What can be inferred about the cyclops in this excerpt from homer’s odyssey? the land of cyclops first, a savage kind, nor tamed by manners, nor by laws confined: untaught to plant, to turn the glebe, and sow, they all their products to free nature owe: the soil, untill'd, a ready harvest yields, with wheat and barley wave the golden fields; spontaneous wines from weighty clusters pour, and jove descends in each prolific shower, by these no statues and no rights are known, no council held, no monarch fills the throne; but high on hills, or airy cliffs, they dwell, or deep in caves whose entrance leads to hell. each rules his race, his neighbour not his care, heedless of others, to his own severe. the cyclops is warm and hospitable toward his guests. the cyclops cares for his neighbors’ well-being and advice. the cyclops does not follow typical rules of the civilized human world. the cyclops can survive only in the deep, dark caves on the island.

remember always that germany and italy, regardless of any formal declaration of war, consider themselves at war with the united states at this moment just as much as they consider themselves at war with britain or russia. and germany puts all the other republics of the americas into the same category of enemies. the people of our sister republics of this hemisphere can be honored by that fact.  

the true goal we seek is far above and beyond the ugly field of battle. when we resort to force, as now we must, we are determined that this force shall be directed toward ultimate good as well as against immediate evil. we americans are not destroyers — we are builders.
