My Days among the Dead -ROBERT SOUTHEY POEM

 M y days among the dead are past around me I behold , whenever these casual eyes are cast the mighty minds of old my never failing friends are they with them I take delight in weal. And seek relief in woe and while I understand and feel how much to them I owe my cheeks have often been bedew'd with tears of thoughtful gratitude. My thoughts are with the Dead, with them     I live in long-past years, Their virtues love, their faults condemn,     Partake their hopes and fears, And from their lessons seek and find Instruction with an humble mind. My hopes are with the Dead, anon     My place with them will be, And I with them shall travel on     Through all Futurity; Yet leaving here a name, I trust, That will not perish in the dust Quest ions 1)what is the central idea of the  poem 2)who are mighty minds 3)who are the  poets  friends and how are they never failing 4)explain my cheeks have often been.............gratitude Question...

Tales of Prison Life-About the book Dr. Sisir Kumar Ghosh translated this book from its original Karakahini publication in 1909–10 into English. The book includes three essays,a poem 'Invitation'  in English written in Alipore jail and a 'Uttarpara' speech in English, along with the main text.   I read this book twice, as it was very engrossing.

You know how this is: if I look at the crystal moon, at the red branch of the slow autumn at my window, if I touch near the fire the impalpable ash or the wrinkled body of the log, everything carries me to you, as if everything that exists, aromas, light, metals, were little boats that sail toward those isles of yours that wait for me. Well, now, if little by little you stop loving me I shall stop loving you little by little. If suddenly you forget me do not look for me, for I shall already have forgotten you. If you think it long and mad, the wind of banners that passes through my life, and you decide to leave me at the shore of the heart where I have roots, remember that on that day, at that hour, I shall lift my arms and my roots will set off to seek another land. But if eac...
