Life’s but a walking shadow; a poor player, That struts and frets his hour upon the stage, And then is heard no more: it is a tale Told by an idiot, full of sound and fury, Signifying nothing.” 3. “Soldiering, my dear madam, is the coward’s art of attacking mercilessly when you are strong, and keeping out of harm’s way when you are weak. That is the whole secret of successful fighting. Get your enemy at a disadvantage; and never, on any account, fight him on equal terms.” 4. “… More things are wrought by prayer Than this world dreams of. Wherefore, let thy voice Rise like a fountain for me night and day. For what are men better than sheep or goats That nourish a blind life within the brain, 4 If, knowing God, they lift not hands of prayer Both for themselves and those who call them friend?” Section B II.

Answer all the questions in this assignment.
SECTION A
I. Explain the following passages with reference to the context.
10x4=40
1. “Is this a dagger, which I see before me,
The handle toward my hand? Come, let me clutch thee:--
I have thee not, and yet I see thee still.
Art thou not, fatal vision, sensible
To feeling, as to sight? or art thou but
A dagger of the mind, a false creation,
Proceeding from the heat-oppressed brain?
I see thee yet, in form as palpable
As this which now I draw.”
2. “Out, damned spot! Out, I say!—One; two; why, then ‘tis time to do’t. –
Hell is murky.–Fie, my Lord, fie! A soldier and afeard? –what need we fear
who knows it, when none can call our power to account? –Yet who would
have thought the old man to have had so much blood in him?”
3. “Raina: Well, it came into my head just as he was holding me in his arms
and looking into my eyes that perhaps we only had our heroic ideas because
we are so fond of reading Byron and Pushkin, and because we were so
delighted with the opera that season at Bucharest….I wondered whether all
his heroic qualities and his soldiership might not prove mere imagination
when he went into a real battle. I had an uneasy fear that he might cut a
poor figure there beside all those clever Russian officers”.
4. “For now I see the true old times are dead,
When every morning brought a noble chance,
And every chance brought out a noble knight.
Such times have been not since the light that led
The holy Elders with the gift of myrrh.
But now the whole Round Table is dissolved
Which was an image of the mighty world;”
