Heart, we will forget him

Heart, we will forget him,
You and I, tonight!
You must forget the warmth he gave,
I will forget the light.
When you have done pray tell me,
Then I, my thoughts, will dim.
Haste! ‘lest while you’re lagging
I may remember him!

I am shut out of mine own heart

I am shut out of mine own heart
because my love is far from me,
nor in the wonders have I part
that fill its hidden empery:
The wildwood of adventurous thought
and lands of dawn my dream had won,
the riches out of Faery brought
are buried with our bridal sun.
And I am in a narrow place,
and all its little streets are cold,
because the absence of her face
has robb'd the sullen air of gold.
My home is in a broader day:
at times I catch it glistening
thro' the dull gate, a flower'd play
and odour of undying spring:
The long days that I lived alone,
sweet madness of the springs I miss'd,
are shed beyond, and thro' them blown
clear laughter, and my lips are kiss'd:
And here, from mine own joy apart,
I wait the turning of the key: -
I am shut out of mine own heart
because my love is far from me.

How To Increase TOEFL Score

Test of English as a Foreign Language (TOEFL)
The Test Of English as a Foreign Language (or TOEFL, pronounced "toe-full", or sometimes just "toffle") evaluates the potential success of an individual to use and understand Standard American English at a college level. This is required for non-native applicants at many American and English-speaking colleges and universities. That's why each year, hundreds of thousands of international students come to the US to pursue their academic studies. Because their English is nonnative language, these students are required to demonstrate competency in listening, grammar, reading, and writing by taking the TOEFL test. 

TOEFL score is valid for 2 years, and then is deleted from the official database.
The TOEFL was first administered 1964 and has since been taken by nearly 20 million students. It is administered worldwide by Educational Testing Service (ETS).

Students must improve their English language skills to achieve a higher score on the TOEFL. The CESL intensive English program helps students improve all their English language skills for the TOEFL. 

The best way for getting a higher score on the TOEFL is to increase your English listening, speaking, reading, and writing skills. Consider, there are many opportunities to improve your skills at CESL
