Read the following quote from "The Young American", by
Ralph Waldo Emerson (1844):
"We must have kings, we must have nobles; nature is always providing such in every society: only let us have the real instead of the titular. In every society some are born to rule, and some to advise. The chief is the chief all the world over, only not his cap and plume. It is only this dislike of the pretender which makes men sometimes unjust to the true and finished man".

"Nine months later, her womb yielded two sets of twins: Clytemnestra and Castor, children of her mortal husband; Helen and Polydeuces, the shining cygnets of the god. But gods were known to be notoriously poor parents; it was expected that Tyndareus would offer patrimony to all".
"I sat again on the grass, and he resumed his stretches. I watched the breeze stir his hair; I watched the sun fall on his golden skin. I leaned back and let it fall on me as well".

NO KID-DING Why you should never let your kids take a
bag on the plane − even if it's free
(§ 1) A TRAVEL expert has revealed you should never let
your kids bring a bag on the plane if you want a
stress-free journey.
(§ 2) Experienced flyer, Vanessa Grant recommends
parents don't let their kids take a bag with them after
sharing her recent experience of travelling with her kids -
aged 8 and 11.
(§ 3) "Smart packing is what really saved us," she said.
(§ 4) Vanessa did two long-haul flights with her family
from Canada to Indonesia which went smoothly because
the kids didn't have bags, she claims.
(§ 5) It is important to "instil a sense of responsibility" in
kids however, it is not worth the stress of tracking down a
lost backpack __ a busy international airport, according
to the travel expert.
(§ 6) Vanessa explained: "The stakes are just too high
and even replacing a charging cord can be pricey at a
duty-free shop, let alone a whole backpack's worth of
stuff."
(§ 7) It is also important to bring the right type of carry-on
when travelling with your family, to make your life a lot
easier.
(§ 8) A small rolling suitcase is perfect for long-haul
flights and "is like the clown car of carry-ons".
(§ 9) Vanessa added: "It fits a change of clothes for three
of us, plus toiletries and some snacks."
(§ 10) Instead of storing your carry-on in the overhead
bins you should put it __ the seat of your shortest child so
they'll be able to rest their feet on it, Vanessa
recommends.
(§ 11) This clever hack will stop your child from
complaining as it is "uncomfortable to have your legs
hanging for hours".
(§ 12) Packing a change of clothes for everyone will
ensure you have a smoother journey, according to the
experienced flyer.
(§ 13) "Spills and vomiting can happen to anyone," she
said.
(§ 14) Vanessa added: "One of my kids lost multiple
socks __ the plane and in the hotel.
(§ 15) "Luckily most airlines give passengers a little
package including a toothbrush and toothpaste, ear
plugs, an eye mask and socks so we had a few extra
pairs."
(§ 16) Bringing snacks for your kids can end up saving a
lot of money as they likely won't eat all the food offered
by airlines, "unless your child is a unicorn".
(§ 17) Vanessa also recommends bringing an empty
water bottle you can fill up before getting on the plane.
(§ 18) Most kids on flights are thrilled to get "hours of
uninterrupted screen time, both on their tablets and the screens on the back of seats in front of them".
(§ 19) However, screens even for kids can get old
quickly.
(§ 20) Parents should bring alternative activities for their
children.
(§ 21) Vanessa brought a book, notepad and pens which
kept them entertained throughout the flight.
(§ 22) Forgetting either your charger or headphones can
spoil the whole journey, the travel expert claims.
(§ 23) Parents will need the chargers to make sure their
children can stay entertained on the screens.
(§ 24) "We brought headphones for everyone," Vanessa
said.
(§ 25) She added: "No one—including you—wants to
hear the sound effects from your kid's favourite video
game for hours on end."

“There is a kind of sleep that steals upon us sometimes, which, while it holds the body prisoner, does not free the mind from a sense of things about it, and enable it to ramble at its pleasure. So far as an overpowering heaviness, a prostration of strength, and an utter inability to control our thoughts or power of motion, can be called sleep, this is it; and yet we have a consciousness of all that is going on about us; and if we dream at such a time, words which are really spoken, or sounds which really exist at the moment, accommodate themselves with surprising readiness to our visions, until reality and imagination become so strangely blended that it is afterwards almost a matter of impossibility to separate the two. Nor is this, the most striking phenomenon, incidental to such a state. It is an undoubted fact, that although our senses of touch and sight be for the time dead, yet our sleeping thoughts, and the visionary scenes that pass before us, will be influenced, and materially influenced, by the mere silent presence of some external object: which may not have been near us when we closed our eyes: and of whose vicinity we have had no waking consciousness. ”
— Charles Dickens, Oliver Twist
The word "prostration" in the sentence "an
overpowering heaviness, a prostration of
strength" means:
