Read the following extract and do the given activities :
A1. Fill in the web with what passion poesy can do to you: (2)
…...................and clear rills
That for themselves a cooling covert make
‘Gainst the hot season; the mid forest brake,
Rich with a sprinkling of fair musk-rose blooms :
And such too is the grandeur of the dooms
We have imagined for the mighty deed;
All lovely tales that we have heard or read
An endless fountain of immortal drink
Pouring unto us from the heaven’s brink.
Nor do we merely feel these essences
For one short hour; no, even as the trees
That whisper round a temple become soon
Dear as the temple’s self, so does the moon,
The passion poesy, glories infinite,
Haunt us till they become a cheering light
Unto our souls, and bound to us so fast,
That, whether there be shine, or gloom o’ercast
They always must be with us, or we die.

THE steadfast coursing of the stars,
The waves that ripple to the shore,
The vigorous trees which year by year Spread upwards more and more ;
The jewel forming in the mine, The snow that falls so soft and light,
The rising and the setting sun,
The growing glooms of night,
All-natural things both live and move In natural peace that is their own ;
Only in our disordered life Almost is she unknown.
