Far off thou art, but ever nigh;
i have thee still, and i rejoice;
i prosper, circled with thy voice;
i shall not lose thee though i die.
in these lines of poetry from in memoriam, a. h. h. by alfred, lord tennyson, how can the speaker’s friend be both far off and ever nigh?

although his friend is not physically present, the speaker feels close to his spirit at all times.
the relationship between the speaker and his friend endures even when his friend moves away.
because his friend’s spirit is everywhere, it is in distant and neighboring places.
after his friend ends their relationship, the speaker still remembers him.

2.“love your enemies; bless them that curse you; do good to them that hate you and despitefully use you. … life appears to me to be too short to be spent in nursing animosity or registering wrongs.”
in this passage from jane eyre by charlotte brontë, what is helen’s philosophy?

life should not be spent harboring hostilities.
people should use their enemies to right wrongs.
people should be hateful toward their enemies.
life is too short not to be thinking about one’s future.
