<span>BLANK VERSE - 1. I let my neighbor know beyond the hill;
And on a day we meet to walk the line
And set the wall between us once again.
We keep the wall between us as we go.

BLANK VERSE - 4.It little profits that an idle king,
By this still hearth, among these
barren crags,
Match'd with an aged wife, I mete and dole
Unequal laws unto a savage race,
That hoard, and sleep, and feed, and
know not me.
( Alfred Lord Tennyson, "Ulysses")

Drinking the blude-reid wine:

To sail this schip of mine.

And I am next of kin;
The guests are met, the feast is set:
May'st hear the merry din. ( Samuel Taylor Coleridge, "The Rime

Hope I Helped!
Dear Diary,
It is interesting how life is full of surprises and we can find satisfaction and happiness in situations that we have not planned. It is even more interesting when that satisfaction and happiness is generated when we help other people. I did not imagine that relieving, even a little, the suffering of others would do so much good for my soul and my spirit leaving me so satisfied with myself.
I have always thought that I would only find happiness in actions aimed at my own satisfaction, but by helping a beggar and allowing him to have a little satisfaction in his difficult life journey, I was happy. I liked to take some of the difficulties that the beggar goes through and give him a little comfort generated comfort for me too.
I was also fully happy, excited and full when adopting a pet cat. Knowing that this animal will have a home to protect it and that it will no longer be hungry and thirsty or mistreated, fills my soul with joy.
I intend to do good deeds frequently, because I want to feel this feeling forever, in addition to contributing to the happiness of others.
