means, so he can ride into town, the end. So it
goes until the ultimate end is reached, happiness.

reflection, Hallam's tragic death has proved to be
an event that provoked Tennyson's embarkation upon
a much more ambitious poetic project than
conventional Miltonian elegy, involving meditation
upon the profoundest questions faced by mankind.

fields of geology and bio...

Oil Crisis Stock Market

Recently, the stock market has been very unstable.
After a period of extremely good business and
market highs, it seems we are experiencing just
the opposite. The market has become increasingly
