what is the exact meaning of  this  piece of poem:love how it sells poor bless for proud despair?
359349
Incidentally, the word is BLISS, not BLESS. Here's the whole poem:\n\n"Virtue, how frail it is!\nFriendship, too rare!\nLove, how it sells poor bliss\nFor proud despair!\nBut we, though soon they fall,\nSurvive their joy, and all\nWhich ours we call."\n\n\nThe lines in question seem to mean that love often begins with bliss and ends in despair. Love "sells" bliss by exchanging it for despair when love is gone. Good question.

"I hate People" From the musical Scrooge.\n\n"Scavengers and sycophants and flatterers and fools\nPharisees and parasites and hypocrites and ghouls\nCalculating swindlers, prevaricating frauds\nPerpetrating evil as they roam the earth in hordes\nFeeding on their fellow men\nReaping rich rewards\nContaminating everything they see\nCorrupting honest men like me\nHumbug! Poppycock! Balderdash! Bah!\nI hate people! I hate people!\nPeople are despicable creatures\nLoathesome inexplicable creatures\nGood-for-nothing kickable creatures\nI hate people! I abhor them!\nWhen I see the indolent classes\nSitting on their indolent asses\nGulping ale from indolent glasses\nI hate people! I detest them! I deplore them!\nFools who have no money spend it\nGet in debt then try to end it\nBeg me on their knees befriend them\nKnowing I have cash to lend them\nSoft-hearted me! Hard-working me!\nClean-living, thrifty and kind as can be!\nSituations like this are of interest to me\nI hate people! I loathe people! I despise and abominate\npeople!\nLife is full of cretinous wretches\nEarning what their sweatiness fetches\nEmpty minds whose pettiness stretches\nFurther than I can see\nLittle wonder I hate people\nAnd I don't care if they hate me!"\n\nTruly, the perfect song!

Hi\nHere's a rough translation! I've tried to translate as close to the original meaning as possible (eg by translating some idiomatic phrases into their english counterparts with similar meanings)\n\nHataraku yo (Move it) *\n(by Puffy)\n\nMove it, those of you who can move it\nShow your ambition to be a pro\nIt’s when you feel like crying that you have to strive\nYou’d put on your makeup as always\nShowing everyone a happy face\nSometimes even deceiving with your smiles\nBut I have to tell you, it’s not worthwhile\nThe true end-result is everything\nIt’s only you, from the bottom of my heart\nIt’s only you, who shows her tears\nYou’re a hard-worker, so brighten up\nOr it’ll somehow be a painful thing\n\nGet on and move it, those of you who can move it\nIf you fall in love, things get uncertain\nAnd everything seems to be a dream \nSo don’t show anyone your tears\nTry an image change\nWin a victory, with your true face\nDon’t think about failure\nOr you’d be gambling with your own future\nYour mother and I have just one\nIdea firm in our hearts:\nThat a strong girl\nHas to be a good girl\nSo move it, move it\n\nShow your ambition to be a pro\nTry your very best right when you long to cry from sorrow\nShow everyone a happy face:\nMove it, move it\nWhen you fall in love, you get confused\nAnd everything seems to be a dream\nBut don’t show us your tears\nMove it, moving one\nMove it, move it.\n\n*Hataraku can either mean to physically work (in a job, etc) or to make use of one's brains, etc. But the context of the song makes "get moving" or "get cracking" more fitting \n\n--hope it helps! cheers and happy thanksgiving

He is talking about the truest form of love, the union between two souls, spiritual union.  Check out the website I've attached.  It will take you through the poem line by line, explaining it.\n\nGood luck with it.  I've always found John Donne's poetry a bit heavy for me.

The lyric dosen't hold tight to an actual meaning,but a qeust for an understanding of the  medium of the heart  which directs our wants and desiers for acceptance and love.  'fore sometimes we fall into illussions that society's dictate is all we have,yet reality is that love is love,thus my recomendation would be follow your own..\n 'lest thee fall into the lower mind of desirer.\n  Truth is love is................\n you don't need to follow someone elses lic's to find an answer..................................

I think it's beautiful that you are able to find words to clothe your emotions in order to express them on paper and allow them passage.  Artistic expression captures those innermost feelings that most everyone experiences at one time or another.  Earlier this moring I was reading something on pain I'd like to share with you.  \n\n"pain is the following of the line of the greatest resistance and thereby reaching the summit of the mountain; pain is the smashing of the form and the reaching of the inner fire; pain is the cold of isolation which leads to the warmth of the central sun; pain is the burning in the furnace in order finally to know the coolness of the water of life; pain is the journeying into the far country, resulting in the welcome to the Father's Home; pain is the illusion of the Father's disowning, which drives the prodigal straight to the Father's heart; pain is the cross of utter loss, that renders back the riches of the eternal bounty; pain is the whip that drives the struggling builder to carry to utter perfection the building of the Temple.\nThe uses of pain are many, and they lead the human soul out of darkness into light, out of bondage into liberation, out of agony into peace. That peace, that light and that liberation, with the ordered harmony of the cosmos are for all the sons of men."

Despite about 25 minutes of searching I haven't been able to find this poem.  Could you call or e-mail someone you know who has to do the same assignment and possibly get the poem that way?  \n\nThese sites may be of some help to you.  My only other advice would be to get to a bookstore in your area if there is one and you might find it there.  Best of luck with it.

"Its about two young lovers who have just meant and as the song goes on their love progresses. At first he is reminising on all the good times they've had and how she made him feel 'whole' again.\nThe next verse is how he's got to the point where he doesnt value himself anymore and all he can think and care about is her. \nAnd even though they've had bad times and raging arguments they'll still always be friends because they each share that bond that no one else has"\n\nhttp://www.songmeanings.net/lyric.php?lid=3530822107858485373&offset=25&page=2#comments

This one?\n\nHow do I love thee? Let me count the ways.\nI love thee to the depth and breadth and height\nMy soul can reach, when feeling out of sight\nFor the ends of being and ideal grace.\nI love thee to the level of every day's\nMost quiet need, by sun and candle-light.\nI love thee freely, as men strive for right.\nI love thee purely, as they turn from praise.\nI love thee with the passion put to use\nIn my old griefs, and with my childhood's faith.\nI love thee with a love I seemed to lose\nWith my lost saints. I love thee with the breath,\nSmiles, tears, of all my life; and, if God choose,\nI shall but love thee better after death.\n\n    -- Elizabeth Barrett Browning

Like a suqare peg in a round hole... \nLike a harp without its strings... \nLike a sailor who sails no oceans, \nLike a bird that has no wings... \n\nWithout love, I am a desert, \nWithout love, my light is dim... \nWithout love, I have no treasures... \nWithout love, I cannot win \n\n(Without love) ... We are like ships in the night \n(Without love) ... Selling our souls down the river \nSailing away and forever our pleasure is blue.... \n\nLike a dream that has no dreamer, \nLike a cloud without a sky... \nLike a truth with no believer, \nLike a mother without a child... \n\nWithout love, I have no pleasures, \nWithout love, my light is dim... \nWithout love, I have no treasures... \nWithout love, my chance is slim \n\n(Without love) ... We are like ships in the night \n(Without love) ... Selling our souls down the river \nSailing away and forever our pleasure is blue....

Although grammatically incorrect and lacking steady timbre, there is no doubt as to the feeling and emotion expressed in your poem. I don't know about your friend but if he or she read it I am sure that they would continue to be a friend for life. Good luck.

Take everything left from me\nAll!\nTo!\nBlame!\n\nHow can we still succeed, taking what we don't need?\nTelling lies, alibis, selling all the hate that we breed.\nSupersize our tragedies! (You can't define me or justify greed)\nBought in the land of the free! (Land! Free!)\n\nAnd we're all to blame,\nWe've gone too far,\nFrom pride to shame,\nWe're trying so hard,\nWe're dying in vain,\nWe're hopelessly blissful and blind\nTo all we are,\nWe want it all with no sacrifice!\n\nRealize we spend our lives living in a culture of fear.\nStand to salute; say thanks to the man of the year.\nHow did we all come to this? (You can't define me or justify greed)\nThis greed that we just can't resist! (Resist!)\n\nAnd we're all to blame,\nWe've gone too far,\nFrom pride to shame,\nWe're trying so hard,\nWe're dying in vain,\nWe're hopelessly blissful and blind\nTo all we are,\nWe want it all.\nEveryone wants it all with no sacrifice!\n\nTell me now, what have we done? We don't know.\nI can't allow what has begun to tear me down,\nBelieve me now, we have no choice left with our \nBacks against the wall!\n\nAnd now we're all to blame,\nWe've gone too far,\nFrom pride to shame,\nWe're hopelessly blissful and blind\nWhen all we need\nIs something true\nTo believe,\nDon't we all?\nEveryone, everyone,\nWe will fall.\n\n'Cause we're all to blame\nWe've gone too far,\nFrom pride to shame,\nWe're trying so hard,\nWe're dying in vain,\nWe want it all,\nEveryone, don't we all?

Are you referring to Frederick Douglass?\n\nIf so, this is a very stirring poem about a champion of the Ethiopian People.  The poem laments his death, praises his victories, and promises to continue to strive towards that which Douglass held so dear - freedom, honesty and a right life.\n\nAlthough I had never heard of Douglass before this poem, I believe he was a great man who stood for the poor and the weak and tried to make a better place for them, standing up to injustice and unfairness.

Coming together is a beginning; keeping together is progress; working together is success.\n\nIn prosperity, our friends know us & in adversity, we know our friends. \n\nAnger is a condition in which the tongue works faster than the mind. \n\nYou can't change the past, but you can ruin the present by worrying over the future.\n\nLove...and you shall be loved. \n\nAll people smile in the same language. \n\nEveryone needs to be loved.. especially when they do not deserve it. \n\nThe real measure of a man's wealth is what he has invested in eternity. \n\nEveryone has beauty but not everyone sees it. \n\nIt's important for parents to live the same things they teach. \n\nIf you fill your heart with regrets of yesterday and the worries of tomorrow, you have no today to be thankful for. \n\nThe choice you make today will usually affect tomorrow. \n\nTake time to laugh, for it is the music of the soul. \n\nPatience is the ability to idle your motor when you feel like stripping your gears. \n\nLove is strengthened by working through conflicts together. \n\nHarsh words break no bones but they do break hearts. \n\nTo get out of a difficulty, one usually must go through it. \n\nWe take for granted the things that we should be giving thanks for. \n\nLove is the only thing that can be divided without being diminished. \n\nHappiness is enhanced by others but does not depend upon others. \n\nFor every minute you are angry with someone, you lose 60 seconds of happiness that you can never get back. \n\nDo what you can, for who you can, with what you have, and where you are.

It's an awesome song, but I'm not quite sure what it means.\n\nIt might mean that the writer of the song wasn't writing about heartbreaks and how much love sucks and stuff(tragedies), but instead, he wrote about sins and stuff.\n\nI dunno.

Give me a passion for souls, dear Lord,\nA passion to save the lost;\nO that Thy love were by all adored,\nAnd welcomed at any cost.\n\n(Refrain)\nJesus, I long, I long to be winning\nMen who are lost, and constantly sinning;\nO may this hour be one of beginning\nThe story of pardon to tell.\n\nThough there are dangers untold and stern\nConfronting me in the way,\nWillingly still would I go, nor turn,\nBut trust Thee for grace each day.\n\n(Refrain)\n\nHow shall this passion for souls be mine?\nLord, make Thou the answer clear;\nHelp me to throw out the old life line\nTo those who are struggling near.
