Sahir Ludhianvi's: " Twenty Sixth January "           Under the pen name Sahir Ludhianvi, famous urdu poet Abdul Hayee has composed the poem, " Twenti Sixth January " in the background of the crisis which aroused after the partition of India. In 1947 ,  India became independent from the colonial British rule by sacrificing numerous lives of the martyrs with an aim of oneness, prosperity and development. The scenario was  changed soon poverty and religious tension torn the country, sectarianism, communal tension have shown their fangs in the heart of secular nation  .          Poet becomes nostalgic and asks the educated young generations to hover over the series of questions in the post independence period. The beautiful dreams of a ideal state ' Swarajya' has resulted into disillusionment.  Although Country's economic growth has shown positive signs , the number of poor men has increased considerably.

Summary of W.B.Yeats' poem The ' Lake Isle of Innisfree '

-
               Lake Isle of Innisfree 
   
       W.B.Yeats in his poem , ' The Lake Isle of Innisfree ' takes us to a remote, langurous,dreamy atmosphere of the earthly fairy land . Having resided in city life for a prolonged time, the poetic persona wants to take refuge in  lap of Nature. The dull and deary life of the city has suffocated the spirit of the creation so he desires for the solitary and peaceful pastoral life . The poem opens with the Biblical allusion " I will arise and go.." to create a spiritual affinity with mother nature. He wants to stay in  close contact with Nature so he wishes to build and stay in a little room made with clay and twigs. He also desires to plant nine  rows of beans and wishes to get honey from the hives. The humming sound of the bees resonates the ambience. Like Wordsworth,  Yeats also wants to 'live alone' in pastoral settings to experience the spiritual experience. 
     In the second stanza,  poet wants to find  peace in a slow motion in the song of cricket , in cover of morning mist , glowing purple noon , in the clear shiny midnight and in the colourful wings of the little linnets.  

     In the third stanza, poet wishes to get up and go to enjoy the beauty of Innisfree all day and night,  wants to enjoy the soft melodies of the breaking of small waves on the shore. When he will return to the city or stand on the pavement or on the roadway , he wants to make the sound a cascade of joy and store it in the deepest chamber of his heart. This kind of spiritual kinship with Nature will infuse Devine force in his spirit.

Joseph Addison's essay on Sir Roger de    Coverley                       The age of Queen Anne is marked by the development of what may be called " social prose " . This is usually in the form of the short story or essay, and subject is usually some of the aspects of contemporary life. This form and its beginning  are to be found in the Tatler and Spectator of Addison and Steele. Addison's prose is simply and intelligible and although he undoubtedly took great pains to make it finished and was about the first to regard prose writing as an art,  it always appears natural and unaffected.                     (Joseph Addison)          In his essay readers find some glimpses of a country gentleman named Sir Roger.  His unique personality and household affairs have been described. He has been represented as a very good man from the bottom of his heart. He treated even his servants with cordiality and love.  Joseph Addison has presented Sir Roger as a living char
