And all the time in Caverns shut, the golden Looms erected
First spun, then wove the Atmospheres, there the Spider & Worm
Plied the wingd shuttle piping shrill thro' all the list'ning threads
Beneath the Caverns roll the weights of lead & spindles of iron
The enormous warp & woof rage direful in the affrighted deep
While far into the vast unknown, the strong wing'd Eagles bend
Their
venturous
flight, in Human forms distinct; thro darkness deep
They bear the woven draperies; on golden hooks they hang abroad
The universal curtains & spread out from Sun to Sun
The vehicles of light, they separate the furious particles
Into mild currents as the water mingles with the wine.

In solemn places high,
Where the tall pines bend like rushes
When the storm goes sweeping by;
Yet give the strength of foot they learned
By perilous path and flood,
And from their blue-eyed mothers won,
The old, mysterious blood;
The daring that the good south wind
Into their nostrils blew,
And the proud swelling of the heart
With each pure breath they drew;
The graces of the

With flowers in summer gay;
And all the glories of the hills

Deficient. |
| Question: |
Why does he sometimes think she is deficient in understanding and at other times believe her temper is the problem? |
| Answer: |
He sometimes thinks she is deficient in understanding and at other times believes her temper is the problem because Lady Susan has been manipulating his judgment and trying to make him believe that Frederica is to blame for her own actions. Additionally, Miss Summers' testimony contradicts Lady Susan's claims, making it difficult for Reginald to fully trust either side. |

The willow leaves
Silverly
stir on the breath of moving water,
Birch-leaves, beyond them, twinkle, and there on the hill,
And the hills beyond again, and the highest hill,
Serrated pines, in the dusk, grow almost black.

Meredith - Poems |
|
Along the reaches of the street
Held in a lunar synthesis,
Whispering
lunar incantations
Disolve the floors of memory
And all its clear relations,
Its divisions and precisions,
Every street lamp that I pass
Beats like a fatalistic drum,
And through the spaces of the dark
Midnight shakes the memory
As a madman shakes a dead geranium.
