But, as to my self, having been wearied out for many years with offering vain, idle, visionary thoughts, and at length utterly despairing of success, I fortunately fell upon this proposal, which, as it is wholly new, so it hath something solid and real, of no expence and little trouble, full in our own power, and whereby we can incur no danger in disobliging England. –"A Modest Proposal," Jonathan Swift Which sentence best paraphrases the passage? Swift has been wearied out for many years and wants to incur no danger in disobliging England. Swift offers a harsh critique of England and points out the many ways that the English dehumanize the Irish. Swift says that after much time and effort, he was finally able to come up with a viable solution to the problem of poverty.
