To views far distant and to scenes more bright, Along the vale of Time extend thy sight,
Where hours and days and years from yon dim pole,
Wave following wave in long succession roll,
There see, in pomp for ages without end,
The glories of the Western World ascend.
See, this blest land in orient morn appears,
Waked from the slumber of six thousand years,
While clouds of darkness veil'd each cheering ray;
To savage beasts and savage men, a prey.
Fair Freedom now her ensigns bright displays,
And peace and plenty bless the golden days.
In radiant state th' imperial realm shall rise,
Her splendor circling to the boundless skies;
Of every Fair she boasts the assembled charms,
The Queen of empires and the nurse of arms.

This phrase is from the poem "The Future Glory" by John Trumbull. He was a renowned American poet who lived from 1750 to 1831. 
This phrase is the last line in one of the stanzas in his poems. The poet starts the stanza with praises for the proverbial Queen. He describes her splendour and her  radiance. This phrase for the Queen suggests that the Queen is the ruler of all the empires but when she sees her own men who were fighting for her glory and rule injured, she becomes a nurse to them and brings them back to health.

Compare and contrast driving in the winter and driving in the summer.

Answers

Driving in the winter and driving in the summer is very different. Of course, because of the weather, both could be convenient or not at the same time. In summer, the heat will be your enemy when driving. When driving in winter, the snow blocking the road could be your biggest hurdle. 

Answer:

Driving in winter is very difficult because of the effect of the weather on the road and the general performance of the car in it because to perform well it requires special items. While driving in summer is far easier due to the lack of requirement of special items to perform well.

Thus, it is more difficult to drive in winter. Finally, they view the road can be very difficult because rain and snow can difficult your sight. While in summer a good pair of polarized sunglasses will be the only requirement.

Read the following excerpt from “The Gift of the Magi” and answer the question.For there lay The Combs--the set of combs, side and back, that Della had worshipped long in a Broadway window. Beautiful combs, pure tortoise shell, with jewelled rims--just the shade to wear in the beautiful vanished hair. They were expensive combs, she knew, and her heart had simply craved and yearned over them without the least hope of possession. And now, they were hers, but the tresses that should have adorned the coveted adornments were gone.But she hugged them to her bosom, and at length she was able to look up with dim eyes and a smile and say: "My hair grows so fast, Jim! And them Della leaped up like a little singed cat and cried, "Oh, oh!" Jim had not yet seen his beautiful present. She held it out to him eagerly upon her open palm. The dull precious metal seemed to flash with a reflection of her bright and ardent spirit."Isn't it a dandy, Jim? I hunted all over town to find it. You'll have to look at the time a hundred times a day now. Give me your watch. I want to see how it looks on it."Instead of obeying, Jim tumbled down on the couch and put his hands under the back of his head and smiled."Della," said he, "let's put our Christmas presents away and keep 'em a while. They're too nice to use just at present. I sold the watch to get the money to buy your combs. And now suppose you put the chops on."The magi, as you know, were wise men--wonderfully wise men--who brought gifts to the Babe in the manger. They invented the art of giving Christmas presents. Being wise, their gifts were no doubt wise ones, possibly bearing the privilege of exchange in case of duplication. And here I have lamely related to you the uneventful chronicle of two foolish children in a flat who most unwisely sacrificed for each other the greatest treasures of their house. But in a last word to the wise of these days let it be said that of all who give gifts these two were the wisest. O all who give and receive gifts, such as they are wisest. Everywhere they are wisest. They are the magi. Based on the context clues, the underlined word, ardent, most likely means?-calm-innocent-gloomy-passionate
