Read the following passage and answer the questions that follow:
What can be the use of a poetry that has no true subject except the poet's own selfhood? The traditional use of poetry in the Western world has been
instruction through delight, where teaching has meant the common truths or common deceptions of societal tradition, and where esthetic pleasure has
meant a fulfillment of expectations founded upon past joys of the same design.
But an individual psyche has its own accidents, which it needs to call truths, and its own necessity for self-recognition, which requires the pleasures of
originality, even if those pleasures depend upon a kind of lying against time, and against the achievements of the past. The use of such poetry demands to
be seen in a deidealized way, if it is to be seen more truly.

No worst, there is none.
No worst, there is none. Pitched past pitch of grief,
More pangs will, schooled at forepangs, wilder wring.
Comforter, where, where is your comforting?
Mary, mother of us, where is your relief?
My cries heave, herds-long; huddle in a main, a chief
Woe, wórld-sorrow; on an áge-old anvil wince and sing—
Then lull, then leave off. Fury had shrieked 'No lingering!
Let me be fell: force I must be brief."'
O the mind, mind has mountains; cliffs of fall
Frightful, sheer, no-man-fathomed. Hold them cheap
May who ne'er hung there. Nor does long our small
Durance deal with that steep or deep. Here! creep,
Wretch, under a comfort serves in a whirlwind: all
Life death does end and each day dies with sleep.

What can be the use of a poetry that has no true subject except the poet's own selfhood? The traditional use of poetry in the Western world has been
instruction through delight, where teaching has meant the common truths or common deceptions of societal tradition, and where esthetic pleasure has

originality, even if those pleasures depend upon a kind of lying against time, and against the achievements of the past. The use of such poetry demands to
be seen in a deidealized way, if it is to be seen more truly.

Read the following poem and answer the questions that follow:
No worst, there is none.
No worst, there is none. Pitched past pitch of grief,
More pangs will, schooled at forepangs, wilder wring.
Comforter, where, where is your comforting?
Mary, mother of us, where is your relief?
My cries heave, herds-long; huddle in a main, a chief
Woe, wórld-sorrow; on an áge-old anvil wince and sing—
Then lull, then leave off. Fury had shrieked 'No lingering!
Let me be fell: force I must be brief."'
O the mind, mind has mountains; cliffs of fall
Frightful, sheer, no-man-fathomed. Hold them cheap
May who ne'er hung there. Nor does long our small
Durance deal with that steep or deep. Here! creep,
Wretch, under a comfort serves in a whirlwind: all
Life death does end and each day dies with sleep.
- Gerard Manley Hopkins
