Answer: This is an opinion question so no matter how u answer it , the answer cannot be marked as wrong.
you could say: It takes more courage to stand up to a friend because since you have known your friend longer and you have a connection with them, its harder for you to stand up to them especially if you look up to them.
Yes, it is true, it does take more courage to stand up to a friend because they're your friend, once I stood up to a bully that was picking on my friend, the next day, my friend was picking on a kid, I didn't want to tell him to stop, but I did anyway beacasue the little guy was a 9th grader, and I didn't want him to get caught up in my friends business so I pulled my friend off of him and said sorry for the way my friend was acting, I told him the story on he got bullied, after the story, I asked my friend why he bulled the little kid. He said "Im tired of this stuff" I guess he was tired of the bullying that was affecting him as a person. So this school year, im trying to change my friend's life so he doesn't have a bad one
For me the poet wants to be in a place that is near the wind and the sea and in which he can access to ancient truths and beauties. His desire is to live in the eternally changing powers with the ancient God of the seas and rivers. So, this God is always changing forms and that makes the discovery of the truth more difficult. Another God that the author invokes is Triton which is another sea God and use his powers to calm waters.
