What is your interpretation of the quote "
that you can abstract this day and make it to the week of time
a small eternity, a sonnet self-contained in rhyme." in louis macneice's poem "sunday morning"
full poem for context:
sunday morning
down the road someone is practising scales,
the notes like little fishes vanish with a wink of tails,
man’s heart expands to tinker with his car
for this is sunday morning, fate’s great bazaar;
regard these means as ends, concentrate on this now,
and you may grow to music or drive beyond hindhead* anyhow,
take corners on two wheels until you go so fast
that you can clutch a fringe or two of the windy past,
that you can abstract this day and make it to the week of time
a small eternity, a sonnet self-contained in rhyme.
but listen, up the road, something gulps, the church spire
opens its eight bells out, skulls’ mouths which will not tire
to tell how there is no music or movement which secures
escape from the weekday time. which deadens and endures.

Ajourney with my father adapted from my reminiscences by sir rabindranath tagore probably in order to teach me to be careful, my father placed a little small change in my charge and required me to keep an account of it. he also entrusted me with the duty of winding his valuable gold watch for him. he overlooked the risk of damage in his desire to train me to a sense of responsibility. when we went out together for our morning walk, he would ask me to give alms to any beggars we came across. but i never could render him a proper account at the end of it. one day, my balance was larger than the account warranted. "i really must make you my cashier," observed my father. "money seems to have a way of growing in your hands! " that watch of his i wound up with such indefatigable1 zeal that it had very soon to be sent to the watchmaker's in calcutta. i am reminded of the time when, later in life, i was appointed to manage the estate and had to lay before my father, owing to his failing eyesight, a statement of accounts on the second or third of every month. i had first to read out the totals under each head, and if he had any doubts on any point, he would ask for the details. if i made any attempt to slur over or keep out of sight any item which i feared he would not like, it was sure to come out. so, these first few days of the month were very anxious ones for me. as i have said, my father had the habit of keeping everything clearly before his mind—whether figures of accounts, or ceremonial arrangements, or additions or alterations to property. he had never seen the new assembly hall built at bolpur, and yet, he was familiar with every detail of it from questioning those who came to see him after a visit to bolpur. he had an extraordinary memory, and when once he got hold of a fact, it never escaped him. my father asked me to copy the favourite verses, with their translation, from the book he liked reading every day. at home, i had been a boy of no account. here, when these important functions were entrusted to me, i felt the glory of the situation. 1. tireless 7 how does the narrator support the idea that his father keeps everything clearly before his mind? a. by giving the example of his father's response when his account did not tally with the money that he had in hand b. by mentioning that his father was interested in everything that happened around him c. by giving the example of his father knowing every detail of the new assembly hall at bolpur d. by mentioning that his father had marked his favorite verses from his favorite book
