Noiseless Spider

A Noiseless Patient Spider

1. BY WALT WHITMAN
   A noiseless patient spider,

   I mark’d where on a little promontory it stood isolated,

   Mark’d how to explore the vacant vast surrounding,

   It launch’d forth filament, filament, filament, out of itself,

   Ever unreeling them, ever tirelessly speeding them.

   
   

   And you O my soul where you stand,

   Surrounded, detached, in measureless oceans of space,

   Ceaselessly musing, venturing, throwing, seeking the spheres to connect them,

   Till the bridge you will need be form’d, till the ductile anchor hold,

   Till the gossamer thread you fling catch somewhere, O my soul.
2. xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
3. It stands for the spider.
4. Patient -- works noiselessly and patiently
5. isolated-   alone  in a corner, isolated,
6. explore- to search ,to scan
7. promontory--- high point of land standing out from the coast line
8. produces filament.----producing filament
9. Soul- stands  detached and as well as surrounded
10. Musing continuously;;; Human soul does this.idling
11. Gossamer thread---- fine cob-web
12. The soul also throws the gossamer thread.
13. Soul_- surrounded and detached  in measureless space.
14. soul signifies  ceaseless spiritual meditation.
15. The words in alliteration:
16. Forth, filament, filament, filament, 
17. Vacant/vast
18. underlying theme of this poem.
19. Walt Whitman describes a spider beginning to work on its web. It’s doing the trickiest, most uncertain part of the job: trying to lay down the first line. It’s shooting out lots of little strings, trying to get one of them to stick to something. Then, to let you know that this poem isn’t just about a spider, the speaker tells us that this is a metaphor for the soul, which also explores and tries to connect.
20. Whitman focuses on this theme about as directly as he can. The first five lines are all about nature. He uses the spider as an example of how things work in the natural world. The second five lines are all about human life and emotions, and how they might compare to nature. By the end, the two worlds are tied together by this metaphor, and they become hard to pull apart.

Going For Water Robert Frost's poem

1. The well was dry beside the door,
2. And so we went with pail and can
3. Across  the fields behind the house
4. To seek the brook if still it ran;
5. Not loth to have excuse to go,
6. Because the autumn eve was fair
7. (Though chill), because the fields were ours,
8. And by the brook our woods were there.
9. We ran as if to meet the moon
10. That slowly dawned behind the trees,
11. The barren boughs  without the leaves,
12. Without the birds, without the breeze.
13. But once within the wood,we paused
14. Like gnomes that hid us from the moon,
15. Ready to run to hiding new
16. With laughter when she found us soon.
17. Each laid on other  a staying hand
18. To listen ere we dared to look,
19. And in the hush we joined to make
20. We heard,we knew, we heard the brook.
21. A note as  from a single place,
22. A slender tinkling fall that made
23. Now drops that floated on the pool
24. Like pearls , and now a silver blade.
25. rhyming words:
26. can/ran,fair/there/ trees/breeze/ moon/soon/ look/brook
27. made/blade

1. If you  can dream and not make
2. Dreams your master;
3. If you can think and not make
4. Thoughts your aim;
5. If you can meet with
6. Triumph and disaster;
7. And treat those Impostors
8. Just the same;
9. 
   
10. If you can force your heart,
11. Nerve and sinew
12. To serve your turn 
13. Long after they are gone;
14. And so hold on
15. When there is nothing in you
16. Except the WILL  which says
17. To them ,"HOLD ON."
18. 
    
19. If you can fill the unforgiving minute
20. With sixty seconds' worth
21. Of distance run,
22. Yours is the earth and
23. Everything that's in it,
24. And, what is more,
25. You will be a MAN,
26. My son.
