let me appologize to begin with

To my greatest teacher, Sirs,

By quoting Linkin Park’s lyric, let me apologize to begin with. Sir, my mind was just too wild to be controlled. It wandered everywhere. Yes, physically I was sitting there yesterday, in the second row of the right side of my class, but my mind was not. I tried to focus and listened to you. But I could not. That’s why I could not answer your question which you asked.

Sir, I like Browning. I read all the four Browning’s poems mentioned in the syllabus. I know Abt Vogler, I know Porphyria’s lover, I know Andrea del Sarto and the Grammarian Funeral. Those four poems were written in the Victorian age, an age of energy and vitality. It was an age of duality, which is marked by turbulence and a lot of prosperity. Greatly influenced by Freud, the focus of Browning poems is the alternation of poetry and thought. He always places his character in the dramatic situation, in which one’s personality is put in the psychological conflict to make their choice. Possessing an obsessive love, Porphyria’s lover decided to strangle her in order to preserve the moment of love. Andrea del Sarto is a great painter whose conflicts lays between his personal life and professional life. A grammarian funeral talks about a grammar master who spends his entire life to find the best method of learning grammar. He has a misleading thought, in which according to him that the most important thing in learning is the method and not the content itself. The last is Abt Vogler. In opposition to Andrea del Saltro who says that he can make any great painting for he has the talent to do so, Abt Vogler is a musician who is aware that whatever he achieve in the world is the result of divine inspiration.

I also know, sir, who discovered America and that Suez Canal is an artificial waterway which connects Mediterranean Sea with the Gulf of Suez, an arm of the Red Sea. I know Darwin, I know Freud, and I know Karl Mark. I know Einstein, Newton, Copernicus, Ptolemy, and Al-Battani. I know Aristotle, I know Plato, and I know Socrates. I speak English, I speak German, I speak Chinese, and I speak tora- tora Hindi. I know Gandhi, I know Soekarno, I know George Washington. What is more, I WAS good in math, in physic, and chemist when I WAS in my senior secondary school.

But thousands apologize, sir. I do not like Yeats. Although I agree to the proverb which saying that “sublimity is the echo of a great soul”, I cannot figure out what Yeats is trying to say in his Easter, 1916. And thus I prefer to think about my girl friend than to listen to your discussion on his poem. I prefer to watch Golmaal 3 than to do the assignment.

Finally, excuse me, sir. I have to wake up and come to your class at nine fifteen. Otherwise, I will miss your class again.

Best regard
