Like you, i accepted the copernican position several years ago. . i have written up many of my reasons and refutations on the subject, but i have not dared until now to bring them into the open, being warned by the fortunes of copernicus himself, our master, who procured immortal fame . . , only to be derided and dishonored. i would dare publish my thoughts if there were many like you; but, since there are not, i shall forebear. why is galileo reluctant to share his discoveries? he thinks his discoveries have come too late. he has been told by copernicus to keep his ideas secret. he does not want to be mistreated like copernicus was. he thinks enough other people share his beliefs.

Read the selection below and answer the question. an open boat by alfred noyes o, what is that whimpering there in the darkness? 

 'let him lie in my arms. he is breathing, i know.
 look. i'll wrap all my hair round his neck' – the sea's rising,
 the boat must be lightened. he's dead. he must go.' 


 see - quick - by that flash, where the bitter foam tosses, 
 the cloud of white faces, in the black open boat, 
 and the wild pleading woman that clasps her dead lover 
 and wraps her loose hair round his breast and his throat.
 'come, lady, he's dead.' - 'no, i feel his heart beating,
 he's living, i know. but he's numbed with the cold. 
 see, i'm wrapping my hair all around him to warm him.' -
- 'no. we can't keep the dead, dear. come, loosen your hold.

 'come. loosen your fingers.' - 'o god, let me keep him! ' -
 o, hide it, black night! let the winds have their way! 
 and there are no voices or ghosts from that darkness, 
 to fret the bare seas at the breaking of day. the rhyme scheme of "an open boat" is abcb abab abba aabc
