whattaaayamean??


guys, remember in high school we always complain that they gave us whiny, frivolous and depressing poems to study in our literature component?

we should have been thankful because those were easy-peasy-pumpkin-peasy.

this is what i have to understand

Milton! thou should'st be living at this hour:
England hath need of thee: she is a fen
Of stagnant waters: altar, sword, and pen,

Fireside, the heroic wealth of hall and bower,
Have forfeited their ancient English dower
Of inward happiness. We are selfish men;
Oh! raise us up, return to us again;
And give us manners, virtue, freedom, power.
Thy soul was like a Star, and dwelt apart:

Thou hadst a voice whose sound was like the sea
:
Pure as the naked heavens, majestic, free,
So didst thou travel on life's common way,
In cheerful godliness; and yet thy heart

The lowliest duties on herself did lay.


i've read it and went...@@$%^&*, but with the help of Mr.Google AND my lit teacher, i can understand william wordsworth twisted words and double meaning.*fuh*


hopefully it will prevail in my quiz today...yes a quiz.

wish me luck you fiends!
ps: harry potter tonight if possible.
