I dreamt a dream! What can it mean? And that I was a maiden Queen Guarded by an Angel mild: Witless woe was ne’er beguiled! And I wept both night and day‚ And he wiped my tears away; And I wept both day and night‚ And hid from him my heart’s delight. So he took his wings‚ and fled; Then the morn blushed rosy red. I dried my tears‚ and armed my fears With ten-thousand shields and spears. Soon my Angel came again; I was armed‚ he came in vain; For the time of youth was fled‚ And

Wordsworth describes this experience of his through his voyage in a boat which later dramatically turns into a nightmarish journey.

William Glynne-Jones Squint‚ the foreman moulder‚ stood with his arms folded on the wooden planks covering the heavy-castings’ pit. He peered at the men as they bustled around in the casting bay‚ getting the moulds ready. "Get a move on‚" he rasped. "It’s up-ladle at three. You’ve got ten minutes left. Hey‚ you - Owen and Ritchie! Close that spindle." He pointed to a mould‚ its top and bottom half contained in two steel boxes‚ approximately seven feet long by three wide and three deep.

Due to our nature‚ the human race will do astonishing things in the name of love and fear. Abigail Williams in “The Crucible” is a fantastic example of this.

A large part of the submissiveness was gained by her ability to manipulate others‚ especially those she knows well. She starts the fire of hatred‚ for witches and the
