In fact, machines have been invented by.man to perform his work with greater effciency.

2. (A) Wordsworth has been called the greatest poet of Nature.This does not “mean that his poetry is only about trees, forests, hills and valleys. This great romantic poet has a comprehensive philsophic vision. This vision includes the whole cosmos of which man and nature are but parts. Thus Wordsworth is more a poet of man than of nature. In any case, he does not see man apart’ from Nature. Real knowledge and wisdom are born out of man’s communion with nature. Thus Wordsworth is always the hero of his poem. He explores meaning in man’s life and finds it only in man’s communion with nature. This poet even reaches god-head through nature. Nature is as much a scripture (धार्मिक ग्रंथ) of God as is the Bible.
True, in The Daffodils the poet gives the picture of nature :in a few of its aspects. At the centre are the golden daffodils dancing and tossing their heads along the edge of the Grasmere lake. There is the gentle wind that gives them motion to dance. The waves in the water of the lake are also dancing. Then there are the clouds high up over the valley and the hills. Then there is the comparison of the unending line of daffodils with the unending line of the milkyway made up of twinkling stars. Then at the focal point is the poet himself with a deep concern ;
I gazed and gazed but little thought
What wealth the-show to me liad brought.
That is exploring’a meaning in Nature. Wordsworth of course.’ finds it. In the school of nature he learns geat truths and wisdom. He developes a philosophic mind that can see beyond the present and even beyond the terrestrial existence. Thus when he is lonely and depressed and the present is shorn of all meaning, the past comes to his rescue. The experience of the past come into the present and the poet is saved from depression and lineliness. The sights of the past as of the daffodils flash on his inner eyes.
And then my heart with pleasure fills.
And dances with the daffodils.
(B) “The Soldier” is a patriotic poem in form of sonnet composed by the great war poet Rupert Brooke. The poet describes the feelings of an English soldier who goes to a foreign country to fight for his country. He feels that the piece of foreign land where he will be burried in case of his death will be forever England, his own country. He considers the piece of foreign land to be England because he was born and brought up in England. He also expresses his sense of gratitude of his country for everything he got there the flowers, the air he breathes, the laughter that he has learnt from friends. Thus the poem shows the poet’s great love for his motherland.
(C) A very pleasing characteristic of Yeats’s poetry is the expression of spiritual urges in utterly simple form. Known in the beginning for his poems on love and passion that had a personal backgroud, he turned to various kinds of spiritual practices out of which he wrote deeply moving poems.
Lake Isle Of Innisfree is a popular lyric in which he gives expression of his desire to move to Innisfree, an island near Ireland, entirely free from worldly distractions. It has such beautiful surroundings that help mind stay away from worldly thoughts. In fact, Nature is not an external source of spiritual happiness. It is part of a cosmic order that induces mind to control pleasures of senses and turn to such ideas and thoughts that sustain purity and selflessness.
Yeats draws up a very evocative picture of Innisfree. It is a place where bees are humming, where peace comes in drops and where there is gentle light even at midnight. All these details are extraordinary and are supposed to create a picture of beauty marked with spiritual grace. Although Yeats uses slightly long lines he has retained simplicity of diction. It is all in consonance with the lofty theme.
3. (A) Peggotty took David to visit her brother for a few weeks in yarmouth because Mr. Murdstone and David’s mother were getting married.

He is sluggish in his business but is ready to help others. He makes everyone laugh. In his family, Mrs. Micawber always carries a child and is never ready to be parted with him.

In spite of his poverty and debt Mr. Micawber is very honest. He could have made a lot of money by working with Uriah Heep. But he did not want to be on a dishonest path. He gave ethics a superior place than his personal profits. He read out the charges against heep one by one with full proof and exposed Uriah Heep. By his selfless act he brought comfort to Miss Trotwood and also Agnes and Mr. Wickifield. His resourcefulness, truth and good knowledge of law helped him.
