Ok I'm not asking these because I don't know it but I rather want to know how other people would explain and give their own opinions on how they relate or understand each of the poems.
1. ...Think now
History has many cunning passages, contrived corridors
And issues, deceives with whispering ambitions,
Guides as by vanity.
-T.S. Eliot
2. It is morning. I stand by the mirror
And suprise my soul once more;
The blue air rushes above my ceiling,
There are suns beneath my floor...
-Conrad Aiken
3. Too perfect was their dream of paradise!
The alien vessels clanked their anchors, and
The dream was splattered on the bloody beaches.
Prodded by swords, they ate, from proffering hands,
The alien apples breeding restlessness.
While Misereres darkened out the sun,
Eden grew thistles.
-Ricardo Demetillo
4. What wondrous life is this I lead!
Ripe apples drop about my head;
-Andrew Marvell
