Kind of random but, this is for all you english majors. I suck at analyzing poems. so i need help on this. This is by Henry David Thoreau a transcendentalist poet.
I need a quick analysis. thnx!

Prayer
Great God, I ask for no meaner pelf
Than that I may not disappoint myself,
That in my action I may soar as high
As I can now discern with this clear eye.

And next in value, which thy kindness lends,
That I may greatly disappoint my friends,
Howe'er they think or hope that it may be,
They may not dream how thou'st distinguished me.

That my weak hand may equal my firm faith
And my life practice what my tongue saith
That my low conduct may not show
Nor my relenting lines
That I thy purpose did not know
Or overrated thy designs.

 

I think you got the wrong forum man.

its like this:

Great God, I ask for no meaner 1.8T,
Than that I may not disappoint myself,
That in my action I may soar as high
As I can now discern with this s4 eye.

And next in value, which thy kindness lends,
Me enough money not to disappoint my friends,
Howe'er they think or hope that it may be,
They may not dream how fast is this 1.8T.

That my weak foot may equal my firm clutch
And my life practice what my torque can dish out
That my low boost may not show
Nor my relenting leaks
That I thy purpose did not know
Or overrated thy body kit designs.

Cheers!

 

Yeah fer sho the wrong forum. Post this in OT, you'll get plenty of hits there.

 

lol, yea i cant help iam done with school for the hyear so my brain is turned off

 

Just posting so people see this, I thought that you guys might like my version of the poem better than the original.

Anyone? Sould I start writing audi-related poetry? Maybe Hallmark can come up with some new sympathy cards....Sorry to hear about your timing belt, get well soon!
