Malam

Malam
Kau ingatkan aku akan kenangan
Malam
Kau bius aku dengan hayalan

Gundah gulana ku curahkan
Tuk melepas kepenatan
Tuk membuang kekesalan
Tuk mencari pencerahan

Beribu nasihat kudapatkan
Jutaan saran kudengarkan
Namun begitu sulit tuk dikerjakan
Karena aku tak punya keberanian

Dengan nama cinta aku berkorban
Atas nama cinta harga diri ini tergadaikan
Untuk cinta semuanya kukorbankan
Karena cinta pula aku terus bertahan

This next poem is by William Shakespeare.

The Seven Ages of Man

All the world’s a stage,
And all the men and women merely players;
They have their exits and their entrances;
And one man in his time plays many parts.
His acts being seven ages. At first the infant,
Mewling . . . in the nurse’s arms.
And then the whining schoolboy,with his satchel
And shining morning face . . .And then the lover,
Sighing like a furnace . . . Then a soldier
Full of strange oaths . . . Jealous of honor,
Sudden and quick in quarrel . . . And then the
justice . . .
Full of wise saws and modern instances;
And so he plays his part. The sixth age shifts
Into the lean and slippered pantaloon.
With spectacles on nose and pouch on side.
. . . and his big manly voice,Turning again toward
Childish treble, pipes and whistles in his sound.
Last scene of all,
That ends this strange eventful history,
Is second childishness, and mere oblivion,
Sans teeth, sans eyes, sans taste, sans everything.

1. What attitude does the speaker reveal by using
the word merely in the second line?
a. sorrow
b. anger
c. amusement
d. indifference

2. What characterizes the period of life represented

a. brash behavior
b. his sense of honor
c. his dedication to duty
d. his fear of cowardice

3. What is the main idea of this poem?
a. Life is a misery that never gets any better at any time.
b. Life is what each of us makes of it during our journey down the river of eternity.
c. Life is a play and it follows a specific script, none of which should cause anguish or sorrow.
d. Life is a comedy, and we are all buffoons in pantaloons no matter what we do.

4. What is the theme of the poem?
a. Death is to be feared.
b. Life is a circle that brings us back to the beginning.
c. The male of the species is the only true measure of the stages of life.
d. The stages of life are unrelated and can be altered by each individual’s free will.

5. The poet uses the words merely (line 2) and mere (line 20)
a. to soften the effect of the strong images he presents to us in those lines.
b. to tie together his theme of the cycle of life.
c. convey his tone to the reader.

Because I Could Not Stop for Death

Because I could not stop for Death—
He kindly stopped for me—
The carriage held but just Ourselves—
And Immortality.

We slowly drove—He knew no haste,
And I had put away
My labour, and my leisure too,
For His Civility—

We passed the School, where children played
At Recess—in the Ring—
We passed the fields of gazing grain—
We passed the Setting Sun.

We paused before a house that seemed
A swelling of the ground—
The roof was scarcely visible—
The cornice but a mound.

Since then—this centuries; but each
Feels shorter than the Day
I first surmised the Horses’Heads
Were toward Eternity—

Reading 01

The lives of the Ancient Greeks revolved around
eris, a concept by which they defined the universe.
They believed that the world existed in a
condition of opposites. If there was good, then
there was evil, if there was love, then there was
hatred; joy, then sorrow; war then peace; and so
on. The Greeks believed that good eris occured
when one held a balanced outlook on life and
coped with problems as they arose. It was a kind
of ease of living that came from trying to bring
together the great opposing forces in nature. Bad
eris was evident in the violent conditions that
ruled men’s lives. Although these things were
found in nature and sometimes could not be
controlled, it was believed that bad eris occurred
when one ignored a problem, letting it grow
larger until it destroyed not only that person,
but his family as well. The Ancient Greeks saw
eris as a goddess: Eris, the Goddess of Discord,
better known as Trouble.
One myth that expresses this concept of
bad eris deals with the marriage of King Peleus
and the river goddess Thetis. Zeus, the supreme
ruler, learns that Thetis would bear a child strong
enough to destroy its father. Not wanting to
father his own ruin, Zeus convinces Thetis to
marry a human, a mortal whose child could
never challenge the gods. He promises her,
among other things, the greatest wedding in all of
Heaven and Earth and allows the couple to invite
whomever they please. This is one of the first
mixed marriages of Greek Mythology and the
lesson learned from it still applies today. They do
invite everyone . . . except Eris, the Goddess of
Discord. In other words, instead of facing the
problems brought on by a mixed marriage, they
turn their backs on them. They refused to deal
directly with their problems and the result is
tragic. In her fury, Eris arrives, ruins the wedding,
causes a jealous feud between the three major
goddesses over a golden apple, and sets in place
the conditions that lead to the Trojan War. The
war would take place 20 years in the future, but
it would result in the death of the only child of
the bride and groom,Achilles. Eris would destroy
the parents’ hopes for their future, leaving the
couple with no legitimate heirs to the throne.
Hence, when we are told, “If you don’t
invite trouble, trouble comes,” it means that if we
don’t deal with our problems, our problems will
deal with us . . .with a vengeance! It is easy to see
why the Greeks considered many of their myths
learning myths, for this one teaches us the best
way to defeat that which can destroy us.

1. According to the passage, the ancient
Greeks believed that the concept of eris
defined the universe
a. as a hostile, violent place.
b. as a condition of opposites.
c. as a series of problems.
d. as a mixture of gods and man.

2. Most specifically, bad eris is defined in
the passage as
a. the violent conditions of life.
b. the problems man encounters.
c. the evil goddess who has a golden apple.
d. the murderer of generations.

3. It can be inferred that Zeus married Thetis
off because
a. he needed to buy the loyalty of a great king of mankind.
b. he feared the gods would create bad eris by competing over her.
c. he feared the Trojan War would be fought over her.
d. he feared having an affair with her and, subsequently, a child by her.

4. It can also be inferred that Zeus did not fear a
child sired by King Peleus because
a. he knew that the child could not climb Mt. Olympus.
b. he knew that the child would be killed in the Trojan War.
c. he knew that no matter how strong a mortal child was, he couldn’t overthrow an immortal god.
d. he knew that Thetis would always love him above everyone else.

5. According to the passage, Achilles
a. defeated Zeus during the Trojan War.
b. dies during the Trojan War.
c. was born 20 years after the war because of the disruption Eris caused at the wedding.
d. was the illegitimate son of Peleus.

5. Which of the following statements is the message offered in the myth?
a. Do not consider a mixed marriage.
b. Do not anger the gods.
c. Do not ignore the problems that arise in life.
