Answer:We don’t use this much nowadays — dictionaries usually tag it as archaic or literary — except in the set phrase make the welkin ring, meaning to make a very loud sound.
What supposedly rings in this situation is the vault of heaven, the bowl of the sky, the firmament. In older cosmology this was thought to be one of a set of real crystal spheres that enclosed the Earth, to which the planets and stars were attached, so it would have been capable of ringing like a bell if you made enough noise.
The word comes from the Old English wolcen, a cloud, related to the Dutch wolk and German Wolke. Very early on, for example in the epic poem Beowulf of about the eighth century AD, the phrase under wolcen meant under the sky or under heaven (the bard used the plural, wolcnum, but it’s the same word). Ever since, it has had a strong literary or poetic connection.
It appears often in Shakespeare and also in Chaucer’s Canterbury Tales: “This day in mirth and revel to dispend, / Till on the welkin shone the starres bright”. In 1739, a book with the title Hymns and Sacred Poems introduced one for Christmas written by Charles Wesley that began: “Hark! how all the welkin rings, / Glory to the King of kings”. If that seems a little familiar, it is because 15 years later it reappeared as “Hark! the herald-angels sing / Glory to the new born king”.

The sentence in question shows the dynamics of the relationship between teachers and students: the student, in general, devalues the teacher's knowledge, partly due to the immaturity of his age and partly because the contents of the classes tend to be unattractive for them, who have interests commensurate with their age. However, this disinterest of the student disappears at the moment in which the teacher evaluates the knowledge, as they realize the interest that the teacher has regarding the knowledge and learning of the contents.

Well, since I had a look on the first words in the first sentence it become clear for me that the author included these sentence in order to provide a contrast to his group’s nonviolent efforts. Just because of the grammar structure of the lines, when it starts from ''The other'' we can predict that the speaker compares something with the excerpt represented above. I bet there was a previous introductory sentence that is connected with particular movement and further we can see ''the other" that reflects contrast.<span>

Because it gave the humans power and like the gods. Not a mythical power, per se, but one that made the gods angry. They wanted to be superior to the humans and didn’t want humans to have any power, I don’t think. Hope this helps!
