European literature is viewed to have evolved through time. Discuss.
Question Two
A Lover’s Complaint
From off a hills whose concave womb rewarded
A plaintful story from a sistring vale
My spirits attended this double voice accorded
And down I laid to list the sad-toned tale
Eve long espied a fickle maid full pale
Tearing of papers, breaking rings atwain
Storming her world with sorrow’s wind and rain
Upon her head a platted live straw
Which fortified her visage from the sun
Whereon the thought might think sometime it saw
The carcass of a beauty spent and done
Time had not scythed all that youth begun
Nor youth all quit, but spite of heaven’s fell rage
Some beauty peeped through lattice of seared age
Study the poem above. Critically analyze the message in the poem
