Open Question: poetry analisis help?
can some one answer these questions for the following poems
?Analyze the five poems to discover what type the poet writes most often: for example, imagery, free verse, sonnets, odes, etc.
?How has the poet?s life impacted his/her poems?
?What techniques (similes, metaphors, personification, etc) does he/she use most often?
Romance, who loves to nod and sing, With drowsy head and folded wing, Among the green leaves as they shake Far down within some shadowy lake, To me a painted paroquet Hath been- a most familiar bird- Taught me my alphabet to say- To lisp my very earliest word While in the wild wood I did lie, A child- with a most knowing eye. Of late, eternal Condor years So shake the very Heaven on high With tumult as they thunder by, I have no time for idle cares Through gazing on the unquiet sky. And when an hour with calmer wings Its down upon my spirit flings- That little time with lyre and rhyme To while away- forbidden things! My heart would feel to be a crime Unless it trembled with the strings.
In spring of youth it was my lot To haunt of the wide world a spot The which I could not love the less- So lovely was the loneliness Of a wild lake, with black rock bound, And the tall pines that towered around. But when the Night had thrown her pall Upon that spot, as upon all, And the mystic wind went by Murmuring in melody- Then- ah then I would awake To the terror of the lone lake. Yet that terror was not fright, But a tremulous delight- A feeling not the jewelled mine Could teach or bribe me to define- Nor Love- although the Love were thine. Death was in that poisonous wave, And in its gulf a fitting grave For him who thence could solace bring To his lone imagining- Whose solitary soul could make An Eden of that dim lake.
There are some qualities- some incorporate things, That have a double life, which thus is made A type of that twin entity which springs From matter and light, evinced in solid and shade. There is a two-fold Silence- sea and shore- Body and soul. One dwells in lonely places, Newly with grass o’ergrown; some solemn graces, Some human memories and tearful lore, Render him terrorless: his name’s “No More.” He is the corporate Silence: dread him not! No power hath he of evil in himself; But should some urgent fate (untimely lot!) Bring thee to meet his shadow (nameless elf, That haunteth the lone regions where hath trod No foot of man,) commend thyself to God!
Thou wast all that to me, love, For which my soul did pine- A green isle in the sea, love, A fountain and a shrine, All wreathed with fairy fruits and flowers, And all the flowers were mine. Ah, dream too bright to last! Ah, starry Hope! that didst arise But to be overcast! A voice from out the Future cries, “On! on!”- but o’er the Past (Dim gulf!) my spirit hovering lies Mute, motionless, aghast! For, alas! alas! me The light of Life is o’er! “No more- no more- no more-” (Such language holds the solemn sea To the sands upon the shore) Shall bloom the thunder-blasted tree Or the stricken eagle soar! And all my days are trances, And all my nightly dreams Are where thy grey eye glances, And where thy footstep gleams- In what ethereal dances, By what eternal streams.
Thy soul shall find itself alone ‘Mid dark thoughts of the grey tomb-stone; Not one, of all the crowd, to pry Into thine hour of secrecy. Be silent in that solitude, Which is not loneliness- for then The spirits of the dead, who stood In life before thee, are again In death around thee, and their will Shall overshadow thee; be still. The night, though clear, shall frown, And the stars shall not look down From their high thrones in the Heaven With light like hope to mortals given, But their red orbs, without beam, To thy weariness shall seem As a burning and a fever Which would cling to thee for ever. Now are thoughts thou shalt not banish, Now are visions ne’er to vanish; From thy spirit shall they pass No more, like dew-drop from the grass. The breeze, the breath of God, is still, And the mist upon the hill Shadowy, shadowy, yet unbroken, Is a symbol and a token. How it hangs upon the trees, A mystery of mysteries!

Open Question: Can heart problems derive from abusing pills earlier in life?
To put it shortly, I used to abuse pills frequently along with drinking and smoking, all between 15 and 16. (Don’t comment on my age I don’t care what you think about that) But basically met a girl (around September-October of 2009) she got me clean and ever since then I’ll have very brief periods that last from a few seconds to a couple minutes where it feels like my heart is either being pulled backwards or needles are poking it.
Sometimes it doesn’t hurt and sometimes it does pretty badly. It usually happens just when I sit or lay down and it only occurs a couple times every 2 weeks.
I also recently discovered one month ago that the only person I love has LAM (lymphangioleiomyomatosis) so that has also put some stress on me since she could die at any moment.
Oh yeah, back when I was 13 around that age before I did any drugs I had problems with acid reflux and vocal nodules but that went away. So is it possible for me to be developing any form of heart disease already at the age of almost 17?
I’ll post more details if needed but for now I’m concerned about my own life.

Open Question: Swollen lower legs and ankles!?
I woke up this morning lower legs and ankles. I also have what they call “pitting edema”! When I push on my leg/ankle it indents and remains there for awhile. I will give you a quick run through of my health conditions: I have gallstones which is being removed June 24th, I have an enlarged liver, I have pain under left rib that goes up my back side into my shoulder blades sometimes! The pain under my left rib is similar to that of my gallbladder pain but when touched is not sensitive. I am vitamin D deficient as well as very anemic. I have cists in my thyroid, peptic stomach ulcers and dislocating hips! I have heart arythmia and heart palpatations. If you have any idea what may be causing this swelling and edema please let me know. I also have pain in my legs,claves and ankles! The pain is more like a cramping/or pressure pain.
Please note: I had a baby almost 6 months ago, am on a diet due to the gallbladder and liver and I do not drink/smoke or do drugs!

Open Question: You say the Quran is bad but you don’t look at the bible in the same light how is this?
For the record the Quran is a vile piece of trash also.
Here are some Just some examples of the many things in the bible that are negative and not conductive to a civil society.
So Jesus said to them, “Truly, truly, I say to you, unless you eat the flesh of the Son of man and drink his blood, you have no life in you; he who eats my flesh and drinks my blood has eternal life, and I will raise him up at the last day. For my flesh is food indeed, and my blood is drink indeed. -John 6:53-55
“If ye will not hear, and if ye will not lay it to heart, to give glory unto my name, saith the LORD of hosts, I will even send a curse upon you, and I will curse your blessings: yea, I have cursed them already, because ye do not lay it to heart. Behold, I will corrupt your seed, and spread dung upon your faces, even the dung of your solemn feasts; and one shall take you away with it.” Malachi 2:2-3
Don?t associate with non-Christians. Don?t receive them into your house or even exchange greeting with them. 2 John 1:10
“The secret of the kingdom of God has been given to you. But to those on the outside everything is said in parables so that, ” ‘they may be ever seeing but never perceiving, and ever hearing but never understanding; otherwise they might turn and be forgiven!” Mark 11-12
And ye shall eat the flesh of your sons, and the flesh of your daughters shall ye eat. — Leviticus 26:29
Suppose you hear in one of the towns the LORD your God is giving you that some worthless rabble among you have led their fellow citizens astray by encouraging them to worship foreign gods. In such cases, you must examine the facts carefully. If you find it is true and can prove that such a detestable act has occurred among you, you must attack that town and completely destroy all its inhabitants, as well as all the livestock. Then you must pile all the plunder in the middle of the street and burn it. Put the entire town to the torch as a burnt offering to the LORD your God. That town must remain a ruin forever; it may never be rebuilt. Keep none of the plunder that has been set apart for destruction. Then the LORD will turn from his fierce anger and be merciful to you. He will have compassion on you and make you a great nation, just as he solemnly promised your ancestors. “The LORD your God will be merciful only if you obey him and keep all the commands I am giving you today, doing what is pleasing to him.” Deuteronomy 13:13-19
And thou shalt eat the fruit of thine own body, the flesh of thy sons and of thy daughters. — Deuteronomy 28:53
And I will cause them to eat the flesh of their sons and the flesh of their daughters, and they shall eat every one the flesh of his friend. — Jeremiah 19:9
“And the king said unto her, What aileth thee? And she answered, This woman said unto me, Give thy son, that we may eat him to day, and we will eat my son to morrow. So we boiled my son, and did eat him: and I said unto her on the next day, Give thy son, that we may eat him: and she hath hid her son….” (II Kings 6:28-29)
“Behold with a great plague will the LORD smite thy people and thy children, and thy wives, and all thy goods: And thou shalt have great sickness by disease of thy bowels, until thy bowels fall out by reason of the sickness day by day.” (II Chronicles 21:14-15)
Shun those who disagree with your religious views. Romans 16:17
Paul, knowing that their faith would crumble if subjected to free and critical inquiry, tells his followers to avoid philosophy. Colossians 2:8
“And after all this the LORD smote him in his bowels with an incurable disease. And it came to pass, that in process of time, after the end of two years, his bowels fell out by reason of sickness: so he died of sore diseases. And his people made no burning for him, like the burning of his fathers.” (II Chronicles 12:18-19)
“How shall we do for wives for them that remain?….. And the congregation sent thither twelve thousand men of the valiantest, and commanded them, saying, Go and smite the inhabitants of Jabesh-gilead with the edge of the sword, with the woman and the children. And this is the thing that ye shall do. Ye shall utterly destroy every male, and every woman that hath lain by man. And they found among the inhabitants of Jabesh-gilead four hundred young virgins, that had known no man by lying by any male; and they brought them unto the camp to Shiloh, and they gave them wives which they had saved alive of the women of Jabesh-gilead.” Judges 21:7,12
“Let your fountain be blessed, and rejoice in the wife of your youth, as a long hind and a graceful doe, let her breasts satisfy you at all times.” Proverbs 5:18-19
“Your stature is like a palm tree, and your breasts are like its clusters. I said, ‘I will climb the palm tree. I will take hold of its fruit stalks.’ Oh may your breasts be like clusters of the vine

Open Question: How to help my sick dog?
My 11 yr old king Charles Spaniel is not so good. he is seeing a vet.
He had a cancerous lump removed from his backside late last year, then had 4 treatments of radiotherapy. He has an enlarged heart and a murmur that is being treated successfully with 2 drugs.
(Fortek and Vetmedin)
Early this year he started having what we called “fits”. ONLY when he was sleeping or just waking. He falls to the side, twitch/spasm his legs 5-6 secs then gives a weird noise half howl half cry, spasm again for 10 secs then “wakes up” vet did blood test and he was low red cell. Since we have established he is not producing new red cells and is currently at CPV of 20 (from lab - in-house was 15) Vet also put on predisnolone.
He has put on 2 kilos, vet says due to medication making him feel hungry. My dog is now very lethargic and not eating. Vet wants us to put him to sleep but he is still alert and wagging his tail and we can’t just yet. vet thinks bone marrow cancer, but my dog will probably not make it through the test to be sure. Has anybody had a dog that had such “fits” if so what was the diagnosis and treatment? Any alternative remedies for the bone marrow cancer? Anyone used chemo drugs for similar case? Please help.

Open Question: What do you think of my piece of writing? Improvements?
The first thing of which she became conscious was the presence of the symphony. The astounding harmony was not presented merely before her stationary form, but from all directions surrounding her. The orchestra around her, consisting of the idling, amiable murmur of lounging breezes through nearby verdure, the hollow, fulfilling hum of the pan flute, and the regular, galvanizing lapping of waves from afar, sounded a perfect, melodious tune in synchronisation; not a single hint of cacophony seeped into its rhythm.
As her shrouded mind began to disencumber, to slowly, surely ameliorate, she next became aware of the essence of the place. The ever-more prominent scent of immaculately taintless sea breezes carried from the coast collided entrancingly with that of the nearby flora; sweet, and yet hardly overwhelming, merely enticingly refreshing. The warm aroma of baking confectionaries was carried aloft, and it swept over her amidst slight northern gusts.
The ground beneath her was exceptionally delicate; not at all as rigid or as unyielding as that she had fallen asleep upon. Though notably ductile, it seemed to support her with exceptional ease. Amongst the frail northerly winds, things passed over her face that she was able to notice, due to the red hue percolating through her eyelids turning darker in the presence of shadows, and soon afterwards disappearing once more. Upon her cheeks, the sun had rested, leaving them feeling tepid; warmed and agreeable. Senses hastily sharpening, she was able to feel the reeds, which she presumed to be supporting her, brush against her bare legs, leaving a bizarrely pleasant tickle where it touched, and the grass against the cheek she pressed to the ground, as if turning to embrace it.
Anticipation welling inside her chest, she let her eyelids flutter open.
It seemed as if the sky, though exceptionally clear, was the same sky that she had fallen asleep under. This inflicted upon her not feelings of disappointment, but feelings of immense safety. Despite this, she was aware of a different environment, and an approaching presence. She sat forth, eyeing what seemed to be a supportive bed of duckweeds, each one elegantly entwined into another to form a complex embroidery stitch. For some considerable meters, all that surrounded her and the natural bedding were fields upon fields of duckweeds. Then, some distance further, a steep drop. The reeds scattered forth like an ocean, she thought, but offering protection and comfort. She swivelled her torso around, surveying the area that she found herself within. It seemed as though she were stranded on an island, perhaps one kilometre in circumference.
She leapt from the bed with caution, her bare feet braced for roots, yet finding a yielding layer of cotton. Caught off guard, she fell onto her knees. The cotton, she pondered rather absentmindedly, was the finest, softest fabric that had ever graced her touch, yet tout and formidable. As she crawled, it moulded to the shape of her hand as she applied pressure, and sprang loyally back afterwards.
Nearing the edge of the platform, the tiresome, tedious journey through the sunken cotton and looming duckweeds coming to an anticipated end, she shut her eyes once more.
Within the notable claustrophobia of her closed eyes, her other senses she felt became sharper, more precise. She listened intently. Over the aforementioned melody of sounds, she heard a new sound; a new, rhythmic bass beat to the tune of her surroundings. Like a steadily palpitating heart, or the laboured beating of wings too heavy for their pennated proprietor. And with each beat, a faint sigh of electric release.
Still crawling, almost as if she had been programmed subconsciously to do so, her hand grasped for ground that was no longer beneath it. She opened her eyes with a slight start, and stared from aback, mouth agape, at the mechanised creature presenting itself before her.
It was a bird; a winged beast of pure steel. Vivacious and brilliant, its coat of silver reflected not just the girl, but the morning sun dawning hesitantly overhead. Feathers closer to layered scales, though perfectly shaped and patterned as extravagant as those of a peacock opening to the dawn, appeared so heavy and cumbersome, and yet were dancing with the wind, performing an intricate, confounding tango. With a wingspan of around what appeared to be five feet or so, several joints moved in incredible succession to keep the metal bird afloat amid the clouds. Tilting one wing forth, it beckoned her upon it. She put a hand to its back, expecting a benumbing chill, but instead a much deeper warmth to the touch, as if there were a functional, steadily beating heart within it. Perhaps there was.
And though they seemed weightless as they flew, in the harsh grip of reality, all that subsisted was a girl with her head in the clouds.

Resolved Question: Do I sound like I have Marfan’s Syndrome?
My grandfather was one of 12, 7 of his sisters had it… so it’s in my gene pool. I’ve never been tested for it or anything but my doctor mentions it once in a while. I’m 13, I’m 5′11” I weigh 150 pounds. I have random stretch marks even though I’m very athletic and not overweight/fat, I’ve been tested for asthma but I do not have it even though I can’t breathe very well when exercising (and I am in shape, I run a lot). I have very long toes and fingers, too. I’ve always been tall. My knees and hips hurt all the time, I have one flat foot and minor scoliosis (nothing that is too severe or needs to be treated… just a curved spine that causes me to be sore at points), plus I have a weird undiagnosed “heart murmur” in which I can feel at random times.
But yeah… do I sound like I have it?
I’m so scared that I do.
I know it’s not a big deal or anything… But I don’t want to NOT be able to have boyfriends and get married and have children because no one wants to marry a genetic freak. I want to be normal! I want to be able to have children without difficulty and I want men to find me attractive.. not a genetic mishap! What are the treatments? :’(

Open Question: Is an antibiotic necessary after a tooth extraction?
I recently had a tooth extracted. Afterward I asked the dentist for an antibiotic. My understanding was that this was standard procedure after an extraction in order to prevent heart infection. The dentist told me that this practice was discontinued in 2008. Does anyone know if the ADA has officially stated this change in procedure? If so, have they stated exceptions such as if you have a heart murmur? Please state sources.

Open Question: does being sexually abused cause endometriosis?
I didn’t want to have sex and I told him to stop, thats when he rammed inside me so hard that i kicked him off of me. wasnt bleeding, i think he tore something inside. I couldn’t walk nicely for 5 years after and always had constant pain, especially my boobs. my broken heart didn’t like food so i was pretty malnutritioned. i knew if i ate it would put on weight and would hurt more to do things and walk. so i was wondering if that was a trigger for my disease. the disease feels like it cleaning out my body and making me a stronger woman.
