I Dare Not Fall for You No! It shouldn't be right; A disturbed thought it is, a frenzy at night. This rigid rush in my heart Picturing your visage as the best work of art, And all the other Things Fall Apart. But no! How do I dare To picture your countenance as such, and take care Of me not to fall for you? This for sure is just a coup 'gainst every single nerve; From my reason, a sharp swerve; I dare not fall for you.

Can't find this poem's meaning! Would you please help me with understanding this? Science, that simple saint, cannot be bothered Figuring what anything is for: Enough for her devotions that things are And can be contemplated soon as gathered. She knows how every living thing was fathered, She calculates the climate of each star, She counts the fish at sea, but cannot care Why any one of them exists, fish, fire or feathered. Why should she? Her religion is to tell By rote her rosary of perfect answers. Metaphysics she can leave to man: She never wakes at night in heaven or hell Staring at darkness. In her holy cell There is no darkness ever: the pure candle Burns, the beads drop briskly from her hand. Who dares to offer Her the curled sea shell! She will not touch it!–knows the world she sees Is all the world there is! Her faith is perfect! And still he offers the sea shell . . . What surf Of what far sea upon what unknown ground Troubles forever with that asking sound? What surge is this whose question never ceases?I couldn't find the meaning of this poem and I have a presentation tomorrow! :(

How to read faster?

I must read lots of books in a short time and I have this problem of reading quite slowly. ( It's partly because I should read full text original books in English rather than reading them in Persian.)

What's your suggestions on the ways of fast reading? How can I be able to read more book in a short time?

A Review of the "Father and Daughter" Father and Daughter, an 8 minute animated film, is indeed one of the best works of the Dutch director Michael Dudok de Wit. This short has a remarkable capacity to be called a masterpiece. "Father and Daughter" shows a story of longing, missing, waiting. It commences with two figures of them riding their bicycles in perfect symmetry. They climb to the top of a hill. The father climbs down to the seashore, but he cannot resist running back and giving her little daughter a parting hug. Afterwards, he takes the boat which perhaps heads towards Hades. The girl returns over and over again as she clings to the hope that her father will be back. Each return shows a stage in the girl's life; from a child to a young girl, a mother and finally an old woman. She goes to the vintage point no matter it is winter or spring, rainy, windy, or sunny. It seems like she is never apart from the longing she feels deep in her heart. There is no such thing as Pixar or Disney pictures in this short animated film, yet the simple landscapes and hints of black, white, brown, and gray together with silhouettes and concise shadows surprisingly evoke emotions of the audience. Great shots such as the girl struggling with the wind, the old woman sleeping in the boat like an embryo, and the reunion of the girl and her father at the end is really exquisite. The background music by Norman Roger adds to the depth of the work and helps it to be more touching. Constant ringing of the bicycle bell is also agreeable. I am moved by this film and I highly recommend it to those who want to be amazed by something worth watching.

Preconception One of the major problems of these days all around the world is preconception, but this issue should be defined first. In my opinion, preconception is a poisonous way of looking at people or events around us_ poisonous because it prevents us from striving for finding out the truth about that particular person or event, as we think that we already know everything necessary! Nevertheless, it is not a good idea to judge people based on a bias thought or only one source. If we are in doubt about a group of people, a school of thought etc, we should be open to learning more about them not only by our own resources but also by theirs; different justifications for or against that subject must be considered, and then we can decide. (Actually it's better to be in doubt rather than being sure by preconceptions!) Only then can we claim to be an open-minded modern humankind who cares about morals. I used the word humankind on purpose, since human must be kind!

Who is a student?! Sitting down in my bedroom and trying to find something to write about, I came across a topic which, hopefully, is not a bad one. Who is a student? A student is a usually thin, impecunious person who strives for financial independence in vain. He is an omelet eater who has a great interest in taking a catnap, especially in a classroom, as if the lectures are lullabies. If a wise one, s/he tries to develop a peaceful professor-student relationship. These poor creatures can be divided into some categories such as: • Bookworms: these students have an intense interest in studying. Rarely can they be found. Moreover, the other types of students may find them repulsive. • Happy-go-lucky students: they like to enjoy everything, as well as the university. They usually hit the books at the eleventh hour. • Unlucky students: they neither study nor enjoy the university. Some of them are almost always stressed out. They are the very epitome of losers. Not only are they struggling with different problems during their study years, but they also have difficulty finding a steady job after graduation. (There are exceptions of course. Those who have connections in high places, the same as the rich, don't have to be worry about anything.) Despite all these things, being a student can be endlessly fascinating.
