I would really apprecieate some help.

So what does this poem suggest about idealsim and truth?

PRAYER FOR THE HORIZON
I wish you, first, an unimpeded view
with a boundary in it, between seen and unseen,
a line to hold onto when you’re feeling sick,
something to aim for but which retreats
as fast as you travel. May you stay undeceived
and see, not a line, but a curve of the earth:
an elegant offing that leads beyond fear
out to Vasco’s discoveries. It’s three:
visible, sensible, rational – lines
for what we may calculate and what we can’t.

In fog, I wish you mercury sight,
artificial horizon, so that you know
where not to be, quickly. I wish you the gift
of knowing where your own knowing ends.

And finally, I ask: when you reach
the event horizon from which your light
will no longer reach us and space, highly curved,
will hide you for ever, that you watch me arrive –
you shouldn’t see me, but you will –
marching with flashing lighthouses, buoys,
to the edge of your singularity
with fleets of full-rigged ceremonial ships
and acres of scintillating sea.
Haha E.J. I didn’t write the poem this is part of an english assignment that i am struggling with, unfortunatley its only a very small party, therefore i am implying i have tons left! lol

alright so i got to the part where you have to line the lights up. i use frost bite on the crystal and nothing happens. ive casted double crystal bites and crystal/flames at it and nothing happens. i dont have an old save though. any help?

a friends got it, and the crystal won’t budge either.

On mine, it worked the first time

I can speculate it is either a glitch for some reason with a chance of happening that seems unfixable, or it’s a glitch caused when you save and reload in the observatory. Don’t know. hope they patch it soon.

This is the "Revealing the Unseen" quest that is found by following the quest line for the College of Winterhold. I’m completely stuck on this puzzle that has the focus crystal with the light beams coming up. I assumed that you needed to line the light up with the circling plates and occasionally use fire or ice to change the angle of the light beams, but I just can’t seem to get them lined up. I’ve been at this for a long time now. Help would be appreciated.

use the buttons to put the plates.
the right most button should make it so that the plate is at the 1 o’ clock position. (assuming you are standing at the buttons facing the crystal)
the middle button should make it so the plate is at the 11 O’ clock position.
and the final left most button should make it so the plate is at the 3 o clock position.
after that use fire or frost destruction spells to make the light line up with the plates.

A few years back my brother use to date this really b*tchy girl. She was also bat-shit-crazy. She would always try to provoke my brother into fighting her. She shoved him, slapped him, and even tried to kill him with her car.Twice. She lied to him and told him that I threw my drink in her face and because he "loved" her so much, he slapped me. I hated her. She did admit to the lie afterward and he said sorry. Not that it mattered I still hated her. But any ways she crossed the unseen line when she mased him for refusing to spend time with her and he broke her jaw. Literally. She had to have her jaw wired shut. He also kicked her in the stomach a few times. She called the cops, they arrested my brother and I lied my *ss off to keep him out of jail. I don’t regret it.

Blood is thicker than water comrade temple. From what I read you did heart and morality. She wasn’t killed. The chick was hard enough to hit means she was hard enough to get hit back. You have no need of guilt or any other feeling for that girl. Any other feelings against your family is an act of betrayal.

Blood is thicker than water. If my brother had of raped or killed the girl I WOULD HANG HIM MYSELF.

This is not the case. Yee did the right thing comrade par lay!

@Kirsty for f**k sake it was only a one night stand?

With possible paranoid features added.

Think about it:

1) Hearing voices
2) Conspiracy theories about the world involving demons
3) Talking to unseen figures (prayer)
4) Occasional outbursts of inexplicable violence in line with delusional worldview (crusades, abortion clinic bombings)

Etc.

Please explain?

1) Who’s voice do you hear, God or Satan’s??
2) Demons are real. There no conspiracy there!
3) I can see God. Maybe you are too blind to not be able to see Him.
4) Christians aren’t violent. Jesus taught us to love everyone including our enemies. Cults cause violence ex: Crusades (Catholics), Terrorism (Muslims), Abortion clinic bombings (attention getters).

When writing a response to a poem, weather it is a comparison, or an unseen poem, do you have to write about the last line?

You talk about the poem, the poem has a last line, so you can address it as part of the poem OR stick it out on its own and discuss.

I really like the poem miriam is reading when you can hear what it is can anyone tell me what poem it is or some lines from it please

The poem Miriam was reading in the movie The World Unseen (2007) is entitled Love by George Herbert. Here is the poem in its entirety:

Love
by George Herbert

Love bade me welcome: yet my soul drew back,
Guilty of dust and sin.
But quick-eyed Love, observing me grow slack
From my first entrance in,
Drew nearer to me, sweetly questioning,
If I lacked anything.
A guest, I answered, worthy to be here:
Love said, you shall be he.
I the unkind, the ungrateful? Ah my dear,
I cannot look on thee.
Love took my hand, and smiling did reply,
Who made the eyes but I?
Truth Lord, but I have marred them; let my shame
Go where it doth deserve.
And know you not, says Love, who bore the blame?
My Dear then I will serve.
You must sit down, says Love, and taste my meat:
So I did sit and eat.

Whistle

Be careful- a starters flag
to a child hell bent on dare.
What boundaries could exist
to a mind, age…un-imbued?

Homes become triage centers
and scars become badges borne.
Were adept at fixing those.
not so, deeper- unseen ones.

Those internal bleeds we fear.
Wounds festering, giving pain.
No dial a wound remedies,
just constant, long term E.R.

But, when they find the goal lines,
the boundaries they accept.
We smile and settle ourselves
to enjoy the whistle’s shrill.

Intense piece and I do like whistles but this describes a situation that is frightening,,, to me anyway.

Excellent in any case.

Since it is a fine line, unseen to the visual eyes . Crossing back and forth is as easy as picking wild flowers.
I try to be without influence, You?

i can’t even tell the difference anymore ..wish i was kidding…

So tomorrow i have an english final, the professor will give us a choice of 7-10 short poems [7-15 lines] to write a 7 paragraph essay on.

How do i write an essay on a poem? how to i subdivide my 7 paragraphs – meaning – what would the 5 body paragraph entail and how would i write it

thanks

You may want to find similarities and differences in the themes, syntax, diction, and rhetorical strategies used in the poems. Whatever you do, never commit to only one strategy, be flexible.
