Sound the Flute!
Now it's mute.
Birds delight
Day and Night.
Nightingale
In the dale
Lark in Sky
Merrily
Merrily Merrily to welcome in the Year

Little Boy
Full of joy.
Little Girl
Sweet and small,
C**k does crow
So do you.
Merry voice
Infant noise
Merrily Merrily to welcome in the Year

Little Lamb
Here I am,
Come and lick
My white neck.
Let me pull
Your soft Wool.
Let me kiss
Your soft face.
Merrily Merrily we welcome in the Year.

There is no time like Spring,
When life's alive in everything,
Before new nestlings sing,
Before cleft swallows speed their journey back
Along the trackless track, —
God guides their wing,
He spreads their table that they nothing lack,
Before the daisy grows a common flower,
Before the sun has power
To scorch the world up in his noontide hour.

Christina Rossetti

A Day on the Indus

Away from the confines of classrooms and the routine of academia, the faculty of the Department of English, Govt. Postgraduate College Swabi, embarked on a journey to the tranquil banks of the Indus. In the embrace of its timeless flow, we savored sumptuous meals, shared hearty laughter, and let the grandeur of nature inspire our souls. The river’s wisdom, flowing endlessly, reminded us of the beauty in life’s ebb and flow, as we wove memories that will linger like the verses we cherish.

In this moment of stillness and grandeur, we rediscovered the essence of life: to pause, to reflect, and to connect. The Indus, vast and timeless, reminded us that even in the rush of our duties, there is beauty in simply being—sharing stories, embracing joy, and letting the river of time carry us gently forward. It was not just a day away from the classroom; it was a chapter in our own story, one written with laughter, friendship, and the indelible poetry of the Indus.

"If I read a book [and] it makes my whole body so cold no fire can ever warm me, I know that is poetry. If I feel physically as if the top of my head were taken off, I know that is poetry."

"My true love hath my heart"
By Sir Philip Sidney
My true love hath my heart, and I have his,
By just exchange one for the other given.
I hold his dear, and mine he cannot miss;
There never was a better bargain driven.
His heart in me keeps him and me in one;
My heart in him his thoughts and senses guides;
He loves my heart, for once it was his own;
I cherish his, because in me it bides.
His heart his wound received from my sight;
For as from me on him his hurt did light
So still methought in me his hurt did smart:
Both equal hurt, in this change sought our bliss;
My true love hath my heart, and I have his.

The American philosopher and professor, Noam Chomsky, loses the ability to speak and write at 95 years old, this forces him to give up the throne of speech, in which he exposed the truth about global systems some of his most famous sayings:

- There is no such thing as a poor country. There's only one failed system in resource management!

- No one will put the truth in your mind, it's something you have to discover for yourself

- If you want to conquer a people, create an imaginary enemy who seems more dangerous than you, then be their savior.

- One of the clearest lessons in history; "Rights are not granted, they are taken by force."

-There is a purpose in distorting history and making it seem like great men did it all. It's part of how you teach people who can't do anything, that they are powerless. and they should just wait for a great man to do it.

MY NOVEMBER GUEST

"A Pair of Blue Eyes" is a novel by Thomas Hardy, first serialized between September 1872 and July 1873 in Tinsley's Magazine, and published in book form in 1873. It is Hardy's third published novel and marks the first time he published under his own name rather than anonymously.

The story follows Elfride Swancourt, a young woman caught in a love triangle between two suitors: Stephen Smith, a working-class architect, and Henry Knight, a gentleman of higher social standing. The novel explores themes of love, social conventions, and the limitations faced by women in the 19th century. Elfride's struggles with her feelings and societal expectations highlight the tension between personal desire and social duty.

Hardy’s portrayal of Elfride is particularly notable, as he delves into her emotional landscape and the sacrifices she must make. The narrative is rich with poignant moments that reflect on honor, sacrifice, and loss, showcasing Hardy's ability to depict the complexities of human relationships.

The novel is also recognized for its dramatic elements, including cliffhangers and ironic twists, which keep readers engaged. Hardy's exploration of the Victorian relations between the sexes and the emerging post-Darwinian themes set the stage for his later, more mature works. Overall, "A Pair of Blue Eyes" is a significant contribution to Hardy's literary legacy, blending romance with social critique.

"Animal Farm" is a satirical allegorical novella by George Orwell, first published on August 17, 1945. The story is set on a farm where a group of anthropomorphic animals rebel against their human farmer, hoping to create a society where they can be free and equal.

The narrative begins with the animals, led by the pigs, overthrowing Mr. Jones, the negligent farmer. They establish their own set of rules, encapsulated in the famous maxim, "All animals are equal." However, as the pigs, particularly Napoleon and Snowball, gain power, the initial ideals of the revolution become corrupted. The pigs gradually begin to resemble the oppressive humans they replaced, ultimately leading to a society that is just as tyrannical as before.

Orwell's novella serves as a critique of totalitarianism and a reflection on the Russian Revolution and the rise of Stalinism. Through the characters and events on the farm, Orwell explores themes of power, corruption, and the betrayal of revolutionary ideals. The story illustrates how those in power can manipulate language and ideology to maintain control, making it a timeless commentary on the nature of authority and governance.

"Animal Farm" remains a powerful and relevant work, often studied for its insights into political dynamics and human behavior. Its enduring message about the dangers of unchecked power continues to resonate with readers around the world.
