They rise and vanish in oblivion's host,
Like shadows in love's frenzied stifled throes:--"
Hint

Thou need na start awa sae hasty,
Wi' bickering brattle!"
Hint


Question 6 of 15
6. "Ah, happy, happy boughs! that cannot shed
Your leaves, nor ever bid the spring adieu;
And, happy melodist, unwearied,
For ever piping songs for ever new;
More happy love! more happy, happy love!
For ever warm and still to be enjoy'd,
For ever panting, and for ever young;
All breathing human passion far above,
That leaves a heart high-sorrowful and cloy'd,
A burning forehead, and a parching tongue."
Hint


Question 7 of 15

To look on nature, not as in the hour

Not harsh nor grating, though of ample power
to chasten and subdue."
Hint


Question 8 of 15
8. "And on the pedestal these words appear:
My name is Ozymandius, King of Kings,
Look on my works, ye Mighty, and despair!
Nothing beside remains, Round the decay
Of that colossal Wreck, boundless and bare
The lone and level sands stretch far away."
Hint


Question 9 of 15
9. "I wandered lonely as a cloud
That floats on high o'er vales and hills,
When all at once I saw a crowd,
A host, of golden daffodils;
Beside the lake, beneath the trees,
Fluttering and dancing in the breeze."
Hint


Question 10 of 15

A stately pleasure dome decree:
Where Alph, the sacred river, ran
Through caverns measureless to man
Down to a sunless sea."
Hint


Question 11 of 15
11. Who wrote these lines:
"No voice from sublimer world hath ever
To sage or poet these responses given--
Therefore the name of God and ghosts and Heaven.
Remain the records fo their vain endeavour,
Frail spells--whose uttered charm might not avail to sever,
From all we hear and all we see,
Doubt, chance, and mutability."
Hint


Question 12 of 15

Before my pen has glean'd my teeming brain,
Before high piled books, in charactry,
Hold like rich garners the full ripen'd grain;"

Which I gaze on so fondly today,
Were to change by tomorrow, and fleet in my arms,
Like fairy-gifts fading away,
Thou would'st still be adored, as this moment thou art,
Let thy loveliness fade as it will,
And around the dear ruin each wish of my heart
Would entwine itself verdantly still."
Hint


Question 15 of 15
15. "And on that cheek, and o'er that brow,
So soft, so calm, yet eloquent,
The smiles that win, the tints that glow,
But tell of days in goodness spent,
A mind at peace with all below.
A heart whose love is innocent!"
Hint
