143 Being banished from Boeotia, Athamas inquired of the god where he should dwell, and on receiving an oracle that he should dwell in whatever place he should be entertained by wild beasts, he traversed a great extent of country till he fell in with wolves that were
devouring
pieces of sheep; but when they saw him they abandoned their prey and fled.
| Guess: |
devouring |
| Question: |
Did he eat the prey? Did other beasts entertain him? How did Athamas react when the wolves abandoned their prey and fled upon seeing him? |
| Answer: |
So Athamas settled in that country and named it Athamantia after himself; and he married Themisto, daughter of Hypseus,144 and begat Leucon, Erythrius, Schoeneus, and Ptous. |

| Question: |
What is the significance of Pallas being described as both "ineffable and effable" in this passage? |
| Answer: |
The significance of Pallas being described as both "ineffable and effable" in this passage is that it acknowledges her divine and mortal qualities. "Ineffable" means that her divine nature is beyond words and description, while "effable" means that her mortal nature can be described and communicated. |

| Answer: |
The poet is asking Caecilius to come to Verona, leaving behind the walls of his hometown and the shore of Larius, so that they can discuss some thoughts he has about their respective loves. The poet wants Caecilius to hear his thoughts and offer his own perspective, even if it means going against the wishes of a beautiful woman who might try to stop him. The poet believes that his friend Caecilius is in love and hopes to talk to him about it. He also mentions a woman named Dindymene who has caused him and other men to feel strong emotions of love. The poet apologizes to Sappho, who is more learned than him, for starting a poem about Caecilius' mother but not finishing it. |

I am not the first who has dared to approach you in the Shades; for just
after your own death the author of “Les Dialogues des
Morts”
gave you
Paracelsus as a companion, and the author of “Le Jugement de Pluton” made
the “mighty warder” decide that “Molière should not talk philosophy.

寒山詩
HS 41
生前大愚癡,
不為今日悟。
今日如許貧,
4 總是前生作。 今日又不修, 來生還如故。 兩岸各無船,
8 渺渺難濟渡。 HS 42
璨璨盧家女,
舊來名莫愁。
貪乘摘花馬,
4 樂搒采蓮舟。 膝坐綠熊席, 身披青鳳裘。 哀傷百年內,
8 不免歸山丘。

Distress
I don't come to conquer your flesh tonight, O beast
In whom are the sins of the race, nor to stir
In your foul tresses a mournful tempest
Beneath the fatal boredom my kisses pour:
A heavy sleep
without
those dreams that creep
Under curtains alien to remorse, I ask of your bed,
Sleep you can savour after your dark deceits,
You who know more of Nothingness than the dead.

Why is K no longer surprised? |

The Trial by Franz Kafka |

It is not otherwise
improbable that the palace of
Menelaus
should not be at Sparta; and if
it was not there, that Telemachus should say,
“for I am going to Sparta, and to Pylus,”[155]
for this seems to agree with the epithets applied to the country,[156]
unless indeed any one should allow this to be a poetical licence; for,
if Messenia was a part of Laconia, it would be a contradiction that
Messene should not be placed together with Laconia, or with Pylus,
(which was under the command of Nestor,) nor by itself in the Catalogue
of Ships, as though it had no part in the expedition.

Chor: Thy words to my remembrance bring
How Succoth and the Fort of Penuel
Thir great Deliverer contemn'd,
The matchless Gideon in pursuit 280
Of Madian and her vanquisht Kings;
And how
ingrateful
Ephraim
Not worse then by his shield and spear
Had dealt with Jephtha, who by argument,
Defended Israel from the Ammonite,
Had not his prowess quell'd thir pride
In that sore battel when so many dy'd
Without Reprieve adjudg'd to death,
For want of well pronouncing Shibboleth.

Swift - A Letter of Advice to a Young Poet |

She runs from tree to tree where lie and sweeten
The
windfalls
spiked with stubble and worm-eaten.
| Guess: |
Apples |
| Question: |
Why is she running from tree to tree where the windfalls lie and sweeten? |
| Answer: |
She is running from tree to tree where the windfalls lie and sweeten because she is a cow that has tasted the fruit and now scorns the pasture withering to the root, inspired to think no more of wall-builders than fools. |
