In this excerpt from A. E. Housman's "To an Athlete Dying Young," which stanza emphasizes the theme that fame and prestige are temporary?

Smart lad, to slip betimes away

From fields where glory does not stay,

And early though the laurel grows

It withers quicker than the rose.

Explanation:

A. E. Housman's elegy "To an Athlete Dying Young" talks of the mortality of man and how everything is insignificant in front of death. The poem deals with the themes of victory, death, transience, youth, etc.

From the first four stanzas of the poem, the third stanza emphasizes temporary fame and prestige. In this stanza, the speaker reveals how "glory does not stay" and "though the laurel grows, it withers quicker than the rose." These two lines seem to signal the temporary nature of fame and prestige, which all seem insignificant and useless when a person dies.

in "letter from a birmingham jail," king argues that there are four basic steps in any nonviolent campaign: "[c]ollection of the facts to determine whether injustices exist; negotiation; self purification; and direct action." finally, direct action is taken and acts such as boycotts and sit-ins are staged.
