- ‘Where are you going?’ Asked Maria. ‘Outside,’ said Bruno angrily. ‘If it’s any of your business.’ He had walked slowly but once he left the room he went more quickly towards the stairs and then ran down them at a great pace, suddenly feeling that if he didn’t get out of the house soon he was going to faint away. And within a few seconds, he was outside and he started to run up and down the driveway, eager to do something active, anything that would tire him out.

Where tireless striving? stretches its arms towards perfection; Where the clear stream of reason has not lost its way into the dreary desert sand of dead habit;
Where the mind is led forward by thee into ever-widening thought and action …. Into that heaven of freedom, my Father, Let my country awake.

Meeting at Night — Robert Browning
I
The grey sea and the long black land;
And the yellow half-moon large and low;
And the startled little waves that leap
In fiery ringlets from their sleep,
As I gain the cove with pushing prow,
And quench its speed i’ the slushy sand.
II
Then a mile of warm sea-scented beach;
Three fields to cross till a farm appears;
A tap at the pane, the quick sharp scratch
And blue spurt of a lighted match,
And a voice less loud, thro’ its joys and fears,
Than the two hearts beating each to each!

7. Read the following poems and answer the questions given below.
A BOUNDLESS MOMENT — Robert Frost
He halted in the wind, and – what was that
Far in the maples, pale, but not a ghost?
He stood there, bringing March against his thought,
And yet too ready to believe the most
“Oh that’s the paradise-in-bloom”, I said;
And truly it was fair enough for flowers
Had we but in us to assume in March
Such white luxuriance of May for ours.
We stood a moment so in a strange world,
Myself as one his own pretense deceives;
And then I said the truth (and we moved on).
A young beech clinging to its last year’s leaves.

The Lost Word — Esther Morgan
She’s lost a word
and searches for it everywhere—
behind the sofa, at the back
of dusty cupboards and drawers.
She picks through the rubbish sacks.
Under the carpet, she finds lots of others
she’d forgotten she’d swept under there
but not the one she’s looking for.
The trouble is it’s small—only two letters
though no less valuable for that.
She stands racking her brain
for the last time she used it
but all that comes to mind are failed attempts
of someone else’s tongue.
