Two in the Campagna

I wonder how you feel to-day

As I have felt since, hand in hand,

We sat down on the grass, to stray

In spirit better through the land,

This morn of Rome and May?

For me, I touched a thought, I know,

Has tantalized me many times,

(Like turns of thread the spiders throw

Mocking across our path) for rhymes

To catch at and let go.

Help me to hold it! First it left

The yellow fennel, run to seed

There, branching from the brickwork's cleft,

Some old tomb's ruin: yonder weed

Took up the floating weft,

Where one small orange cup amassed

Five beetles, -blind and green they grope

Among the honey meal: and last,

Everywhere on the grassy slope

O traced it. Hold it fast!

The Champaign with its endless fleece

Of feathery grasses everywhere!

Silence and passion, joy and peace,

An everlasting wash of air-

Rome's ghost since her decease.

Such life here, through such lengths of hours,

Such miracles performed in play,

Such primal naked forms of flowers,

Such letting nature have her way

While heaven looks from its towers!

How say you? Let us, O my dove,

Let us be unashamed of soul,

As earth lies bare to heaven above!

How is it under our control?

To love or not to love?

I would that you were all to me,

You that is just so much, no more.

Nor yours nor mine, nor slave nor free!

Where does the fault lie? What the core

O' the wound, since wound must be?

I would I could adopt your will,

See with your eyes, and set my heart

Beating by yours, and drink my fill

At your soul's springs, - your part my part

In life, for good and ill.

No. I yearn upward, touch you close,

Then stand away. I kiss your cheek,

Catch your soul's warmth, - I pluck the rose

And love it more than tongue can speak-

Then the good minute goes.

Already how am I so far

Our of that minute? Must I go

Still like the thistle-ball, no bar,

Onward, whenever light winds blow,

Fixed by no friendly star?

Just when I seemed about to learn!

Where is the thread now? Off again!

The Old trick! Only I discern-

Infinite passion and the pain

Of finite hearts that yearn.

Summary     :

This represents one of Browning's more abstract poems. Returning to some of the themes developed in "Porphyria's Lover," albeit in a very different context, "Two in the Campagna" explores the fleeting nature of love and ideas. The speaker regrets that, just as he cannot ever perfectly capture an idea, he cannot achieve total communion with his lover, despite the helpful erotic suggestions of nature. Though our hearts be finite, we yearn infinitely; the resulting pain serves as a reminder of human limitations.

Porphyria's Lover

The rain set early in tonight,

The sullen wind was soon awake,

It tore the elm-tops down for spite,

And did its worst to vex the lake:

I listened with heart fit to break.

When glided in Porphyria; straight

She shut the cold out and the storm,

And kneeled and made the cheerless grate

Blaze up and all the cottage warm;

Which done, she rose, and from her form

Withdrew the dripping cloak and shawl,

And laid her soiled gloves by, untied

Her hat and let the damp hair fall,

And, last, she sat down by my side

And called me. When no voice replied,

She put my arm about her waist,

And made her smooth white shoulder bare,

And all her yellow hair displaced,

And, stooping, made my cheek lie there,

And spread, o'er all, her yellow hair,

Murmuring how she loved me--she

Too weak, for all her heart's endeavor,

To set its struggling passion free

From pride, and vainer ties dissever,

And give herself to me forever.

But passion sometimes would prevail,

Nor could tonight's gay feast restrain

A sudden thought of one so pale

For love of her and all in vain:

So, she was come through wind and rain.

Be sure I looked up at her eyes

Happy and proud; at last I knew

Porphyria worshiped me: surprise

Made my heart swell and still it grew

While I debated what to do.

That moment she was mine, mine, fair,

Perfectly pure and good: I found

A thing to do, and all her hair

In one long yellow string I wound

Three times her little throat around,

And strangled her. No pain felt she;

I am quite sure she felt no pain.

As a shut bud that holds a bee,

I warily oped her lids: again

Laughed the blue eyes without a stain.

And I enlightened next the tress

About her neck; her cheek once more

Blushed bright beneath my burning kiss:

I propped her head up as before

Only, this time my shoulder bore

Her head, which droops upon it still:

The smiling rosy little head,

So glad it has its utmost will,

That all it scorned at once is fled,

And I, its love, am gained instead!

Porphyria's love: she guessed not how

Her darling one wish would be heard.

And thus we sit together now,

And all night long we have not stirred,

And yet God has not said a word!

Summary :

Porphyria's Lover, which first appeared in 1836, is one of the earliest and most shocking of Browning's dramatic monologues. The speaker lives in a cottage in the countryside. His lover, a blooming young woman named Porphyria, comes in out of a storm and proceeds to make a fire and bring cheer to the cottage. She embraces the speaker, offering him her bare shoulder. He tells us that he does not speak to her. Instead, he says, she begins to tell him how she has momentarily overcome societal strictures to be with him. He realizes that she "worship[s]" him at this instant. Realizing that she will eventually give in to society's pressures, and wanting to preserve the moment, he wraps her hair around her neck and strangles her. He then toys with her corpse, opening the eyes and propping the body up against his side. He sits with her body this way the entire night, the speaker remarking that God has not yet moved to punish him.

Home-Thoughts, From Abroad

Oh, to be in England,

Now that April's there,

And whoever wakes in England

Sees, some morning, unaware,

That the lowest boughs and the brushwood sheaf

Round the elm-tree bole are in tiny leaf,

While the chaffinch sings on the orchard bough In England - now!

And after April, when May follows,

And the whitethroat builds, and all the swallows -

Hark! Where my blossomed pear-tree in the hedge

Leans to the field and scatters on the clover

Blossoms and dewdrops - at the bent spray's edge -

That's the wise thrush; he sings each song twice over,

Lest you should think he never could recapture

The first fine careless rapture!

And though the fields look rough with hoary dew,

All will be gay when noontide wakes anew

The buttercups, the little children's dower,

-        Far brighter than this gaudy melon-flower!

Summary :

"Home-Thoughts, From Abroad" celebrates the everyday and the domestic, taking the form of a short lyric. The poet casts himself in the role of the homesick traveler, longing for every detail of his beloved home. At this point in his career, Browning had spent quite a bit of time in Italy, so perhaps the longing for England has a bit of biographical urgency attached to it. The poem describes a typical springtime scene in the English countryside, with birds singing and flowers blooming. Browning tries to make the ordinary magical, as he describes the thrush's ability to recreate his transcendental song over and over again.

Memorabilia

Ah, did you once see Shelley plain,

And did he stop and speak to you?

And did you speak to him again?

How strange it seems, and new!

But you were living before that,

And you are living after,

And the memory I started at--

My starting moves your laughter!

I crossed a moor, with a name of its own

And a certain use in the world no doubt,

Yet a hand's-breadth of it shines alone

'Mid the blank miles round about:

For there I picked up on the heather

And there I put inside my breast

A moulted feather, an eagle-feather--

Well, I forget the rest.

Summary :

According to historical anecdote, this poem stems from an encounter Browning had with a person who had once met the poet Percy Bysshe Shelley (Shelley died quite young, when Browning himself was only ten). Browning reacted with awe when the man described his meeting with the famed poet, and the man is said to have laughed at him for this reaction. This short lyric relates Browning's feelings about this encounter to his feelings at walking across a moor and finding an eagle's feather.

Sonnet for Ann Isabella

When I reflect upon my vain conceit

And wonder why I praise my skill in duel,

This boasting, to my ears, sounds harsh and cruel

For out of hauteur I have found defeat.

So removed from right, who could I entreat

That would not call me villain, or a fool?

A noble head and gentle heart must rule,

A child’s smile o’er prize is the greater feat.

I claim no right to that, which I am held,

Yet such a fame may I forever seek

To earn the mark which she believes I own.

My sojourn ends only when I am kill’s,

And my reward is but to grow more weeks,

That I might bear my unworthy renown.

THE FLY

Little fly

Thy summers play,

My thoughtless hand

Has brushed away

Am not I

A fly like thee?

Or art not thou

A man like me?

For a dance

And drink and sing

Till some blind hand

Shall brush my wing.

And strength and breath;

And the want

Of thought is death;

Then am I

A happy fly,

If I live,

Or if I die.

Comment :

I think this poem is very good because the story lyric not and verbiage continue, besides the poem is also easy to be understood, comprehend and digested, groove the poem according to I also very good. The title is also hardly simple and easy to be understood, comprehended by me and possible also others, because title only one word that is fly. And the story nor digress from the title becoming this poem only narrate one topic that is fly. And this poem also in character shortened, clearly and compact, what facilitating I to comprehend this poem and understand content which written in this poem better although not yet too perfection but the purposes and objectives InsyaAllah I can understand.

Experience :

I have never experienced this as of case occurrence, and have never regretted life which has been given by God to me. What is given by God that is which I experiencing patiently and full of temptation and challenge. Although I have ever experienced is people taking a fancy to I but in life of me, I have never regretted if is people liking but I considering to be temptation and I also have to arrest; detain itself so that I frown upon it with in. and don't complicate the problem. And assume this problem as problem of big not because every man surely experienced and answer to him with different each mind. So fair that in human life.

“Biography of Sir Walter Raleigh”

Raleigh mixed scholarship with soldiering from an early age, fighting on the Protestant side in the French Wars of religion before attending Oriel College, Oxford. In 1580 his courage and outspoken manner distinguished him in a campaign against Irish rebels in Munster, and he soon attracted the attention of Elizabeth I.

He became the Queen's favorite at court, receiving a knighthood in 1585 as well as numerous other favours, and huge estates in Ireland. He took part in many expeditions abroad, including attempts to establish colonies in both North and South America, and several literary works resulted from these travels. Raleigh was a very cultured man, and a close friend of the poet Edmund Spenser, whom he met in Ireland in 1580. He was also linked with a group known as the 'School of Atheism', whose circle included Christopher Marlowe and George Chapman.

Raleigh’s fiery character ensured that his fortunes at court were very unstable; in 1592 a jealous Queen Elizabeth imprisoned him for a short time for marrying one of her maids of honor, Elizabeth Throckmorton. He eventually regained favour with Elizabeth, but his enemies successfully conspired against him when James I ascended the throne. Raleigh was convicted of treason and spent the next thirteen years in the Tower of London. He passed his time in prison by writing several books, including A Discourse of War and his History of the World. The History was intended for ordinary readers, not just experts, and its outspoken criticisms of unjust king’s amount to an indirect attack on James I.

In 1616 he was released from the Tower to lead a gold-hunting expedition to Guiana. The trip was his last chance to prove his worth to King James, but it was a spectacular disaster. Raleigh was struck down by a tropical fever and the officer he entrusted with command not only failed to find any gold, but attacked and burned a Spanish settlement, an action which had been strictly forbidden by the King. Raleigh’s eldest son was killed in the fighting, and the officer later committed suicide. Returning home in disgrace, Raleigh was beheaded outside Westminster Hall. The poem 'Even such is Time' is traditionally said to have been composed on the eve of his execution. ..

Summry of using websites

USING WEBSITES

Using websites in the classroom

In this chapter we look at the basic skill set needed for effective use of the Internet with your students and take a closer look at the process for introducing the Internet into your teaching.

Using website is one of the easiest and least stressful ways of getting started with technology in the classroom.

The web is a source of content which can be used as a window on the wider world outside your class, and is – of course – a readily available collection of authentic material.

Indeed, you can use wet pages in the classroom in a variety of ways:

· as printed pages, with no computers

· with one computer with an Internet connection

· in a computer lab with a set of networked and connected computers

ELT websites or authentic websites?

Authentic sites also provide an ideal opportunity to work through the issues of `total comprehension' that plenty of learners have to deal with at some point in their studies. They can be guided towards being comfortable with understanding the content of a site and identifying what they need to know or find out without getting bogged down in having to understand every word on the screen.

How to find useful websites

a. Search engines

b. Subject guide

c. Real language searches

How to evaluate websites

1. Accuracy

2. Currency

3. Content

4. Functionality

Planning lessons using the Internet

A movie star is a sample lesson plan based on this structure. You can use this as a template for your own planning. It is worth noting that there is nothing intrinsically different from the more traditional course book approach here – perhaps the major value of this material is its intrinsic motivational element: real actors being interviewed for a real programme. This, plus the contemporary nature of most website content, make the web an ideal source of material.

a. A lesson plan – Movie stars

b. Warmer

c. Web

d. What next

Working with lower levels of language proficiency

Choosing the right websites can go some way towards raising their comfort levels, though you may need to have shorter lesson than the higher level one described above. Websites which are more suitable for lower levels will include

· Websites with simple, clearly presented text.

· Websites with non-linguistic data which is easy to interpret (e.g. data in the form of a chart, such as a weather page).

· Websites with visuals – a task can be based around the visuals only.

· ELT websites, where the content has been written, edited and prepared with this audience in mind.

a. Borrowed words

This is a low-level lesson concentrating on different languages and the words they have contributed to English. The language areas covered are countries and languages.

b. Warmer

Ask your learners if they know of any words in their own language that have come from other languages. Build up a chart on the board. You may need to help with the English versions.

c. Web

Give each pair, some time to ask and answer the questions, and complete the table. Provide feedback on a model table on the board and help out with any vocabulary problems which `nay have arisen.

d. What next

An additional follow-up project idea is for learners to ‘collect’ English words they find ­in their environment, if they live in a non-English speaking country, e.g. English words on TV, or on advertising billboards and signs. These could be added to a poster in the classroom.

Web teaching dos and don'ts

Planning carefully and adopting a structured approach to the way you use websites in the classroom should give you the confidence to try out different ways of introducing your learners to Internet content.

Author : Lady Jane
Title : The death of king Henry VIII

Summary :

Upon the death of King Henry VIII, the matter of royal succession throws England into chaos. anxious to keep England true to the reformation, John Dudley, a protestant minister, arranges for the marriage of his son, Guildford (Cary Elwes) to Lady Jane Grey ( Helena Bonham carter), the king's fifteen year-old great niece. Although first hostile to each other, Guildford and Jane soon fall in love. However, their peace is threatened when Henry's legitimate daughter Princess Mary, by his first wife, the Catholic Catherine of Aragon, and her supporters rally around and crown her queen. The film chronicles, fairly accurately, Jane’s growth, during her extremely short reign, from a bookish intellectual to a confident and politically progressive young woman who refuses to conform to the religious hypocrisies of 16th Century England. I thing the story is very good, the story is easy to understand and the story continue. I did not have the same experience because the story it is about kingdom and I did not live in kingdom’s eavironment.
