Q.4: ans the subsequent ques. according to the provided instructions:
{a} learn the passage beneath and then ans to the ques. provided beneath it:
The other day we heard someone smilingly refer to poets as dreamers. Now it is right to refer to poets as dreamers, but it is nit discerning to infer, as this person did, that the dreams of poet have no practical valuebeyond the realm of literary diversion. The truth is that poets are just as practical as people who build bridges or look into microscopes; and just as close to reality and truth. Where they differ from logician and the scientists is in the temporal sense alone; they are ahead of their time. We must not to be so superficial that we fail to discern the practicability of dreams. Dreams are the sunrise streamers heralding a new day of progress, a different forward surge. Every forward step man takes in any field of life, is 1st taken along the dreamy path of imagination. Robert Fulton did not discover his steamboat with full steam up, straining at a hawser at a few Hudson River dock; 1st he dreamed his steamboat, he and other dreamers, and then scientific wisdom converted a picture in the mind into a reality of steel and wood. The automobile was not dug out the ground like a nugget of gold; 1st men dreamed the automobile and afterward. Long afterward, the practical minded engineer caught up with what had been created by winging fantasy. He who looks deeply and with a seeing eye into the poetry of yesterday obtains there all the cold scientific magic of today and much we shall not enjoy until a few tomorrow. If the poet does not dream so clearly that blueprints of this vision can immediately be drawn practical conversions immediately affected, he must not for that cause be smiled upon as merely the mental host for a sort of harmless madness.
