Which set of lines provides a contrast to the description of the river? Little river! Little river!
Why forsake your mountain home,
Like an arrow from a quiver1,
Flashing by in froth and foam?

5 Downward dashing, plunging, leaping,
Is it rest that you pursue?
Is it yon lake that, sleeping,
Calmly seems to wait for you?

In that lake you may not tarry—
10 Brief the pause that allowed you there;
Soon you’ll leave with all you carry,
Rushing on your mad career.

A larger inlet next receives you;
Longer respite it bestows;
15 Its seeming calm again deceives you—
Respite only, not repose2.

Will you seek it in the ocean,
Mingling with its boundless blue?
Speedily dismiss the notion
20 That the sea has rest for you.

With its restless billows blending,
Tempest-tossed and turned to rain,
On some mountain top descending,
You’ll begin your course again.

25 While the sun continues burning,
I, like you, my race must run—
The wheel of change forever turning—
Nowhere rest beneath the sun!

life will not be easy it will be filled with war, lack of resources, damaged planet, and lack of land to live on.

i imagine life will be easier in the sense that we will have better technology and better health and medical advances as well as infustructure growth and economic resilliance we will have much stronger militaries and probably be constintly fighting with other countries for resources and lang that is actually cleanenough to live or farm on . as well i think the need for fresh water will only brainliest answer lol

hi there!

one thousand and one nights, also called the arabian nights is a collection of middle eastern tales compiled in arabic during the islamic golden age, dated from the 8th to the 14th century. this collection was compiled of largely middle eastern and indian stories with an uncertain date and autorship whose tales such as aladdin, ali baba and sinbad the sailor -these ones were the most popular ones, the ones that have almost become part of western folklore.

as in much medieval european literature, the stories contained in this collection are set within a frame story. its scene is central asia, as known as "the islands or peninsulae of india and china", where king shahryar kills his wife after discovering her infidelities and as well as any other who betrayed him.   then, loathing all womankind, he marries and kills his new wife each day until no more candidates could have been found. his vizier had two daughters, scheherezade and dunyazad. the elder one -scheherezade- having devised a scheme to save herself and the others insisted that her father needed to give her in marriage to the king. each evening, she used to tell a story leaving it incomplete and promising to finish it the following night. the stories kept the king very interested, so eager to hear evey ending of each story, that he puts off her execution from day to day and finally he decided to give up with his plan. these stories are contained within the collection of 1001 nights, the bulk of the text is in prose, although verse is usually used for songs and riddles to express better the heightened emotion of them.

"the sandy walls seemed to collapse in on themselves"

and

"the bloodshot waters seemed to have no bottom"
