1 00:00:13,140 --> 00:00:21,440 We're going to read and perhaps have a point of 2 00:00:21,440 --> 00:00:26,460 entry to Thomas Hardy's poem, The Oxen. 3 00:00:30,590 --> 00:00:36,330 I'm sure like you had a look at the poem and you 4 00:00:36,330 --> 00:00:40,710 might have read it aloud. Did anybody of you read 5 00:00:40,710 --> 00:00:47,150 the poem aloud? Have you read the poem? Those who 6 00:00:47,150 --> 00:00:49,190 have read the poem, what do you think? Do you like 7 00:00:49,190 --> 00:00:50,330 it? Is it a poem? 8 00:00:53,130 --> 00:00:55,150 It's not a poem. It's difficult. 9 00:00:58,930 --> 00:01:00,650 So when you were reading the poem, what did you 10 00:01:00,650 --> 00:01:01,950 think it was about? 11 00:01:05,330 --> 00:01:08,210 Actually, when I read the poem, maybe I was 12 00:01:08,210 --> 00:01:13,650 confused. You were confused? Yes. And I can guess 13 00:01:13,650 --> 00:01:18,270 it is about a religious idea. Uh-huh. So yes, yes, 14 00:01:18,430 --> 00:01:20,870 you think this is like there is something about 15 00:01:20,870 --> 00:01:26,050 religion? And people are changing or what? How do 16 00:01:26,050 --> 00:01:33,070 you know that? When he speaks about the kids, using 17 00:01:33,070 --> 00:01:35,650 kids in the present and in the past. In the past means 18 00:01:35,650 --> 00:01:39,010 shifting from the present moment. So as he converts to 19 00:01:39,010 --> 00:01:43,330 the past. You see he's like contrasting. Okay, show me 20 00:01:43,330 --> 00:01:47,310 how he's contrasting. Because it's very 21 00:01:47,310 --> 00:01:50,110 interesting like to know you know how he's 22 00:01:50,110 --> 00:01:50,690 contrasting. 23 00:01:58,520 --> 00:02:10,000 So you have 24 00:02:10,000 --> 00:02:14,340 the past and the present. You think that people in 25 00:02:14,340 --> 00:02:18,240 the past were something and in the present they 26 00:02:18,240 --> 00:02:22,900 are something else. Good. Let's see another 27 00:02:22,900 --> 00:02:25,700 student. It's very important that you participate 28 00:02:25,700 --> 00:02:29,040 because this will help you in your participation 29 00:02:29,040 --> 00:02:35,280 mark, you know. Yes. Those who have read the poem. 30 00:02:36,560 --> 00:02:40,220 Yes, please. Exactly. Actually, when I read the 31 00:02:40,220 --> 00:02:43,400 poem, I did not understand the whole idea because 32 00:02:43,400 --> 00:02:48,540 I think the poem uses a difficult language. Like 33 00:02:48,540 --> 00:02:55,730 what? Like a gloom? Yeah, and even you didn't find 34 00:02:55,730 --> 00:03:00,130 this in the dictionary. So what did you do? You 35 00:03:00,130 --> 00:03:03,250 just found it difficult and you said you gave up? 36 00:03:10,410 --> 00:03:15,290 But do you think it is specifically about 37 00:03:15,290 --> 00:03:20,660 religion? Because here, Is it about religion or is 38 00:03:20,660 --> 00:03:21,640 more about religion? 39 00:03:26,460 --> 00:03:26,880 Okay, 40 00:03:31,820 --> 00:03:35,680 so good. I'm very happy this is a real response. 41 00:03:36,000 --> 00:03:40,300 Yes, another response? Does anybody have a written 42 00:03:40,300 --> 00:03:40,800 response? 43 00:03:43,880 --> 00:03:46,020 Okay, yes. 44 00:03:48,570 --> 00:03:50,190 Do you have a response here? Do you want to read 45 00:03:50,190 --> 00:03:56,090 it? No, I think the poem, it's sort of... At 46 00:03:56,090 --> 00:03:58,270 first, he talks about the bath, then he 47 00:03:58,270 --> 00:04:02,570 presents... I am confusing the poem. It's very 48 00:04:02,570 --> 00:04:05,990 difficult. Also, his language is difficult. Okay. 49 00:04:06,650 --> 00:04:11,390 But, like... I see that nobody has tried to read 50 00:04:11,390 --> 00:04:15,750 the poem aloud. And even nobody... In the morning, 51 00:04:15,850 --> 00:04:20,030 I was browsing YouTube. And I found the poem in 52 00:04:20,030 --> 00:04:24,230 songs and it was recited by many people. Did you 53 00:04:24,230 --> 00:04:32,910 try like this? It is there. But, yes. You watch a 54 00:04:32,910 --> 00:04:39,050 video? So, I don't know, how would you like read 55 00:04:39,050 --> 00:04:44,410 this poem? Can anybody like give a try and read 56 00:04:44,410 --> 00:04:44,890 this poem? 57 00:04:49,390 --> 00:04:51,430 It should be like this, Christmas Eve and 12 of 58 00:04:51,430 --> 00:04:53,470 the clock, now they are all on their knees like 59 00:04:53,470 --> 00:05:00,770 this. How should we read the poem? Okay, let me 60 00:05:00,770 --> 00:05:04,310 read the first stanza and then ask you one 61 00:05:04,310 --> 00:05:10,870 question. Christmas Eve and 12 of the clock, now 62 00:05:10,870 --> 00:05:14,690 they are all on their knees and elders sit as we 63 00:05:14,690 --> 00:05:20,090 sat in a flock. by the embers in heart side E's. 64 00:05:21,170 --> 00:05:24,410 Okay, here in this stanza, somebody is talking. 65 00:05:26,130 --> 00:05:30,990 Yes? But I want to ask you, how many voices do we 66 00:05:30,990 --> 00:05:32,450 have in this stanza? 67 00:05:35,330 --> 00:05:39,690 How many voices do we have in this stanza? One 68 00:05:39,690 --> 00:05:42,450 voice? Two voices, where are they? 69 00:05:45,990 --> 00:05:55,230 The elder and the poet, the poet. So when we read 70 00:05:55,230 --> 00:06:00,550 this, we should read, we should simulate or try to 71 00:06:00,550 --> 00:06:04,670 imitate it in a good way. Like here, we have the 72 00:06:04,670 --> 00:06:10,230 poet who's telling us and we have this direct 73 00:06:10,230 --> 00:06:12,450 speech. So how should it be read then? 74 00:06:16,010 --> 00:06:17,050 How should it be read? 75 00:06:21,390 --> 00:06:25,670 Should we give like, yes? Yes, 76 00:06:28,390 --> 00:06:31,050 so if you were to teach this at school, and then 77 00:06:31,050 --> 00:06:34,290 you ask your students to read this aloud, how 78 00:06:34,290 --> 00:06:37,170 should they read it, you know, you think? 79 00:06:40,050 --> 00:06:47,170 Okay, do you want to give yourself like, okay. I'm 80 00:06:47,170 --> 00:06:51,210 inviting everybody like to try. Christmas Eve and 81 00:06:51,210 --> 00:06:55,490 12 o'clock, now they are all on their knees. And 82 00:06:55,490 --> 00:06:59,450 they offer self as we sat in a park by the embers 83 00:06:59,450 --> 00:07:04,530 in hardside caves. Uh-huh. Do you think? Little 84 00:07:04,530 --> 00:07:08,390 bit different. Little bit different, but it's not 85 00:07:08,390 --> 00:07:11,210 like as you want. What do you want it to be like? 86 00:07:14,650 --> 00:07:18,430 Okay, come on, you know? Go ahead, read it. Just I 87 00:07:18,430 --> 00:07:19,350 want you to read this. 88 00:07:22,150 --> 00:07:30,830 Yes? Go ahead. Okay, I won't like you to read it. 89 00:07:36,230 --> 00:07:39,890 That's it. You know, this is like, you know, 90 00:07:40,330 --> 00:07:45,990 because we have two voices. You know? Could you do 91 00:07:45,990 --> 00:07:51,070 it again? Christmas Eve at 12 of the clock. Now 92 00:07:51,070 --> 00:07:55,290 they are all in their knees. And elders sit as we 93 00:07:55,290 --> 00:07:59,710 sat in a flock by the embers in here still. In the 94 00:07:59,710 --> 00:08:04,210 heart side east. Wow, yes. Like here, Christmas 95 00:08:04,210 --> 00:08:10,290 Eve and 12 of the clock. Now they are all on their 96 00:08:10,290 --> 00:08:15,700 knees. An elder said, as we sat in the block, by 97 00:08:15,700 --> 00:08:21,080 the embers in hardside east. It seems like, you 98 00:08:21,080 --> 00:08:25,420 know, what is the picture here? What is the 99 00:08:25,420 --> 00:08:31,080 picture? Like, have you visualized the picture? 100 00:08:31,300 --> 00:08:34,040 Can you visualize the picture? What is the picture 101 00:08:34,040 --> 00:08:40,500 here? We have a picture. Now, poets draw pictures 102 00:08:40,500 --> 00:08:44,640 by words. So what is the picture? It is, you know, 103 00:08:44,980 --> 00:08:48,340 like, do we have a party here? Do we have, like, 104 00:08:48,540 --> 00:08:52,460 anniversary, like today's anniversary? Yes. Yes, 105 00:08:52,640 --> 00:08:56,120 it's a Christmas day. It's a Christmas day? Yes. 106 00:08:56,820 --> 00:09:01,680 An older man come and speak for a group of people. 107 00:09:02,200 --> 00:09:07,240 So, a speaker? Speaker, yes. And he's scribing the 108 00:09:07,240 --> 00:09:13,240 oxen outside in the pen. They are kneeling when 109 00:09:13,240 --> 00:09:16,720 the... So he's describing. You think that 110 00:09:16,720 --> 00:09:21,280 somebody's, you know, like talking to people in a 111 00:09:21,280 --> 00:09:25,880 big rally like today? In a big rally, where? Like, 112 00:09:26,400 --> 00:09:29,240 do you think, what is the place? The picture is, 113 00:09:29,500 --> 00:09:35,000 you know, people and they are listening to 114 00:09:35,000 --> 00:09:39,820 somebody, an elder telling them, describing, you 115 00:09:39,820 --> 00:09:42,900 said, What is the real picture? 116 00:09:45,620 --> 00:09:46,540 What is the real picture? 117 00:09:49,220 --> 00:09:54,980 Yeah, it's a house. It's a church. Yeah, because 118 00:09:54,980 --> 00:09:59,320 Christmas, you know, it's a Christmas Eve, you 119 00:09:59,320 --> 00:10:03,540 know, just one day before Christmas. So, 120 00:10:06,320 --> 00:10:08,660 Yeah, it could be a house, it could be a church, 121 00:10:08,980 --> 00:10:12,800 but this is like the occasion, it is clear. It is 122 00:10:12,800 --> 00:10:13,240 Christmas. 123 00:10:16,200 --> 00:10:18,820 And it seems like these people are getting ready 124 00:10:18,820 --> 00:10:24,200 to Christmas. But how are they getting ready? By 125 00:10:24,200 --> 00:10:27,660 getting together and somebody is telling them 126 00:10:27,660 --> 00:10:34,440 stories. Stories about what? About the oxen? What 127 00:10:34,440 --> 00:10:36,120 has the oxen to do with Christmas? 128 00:10:38,740 --> 00:10:42,640 You know, it's a question. I'm just like, what do 129 00:10:42,640 --> 00:10:47,260 the oxen have to do with Christmas? It's a 130 00:10:47,260 --> 00:10:53,840 question we should answer. I don't want to go deep 131 00:10:53,840 --> 00:11:01,140 in the poem today, I want, like, to concentrate, 132 00:11:01,320 --> 00:11:05,080 to focus on what you said. Like, it seems, you 133 00:11:05,080 --> 00:11:08,340 know, that the poet in this poem is contrasting 134 00:11:08,340 --> 00:11:12,160 between two words, the word of the past and the 135 00:11:12,160 --> 00:11:15,880 word of the present. Okay, this is what you felt. 136 00:11:16,660 --> 00:11:23,540 And you said that the word of the present was, 137 00:11:23,960 --> 00:11:26,160 you know, religious. 138 00:11:28,380 --> 00:11:32,660 was full of religion, and the word of the past, 139 00:11:33,080 --> 00:11:36,820 sorry, the word of the past was very religious, 140 00:11:37,080 --> 00:11:40,460 and the word of the present is not. This reminds 141 00:11:40,460 --> 00:11:48,940 us of whom? Of, no, William Wordsworth or Dover 142 00:11:48,940 --> 00:11:54,100 Beach, the one we all love, let us be true, the 143 00:11:54,100 --> 00:11:58,780 sea of faith, if you remember. Good. Now, I want 144 00:11:58,780 --> 00:12:04,240 to give you a small exercise. Imagine you're 145 00:12:04,240 --> 00:12:09,100 sitting with your grandma and she's talking about 146 00:12:09,100 --> 00:12:09,640 the past. 147 00:12:12,280 --> 00:12:16,840 You know? How do you think she would, you know, 148 00:12:16,920 --> 00:12:20,100 tell stories about the past? What would she say 149 00:12:20,100 --> 00:12:24,900 about the past? and compared or contrasted with 150 00:12:24,900 --> 00:12:27,340 the present. Do you think she would prefer the 151 00:12:27,340 --> 00:12:32,080 present to the past? Okay, what would she say 152 00:12:32,080 --> 00:12:34,120 about the past? Imagine. 153 00:12:37,460 --> 00:12:40,080 She would be confident when she speaks about the 154 00:12:40,080 --> 00:12:42,420 past. Yeah, she would be confident when she talks 155 00:12:42,420 --> 00:12:45,140 about the past. She will praise the past. She will 156 00:12:45,140 --> 00:12:48,460 praise the past for what? Why? That people love 157 00:12:48,460 --> 00:12:54,200 each other. Okay, that people were caring. Loved 158 00:12:54,200 --> 00:12:57,300 each other? Yes, and faced the problem by 159 00:12:57,300 --> 00:13:01,800 cooperation. Yes. Okay. 160 00:13:04,420 --> 00:13:09,740 So yeah, she would talk about cooperation, about 161 00:13:09,740 --> 00:13:12,760 social conjugation. 162 00:13:14,060 --> 00:13:19,020 Yeah, about simplicity, honesty. Strong 163 00:13:19,020 --> 00:13:22,800 relationship. Strong relationship. And of course, 164 00:13:22,860 --> 00:13:27,960 she would talk this as antithesis of the present. 165 00:13:29,200 --> 00:13:32,220 So it's like when she talks about the past in this 166 00:13:32,220 --> 00:13:36,420 way, in fact, she's complaining about the present. 167 00:13:36,800 --> 00:13:39,760 When she says in the past, life was simple, it 168 00:13:39,760 --> 00:13:43,240 means now it is complicated. Life was full of 169 00:13:43,240 --> 00:13:47,150 cooperation, it means today we have selfishness. A 170 00:13:47,150 --> 00:13:52,150 life of caring, today we have carelessness 171 00:13:52,150 --> 00:13:56,990 and so on. Do you think this is happening in the 172 00:13:56,990 --> 00:14:03,890 poem? Is Hardy contrasting between two words? 173 00:14:08,010 --> 00:14:10,930 Yes, I think he contrasted between two words, 174 00:14:11,070 --> 00:14:15,320 especially children. Let's draw boundaries here. 175 00:14:15,800 --> 00:14:19,740 Like the poem, as you see, I don't know, the poem 176 00:14:19,740 --> 00:14:22,500 here, as you see, he's talking, you know. 177 00:14:26,560 --> 00:14:28,540 So we have four stanzas, I think. 178 00:14:34,060 --> 00:14:37,340 This is the stanza number one, Christmas Eve, we 179 00:14:37,340 --> 00:14:41,680 pictured. We have four stanzas. So if you say, 180 00:14:43,400 --> 00:14:46,580 Like, where is he speaking about the present and 181 00:14:46,580 --> 00:14:50,800 where is he speaking about the past? In which 182 00:14:50,800 --> 00:14:54,520 stanza is he speaking about the present? Okay, I 183 00:14:54,520 --> 00:14:57,820 want you like to have one minute or two minutes to 184 00:14:57,820 --> 00:15:01,600 look, you know, on your notebook and to tell me 185 00:15:01,600 --> 00:15:03,780 where he's speaking about the present and where 186 00:15:03,780 --> 00:15:09,080 he's speaking about the past. Go ahead. Where is 187 00:15:09,080 --> 00:15:10,800 he speaking about the present and where is he 188 00:15:10,800 --> 00:15:15,290 speaking about the past? Look at your notebook. 189 00:15:15,430 --> 00:15:18,270 Where? Where? The problem is like you are not 190 00:15:18,270 --> 00:15:20,170 reading. You want to listen to me. That's it. 191 00:15:21,370 223 00:18:22,370 --> 00:18:25,550 modern life, everything has changed. You know, we 224 00:18:25,550 --> 00:18:29,310 lost the flavor of the past. It happened the same, 225 00:18:29,550 --> 00:18:31,810 you know, like the same happened here. 226 00:18:35,470 --> 00:18:40,810 It happened the same, you know, here. I mean, the 227 00:18:40,810 --> 00:18:45,520 same thing happened, you know, in the past. The 228 00:18:45,520 --> 00:18:49,300 Christmas celebrations were different. In the 229 00:18:49,300 --> 00:18:54,860 present, you know, they are different. Okay? Do 230 00:18:54,860 --> 00:18:57,700 you have an idea how Christians celebrate 231 00:18:57,700 --> 00:19:06,240 Christmas in the past, for example? Or you didn't 232 00:19:06,240 --> 00:19:06,620 like 233 00:19:13,030 --> 00:19:20,570 You know, in, for example, in the early, you know, 234 00:19:20,690 --> 00:19:27,710 literary forms, like before, in the past, they 235 00:19:27,710 --> 00:19:34,010 used to, like actors, you know, people, religious 236 00:19:34,010 --> 00:19:39,140 people, they used to have, you know, you know, 237 00:19:39,280 --> 00:19:42,520 carriages and they go from one place to another to 238 00:19:42,520 --> 00:19:47,000 tell stories about the birth of Jesus Christ. 239 00:19:48,740 --> 00:19:54,580 Nowadays, they don't do this anymore. I, you know, 240 00:19:55,180 --> 00:19:58,380 I spent like three days over Christmas with an 241 00:19:58,380 --> 00:20:02,180 English family. They do, you know, what they do on 242 00:20:02,180 --> 00:20:05,820 Christmas, like, I think they just listen to the 243 00:20:05,820 --> 00:20:08,840 queen's speech. Some of them, the religious might 244 00:20:08,840 --> 00:20:14,120 go to the church, but there are even no churches 245 00:20:14,120 --> 00:20:20,060 nowadays. They would just celebrate by eating and 246 00:20:20,060 --> 00:20:25,060 talking, decorating the trees. So the 247 00:20:25,060 --> 00:20:28,760 manifestations are not very traditional. In the 248 00:20:28,760 --> 00:20:33,520 past, they were different. Now, in fact, Hardy, 249 00:20:33,600 --> 00:20:39,920 yes, in this poem, tries to describe two words. A 250 00:20:39,920 --> 00:20:46,660 word of the past, which was full of serenity, 251 00:20:47,440 --> 00:20:51,220 love, cooperation, and a word of the present, 252 00:20:51,880 --> 00:20:55,080 which, you know, lacks all these things. 253 00:20:58,480 --> 00:21:03,980 Now, in fact, if you go to your reader, I left for 254 00:21:03,980 --> 00:21:07,620 you, or there is, you know, a stylistic analysis 255 00:21:07,620 --> 00:21:13,660 of this poem, and how Hardy, you know, was 256 00:21:13,660 --> 00:21:19,220 deliberate, chose certain, I mean, stylistic 257 00:21:19,220 --> 00:21:23,400 choices, like tenses, pronouns, to describe each 258 00:21:23,400 --> 00:21:27,240 word. So when you read it, will be in a better 259 00:21:27,240 --> 00:21:31,300 position even to understand the poem more. And 260 00:21:31,300 --> 00:21:34,400 this is what we are going to do next time. But, 261 00:21:34,700 --> 00:21:39,020 you know, let me continue reading the poem. in 262 00:21:39,020 --> 00:21:41,900 order to have a better idea about the pictures in 263 00:21:41,900 --> 00:21:46,360 the poem. So, as we said, the picture in the poem, 264 00:21:46,760 --> 00:21:49,400 you are having a group of people listening to a 265 00:21:49,400 --> 00:21:54,600 senior, he could be a priest, telling them stories 266 00:21:54,600 --> 00:21:58,520 about the birth of Jesus Christ. So when we 267 00:21:58,520 --> 00:22:02,760 sometimes tell the stories of Prophet Muhammad, 268 00:22:02,940 --> 00:22:08,420 peace be upon him, birth, like, What do we talk 269 00:22:08,420 --> 00:22:14,500 about, like, when Muhammad, peace be upon him, was 270 00:22:14,500 --> 00:22:18,620 born? What do we say? What happened in the 271 00:22:18,620 --> 00:22:25,060 universe? So we might refer to some miracles. Now 272 00:22:25,060 --> 00:22:28,200 also in Christianity, when they talk about Jesus, 273 00:22:29,240 --> 00:22:35,220 they talk about miracles that took place in... Do 274 00:22:35,220 --> 00:22:39,210 we have any miracle here? What is the miracle? You 275 00:22:39,210 --> 00:22:41,610 know what is the miracle? Something unbelievable. 276 00:22:42,030 --> 00:22:44,950 Do we have any miracle here marking the birth of 277 00:22:44,950 --> 00:22:52,070 Jesus Christ? Yes, the oxen kneeling. Because we 278 00:22:52,070 --> 00:22:57,770 know the oxen are animals. Ox, you know, and oxen. 279 00:22:58,010 --> 00:23:02,210 Oxen are animals. So how come they kneel? They 280 00:23:02,210 --> 00:23:07,210 kneel Why? Why would they kneel? Because Jesus 281 00:23:07,210 --> 00:23:10,630 Christ was born. So this is one of the miracles 282 00:23:10,630 --> 00:23:17,470 that coincided with the birth of Jesus Christ. Can 283 00:23:17,470 --> 00:23:22,710 you remember any miracle coincided with the birth 284 00:23:22,710 --> 00:23:26,910 of Prophet Muhammad? What happened? 285 00:23:30,090 --> 00:23:31,990 What happened when he, what happened to the 286 00:23:31,990 --> 00:23:35,610 palaces of, you know, the Persian palaces that 287 00:23:35,610 --> 00:23:42,430 were shaken? Yes? When prophet, and this is an 288 00:23:42,430 --> 00:23:45,170 assignment for you, like, what happened when 289 00:23:45,170 --> 00:23:48,050 Jesus, when sorry, when Muhammad, peace be upon 290 00:23:48,050 --> 00:23:51,110 him, was born? What miracles can you tell me? 291 00:23:54,980 --> 00:23:57,580 You see what I mean? The miracles that accompanied 292 00:23:57,580 --> 00:24:02,160 the birth of Prophet Muhammad, peace be upon him. 293 00:24:02,660 --> 00:24:07,440 You should know that. Okay, see here, one of the 294 00:24:07,440 --> 00:24:16,460 miracles, like the oxen were kneeling. Now, if you 295 00:24:16,460 --> 00:24:21,660 tell a believer about this, what would his 296 00:24:21,660 --> 00:24:22,400 reaction be? 297 00:24:25,310 --> 00:24:32,270 If you tell this story, if you tell the story of 298 00:24:32,270 --> 00:24:36,470 the shaking off of the Persian palaces when 299 00:24:36,470 --> 00:24:41,190 Muhammad peace be upon him was born, what would a 300 00:24:41,190 --> 00:24:45,630 Muslim or a believer say? No? I don't believe? 301 00:24:46,070 --> 00:24:49,450 This is ridiculous? Or he would take it for 302 00:24:49,450 --> 00:24:53,940 granted? he would take it for granted. Similarly, 303 00:24:54,420 --> 00:25:01,240 this is what is happening here. We pictured the 304 00:25:01,240 --> 00:25:08,560 meek, mild creatures where they dwelt, what 305 00:25:08,560 --> 00:25:14,940 happened, where they dwelt in their straw weapon. 306 00:25:17,820 --> 00:25:20,750 Can I have, do you have the reader? We pictured. 307 00:25:21,270 --> 00:25:27,690 What does it mean we pictured? We pictured. What 308 00:25:27,690 --> 00:25:31,050 does it mean we pictured? To picture something? 309 00:25:34,070 --> 00:25:38,570 To imagine something. So what was the reaction of 310 00:25:38,570 --> 00:25:42,510 people? We pictured the creatures. 311 00:25:47,660 --> 00:25:49,900 I don't know, something happened. 312 00:26:00,860 --> 00:26:05,080 We pictured the creatures. We pictured the 313 00:26:05,080 --> 00:26:12,880 creatures doing what? Kneeling. So, it means our 314 00:26:12,880 --> 00:26:20,040 reaction was A reaction of trust, belief, you 315 00:26:20,040 --> 00:26:27,960 know? So this is something good or bad? It is good 316 00:26:27,960 --> 00:26:30,560 when you like trust. 317 00:26:33,280 --> 00:26:39,600 It takes time, you know? So we pictured the meek, 318 00:26:40,520 --> 00:26:47,040 you know? mild creatures where they dwelt in their 319 00:26:47,040 --> 00:26:52,580 straw pen. Nor did it occur to one of us that they 320 00:26:52,580 --> 00:26:53,680 were kneeling. 321 00:26:56,700 --> 00:27:01,900 Okay, but what would happen if somebody is telling 322 00:27:01,900 --> 00:27:07,990 us a story nowadays about this? Say, no, I don't 323 00:27:07,990 --> 00:27:12,570 trust you. Come, come and show me. This is the 324 00:27:12,570 --> 00:27:17,230 difference. Okay? Like this is you know exactly 325 00:27:17,230 --> 00:27:20,130 what is happening in the poem. So I won't like to 326 00:27:20,130 --> 00:27:24,010 finish at this limit because today outside we have 327 00:27:24,010 --> 00:27:27,570 celebrations. But as you see this is a point of 328 00:27:27,570 --> 00:27:31,270 entry. Next time we are going to conduct stylistic 329 00:27:31,270 --> 00:27:34,750 analysis. We're going to see how the poet you know 330 00:27:34,750 --> 00:27:41,930 by certain stylistic choices entrenched like the 331 00:27:41,930 --> 00:27:44,990 division between the past and the present and we 332 00:27:44,990 --> 00:27:47,730 are going to see also the attitude of the Pole. 333 00:27:48,150 --> 00:27:50,930 Thank you very much and see you like Saturday.
