A Thing Of Beauty (Endymion) by John Keats





A thing of beauty is a joy for ever:
Its lovliness increases; it will never

Pass into nothingness; but still will keep
A bower quiet for us, and a sleep

Full of sweet dreams, and health, and quiet breathing.
Therefore, on every morrow, are we wreathing

A flowery band to bind us to the earth,
Spite of despondence, of the inhuman dearth

Of noble natures, of the gloomy days,
Of all the unhealthy and o'er-darkn'd ways

Made for our searching: yes, in spite of all,
Some shape of beauty moves away the pall

From our dark spirits. Such the sun, the moon,
Trees old and young, sprouting a shady boon

For simple sheep; and such are daffodils
With the green world they live in; and clear rills

That for themselves a cooling covert make
'Gainst the hot season; the mid-forest brake,

Rich with a sprinkling of fair musk-rose blooms:
And such too is the grandeur of the dooms

We have imagined for the mighty dead;

An endless fountain of immortal drink,
Pouring unto us from the heaven's brink.

Bill Gates says crypto-currencies cause deaths A BBC news article

Crypto-currencies are killing people in a "fairly direct way", Microsoft founder Bill Gates has said. He was referring to the way digital currencies like Bitcoin are used to buy drugs like synthetic opioid fentanyl. In an "ask me anything" session on news website Reddit, he said that the anonymity of digital currencies meant they were linked to terrorist funding and money laundering. Some criticised him, saying he was ill-informed about the technology. Asked by one user for his opinion on the technology, Mr Gates replied: "The main feature of crypto-currencies is their anonymity. I don't think this is a good thing. The government's ability to find money laundering and tax evasion and terrorist funding is a good thing. "Right now, crypto-currencies are used for buying fentanyl and other drugs so it is a rare technology that has caused deaths in a fairly direct way. I think the speculative wave around ICOs [initial coin offerings] a...

Causes of decline of mughal rule in subcontinent

The Mughal rule in subcontinent which was established in subcontinent in 1526 came to an end in 1857. Indeed the Mughal rule was on its way to decline when Aurgenzaib died in 1707. There signs of decline at that time were quite visible. The actions and reactions in past had played a havoc to existence of mughals in subcontinent.But there were many factors which helped later mughals to maintain their nominal control over the reign of power in subcontinent.  All of the historians are agreed upon on many common reasons which were ultimately proved fatal and real causes of failure of mughal or decline of mughals in subcontinent.
