William Butler Yeats <<< The place to which Roman Catholics believe that the  spirits of dead people go and suffer for the evil acts that they did while they were alive, before they are able to go to heaven >>> (यातना/ कष्ट ,  शुद्धि का स्थान ) In the short poetic drama Purgatory, the writer W.B. Yeats expresses the following things: The crime of the father will be repeated by his son to an endless cycle of violence. Living beings can render help to the departed soul which suffers in purgatory. The living beings have to suffer the consequences of the sin committed by the dead while alive. Ruined House : Burnt and derelict (ruined/neglected) building before which the play’s only two characters, an Old Man and a Boy (his son), stand throughout the play. The Old Man explains to his disinterested son that he was born in the house and that it was occupied for generations before him by magistrates, colonels, and members of Parliam

Barbara Holland The essay Speaking of Children  is an extract from Barbara Holland’s renowned volume  Mother’s Day or the View from In Here . In this essay, Holland examines the idea of having more than one child and its effect to the parents. The essay is about the children and its effects on family. She believes that one child is an appendage (A part that is joined to something larger) but more than one is a way of life. One child is outnumbered (be large in number/counted) and parents can brainwash it, carry it to parties, toss it on the bed with the coats and make it whatever they want. It is usually easy to look after one child. It is a part of their lives. But, plural children are a counter culture in the house. Parents are outnumbered by the children. In other words, parents must accept or do something they do not want but they are compelled to do certain undesired things. They have to buy many toy sets and they cannot go to the weekend where they like. They have to keep

William Wordsworth My Heart Leaps up when I behold is a poem written by a famous nature poet William Wordsworth . In this poem, the poet recollects/remembers an experience of his childhood days and gives his emotion and feelings a meaning. The poet also expresses his love towards nature. He feels great joy when he sees a rainbow in the sky. He used to enjoy a lot when he saw the rainbow in the sky in his childhood. He hopes he will still get pleasure at seeing the rainbow when he becomes old and if such feeling stops in the future he wishes to die. According to the poet, child is the father of man because childhood is the beginning of the manhood. In other words, the qualities of the grown up men are all derived from childhood.
