\nThis sentence is taken from Roger Bannister\u2019s inspirational essay The First Four Minutes\u2019. It is his personal experience.<\/p>\n
\nBannister looked at the flag as he lined up for the start. The flag swayed gently. The race started. He understood that he was going very slow. He himself shouted \u2018Faster\u2019. His worry increased when he heard the first lap time 57.5 seconds. In that excitement his knowledge of pace had deserted him. At one and a half laps he was still worrying about the pace. Then a voice shouting \u201cRelax\u201d penetrated into him above the noise of the crowd. He followed it and started relaxing. There was no pain and stress. Later, he came to know that it was his coach \u2018Stampfl\u2019s advice.<\/p>\n

\nAnswer:
\nIntroduction :
\nThese are the opening lines of the impressive poem, The Noble Nature\u2019 written by Ben Jonson. He is regarded as the second most popular of English dramatists, after Shakespeare.<\/p>\n
\nThe poet employs examples from flora to drive home his point. He straight away introduces the main idea how to become a better man. But, mere bulk doesn\u2019t make one great. Smartness, even in small measure, impresses and impacts everyone. Neither long life nor large size can help one attain nobility. Quality counts more than quantity. Motherwords, matter matters, not the magnitude!. To explain this, the poet compares man to both an Oak tree and a Lily.<\/p>\n
\nThe poem seeks to explain what makes Man noble in his life.<\/p>\n
\nAnswer:
\nIntroduction :
\nThis line is taken from the poem, The Noble Nature penned by Ben Jonson. He is regarded as one of the major dramatists and poets of the Seventeenth Century.<\/p>\n
\nThe poem says leading a meaningful life even for a short while is worthier than leading a long life with neither charm nor value. The core meaning of the poem centres round this single idea. The lily plant has a short life. It blooms in May and is very beautiful. Although the flower has the life span of a day and falls and dies by nightfall, it spreads beauty and delight in that short period. The poet feels, that a meaningful life like lily flower though short is what makes a man noble. Even though a man\u2019s life is short, it can be a perfect life.<\/p>\n
\nThe poet advises one to lead a meaningful life-of light-like that of a lily.<\/p>\n
\nAnswer ANY ONE of the following questions in about 100 words. [1 \u00d7 4 = 4]<\/p>\n
\nAnswer:
\nBannister narrates his eventual victory of the race in the essay. During the first lap of the rase, Bannister looked at the flag as he lined up for the start. The flag fluttered gently as the sails moved gently in Bernard Shaw\u2019s Saint Joan. He felt complete silence on the ground.
\n
\nWhen the gun fired for the second time, Brasher went into the lead and he slipped in behind him. It seemed his legs lost control of himself. He understood that he was going very slow. He himself shouted \u2018Faster\u2019. His worry increased when he heard the first lap time 57.5 seconds. In that excitement his knowledge of pace had deserted him. However, he could succeed.<\/p>\n
\nAnswer:
\nDr. Roger Bannister was the first man to run the race of one mile in 3 minutes 59.4 seconds. He narrates his eventual victory of race in this essay. In the final spurt, he got the strength from his will power. He had turned the last bend. There was only 50 yards more to be run. His body tired and consumed all his energy. But, it went on running. That strength came from great will power. At that juncture, determination, dedication and strong will power lead him ahead. Therefore, he could succeed with his will power.<\/p>\n
\nAnswer ANY ONE of the following questions in about 100 words. [1 \u00d7 4 = 4]<\/p>\n
\nAnswer:
\nBen Jonson’s poem, The Noble Nature is one of his most popular lyrics. This short poem discusses a noble thought in simple style. That profound message is expressed clearly with the help of example and images from nature. It highlights the point that equality counts more than quantity.<\/p>\n
\nAnswer:
\nBen Jonson, in the poem, The Noble Nature talks about what makes a man noble. He compares man to a sturdy Oak and to a delicate Lily in order to explain this point. The Lily plant has a short life. It blooms in May and is very beautiful.
\n
\nAlthough, the flower has the span of a day and dies by nightfall it spreads beauty and delight in that short period the poet feels that a meaningful life like the Lily flower, though short, is what makes a man noble and even though a man\u2019s life is short it can be perfect life. People will continue to talk good about him even after he is gone. This is what actually makes a man noble, thus, beauty counts a lot.<\/p>\n
