In these lines, we can understand at a superficial level what Kabir is asking the swan. We see that Kabir asks the swan about its origin. He wants to know where the swan comes from and what it seeks.

However, there is another level in which we can read this story. It seems like Kabir is also trying to talk to God in this poem. He wants to learn about God and heaven, and he wants to extract this information from the swan. He asks the swan where Heaven is, and what it is like.

Answer:

Kabir is a poet who is really well-know by the theme of all his work, which refers to God in general words, he talks about the soul and spirituality without getting involved in any specific religion since he doubts about the veracity of all of them to portray what God means. Therefore the poem “Tell me, O Swan, your ancient tale” is asking about the soul, peace, and faith of a place called heaven, where is it? and how can you get there? he is questioning the eternal questions that most people have had al least once about heaven and celestial paradise.

Explanation:

Kabir has several poems that go around the same topic, they are characterized for being short and precise, with a few lines he expresses his mind about God, he also questions the sense of owing and connection with the soul and ourselves, he believes that God could not be named, conceptualized or understood.

Why were Americans, including President Jefferson, unable to to treat Haitians as “brave and courageous human beings"?
Cloud [144]

Answer:

:The Haitian Revolution and the subsequent emancipation of Haiti as an independent state provoked mixed reactions in the United States. This led to uneasiness in the US, instilling fears of racial instability on its own soil and possible problems with foreign relations and trade between the two countries.

US president Thomas Jefferson realized the revolution had the potential to cause an upheaval against slavery in the US not only by slaves, but by white abolitionists as well. Southern slaveholders feared the revolt might spread from the island of Hispaniola to their own plantations. Against this background and with the declared primary goal of maintaining social order in Haiti, the US attempted to suppress the revolution, refusing acknowledgement of Haitian independence until 1862.

The US also embargoed trade with the nascent state. American merchants had conducted a substantial trade with the plantations on Hispaniola throughout the 18th century, the French-ruled territory providing nearly all of its sugar and coffee. However, once the Haitian slave population emancipated itself, the US was reluctant to continue trade for fear of upsetting the evicted French on one hand and its Southern slaveholders on the other.

Against this, there were anti-slavery advocates in northern cities who believed that consistency with the principles of the American Revolution — life, liberty and equality for all — demanded that the US support the Haitian people.

Which elements keep you most interested in a fictional book? Check any that apply.
Kazeer [188]
Well, it depends on the genre of that non-fictional book. For instance, a mystery book would make the audience interested if there was an unsolved mystery included, but an adventure book, for instance, might hook the reader if it was actually based on historical events and something like the book described had actually happened. Therefore, for a fictional book, I would say all of these interest me depending on the type of book.
