In the poem Alone Poe states “all I lov’d—I lov’d alone—” which means that whenever he had loved someone or something he loved it alone‚ with no one to love it with him

Each day the dog still comes back‚ even if he was scrutinized

Gilgamesh vs. Noah By It is said that life is 10% what you make it and 90% how you take it. It is not the circumstances of life that determine a person’s character. Rather‚ it is the way a character responds to those circumstances that provides a display of who he is. "From the Epic of Gilgamesh"‚ as translated by N.K. Sandars‚ and "Noah and the Flood" from the Book of Genesis‚ both Gilgamesh and Noah face similar circumstances‚ but don’t always respond to them the same way. Accepting
