1. Explain any two of the excerpts of poems given below with reference to their context: 10 X 2 = 20
(i) Oh there is blessing in this gentle breeze,
A visitant that while it fans my cheek
Doth seem half conscious of the joy it brings
From the green fields, and from yon azure sky.
(ii) We sat grown quiet at the name of love;
We saw the last embers of daylight die,
And in the trembling blue-green of the sky
A moon, worn as if it had been a shell
Washed by time’s waters as they rose and fell
About the stars and broke in days and years.
(iii) All humane things are subject to decay,
And, when Fate summons, Monarchs must obey:
(iv) And thereupon
That beautiful mild woman for whose sake
There’s many a one shall find out all heartache
On finding that her voice is sweet and low
Replied, ‘To be born woman is to kno,,rr-
Although they do not talk of it at school-
That we must labour to be beautiful.’
(v) Tyger! Tyger! burning bright,
In the forests of the night,
What immortal hand or eye,
Dare frame thy fearful symmetry
(vi) I wonder by my troth, what thou, and I
Did, till we lov’d? were we not wean’d till
then?
But suck’d on countrey pleasures, childishly?
Or snorted we i’ the seaven sleepers den?
