The Song of Wandering Aengus

by William Butler Yeats

I went out to the hazel wood,
Because a fire was in my head,
And cut and peeled a hazel wand,
And hooked a berry to a thread;
And when white moths were on the wing,
And moth-like stars were flickering out,
I dropped the berry in a stream
And caught a little silver trout.

When I had laid it on the floor
I went to blow the fire a-flame,
But something rustled on the floor,
And someone called me by my name:
It had become a glimmering girl
With apple blossom in her hair
Who called me by my name and ran
And faded through the brightening air.

Though I am old with wandering
Through hollow lands and hilly lands,
I will find out where she has gone,
And kiss her lips and take her hands;
And walk among long dappled grass,
And pluck till time and times are done,
The silver apples of the moon,
The golden apples of the sun.

Read these lines from "The Song of Wandering Aengus."

Though I am old with wandering
Through hollow lands and hilly lands,

GOLD IN THE SKY
By Alan E. Nourse

Chapter 1. Trouble Times Two

The sun was glowing dull red as it slipped down behind the curving horizon of Mars, but Gregory Hunter was not able to see it.

There was no viewscreen in the ship's cabin; it was too tiny for that. Greg twisted around in the cockpit that had been built just big enough to hold him, and shifted his long legs against the brace-webbing, trying to get them comfortable.

He knew he was afraid ... but nobody else knew that, not even the captain waiting at the control board on the satellite, and in spite of the fear Greg Hunter would not have traded places at this moment with anyone else in the universe.

He had worked too hard and waited too long for this moment.

He heard the count-down monitor clicking in his ears, and his hands clenched into fists. How far from Mars would he be 10 minutes from now? He didn't know. Farther than any man had ever traveled before in the space of 10 minutes, he knew, and faster. How far and how fast would depend on him alone.

"All set, Greg?" It was the captain's voice in the earphones.

"All set, Captain."

"You understand the program?"

Greg nodded. "24 hours out, 24 hours back, 90 degrees to the ecliptic1, and all the acceleration2 I can stand both ways."

Greg grinned to himself. He thought of the months of conditioning he had gone through to prepare for this run ... the hours in the centrifuge to build up his tolerance to acceleration, the careful diet, the rigorous hours of physical conditioning. It was only one experiment, one tiny step in the work that could someday give men the stars, but to Gregory Hunter at this moment it was everything.

"Good luck, then." The captain cut off, and the blastoff buzzer sounded.

He was off. His heart hammered in his throat, and his eyes ached fiercely, but he paid no attention. His finger crept to the air-speed indicator, then to the cut-off switch. When the pressure became too great, when he began to black out, he would press it.
But not yet. It was speed they wanted; they had to know how much acceleration a man could take for how long and still survive, and now it was up to him to show them.
Fleetingly, he thought of Tom ... poor old stick-in-the-mud Tom, working away in his grubby little Mars-bound laboratory, watching bacteria grow. Tom could never have qualified for a job like this. Tom couldn't even go into free-fall for 10 minutes without getting sick all over the place. Greg felt a surge of pity for his brother, and then a twinge of malicious anticipation. Wait until Tom heard the reports on this run! It was all right to spend your time poking around with bottles and test tubes if you couldn't do anything else, but it took something special to pilot an XP ship for Project Star-Jump. And after this run was over, even Tom would have to admit it....
There was a lurch, and quite suddenly the enormous pressure was gone.
Something was wrong. He hadn't pushed the cut-off button, yet the ship's engines were suddenly silent. He jabbed at the power switch. Nothing happened. Then the side-jets sputted, and he was slammed sideways into the cot.
He snapped on the radio speaker. "Control ... can you hear me? Something's gone wrong out here...."

The story "The Veldt" by Ray Bradbury takes place in a futuristic setting where technology does just about everything for families. The children in
this story, Wendy and Peter, have a room called the nursery which is made up of five wall-sized TV screens which cover each wall and the ceiling
Every part of the room is there to make your experience inside it feel as realistic as possible. Their parents, George and Lydia, are growing more
and more concerned that their children seem to be fixated with visiting an African veldt in the nursery. Every time they go in, they see them in
the hot, dry air Watching lions feast on their prey in the background. Eventually, their parents become so concerned that they lock up the
nursery. Peter in response makes vague threats toward his father. After this, George invites over his friend, David, who is a psychologist to get
his perspective on the situation. George and David find that the children have broken into the nursery and are sitting in the African veldt again.
After analyzing the scene left in the nursery, David recommends that George shut the house off entirely. The children throw a hysterical tantrum
at having the house shut off and scream that they wish their parents were dead. Eventually their hysterics are enough to convince their parents
to let them in the nursery one last time before they leave on a vacation and shut the house off for good. When David returns to take the family
to their vacation, he finds only the children in the nursery.
Which evidence best supports the theme that relying too heavily on technology can be a bad thing?
O "I feel like I don't belong here. This house is wife and mother now, and nursemaid. Can I compete with an African velde? Can I give a bath
and scrub the children as efficiently or quickly as the automatic scrub bath can? I cannot" (Bradbury 4).
O "They were awfully young, Wendy and Peter, for death thoughts" (Bradbury 5).
O "And although their bed tried very hard, the two adults couldn't be rocked to sleep for another hour" (Bradbury 8).
O "This house which clothed and fed and rocked them to sleep and played and sang as was good to them" (Bradbury 2).
O "A psychologist never saw a fact in his life. He only hears about feelings, vague things" (Bradbury 10).
