1. //After Prayers, Lie Cold//: Arise my body, my small body, we have striven Enough, and He is merciful; we are forgiven. Arise small body, puppet-like and pale, and go, White as the bed-clothes into bed, and cold as snow, Undress with small, cold fingers and put out the light, And be alone, hush'd mortal, in the sacred night, -A meadow whipt flat with the rain, a cup Emptied and clean, a garment washed and folded up, Faded in colour, thinned almost to raggedness By dirt and by the washing of that dirtiness. Be not too quickly warm again. Lie cold; consent To weariness' and pardon's watery element. Drink up the bitter water, breathe the chilly death; <span style="background-color: #ffffff; color: #333333; font-family: Arial,sans-serif; font-size: 14px;">Soon enough comes the riot of our blood and breath.
 * Three Famous Poems:**

2. //As the Ruin Falls// <span style="background-color: #ffffff; color: #333333; font-family: Arial,sans-serif; font-size: 14px;">All this is flashy rhetoric about loving you. <span style="background-color: #ffffff; color: #333333; font-family: Arial,sans-serif; font-size: 14px;">I never had a selfless thought since I was born. <span style="background-color: #ffffff; color: #333333; font-family: Arial,sans-serif; font-size: 14px;">I am mercenary and self-seeking through and through: <span style="background-color: #ffffff; color: #333333; font-family: Arial,sans-serif; font-size: 14px;">I want God, you, all friends, merely to serve my turn.

<span style="background-color: #ffffff; color: #333333; font-family: Arial,sans-serif; font-size: 14px;">Peace, re-assurance, pleasure, are the goals I seek, <span style="background-color: #ffffff; color: #333333; font-family: Arial,sans-serif; font-size: 14px;">I cannot crawl one inch outside my proper skin: <span style="background-color: #ffffff; color: #333333; font-family: Arial,sans-serif; font-size: 14px;">I talk of love --a scholar's parrot may talk Greek-- <span style="background-color: #ffffff; color: #333333; font-family: Arial,sans-serif; font-size: 14px;">But, self-imprisoned, always end where I begin.

<span style="background-color: #ffffff; color: #333333; font-family: Arial,sans-serif; font-size: 14px;">Only that now you have taught me (but how late) my lack. <span style="background-color: #ffffff; color: #333333; font-family: Arial,sans-serif; font-size: 14px;">I see the chasm. And everything you are was making <span style="background-color: #ffffff; color: #333333; font-family: Arial,sans-serif; font-size: 14px;">My heart into a bridge by which I might get back <span style="background-color: #ffffff; color: #333333; font-family: Arial,sans-serif; font-size: 14px;">From exile, and grow man. And now the bridge is breaking.

<span style="background-color: #ffffff; color: #333333; font-family: Arial,sans-serif; font-size: 14px;">For this I bless you as the ruin falls. The pains <span style="background-color: #ffffff; color: #333333; font-family: Arial,sans-serif; font-size: 14px;">You give me are more precious than all other gains.

<span style="background-color: #ffffff; color: #333333; font-family: Arial,sans-serif; font-size: 14px;">Strangeness that moves us more than fear,

<span style="background-color: #ffffff; color: #333333; font-family: Arial,sans-serif; font-size: 14px;">Beauty that stabs with tingling spear,

<span style="background-color: #ffffff; color: #333333; font-family: Arial,sans-serif; font-size: 14px;">Or Wonder, laying on one's heart

<span style="background-color: #ffffff; color: #333333; font-family: Arial,sans-serif; font-size: 14px;">That finger-tip at which we start

<span style="background-color: #ffffff; color: #333333; font-family: Arial,sans-serif; font-size: 14px;">As if some thought too swift and shy

He grew up in the suburb of Chicago, but his family had a cabin in northern Michigan. Which helped inspire him with his writings. This is where he learned to fish, hunt and really appreciate the outdoors. In high school Ernest worked in his school newspaper, mostly writing about sports. He also worked as a journalist for the //Kansas City Star//, it was there that he got a lot of experience with writing, which later helped with his own books. His style of economical and understated strongly influenced the 20th century fiction. He worked as a journalist, and had a collection of his stories published //In Our Time//. He is mostly a novel writer but wrote some poems on the side. Some of his most famous books are //A Farewell to Arms, For Whom the Bell Tolls, The Sun Also Rises, and The Old Man and the Sea,// this poem won a Pulitzer in 1953. Also Hemingway received the Nobel Prize in 1954. He served in WWI, as an ambulance driver in the Italian Army. Later he was awarded the Italian Medal of Bravery. He got injured and had to go to the hospital in Milan, where he met Agnes von Kurowsky, a nurse, he soon proposed to her but she left him for another guy. With this happening he was inspired to write “A Very Short Story” which is commonly referred to as //A Farewell to Arms//. Hemingway went back to the U.S and got a job at the //Toronto Star,// in Chicago and met Hadley Richardson, which would be his first wife. They moved to Paris and Ernest worked as a foreign correspondent for the //Toronto Star.// While living in Paris, 1952, the couple joined a British and American group, which took trips to festivals. Which helped inspired Ernest for writing his first novel //The Sun Also Rises//. A little after the book was published Ernest and Hadley got a divorce, when Hadley found out of his affair with another woman, Pauline Pfeiffer. Which later became his second wife. When Pauline became pregnant, they moved back to America to have their son Patrick Hemingway in 1928. Ernest summered in Wyoming, where he finished the WWI novel //A Farewell to Arms//. Hemingway struggled with suicide at the peak to his career. His body was falling apart, from the injuries from WWI, depression, high blood pressure, and liver disease. Through his sufferings he wrote //A Moveable Feast//, which was a memoir of the years he spent in Paris. On July 2, 1961 Ernest Hemingway committed suicide at his home in Ketchum.

**__William Morris:__**

Background Information:

William Morris was born in Elm House, Walthamstow on March 24, 1834. Out of nine children he was the third and the oldest boy. During his youth his family was very rich, but at the age of 21 Morris had an annual income of just 900 pounds, which was not a whole lot back in those days. While growing up he was spoiled and had a temper that followed him his whole life. He was so spoiled that one day he threw his meal out the window because he did not like how it was prepared. Also while growing up he had a great appreciation for things in the mediaeval. When he was just four years old he started to read //Sir Walter Scott’s Waverley Novels// and was done reading them by the age of nine. He fell in love with the nature around him, which influenced his poetry and art. When William was just fourteen his father died in 1847. After his father died he went to Marlborough College, but later when a riot occurred in 1851 he left and continued school at home. One of Morris’s closest friends was Edward Burne-Jones, they had lots of similarities. While at Oxford, Morris joined the undergraduate aesthetic group, which was highly influenced by Tennyson’s poems. William started writing poetry, which he was inspired by Tennyson, Browning, Keats, and Chaucer. After getting his pay check he decided to leave the clerical studies and traveled to the Gothic cathedrals to become a artists, so he left Oxford the end of the year. At first many did not like Morris’s poems, but Swinburne really pushed William to get his poetry published. In 1857 William met Jane Burden and they got married in Oxford in 1859, he was 25 and see was 18. After two years of marriage Jane was moody and ill, and then she had a long affair with Morris’s coworker Rossetti. This broke both Williams relationship with Jane but also Rossetti. In the first two years on marriage Jane and William had two daughters, May and Jenny. Morris founded the Kelmscott Press; he died worn out for all the hard work at the Kelmscott House.

<span style="background-color: #ffffff; color: #333333; font-family: Arial,sans-serif; font-size: 14px;">Still strain the banner-poles <span style="background-color: #ffffff; color: #333333; font-family: Arial,sans-serif; font-size: 14px;">Through the wind's song, <span style="background-color: #ffffff; color: #333333; font-family: Arial,sans-serif; font-size: 14px;">Westward the banner rolls <span style="background-color: #ffffff; color: #333333; font-family: Arial,sans-serif; font-size: 14px;">Over my wrong.
