The term “Metaphysical Poetry” was first used by Dr Samuel Johnson. The hallmark of metaphysical poetry is the metaphysical conceit, a reliance on intellectual wit, learned imagery and subtle argument. The metaphysical poets infused new life into English poetry by the freshness and originality of their approach.

Metaphysical Poetry (आध्यात्मिक काव्य) शब्द का प्रयोग सर्वप्रथम सैम्युअल जॉनसन के द्वारा किया गया था। आध्यात्मिक काव्य की विशेषता है आध्यात्मिक दम्भ, बौद्धिक कौशल पर विश्वास, विद्वत्तापूर्ण कल्पनाशक्ति और सटीक तर्क। आध्यात्मिक कवियों ने ताजगी व अपने मौलिक दृष्टिकोण के द्वारा अंग्रेजी काव्य को एक नया जीवन प्रदान किया।

To Autumn

'Ode to Autumn' is a short poem composed by John Keats. John Keats is known as one of the Romantic poets of English literature. He is sensuous as well as sensual poet. He has earned a fine reputation in a very short span of his life. 

In this poem he depicts the beauty of nature and characteristic spirit of Autumn. According to Keats, Autumn is the best season. In this, season new leaves and fruits grow on trees. The temperature of these days is very pleasant. There is neither too much heat nor bitterly cold. The air blows fresh and friendly. Birds sing everywhere. People are happy and healthy. In this season the nature appears to be calm and cool. Autumn symbolises the maturity of middle aged life whereas spring symbolises the onset of life, youth period. Both have their own charms and both are relevant to human life because change is rule of nature and life.

Metaphysical poetry investigates the relation between rational, logical argument on the one hand, and intuition or “mysticism” on the other, often depicted with sensuous details. The metaphysical poets reacted against the deliberately smooth and sweet tones of 16th century verse. And they adopted a style that is energetic, uneven, and rigorous. T.S. Eliot argued that their work fuses reason with passion.

आध्यात्मिक काव्य एक ओर तार्किक तत्व वे दूसरी ओर अन्तर्ज्ञान या रहस्यवाद के बीच सम्बन्ध का पता लगाता है, इसका चित्रण अधिकांशतः इन्द्रियजनित विवरण के साथ किया जाता है। आध्यात्मिक कवियों ने 16वीं शताब्दी के काव्य में विचारपूर्ण तरीके (सोच समझ कर किये गये तरीके) से प्रयुक्त की गयी सरल व मधुर लयों के विरुद्ध प्रतिक्रिया की। और उन्होंने काव्य की ऐसी शैली को अपनाया जो ऊर्जायुक्त, विलक्षण (uneven) और कठिन है। T.S. Eliot का तर्क था कि उनका (आध्यत्मिक कवियों का).लेखन तर्क को उनके अति उत्साह या passion से जोड़ता है।

Thermal shock is the rapid cooling or heating of an object usually at a defined rate of, eg, +10°C/min or via the immediate transfer from one temperature chamber to another.

Correct option is B) blown away

E. a force of constant magnitude that is always directed toward the same fixed point

D. has an acceleration of constant magnitude

Solution: Let P = Rs. 100. Then, S.I. Rs. 60 and T = 6 years.

 R=100*60/100*6 =10% p.a

 Now, P = Rs. 12000. T = 3 years and R = 10% p.a.

 C.I=Rs.[12000*[1+10/100]³−1]
       =Rs.3972

B. half as great 

E. its acceleration is toward the Earth 

E. slides off to the outside of the curve 

C. increase radius by factor of 4

Solution: We have given that each covering is 15 windows long you need to calculate how many window coverings are necessary to span 50 windows.

The operation is a simple division: 50 ÷ 15 gives the number of times that 15 is contained in 50.

The result is 50÷15 = 3.33.

So, you need more than 3 coverings, and so take the next whole number, i.e. 4.

So, the answer is 4

Given:

The ratio of two numbers A and B = 5 ∶ 8.

The ratio of B and C = 4 ∶ 5

The difference between A and B = 27.

Formula:

If the ratio of A and B is a ∶ b, assume A = ak and B = bk where k is a constant.

Calculation:

Let A, B and C be 5x, 8x and 10x respectively.

The difference between A and B = 27

⇒ 8x – 5x = 27

⇒ 3x = 27

⇒ x = 9

The number C = 10x

= 10 × 9

= 90

Ratio of 45 and C = 45 ∶ 90

= 1 ∶ 2

∴ The required ratio is 1 ∶ 2.
