Duty 1. Poetry

Publish : By Nizar Qabbani
Written in : 1950
Title : When I Love

When i love
i feel that i am the king of time
i possess the earth and everything on it
and ride into the sun upon my horse.

When i love
i become liquid light
invisible to the eye
and the poems in my notebooks
become fields of mimosa and poppy

When i love
the water gushes from my fingers
grass grows on my tongue
when i love
i become time outside all time.

When i love a woman
all the trees
run barefoot toward me...

Summary:

The poetry tell about the man like with a woman, and then the man always dream with the woman, and he feel happy when he like a girl.

Duty 2. English literature

Summary:

1. English literature is literature from the United Kingdom, the Isle of Man and the Channel Islands. By far the largest part of this literature is written in the English language, but there are also separate literatures in Latin, Welsh, Scottish Gaelic, Scots, Cornish, Manx, Jerriais, Guernesiais and other languages. Northern Ireland is the only part of Ireland still part of the United Kingdom and it possesses literature in English, Ulster Scots and Irish. Irish writers have also played an important part in the development of English-language literature.

2. The term English literature refers to literature written in the English language, including literature composed in English by writers not necessarily from England; Joseph Conrad was Polish, Robert Burns was Scottish, James Joyce was Irish, Dylan Thomas was Welsh, Edgar Allan Poe was American, Salman Rushdie is Indian, V.S. Naipaul was born in Trinidad, Vladimir Nabokov was Russian. In other words, English literature is as diverse as the varieties and dialects of English spoken around the world.In academia, the term often labels departement and programmes practising English Studies in secondary and tertiary educational systems.
