In book 9 of the odyssey, ulysses saves himself and his men by blinding polyphemus. which lines reflect the cyclops's disappointment at being defeated by guile and not by strength?
oh heavens! oh faith of ancient prophecies!
this, telemus eurymedes foretold
(the mighty seer who on these hills grew old;
skill'd the dark fates of mortals to declare,
and learn'd in all wing'd omens of the air);

long since he menaced, such was fate's command;
and named ulysses as the destined hand.
i deem'd some godlike giant to behold,
or lofty hero, haughty, brave, and bold;
not this weak pigmy wretch, of mean design,
who, not by strength subdued me, but by wine.
but come, accept our gifts, and join to pray
great neptune's blessing on the watery way;
for his i am, and i the lineage own;
the immortal father no less boasts the son.

What is the main conflict in this excerpt from “rumplestiltskin” by the brothers grimm?

This excerpt is from “the poet” by alfred, lord tennyson. the poem describes a poet's consciousness and perception. which three lines suggest the richness of a poet's thoughts? thus truth was multiplied on truth, [the world like one great garden show'd,] and thro' the wreaths of floating dark upcurl'd, rare sunrise flow'd. [and freedom rear'd in that august sunrise] her beautiful bold brow, when rites and forms before his burning eyes melted like snow. [there was no blood upon her maiden robes] sunn'd by those orient skies; but round about the circles of the globes of her keen eyes and in her raiment's hem was traced in flame wisdom, a name to shake [all evil dreams of power--a sacred name.] and when she spake, [her words did gather thunder as they ran,] and as the lightning to the thunder which follows it, riving the spirit of man, making earth wonder, so was their meaning to her words. no sword of wrath her right arm whirl'd, [ but one poor poet's scroll, and with 'his' word] she shook the world.
