ID THE POEM?

Who beheads thistles,On oak-trees and mountain-tops;You still must leavemy Earth to me,And my hut, which you did not build,And my stove,Whose glowYou envy me.

I know no poorer creaturesUnder the sun, than you, Gods!You barely sustain yourselfFrom sacrificial offeringsAnd exhalated prayersYour MajestyAnd would wither, wereNot children and beggarsHopeful fools.

When I was a child,And did not know where from or to,I turned my seeking eye towardThe sun, as if beyond there wasAn ear to hear my complaint,A heart like mine,To have mercy with the embattled one.

Who helped meAgainst the Titans' might?Who saved me from Death,From Slavery?Did you not accomplish it all yourself,Holy glowing Heart?And glowed, young and good,Deceived, thanks for salvationTo the sleeping one up there?

30/-15

Shall I honour you? What for?Have you softened the pains,Ever, of a burdened one?Have you silenced the tears,Ever, of an anguished one?Was I not forged into a ManBy almighty TimeAnd eternal Fate,My masters and yours?

Do you imagineI should hate life,Flee to the desert,Because not everyFlowering dream bloomed?

Here I sit, forming humansIn my image;A people to be like me,To suffer, to weep,To enjoy and to delight themselves,And to not attend to you –As I.

In 1935, if you wanted to read a good book, you needed either a lot of money or a library card. Cheap paperbacks were available, but their poor production generally tended to mirror the quality between the covers.

X paperbacks were the brainchild of Allen Lane, then a director of The Bodley Head. After a weekend visiting Agatha Christie in Devon, he found himself on a platform at Exeter station searching its bookstall for something to read on his journey back to London, but discovered only popular magazines and reprints of Victorian novels.

Appalled by the selection on offer, Lane decided that good quality contemporary fiction should be made available at an attractive price and sold not just in traditional bookshops, but also in railway stations, tobacconists and chain stores.

Toxicodendron radicans, better known as X(older synonyms are Rhus toxicodendron and Rhus radicans), is a poisonous North American plant that is well known for its production of urushiol, a clear liquid compound found within the sap of the plant that causes an itching, or sometimes painful rash in most people who touch it.

X can be found growing in any of the following three forms:as a trailing vine that is 10–25 centimetres (3.9–9.8 in) tall.as a shrub up to 1.2 m tall (4 feet)as a climbing vine that grows on trees or some other support

The plot for which movie?

In 1947 when the maps of India and Pakistan were being drawn, an oversight ensured that the village of Paglapur didn’t find a place in either country. The village had the distinction of housing the largest mental asylum in the region and in the melee that ensued during partition, the asylum inmates broke loose, drove away the villagers and established their own republic in Paglapur. And that’s how it stayed for the next 60 years! While the world outside changed, Paglapur remained isolated, with no electricity, television or sanity! Now, decades after the world forgot this village, a NASA scientist of Indian origin, Raj and his beautiful wife, Manali find themselves on the road to Paglapur. Raj is working on a top secret project for creating a device to communicate with aliens. So why is he in a village whose colourful inhabitants include a man who speaks in gibberish, another who thinks he is a lamp post and everyone else who think Mahatma Gandhi is still around, fighting for independence?

10/-5

One of the probable root of the expression X comes from Greek God Janus (who was X) even though the expression has nothing in similarity in meaning with its root.

The meaning of X in OXFORD DICTIONARY is insincere and deceitful.

The first appearance of the word X is from 1784 and means an odd person.But the current sense did not appear until 1867 and then it was in the United States.There is a well-known myth about the word X, which says that in 1791 a Dublin theater owner named James Daly made a bet that he could introduce a word into the language within twenty-four hours. He then went out and hired a group of street urchins to write the word X, which was a nonsense word, on walls around the city of Dublin. Within a day, the word was common there is no evidence to support the story, and the term was alcurrency and had acquired a meaning (since no one knew what it meant, everyone thought it was some sort of test) and Daly had some extra cash in his pocket. However, there is no evidence to support the story, and the term was already in use before the alleged bet in 1791.. What is X?
