himself?
will arise and go now, and go to Innisfree,
And a small cabin build there, of clay and wattles made;
Nine bean rows will I have there, a hive for the honey bee,
And live alone in the bee-loud glade.
And I shall have some peace there, for peace comes dropping slow,
Dropping from the vells of the morning to where the cricket sings;
There midnight's all a glimmer, and noon a purple glow,
And evening full of the linnet's wings.
I will arise and go now, for always night and day
I hear lake water lapping with low sounds by the shore;
While I stand on the roadway, or on the pavements grey,
hear it in the deep heart's core.

Explanation:

In this beautiful poem by author W. B. Yeats, the speaker wishes to get away from the city and go build a cabin by a lake. He makes it clear that he wants peace, and that peace comes "dropping slow". In the silence of the forest, where the only noises are natural (the bees buzzing, the crickets singing), the speaker will live with tranquility and freedom. He does not wish for more than this. He does not need a mansion, or money. A simple cabin will suffice. Some beans and some honey will sustain him. Therefore, we can say that he wishes to free himself from materialism and turmoil.

Note: materialism refers to considering material possessions to be more important than spiritual and intellectual accomplishments. Turmoil means confusion, disturbance.

each year on this day, i make it a point to listen to dr. martin luther king jr.’s great “i have a dream” speech. it’s electrifying every single time.

the content of dr. king’s speech, his inspiring presence, and the moment in history all came together to make the iconic “i have a dream” speech the defining moment of the american civil rights movement. but there are several other reasons why this speech, delivered over 50 years ago, remains an example of one of the best speeches in american history.

since part of my job is to people become better presenters, i’ve noticed several techniques that we can all learn from and be inspired by in this magnificent speech.

it’s anchored in a powerful related location

in most cases, you can’t handpick the spot to give a presentation, as mlk did for supreme symbolic effect when he stood on the steps of the lincoln memorial and echoed the opening words of the gettysburg address (“five score years ago . . ). but you absolutely can amplify your message by adapting it to your setting and location.
