Of linked sweetnes long drawn out,
With wanton heed, and giddy cunning,
The melting voice through mazes running;
Untwisting all the chains that tie
The hidden soul of harmony.
(from "L'Allegro")

To the full voic'd Quire below,
In Service high, and Anthems cleer,
As may with sweetnes, through mine ear,
Dissolve me into extasies,
And bring all Heav'n before mine eyes.
And may at last my weary age
Find out the peaceful hermitage,
(from "Il Penseroso")

John Milton's "L'Allegro" and IL Pensoroso" are lyric poems in which the speaker asks melancholy and sadness to go away from his life and dwell at some other place. He calls the goddess of joy and asks her to bring happiness into his life. The poem reflects on the lives of the people and how melancholy and mirth helps them to attain the true meaning of life.  The poet invites melancholy to dwell with him as he thinks that it carries peace, happiness, and contemplation with it.

She then proceeds to reading the headlines, which are written in a formal tone. Headlines have a straightforward and serious aura. Imagine the voice of a news anchor reading them, and you'll be able to hear their formality. Upon reading them, the narrator is disappointed. She is now sad to know there are people fighting against integrating Central High.

Melba Pattillo Beals was a member of the Little Rock Nine. She was one of the first African-American students to integrate Little Rock Central High School.
