a. It happened thus. In drifting about the old curiosity shops of a cathedral city I came upon a portfolio

of water-colour drawings, among which was one that to my eye would have been a possible Turner,

ever if an earlier owner had not shared that opinion or hope and set the magic name with all its

initials beneath it.

till, for the point of this narrative resides not in bargaining with collectors, but in bargaining with

my own soul.

c. No man is justified in inviting danger in order to flaunt his superiority to an idle fancy. Moreover,

probably that fancy has its roots in the common sense fact that a man on a ladder does occasionally

drop things. No doubt many of our superstitions have these common place and sensible origins.

d. But these shadowy reminiscences of antique credulity which we discover in ourselves play no part

in the lives of any of us. They belong to a creed outworn. Superstition was disinherited when

science revealed the laws of the universe and put them in his place.

a. I could not but be very much delighted with several modern epitaphs, which are written

with great elegance of expression and justness of thought, and therefore do honour to the living as well as to the dead. As a foreigner is very apt to conceive an idea of the ignorance or politeness of a nation, from the turn of their public monuments and inscriptions, they should be submitted to the perusal of men of learning and genius, before they are put in execution.

b. His rising fogs prevail upon the day: Besides his goodly fabric fills the eye, And seems design’d for thoughtless majesty: Thoughtless as monarch oaks, that shade the plain, And, spread in solemn state, supinely reign. Heywood and Shirley were but types of thee, Thou last great prophet of tautology:

Page 15: Roll No: Sophia Girls’ College, Ajmer · Sophia Girls’ College, Ajmer (Autonomous) Semester VI – 2017- 18 End Semester Examination Class : B.A English Honours Paper II : [ENGH-602]:

c. Could not but observe with a great deal of pleasure, the joy that appeared in the countenances of these ancient domestics upon my friend’s arrival at his country-seat. Some of them could not refrain from tears at the sight of the old master; every one of them pressed forward to do something for him, and seemed discouraged if they were not employed. At the same time the good old knight, with a mixture of the father and the master of the family, tempered the inquiries after his own affairs with several kind questions relating to themselves. This humanity and good nature engages everybody to him, so that when he is pleasant upon any of them, all his family are in good humour, and none so much as the person whom he diverts himself with: on the contrary, if he coughs, or betrays any infirmity of old age, it is easy for a stander-by to observe a secret concern in the looks of all his servants.

d. Those rules of old discover’d, not devis’d, Are Nature still, but Nature methodis’d; Nature, like liberty, is but restrain’d By the same laws which first herself ordain’d.

e. A beautiful prospect delights the soul, as much as a demonstration; and a description in Homer has charmed more readers than a chapter in Aristotle. Besides, the pleasures of the imagination have this advantage above those of the understanding, that they are more obvious, and more easy to be acquired. It is but opening the eye, and the scene enters. The colours paint themselves on the fancy, with very little attention of thought or application of mind in the beholder. We are struck, we know not how, with the symmetry of anything we see, and immediately assent to the beauty of an object, without inquiring into the particular causes and occasions of it.

Attempt any 3 of the following questions. Each question carries 10 marks.

15. Bring out the satirical elements in Mac Flecknoe. 16. What basic principles of criticism does Pope postulate in Essay on Criticism? 17. Draw a pen portrait of Sir Roger based on the essay Sir Roger at Home. 18. Attempt a critical summary of Pleasures of Imagination. 19. Comment upon the aptness of the title Meditations in Westminster Abbey.
