike Williams' poem, this one doesn't even have Icarus in its title, but the Museum. It deals with the relations of life vs. death and art vs. reality, rather than Icarus' tragic story.
Answer:
The example he gives is that if humans disappeared from the earth, nature would find a way to re-establish itself and little by little it would destroy things that are important to humans.
Explanation:
According to Weisman, a large part of our physical infrastructure would begin to collapse almost immediately. Without street maintenance teams, our great boulevards and highways would begin to crack and to become dull in a matter of months. In the following decades, many homes and commercial buildings would collapse, but some common items would withstand degradation for an unusually long time. Stainless steel pans, for example, could last for millennia, especially if they were buried in the prehistoric sites weeded in which our kitchens would become. And certain common plastics would remain intact for hundreds of thousands of years, not decomposing until microbes evolved to acquire the ability to consume them.
Which of the following definitions of the word gun BEST defines the term as used in the sentence from “Selection 2: No More Interference in Our Personal Lives”?
<h2>
‛‛</h2>
<em> After you reach the end of your pasture, you spot them running down an open stretch of road, and you gun the engine to catch them.</em>
<h2>
’’</h2>
any portable firearm
to shoot with a firearm
slang: a colloquialism for muscles
to cause an engine to increase speed quickly
The last option is the only one that makes the most sense for this scenario. To <em>gun </em>an engine means to quickly speed up or accelerate. The third option has to do with muscles, or biceps, so it is not correct. There is also no mention of a firearm in the example sentence provided, so none of the others would work.
Hope this helps! Please let me know if you need more help, or if you think my answer is incorrect. Brainliest would be MUCH appreciated. Have a great day!
Stay Brainy!

True, lots of these groups use language because it helps us communicate with a person in many ways.
Accordingo to Helmholtz, Shakespeare's power lies in the resources of metaphors, similies and all the poetical language he uses. Act II of Romeo and Juliet is what fascinated Helmholtz the most and after having read it, the stated that everybody should feel miserable for not being able to say simple and complex things in the same way Shakespeare can.
