My ancestors spoke yiddish and lived in what is modern day Ukraine. What I wonder is if they also spoke the regional language or if they were isolated in only speaking yiddish?

Come live with me and be my love,
And we will all the pleasures prove
Of peace and plenty, bed and board,
That chance employment can afford.

I'll handle dainties on the docks
And thou shalt read of summer frocks:
At evening by the sour canals
We'll hope to hear some madrigals.

Care on the maiden brow shall put
A wreath of wrinkles, and thy foot
Be shod with pain: not silken dress
But toil shall tire thy loveliness.

Hunger shall make thy modest zone
And cheat fond death of all but bone--
If these delights thy mind may move,
Then live with me and by my love.
-C. Day Lewis





I read this poem many times and still don't understand it, he's explaining how he wants to be with her but he says things like sour canals and hunger shall make thy modest zone. Can someone explain what he's trying to do please?

I was looking on Amazon.com for the Little Prince and I saw that there was a sequel written by the niece of Antoine de Saint-Exupery, Ysatis de Saint-Simon. I bought it, but I didn't like it because it was almost the same as the original. It had the same format, but different ideas. She talks about how she met the Little Prince in the same exact place as her uncle did, and the story goes on almost in the same way that the original did, except that the Little Prince wants to help people to be, to exist and enjoy life. Has anyone else read it? What did you think of it?

The earth goes through cycles, and everyone should realise this. It is not known for sure how long these cycles last in terms of years. Everyone, don't worry as this environment is self sustaining and self cleaning. This is just a natural progression. Just disregard the guy with the sign saying " The world is coming to an end". Although the easiest group to fool are those with lots of time on their hands, such as silly actors who are really very easily taken in.

The people communicating here have become an online intellectual community and should be allowed to ask for the rights that are due to any people, along the lines of Lincoln's "government of the people, by the people, for the people. Here at Yahoo Answers we volunteer our intellectual content without any kind of consent to the rules governing this forum (or is there such consent?) We may compose the most original ideas but at the end of the day still read at the end of the page: "Copyright © 2006 Yahoo! Inc. All Rights Reserved" declaring clearly that our ideas do not belong to us. Is this the Orwellian "thought police" slowly and surreptitiously making its way into our lives or making us get used to it in this harmless and fun seeming way?

I call for a revolution against this system or let us start a new question-answer forum the content of which does not belong to a global corporation but to the people using it.

I am doing a school essay and can't find out how many colonies were formed for religious freedom (such as the Puritans colony, Boston I beleive) or had religious toleration (such as Maryland and the Act of Toleration).

I have what I think is a genuine egyptian artifac. I have a picture of it which I have sent out to a few curators but never got a response. Anyone know of a Q & A website or a person to contact that might respond? Email address can be sent to me through email via this question so it doesn't get posted to the world.

basis for the first proffesional opinion. Hence if both opinions are the same, then you have found the right answer. On the other hand if they disagree you go with the opinion you're more comfortable with if true. Is this correct?
