4.10: structure and language: "fern hill" and "nothing gold can stay" 1 is "can i see a falling tear, / and not feel my sorrows share? " 2it connects the stanzas and shows how the speaker feels about reaching out to those who grieve. 3he felt powerful and important. 4the beauty of dawn is short like the happy times in life that people should value. 5it creates a negative mood, as if blake is warning the reader of potential dangers ahead.

Fern Hill is a poem published by the Welsh writer Dylan Thomas in 1945 as a part of Horizon Magazine. Later, the piece was included in the same author’s poem’s recompilation Deaths and Entrances. On the other hand, “Nothing gold can stay” is another poem published by the American poet Robert Frost in 1923 as a part of The Yale Review; later the same text was published in New Hampshire collection.

Related to both of the two verses that we have: "Can I see a falling tear, / And not feel my sorrows share?" we can say that the correct option is the second one: “It connects the stanzas and shows how the speaker feels about reaching out to those who grieve” because the meaning of the words TEAR and SORROWS and how they share meanings related to an emotional state. Thus, it is important to the authors to express how they feel and how sometimes it is hard to not find comfort and help in relatives.

The third option is not applicable due to, according to the meanings that we have already said, the author cannot be feeling powerful, on the contrary, the mood of the verses is more related to sadness and powerless. The fourth option is also not correct due to it express the contrary feelings that the excerpt expresses. Finally, the fifth option is not correct since Blake isn’t one of the authors involved in the creation of the stanzas.

1. read the following excerpt from franklin d. roosevelt's "fireside chat 19":

on the other side of the picture, we must learn also to know that guerilla warfare against the germans in, let us say serbia or norway, us; that a successful russian offensive against the germans us; and that british successes on land or sea in any part of the world strengthen our hands.

remember always that germany and italy, regardless of any formal declaration of war, consider themselves at war with the united states at this moment just as much as they consider themselves at war with britain or russia. and germany puts all the other republics of the americas into the same category of enemies. the people of our sister republics of this hemisphere can be honored by that fact.  

the true goal we seek is far above and beyond the ugly field of battle. when we resort to force, as now we must, we are determined that this force shall be directed toward ultimate good as well as against immediate evil. we americans are not destroyers — we are builders.
