UNSEEN POETRY AND PROSE

Read the poem and answer the question
Bent-double, like old beggars under sacks,
Knock-kneed, coughing like hags, we curse through sludge
Till on the haunting flares we turned our backs,
And towards our distant rest began to trudge,
Men marched asleep, many had lost their boots,
But limped on, blood-shed. All went lame, all blind;
Drunk with fatigue; even deaf to the hoots
Of gas-shells dropping softy behind.

Read the passage and answer the question

world have been Heathcliff's miseries, and I watched and felt each from the beginning.My great thought in living is himself. If all else perished, and he remained, I should still continue to be. And if all else remained, and he were annihilated, the universe would be turned to a mighty stranger _ is should not seem a part of it. My love for Linton is like the foliage in the woods; time will change it, I'm well aware, as winter changes the trees. My love for Heathcliff resembles the eternal rocks beneath _ as source of little visible delight, but necessary. Nelly, I am Heathcliff!. He's always, always in my mind _ not as a pleasure to myself, but as my own being....
