Helen Grey
By Christina Georgina Rossetti
Because one loves you Helen Grey
Is that a reason you should pout
And like a March wind vee about
And frown and say your shrewish say?
Dont strain the cord until it snaps
Dont split the sound heart with your wedge
Dont cut your fingers with the edge
Of your keen wit you may perhaps
Because you're handsome, Helen Grey
is that a reason to be proud?
Your eyes are bold your laugh is loud,
Your steps go mincing on their way
But so you miss that modest charm
Which is the surest charm of all
Take heed, you yet may trip and fall
And no mancare to stretch his arm
Stoop from your cold height, Helen Grey
Come down, and take a lower place
Come down, to fill it now with grace
Come down you must perforce some day:
For years connot be kept at bay.
And fading years will make you old.
Then in their turn will men seem cold.
When you yourself are nipped and grey

Which text from "Helen Grey explicitly describes Helen's behavior?

Read the passage first of all if someone says your dream is impossible, they’re wrong. you can’t prove that something is impossible-all you know is that[it] hasn’t been done yet. people said no one could scale mount everest but in 1953, sir edmund hilary and tenzing norway gazed down upon the world from it’s summit. people said that man could not fly, but in 1903, orville and wilbur wright made the first sustained powered flight in a heavier-than-air machine. people said, “okay, we admit that someone could climb mount everest, and we admit that man has learned to fly, but no one will ever, ever walk on the face of the moon.” if we can send three men a quarter of a million miles away and bring them home safely, is there any great task we cannot accomplish? which identifies the textual evidence that best supports the claim: the authors purpose is to persuade? a: the author shares historical information about the wright brothers. b: the author states that men have walked the moon. c: the author states that others who think your dreams are impossible are wrong. d: the author wants to know what tasks we cannot accomplish.
