Attempt any FOUR questions. All questions carry equal marks. Question No. 1 is compulsory.
1. Attempt any FOUR of the following with reference to the context.
(i) O what a multitude they seemed these flowers of London town
Seated in companies they sit with radiance all their own
The hum of multitudes was there but multitudes of lambs
Thousands of little boys and girls raising innocent hands
(ii) Though I should gaze for ever
On that green light that lingers in the west:
I may not hope from outward forms to win
The passion and the life, whose fountains are within.
(iii) O aching time! O moments big as years!
All as ye pass swell out the monstrous truth,
And press it so upon our weary griefs
That unbelief has not a space to breathe.
(iv) Your voice went over the fields towards Granchester.
It must have sounded lost. But the cows
Watched, then approached: they appreciated Chaucer.
You went on and on.
(v) One sound is say, 'You aren't woth tuppence,
But neither is anybody. So watch Numer One!'
The other says, 'Go with it! Give and swerve.
You are everything you feel beside the river.'
(vi) For borne away is deadened air
May go the sudden shut of loss
Round something nearly at an end,
And what cohered in it across
The years, the unique radom blend
Of families and fashions, there.
