Explain the following passages with reference to the context.

1. “For, now that it was all over, truce signed, and the dead buried, he had,
especially in the evening, these sudden thunder-claps of fear. He could
not feel. As he opened the door of the room where the Italian girls sat
making hats, he could see them; could hear them; they were rubbing
wires among coloured beads in saucers; they were turning buckram
shapes this way and that; the table was all strewn with feathers, spangles,
silks, ribbons; scissors were rapping on the table; but something failed
him; he could not feel. Still, scissors rapping, girls laughing, hats being
made protected him; he was assured of safety; he had a refuge.”

2. “But no, he would not give in. Turning sharply, he walked towards the
city’s gold phosphorescence. His fists were shut, his mouth set fast. He
would not take that direction, to the darkness, to follow her. He walked
towards the faintly humming, glowing town, quickly.”

3. “Things fall apart; the centre cannot hold;
 Mere anarchy is loosed upon the world,
The blood-dimmed tide is loosed, and everywhere
The ceremony of innocence is drowned;
The best lack all conviction, while the worst
Are full of passionate intensity.”

4. “A cold coming we had of it,
Just the worst time of the year
For a journey, and such a long journey: the ways deep and the weather
sharp,
