Passage 1
A Greek to Remember
Diogenes was a famous Greek philosopher of the fourth century B. C., who
established the philosophy of cynicism. He often walked about in the daytime
holding a lighted lantern, peering around as if he were looking for something.
When questioned about his odd behavior, he would reply, I am searching for
an honest man. Diogenes held that the good man was self-sufficient and did
not require material comforts or wealth. He believed that
wealth and possessions constrained humanitys natural state of freedom. In
keeping with his philosophy, he was perfectly satisfied with making his home in
a large tub discarded from the temple of Cybele, the goddess of nature. This
earthen tub, called a pithos, and formerly been used for holding wine or oil for
the sacrifices at the temple. One day, Alexander the Great, conqueror of half
the civilized world, saw Diogenes sitting in this tub in the sunshine. So the king,
surrounded by his countries, approached Diogenes and said, I am Alexander
the Great. The philosopher replied rather contemptuously, I am Diogenes,
the Cynic. Alexander then asked him if he could help him in any way. Yes,
shot back Diogenes, dont stand between me and the sun. A surprised
Alexander then replied quickly, If I were not Alexander, I would be Diogenes.

Passage 2
Saying Good-bye to Cambridge Again
Very quietly I take my leave
As quietly as I came here;
Quietly I wave good-bye
To the rosy clouds in the western sky.
The golden willows by the riverside
Are young brides in the setting sun;
Their reflections on the shimmering waves
Always linger in the depth of my heart.
The floating heart growing in the sludge
