4. read the poem and answer the questions as below As
you set out for Ithaka hope the journey is a long one, full of
adventure, full of discovery. Laistrygonians and Cyclops,
angry Poseidon - don't be afraid of them: you'll never find
things like that on your way as long as you keep your
thoughts raised high, as long as a rare excitement stirs
your spirit and your body. Laistrygonians and Cyclops, wild
Poseidon - you won't encounter them unless you bring
them along inside your soul, unless your soul sets them up
in front of you. Hope the voyage is a long one, may there be
many a summer morning when, with what pleasure, what
joy, you come into harbours seen for the first time; may
you stop at Phoenician trading stations to buy fine things,
mother of pearl and coral, amber and ebony, sensual
perfume of every kind - as many sensual perfumes as you
can; and may you visit many Egyptian cities to gather
stores of knowledge from their scholars. Keep Ithaka
always in your mind. Arriving there is what you are
destined for. But do not hurry the journey at all. Better if it
lasts for years, so you are old by the time you reach the
island, wealthy with all you have gained on the way, not
expecting Ithaka to make you rich. Ithaka gave you the
marvellous journey, without her you would not have set
out. She has nothing left to give you now. And if you find
her poor, Ithaka won't have fooled you. Wise as you will
have become, so full of experience, you will have
understood by then what these Ithakas mean. The poet
