See It Through

By Edgar A. Guest 

Video lesson

When you’re up against a trouble,

    Meet it squarely, face to face;
Lift your chin and set your shoulders,
    Plant your feet and take a brace.
When it’s vain to try to dodge it,
    Do the best that you can do;
You may fail, but you may conquer,
    See it through!

Black may be the clouds about you
    And your future may seem grim,
But don’t let your nerve desert you;
    Keep yourself in fighting trim.
If the worst is bound to happen,
    Spite of all that you can do,
Running from it will not save you,
    See it through!

Even hope may seem but futile,
    When with troubles you’re beset,
But remember you are facing
    Just what other men have met.
You may fail, but fall still fighting;
    Don’t give up, whate’er you do;
Eyes front, head high to the finish.
    See it through!

Glossary

squarely- directly and without trying to escape or avoid.

brace- a support that strengthens something else.

Teamwork 

                                    Edgar Albert Guest

https://youtu.be/xYPgErSnqXQ?si=NjQuHwevneF1EVug

It’s all very well to have courage and skill

And it’s fine to be counted a star,

But the single deed with its touch of thrill

Doesn’t tell the man you are;

For there’s no lone hand in the game we play,

We must work to a bigger scheme,

And the thing that counts in the world to-day

Is, How do you pull with the team?

They may sound your praise and call you great,

They may single you out for fame,

But you must work with your running mate

Or you’ll never win the game;

Oh, never the work of life is done

By the man with a selfish dream,

For the battle is lost or the battle is won

By the spirit of the team.

You may think it fine to be praised for skill,

But a greater thing to do

Is to set your mind and set your will

On the goal that’s just in view;

It’s helping your fellowman to score

When his chances hopeless seem;

Its forgetting self till the game is o’re

And fighting for the team

Q. Elaborate on the central theme of Guest's poem

 About the Poet

    Edgar Guest was a British-born American journalist who began his career in 1895 at the age of fourteen with the Detroit Free Press. He was a prolific poet known for his simple yet profound verses that often focused on themes of everyday life, perseverance, and optimism. He was referred to as the ‘Poet Laureate of Michigan’ and ‘The Poet of the People'. He started penning verse for the Free Press in 1904 in his weekly column "Chaff." His first book was A Heap o’ Livin’ (1916).

About the Poem

    The rhyme scheme of the poem is abab. The poet emphasises the importance of teamwork over individual performance.In a game, teamwork is very important. It is good that we all have courage and a variety of skills in us. It is also good that we are considered as the best performers, or stars. A single act does not make a player great .A star player may be crucial to winning the game, but he cannot alone lead the team to victory. The most important thing is how you cooperate and coordinate with your team members.

 In any game we play, or even in our game of life, there is no single hand. All of us work for some bigger plans, and the thing that matters most today is the question: how do you pull with the team? People call you "great." Here 'They' refers to people. People give you credit for winning a game, but you must work with your teammates. One must work with other team members to put one's team in a good position. A man who has selfish thoughts and longs for personal fame and glory, cannot do the work of life. 

The presence or absence of team spirit makes the battle win or lose. We should not be egocentric.It is fine to be praised for skill, but the better thing is to focus on the goal, cooperate with the team, and have a strong will. When a fellow player has no hope of winning, the player should help him win. Fight not for yourself, but for your team. One should forget "self' until the game is over and fight for the team to win. This didactic poem glorifies the quality of working with others to achieve a common goal.

For Whom the Bell Tolls 

                 

                                                                John Donne 

No man is an island, 

entire of itself. 

 Every man is a piece of the continent, 

 A part of the main.

 If a clod be washed away by the sea, 

 Europe is the less,

 As well as if a promontory were,

As well as if a manor of thy friend's 

 Or of thine own were. 

 Any man's death diminishes me, 

 Because I am involved in mankind. 

 And therefore, never send to know

 for whom the bell tolls.

 It tolls for thee. 

Glossary

Continent= (in this context) the mainland

Clod= a lump of the earth

Questions:- 1.Explain what Donne by 'No man is an island".

2."Every funeral bell, therefore tolls for thee"- addresses the imaginary question of a man in John Donne's poem " For whom the Bell Tolls ".

About the Poet 

    John Donne was born in 1572 to Roman Catholic parents in England. He is known as the metaphysical poet. His popular poems are A Nocturnal Upon St. Lucy’s Day, The Canonization, A Valediction: Forbidding Mourning and The Flea.

About the Poem

    The poem is a fourteen-line sonnet. John Donne addresses the theme of death and the interconnectedness of humans in this poem. The poet stresses the importance of connectedness and brotherhood among human beings. The poem beautifully captures the interconnectedness of humanity. In this short yet profound piece, Donne asserts that no individual exists in isolation; rather, each person is intricately linked to the collective whole.

An island in metaphor stands for selfishness and loneliness. Declaring that “no man is an island,” Donne exhorts us to overcome isolation and acknowledge our interdependence with the larger world.

The poet compares man to the continent in the beginning lines. He says that no man is an island. Every man is a part of this land. A man cannot live in isolation. When a clod or lump of earth is washed away by the sea, it affects the entire continent. So, in the same manner, any man's death is a loss to the poet, as he is part of the whole of mankind. The ringing of the funeral bell is a symbol of death. The bell tolling in the church signals the loss of a person in the area.  

And therefore, never send to know.

 for whom the bell tolls.

 It tolls for thee. 

    The poet suggests not trying to know for whom the bell tolls because it also rings for you. Every person's death diminishes you in some way. Donne basically reminds us to accept our common humanity and that when one person suffers or dies, it impacts all of us. Let us thus acknowledge our interdependence and rejoice in our part as essential components of the enormous human continent.

Ode on Solitude by Alexander Pope

 Kakatiya University Warangal
                                                                    BY ALEXANDER POPE



Happy the man, whose wish and care.
A few paternal acres bound,
Content to breathe his native air,
    In his own ground.
Whose herds with milk, whose fields with bread,
   Whose flocks supply him with attire,
Whose trees in summer yield him shade,
In winter fire.
Blest, who can unconcernedly find
   Hours, days, and years slide soft away,
In health of body, peace of mind,
                            Quiet by day,
Sound sleep by night; study and ease,
   Together mixed; sweet recreation;
And innocence, which most does please,  
With meditation.
Thus let me live, unseen, unknown;
   Thus unlamented let me die;
Steal from the world, and not a stone
                            Tell where I lie.

 Q:- 1.Describe Molai Forest (KU june 2023) 

2.what sight ultimately inspired Jadav to protect the island and the forest? ( KU July 2022) 

3.How were Javad Payeng's efforts on planting discovered ( KU July 2021) 

Jadav Payeng dedicated his entire youth to transforming a deserted island into a dense forest. The forest was named after his nickname, Molai Forest. After 33 years of his constant efforts, the government, NGO's, and the international community recognised his wonder. He became the subject of school textbooks, and many documentaries have been made on his life.

At the age of sixteen, he saw a pile of dead snakes washed up on a sandbar after floods in the Brahmaputra River. This sight made him think about the threat to humans on deforested land. He was advised by village elders to plant trees, especially bamboo trees, to prevent the impending danger. To stop the submersion of Majuli island due to constant soil erosion, the Forestry Division of Golaghat district started planting trees on 200 acres. Jadav continued this mission, though the Forestry Division stopped the plan in 1983.

Jadav in 2008 fiercely protested the villager's plan to cut down part of the forest to stop the elephant menace. He said, "Kill me first, before killing these animals." When the world discovered the Molai forest, poachers began to invade the forest in search of animals. The forest department acted quickly on Jadav's information and stopped poachng activities. Jadav lived with his wife and three children in a hut near the forest. Though his cattle were killed by tigers, he never got angry. He said, " Nature has made a food chain, why can't we stick to it"?.  He further says that man is the biggest danger to the forest. 

Many documentaries have been made about Jadav's sacrifice and success. Arti Srivastav, an Indian film maker, made a documentary titled "Foresting Life."

In 2014, William McMaster, an American film maker, made the "Forest Man" film on Jadav's work with the Molai forest. In 2012, he was given the title "The Forest Man of India" by Jawaharlal Nehru University, Delhi.

               THE tame bird was in a cage, the free bird was in the forest. 

               They met when the time came, it was a decree of fate.

             The free bird cries, "O my love, let us fly to the wood."
            The cage bird whispers, "Come hither, let us both live in the cage."
            Says the free bird, "Among bars, where is there room to spread one's wings?"
            "Alas," cries the caged bird, "I should not know where to sit perched in the sky."
           
            The free bird cries, "My darling, sing the songs of the woodlands."
            The cage bird sings, "Sit by my side, I'll teach you the speech of the learned."
            The forest bird cries, "No, ah no! songs can never be taught."
            The cage bird says, "Alas for me, I know not the songs of the woodlands."
           
            Their love is intense with longing, but they never can fly wing to wing.
            Through the bars of the cage they look, and vain is their wish to know each other.
            They flutter their wings in yearning, and sing, "Come closer, my love!"
            The free bird cries, "It cannot be, I fear the closed doors of the cage."
            The cage bird whispers, "Alas, my wings are powerless and dead."

Rabindranath Tagore was born in Kolkata, Bengal, on May 7, 1861. He was popularly known as "Vishwa Kavi," or "the universal poet." He was a poet, musician, painter, playwright, novelist, and short story writer. He received the Nobel Prize for literature in 1913, becoming the first Asian and the first non-European to receive the award. Tagore, in 1901, established Shantiniketan ("the abode of peace") School.

In the poem, the poet depicts two birds' perspectives and conditions. There are two birds: a tame bird in a cage and a free bird in the forest. The bird in the cage symbolises isolation and prison life, whereas the bird in the forest symbolises freedom. Both birds are ignorant of each other's world. They are happy in their own lives. The two birds, having grown in different worlds, are engaged in a conversation with each other. Each one expresses their wish to join or unite. But both are unwilling to leave their own world. They can't be together. Any one of the two birds should sacrifice to join. 

The free bird tells the caged bird to come with it to fly in the free sky of the forest, but the caged bird invites the free bird to live in the cage with it. The free bird refuses its request, saying there is no room in the cage to spread its wings. Both birds try to convince each other by presenting their arguments. The free bird longs for open skies, while the caged bird fears the unknown outside. The free bird tells the cage bird to come out and be free to sing woodland songs. The cage bird replies, "Sit by my side; I'll teach you the speech of the learned," and also expresses sadness that it has not known the songs of the forest. They have strong feelings of love, but they cannot fly together. It is impossible for them to unite. They flap their wings with intense love. The free bird says that it cannot join cage bird as it fears the bars of the cage. The cage bird says with sadness that its wings are powerless and dead, so it can't fly. The last line suggests that freedom is valuable and that the free bird is in a better position than the caged bird.

Q. 1.Describe Leacock's initial visit to the photographer as envisaged in 'With the Photographer. 

Q. 2.How does Leacock comment on the profession of photography in his essay 'With the photographer'? 

 About the author. 

Stephen Leacock (1869-1944) was a Canadian writer, teacher, political scientist, and humourist. "With the Photographer" is an extract from Behind the Beyond. The story is told in first person about the narrator’s bitter experience with a photographer in a photo studio. The incident happens when the narrator goes to take a photograph of him. The narrator describes the physical features of the photographer and further says that he appears as a natural scientist. After waiting for an hour, the narrator is asked to come into the studio.  The photographer rolls a machine into the middle of the room and crawls into it from behind, throwing a black cloth over himself. The photographer comes out with a serious face, shakes his head, and says that the narrator's face is wrong. He comes to the narrator and twists his head sideways. The narrator closes his eyes, assuming he is trying to kiss him. Then he asks him to open his mouth slightly and comment on his ears, asking him to drop them slightly more. He continues his humiliation by ordering him to open his chest, bend his neck, and contract his face. The narrator is annoyed by the peculiar behaviour of the photographer. The narrator says with emotion, “This face is my face." It is not yours, it is mine." The narrator tries to rise from the seat, countering his embarrassing comments, and says that he has been living with this face for forty years and loves it. After much humiliation, the photographer at last takes the photograph and asks him to come on Saturday to see a proof. The narrator visits the studio on Saturday. The photographer seems quiet and full of pride. The narrator is shocked upon seeing the photograph. He doesn’t find any resemblance between the man in the photograph and him. The photographer retouches the eyes, removes the eyebrows, adjusts the mouth a little, and plans to remove the ears as well. The narrator wants to take a photograph that will be kept by his friends after his death. Irritated by the photographer’s brutal work, he shouts at him to make whatever changes he can and keep the negative with him. At last, the dissatisfied narrator leaves the studio in tears.
