Plato was one of the first critics in history and analyzed poetry and literature through his theories of forms and imitation. He believed that the highest level is the world of ideas, and that the physical world is merely an imitation of that ideal form. Literature is twice removed from truth, as it imitates life which imitates ideas. For this reason and others, Plato objected to poetry and expelled poets from his ideal republic, seeing them as unreliable sources of truth that appeal to emotions over reason.Drama (History from Greek to Medieval)

This poem addresses an old woman looking back on her life with regret. It summarizes:
1) The poem is spoken to an old woman sitting by the fire, asking her to take down this book of poems and remember her youth, when many loved her beauty, but one man loved her soul.
2) It reminds her of how love once fled and hid among the stars, implying she rejected that true love.
3) In her old age, she murmurs sadly about how love escaped her as she looks back on her life and the choices that led her to her current state.'My sweet old etcetera' by e.e cummings

E.E. Cummings served as an ambulance driver in World War 1 where he was detained and interrogated on suspicion of treason. After the U.S. entered the war, he was drafted but discharged in 1919. His poem "my sweet old etcetera" reflects on his experience through the perspectives of his family at home. Using unconventional punctuation and lowercase letters, he depicts the detachment between soldiers and loved ones and captures thoughts of escape through dreaming of a woman. Repetition of "etcetera" leaves meanings ambiguous but suggests an inability to fully express wartime realities.Poetry project

The poem explores the difficulty of accurately labeling or describing someone during times of conflict and political tension. Over the course of nine stanzas, the narrator tries out various terms like "terrorist", "freedom fighter", and "militant" to describe a young man waiting outside, but realizes that language is imperfect and can influence perceptions in a threatening way. The poem suggests that prejudices and fear prevent understanding until the narrator sees the person is just a child, at which point an invitation of acceptance is extended.Thomas hardy

Thomas Hardy: The Man He Killed
The poem is narrated by a soldier reflecting on killing another man in battle. He reflects that had they met under different circumstances as travelers at an inn, they could have shared drinks as friends. However, being enemies on the battlefield, he was forced to kill the man simply for being his opponent, though they had much in common and little real reason to be enemies. Through its simple yet ironic style, the poem criticizes the senselessness of war by showing how two ordinary men were set against one another without cause.Eng.spl 2.pptx presentation of poems of English

Thank you for attending our free workshops. Those can be used with any Reiki Yoga training package. Traditional Reiki does host rules and ethics. Its silent and within the JP Culture/Area/Training/Word of Mouth. It allows remote healing but theres limits for practitioners and masters. We are not allowed to share certain secrets/tools. Some content is designed only for Masters. Some yoga are similar like the Kriya Yoga-Church (Vowed Lessons). We will review both Reiki and Yoga (Master symbols) later on. Sounds Simple but these things host Energy Power/Protection.
Imagine This package will be a supplement or upgrade for professional Reiki. You can create any style you need.

We dont need to slave, mule, or work double shifts to fuse Reiki lol. It should blend naturally within our lifestyles. Same with Yoga. Theres no
need to use all the poses/asanas. For under a decade, my fav exercises are not asanas but Pilates. Its all about Yoga-meditation when using Reiki. (Breaking old myths.)

Chaulukya or Solanki was one of the Rajputs born from Agnikul. In the Vadnagar inscription, the origin of this dynasty is told from Brahma's Chauluk or Kamandalu. They ruled in Gujarat from the latter half of the tenth century to the beginning of the thirteenth century. Their capital was in Anahilwad. It is not certain whether it had any relation with the Chalukya dynasty of the south or not. It is worth mentioning that the name of the dynasty of the south was 'Chaluky' while the dynasty of Gujarat has been called 'Chaulukya'. The rulers of this dynasty were the supporters and patrons of Jainism.How to Manage Inventory Movement in Odoo 18 POS

Wheat, sorghum, and bajra (pearl millet) are susceptible to various pests that can significantly impact crop yields. Common pests include aphids, stem borers, shoot flies, and armyworms. Aphids feed on plant sap, weakening the plants, while stem borers and shoot flies damage the stems and shoots, leading to dead hearts and reduced growth. Armyworms, on the other hand, are voracious feeders that can cause extensive defoliation and grain damage. Effective management strategies, including resistant varieties, cultural practices, and targeted pesticide applications, are essential to mitigate pest damage and ensure healthy crop production.Non-Communicable Diseases and National Health Programs Unit 10 | B.Sc Nursi...
