3-I served under many pilots,
and had experience of many
kinds of steamboat men and
many varieties of
steamboats...I am to this day
profiting somewhat by that
experience; for in that brief,
sharp schooling, I got
personally and familiarly
acquainted with about all the
different types of human
nature that are to be found in
fiction, biography, or history...
The figure that comes before
me oftenest, out of the
shadows of that vanished
time, is that of Brown, of the
steamer Pennsylvania-

What reason does antigone give for her death being crueler than all the others?

This excerpt is from “the poet” by alfred, lord tennyson. the poem describes a poet's consciousness and perception. which three lines suggest the richness of a poet's thoughts? thus truth was multiplied on truth, [the world like one great garden show'd,] and thro' the wreaths of floating dark upcurl'd, rare sunrise flow'd. [and freedom rear'd in that august sunrise] her beautiful bold brow, when rites and forms before his burning eyes melted like snow. [there was no blood upon her maiden robes] sunn'd by those orient skies; but round about the circles of the globes of her keen eyes and in her raiment's hem was traced in flame wisdom, a name to shake [all evil dreams of power--a sacred name.] and when she spake, [her words did gather thunder as they ran,] and as the lightning to the thunder which follows it, riving the spirit of man, making earth wonder, so was their meaning to her words. no sword of wrath her right arm whirl'd, [ but one poor poet's scroll, and with 'his' word] she shook the world.

What is the main source of irony in this poem? -the idea that winning is really losing -the idea that failures hold success in higher esteem than those who are successful -the idea that dying is winning
