Which two lines does Bob Kaufman use to show alienation and isolation in modern society? Unanimity Has Been Achieved, Not a Dot

Less for Its Accidentalness by Bob Kaufman (excerpt) Diggers, corkscrewing cleanly in, exhilerausted, into the mind mine, impaled on edgeless shafts of subtle reminiscence, green- walking across the belts and ties. Slanted dark-walked time, wet with ages of dryness, Raga of insignificance & blessed hopelessness. Raga of sadness, of madness, of green screamed dreams, mile-deep eyes. The greatest men have gone unknown: Buddha was the twenty- fourth.

  • Diggers, corkscrewing cleanly in, exhilerausted, into the mind mine, impaled on edgeless shafts of subtle reminiscence, green- walking across the belts and ties.

In this sentence, the author uses words such as the "mind mine" and "reminiscence," which imply that the subject of his poem spends a lot of time alone with his thoughts. This lack of company or interaction with others highlight issues of isolation and alienation.

  • Slanted dark-walked time, wet with ages of dryness, Raga of insignificance & blessed hopelessness.

"Dark-walked time," "ages of dryness," "insignificance" and "hopelessness" allude to the lack of <em>presence</em> of the subject. It also points to feeling small and unimportant. Loneliness often has these effects (feeling insignificant, feeling like there is no purpose to existence, not being present in the moment). Therefore, the sentence reiterates the suffering of alienation and isolation.

If the options are:

A. Viewers would have to infer the emotions and motivations of Ben and Regina.
B. Viewers would have to envision the physical descriptions of Ben and Regina.
C. Viewers would have to imagine the few props being used by Ben and Regina.
<span>D. Viewers would have to visualize the actions and movements of Ben and Regina.
</span>
Then the right answer is A. In stage and film adaptations, there is no need for the viewers to envision physical descriptions, imagine props, or visualize actions and movements. They can already see all of that, as the directors have already taken care of it. We only have to visualize all these things when we read the play. However, inferring the inner enigmas of characters' motivations is still up to us.

Sonbull [250]
"And on the point now in question seems to be altogether blind and babbling" seems to sum up the opinion of the ancient Greeks and their studies of processes like the motion of matter perhaps because at that time of history of the classical learning much of it was based on pure speculation without going out and getting one's hands dirty and really perceiving phenomena with one's 5  senses as Georgius Agricola did in going down in underground mines to find out firsthand how mining was carried out.

Elena L [17]

Answer:

.....is not only difficult, but also dangerous.....

Explanation:

It´s not a good idea to ride a bike on a flat tire, instead you should buy a new flat and replace it immediately. If you insist in riding on around on a flat tire (this task will not be that easy to do),  you probably will destroy your bike definitely and put yourself and others at serious risk of having an accident.   ..... for both you and your bike."
