Baudelaire - Biographical Essay |

A vida contemplativa, para sequer existir, tem que considerar os acidentes objetivos como premissas dispersas de uma conclusão inatingível; mas tem ao mesmo tempo que considerar as contingências do sonho como em certo modo dignas daquela
atenção
a elas, pela qual nos tornamos contemplativos.
| Guess: |
atenção |
| Question: |
Why does the contemplative life need to consider both objective accidents and dream contingencies in order to exist? |
| Answer: |
The contemplative life needs to consider both objective accidents and dream contingencies in order to exist because, as the passage suggests, recognizing both reality and illusion is equally necessary and equally useless. Objective accidents represent the reality that cannot be fully grasped, while dream contingencies represent the illusions that offer different perspectives to approach life. The contemplative life requires considering both aspects, as each provides a way to renew and enrich one's experiences and interactions with the universe. This enables the contemplative spirit to access the entire universe, even if it has never left its village, and find infinity within a cell, a desert, or a stone. |

What is called the 'educa-

with difficulty; and even if a system of universal
compulsory education be applied, they can only
be reached outwardly: those individual lower levels
where, generally speaking, the masses come into
contact with culture, where the people nourishes
its religious instinct, where it poetises its mytho-
logical images, where it keeps up its faith in its
customs, privileges, native soil, and language—all
these levels can
scarcely

Why do many people lose faith in life after experiencing bitter failures and being harmed by malicious people? |
| Answer: |
Many people lose faith in life because they have experienced bitter failures and have been harmed by malicious people. They believe that no one in this world is sincere, and all kind words and actions are just hypocritical performances. This belief makes them not care about maintaining or building relationships in life, leading to living recklessly, without concern for the consequences, or isolating themselves, living in fear and mistrust of others. Some even seek salvation in a higher power in hopes of being saved to a world without deceit. |

| Question: |
How does a Hebrew shrug? |
| Answer: |
The shrug is described as "pure Hebraic" because it suggests a gesture or attitude associated with Jewish culture or language. In this context, it may refer to a sense of resignation or acceptance of one's fate, which contrasts with the earlier description of the speaker as a "blithe Hellene," or carefree Greek. The line highlights the cultural shift and inner conflict experienced by the speaker in the poem. |

Why does the increase in the real value of money not result in the whole addition being paid by the landlords and the industrious classes? |
| Answer: |
The increase in the real value of money does not result in the whole addition being paid by the landlords and the industrious classes because the stockholder also contributes to the support of the public burdens through their expenditure. If money becomes more valuable, the stockholder would receive a greater value, but they would also pay a greater value in taxes. Thus, it cannot be true that the entire addition to the real value of the interest would be paid exclusively by the landlords and the industrious classes. |

Our Life
We'll not reach the goal one by one but in pairs
We know in pairs we will know all about us
We'll love everything our children will smile
At the dark history or mourn alone
Uninterrupted Poetry
From the sea to the source
From mountain to plain
Runs the phantom of life
The foul shadow of death
But between us
A dawn of ardent flesh is born
And exact good
that sets the earth in order
We advance with calm step
And nature salutes us
The day embodies our colours
Fire our eyes the sea our union
And all living resemble us
All the living we love
Imaginary the others
Wrong and defined by their birth
But we must struggle against them
They live by dagger blows
They speak like a broken chair
Their lips tremble with joy
At the echo of leaden bells
At the muteness of dark gold
A lone heart not a heart
A lone heart all the hearts
And the bodies every star
In a sky filled with stars
In a career in movement
Of light and of glances
Our weight shines on the earth
Glaze of desire
To sing of human shores
For you the living I love
And for all those that we love
That have no desire but to love
I'll end truly by barring the road
Afloat with
enforced
dreams
I'll end truly by finding myself
We'll take possession of earth
Index of First Lines
I speak to you over cities
Easy and beautiful under
Between all my torments between death and self
She is standing on my eyelids
In one corner agile incest
For the splendour of the day of happinesses in the air
After years of wisdom
Run and run towards deliverance
Life is truly kind
What's become of you why this white hair and pink
A face at the end of the day
By the road of ways
All the trees all their branches all of their leaves
Adieu Tristesse
Woman I've lived with
Fertile Eyes
I said it to you for the clouds
It's the sweet law of men
The curve of your eyes embraces my heart
On my notebooks from school
I have passed the doors of coldness
I am in front of this feminine land
We'll not reach the goal one by one but in pairs
From the sea to the source

| Question: |
Why did we easily place our trust in someone due to our affection, emotional attachment, and desire to possess them? |
| Answer: |
We easily placed our trust in someone due to our affection, emotional attachment, and desire to possess them because these feelings can create a sense of favoritism and emotional connection that can cloud our judgment. This type of trust can be shallow, blind, and often occurs in people who like to rely on others. |

| Question: |
Why is failure considered the "mother of success" in this sentence? |
| Answer: |
Failure is considered the "mother of success" in this sentence because it implies that success is often built on past failures. The learnings gained, skills practiced, experiences, and knowledge accumulated during the times of failure are then used effectively in succeeding tasks. Thus, success stands on the shoulders of past failures, and it is important to acknowledge that there is no enduring success without initial small failures. |

| Question: |
Why can't they ultimately bear and solve the deadlock difficulties within themselves? |
| Answer: |
They ultimately cannot bear and solve the deadlock difficulties within themselves because they have not had any personal experience, heavily rely on teachings, and only turn to others for help when they can no longer bear the difficulties themselves. Due to this dependence, they become weaker and tend to not rely on their own strength, making it nearly impossible for them to resolve their own struggles. |

These were the views
which Gordon publicly expressed on January 9th and on January 14th; and
it certainly seems strange that on January 10th and on January 14th,
Lord Granville should have proposed, without a word of
consultation
with
Gordon himself, to send him on a mission which involved, not the
reconquest, but the abandonment of the Sudan; Gordon, indeed, when he
was actually approached by Lord Wolseley, had apparently agreed to
become the agent of a policy which was exactly the reverse of his own.

Necessity

Antipathies--but to recur, ere long,
Envenomed with irrevocable wrong;
And Circumstance, that unspiritual god
And miscreator, makes and helps along
Our coming evils with a crutch-like rod,
Whose touch turns hope to dust--the dust we all have trod.
