Now, listen again reading along with the written text.

The lover

A man madly in love knocked on the door of his beloved.

She asked from behind the door: ―Who is there?

He answered: ―It is I!

And she replied: ―There is not enough room for both you and me in the same house.

So he betook himself to the desert to meditate.

Years later he came back and knocked on her door.

The voice of his beloved asked: ―Who is it?

He answered: ―It is you yourself!

And the door opened wide.

Archaic Expressions

This poem was written quite some time ago (in the late 12th or early 13th century). There are several archaic expressions. Frequently, these expressions have the prefix be–. This prefix has several meanings. It may mean completely or thoroughly or give a causative meaning to the verb, among others. Understanding these archaic expressions will help you read literature, especially when the literary works were not written recently.

Match the archaic expression (marked in bold) with its meaning by writing the correct letter in the blank.

  • a. A man madly in love knocked on the door of his beloved.
  • b. So he betook himself to the desert to meditate.
  • past tense of cause to go (take himself)

Antonyms (opposites)

One way of learning words is to associate them with their opposites: their antonyms. These words possess an inherently incompatible binary relationship. Something that is long can't be short. Something that is up can't be down. Understanding the relationship between opposites can increase your vocabulary and your ability to correctly use the new words you have learned.

Join words from the following list to their antonyms:

went out
in front of
here
different
closed
earlier
asked
narrow
came back
behind
there
same
opened
later
answered
wide

Terrific!
