(1*8 MARKS) Three passions, simple but overwhelmingly ‘strong, have governed my life: the longing for love, the search for knowledge, and unbearable pity for the suffering of mankind. These passions, like great winds, have blown me hither and thither, in a wayward course, over a deep ocean of anguish, reaching to the very verge of despair. T have sought love, first, because it brings ecstasy—ecstasy so great that I would often have sacrificed all the rest of life for <4Class-XII English \few. hours of tl joy. I have sought it, next, jecause it relieves loneliness—that terrible loneliness in which one _ shivering consciousness looks over the rim of the world into the cold unfathomable lifeless Abyss. I have sought it, finally, because, in the union of love, I have seen, in a mystic miniature, the prefiguring vision of the heaven that saints and poets have imagined. This is what I sought and, though it might seem too good for human life, this is what at least I have found. With equal passion, I have sought knowledge. I have wished to understand “|Class-XII English the hearts of men. I have wished to know why the stars shine. And I have tried to apprehend the Pythagorean power by which number holds sway over the flux. A little of this, but not much, I have achieved. Love and knowledge, so far as they were possible, led upward toward the heavens. But always pity brought me back to earth. Echoes of cries of pain reverberate in my heart. Children in famine, victims tortured by oppressors, helpless old people a hated burden to their sons, and the whole world of loneliness, poverty, and pain make a mockery of what human life should b 4Linn chent abpeseh t hutnent at alk er to aldensate theevil, bat Katha he bufferedClass-XII English 2 State the most significant trait of the writer and support your answer with reference to the passage. 1 Ars - ah mort Atgw ficant host 4 the Woapdn & hn hori tive ixmeat hownty hich pon he justified ee dn ate eh Auoach for Mehl) Aye: , { _ |Class-XII English 3 The writer says, “A little of this, but not much, I LE achieved.” why he one t achieve much Wy Tha wair 2 a lc thle dy adn, bat nol mach ram igs achieved fieiiieanes Lite ty ddwon Limild Approoch ond enbeetations, bok Lena aa bond alin eh pay end li). _—_iClass-XII English 4 Why does the writer compare love © the prefiguring vision of heaven? . othe AD 1 BA Comp ans fon p He mitt omg Cine huaven becomar lave Can enhotee mm weit ty tHe en bt behich 2 nent +0 Araven on ged: _——Class-XII English 5 Replace the underlined phrase with the proper meaning as used in the passage... ..that terrible loneliness ich one shivering cancsne aks uy of the world into... e 47] _ |Class-XII English’ 1 6 What does the use of the phrase, ‘sway over the flux’ suggest in the passage? 1 RS Pry.
