Here, the poet expresses his bad feelings for a very beautiful lady who has died. She was the most beautiful lady in the west country. She was light of step and heart. Her beauty was very attractive, but it is short lived. There is no way to save beauty from destruction. After her death, her beauty vanishes and passes. The poet loved her so much that when she was dead, he was weeping bitterly. He used to sit on her epitaph, where she was laid down. The poet feels that nobody will remember he after his death.
Thus, the poet means to say that beauty is not internal. It vanishes with the passage of time.

ANS- “Indian Civilization and Culture” is an important essay written by Mahatma Gandhi. In this essay Gandhiji describes the importance of Indian Civilization. He praises our ancient civilization and says that no other civilization of the world can be compared with our civilization.
According to Gandhiji, civilization is the way of conduct. It guides us to do our duty. It also teaches us the lesson of morality. It refers to good conduct and stresses our moral character. Our civilization is the most ancient and the strongest of all the civilizations of the world. Many civilizations in the world born and wasted. They changed by the change of time. But, our civilization has remained unchanged. Our civilization is the only civilization in the world which has not lost its glory. Gandhiji says that the Western civilization is inferior to the Indian civilization, because it is based on materialism and immorality. On the other hand the Indian civilization is based on spiritualism and morality. The intention of Indian civilization is to elevate the moral being while the Western civilization is to propagate immorality.
Thus, Gandhiji means to say that the Indian civilization is matchless. He says that the Indian civilization is superior to any other civilization in the world. It promotes moral development and real happiness

c) Discuss English as a global language.

Naturally, it has become the language of international trade, commerce, science, technology and diplomacy. English was mainly the language of England, but it began to leave the shores of England and by the 19th country it was well on its way to becoming a world language. During 20th century, English firmly established itself as a world language and took a global shape. There are two main effects of this worldwide spread of English, which are following:-
(a) New national varieties of English, like American English, Australian English, Canadian English, etc. came into being.
