I. Fill each of the following blanks with correct information: (65%)
1. Bent double, __(1)__ old beggars under sacks,
Knock-kneed, coughing like __(2)__, we cursed through sludge,
Till on the haunting flares we turned our __(3)__,
And towards our distant rest began to trudge.
2. Dim through the misty panes and thick green light,
As under a green __(4)__, I saw him __(5)__.
3. A poem should be palpable and mute
As globed __(6)__,
Dumb
As old __(7)__ to the thumb,
...
4. Sundays too my __(8)__ got up early
And put his clothes on in the blueblack __(9)__,
Then with __(10)__ hands that ached
From labor in the weekday weather made
Banked fires __(11)__. No one ever __(12)__ him.
The above lines are quoted from __(13)__ by Rober __(14)__.
5. That is not the voice of a __(15)__
nor a common reader
it is someone young in anger
hardly knowing what to ask
who finds our lines our __(16)__
__(17)__ in this world.
6. True ease in writing comes from art, not __(18)__,
As those move easiest who have learned to dance.
'Tis not enough no __(19)__ gives offence,
The __(20)__ must seem an echo to the __(21)__.
7. Look. Here in the __(22)__ spoil
The dishonored __(23)__ of his girl
Who has put: Steffi. Vergissmeinnicht
In a copybook gothic __(24)__.
The German title of this poem, Vergissmeinnicht means __(25)__
8. The __(26)__ sea and the long black land;
And the yallow half-moon large and low;
And the startled little __(27)__ that leap
In fiery ringlets from their sleep,
As __(28)__ gain the cove with pushing prow,
...
9. Then a mile of warm sea-scented beach;
Three fields to cross till a __(29)__ appears;
A __(30)__ at the pane, the quick sharp scratch
And blue spurt of a lighted __(31)__,
And a __(32)__ less loud, through its joys and fears,
Than the two hearts beating each to each!
The above poem is titled __(33)__, written by __(34)__.
10. Round the cape of a sudden came the __(35)__,
And the __(36)__ looked over the mountain's rim:
And straight was a path of gold for him,
And the need of a world of __(37)__ for me.
In the poem quoted above, the word "him" in the 3rd line refers to __(38)__.
And the title of this poem is __(39)__.
11. But wherefore says she not she is unjust?
And wherefore says not I that I am __(40)__?
Oh, love's best habit is in seeming trust,
And age in __(41)__ loves not to have years told:
Therefore I __(42)__ with her and she with me,
And in our faults by __(43)__ we flattered be.
In the lines quoted above, the word "wherefore" means __(44)__.

luscious the little
lame __(48)__
whistles far and wee
...

13. When I have fears that I may __(50)__ to be
Before my __(51)__ has gleaned my teeming brain,
Before high piled __(52)__, in charactery,
Hold like rich garners the full-ripened __(53)__;
14. __(54)__ are things of dry hours and the involuntary plan,
Grayed in, and gray. "__(55)__" makes a giddy sound, not strong
Like "rent," "feeding a wife," "satisfying a __(56)__."
15. What happens to a dream __(57)__?
Does it dry up
Like a raisin in the __(58)__?
Or fester like a __(59)__
