And loved your beauty with love false or true,

But one man loved the pilgrim soul in you,

And loved the sorrows of your changing face;

And bending down beside the glowing bars,

Murmur, a little sadly, how love fled

And paced upon the mountains overhead

And hid his face amid a crowd of stars.

Task One: Understand the term “classic literature”.

Listen for information:

Q1: What is classic literature?

Supportive.

Task Two: Choose a favorite writer.

Which writer would you like to recommend to us and why?

Charles Dickens was probably one of the most famous writers of the Victorian era, and anything that resembles his work has now been granted the honorable title "Dickensian". Although his stories usually have happy endings, his own story most certainly did not start happily. Dickens' early life was spent mostly in debtor's prison because his poor dad couldn't pay off his debts so the whole family had to join him in the slammer, a fairly typical practice in Victorian England.

He eventually worked in a factory to help pay off the debts, and the terrible working conditions were a major inspiration to his writing. As an adult, he appeared to be a more lighthearted guy, often pulling practical jokes. He had a fake bookcase with books that were hilariously titled, including Noah's Arkitechture and a nine-volume set titled Cat's Lives.

A story of Charles Dickens:

“By his death, one of England's greatest writers is lost to the world.”
