Interactive voice responseIn telephony, interactive voice response, or IVR, is a computerised system that allows a person, typically a telephone caller, to select an option from a voice menu and otherwise interface with a computer system. Generally the system plays pre-recorded voice prompts to which the person presses a number on a telephone keypad to select the option chosen, or speaks simple answers such as "yes", "no", or numbers in answer to the voice prompts.The latest systems use natural language speech recognition to interpret the questions that the person wants answered. IVR systems are found operating voicemail systems and telephone banking services, and are often the first point of contact when calling many larger businesses. These systems are generally used at the front end of call centers to identify what service the caller wants and to extract numeric information such as account numbers as well as provide answers to simple questions such as account balances or allow pre-recorded information to be heard. IVR systems are often criticised as being unhelpful and difficult to use due to poor design and lack of appreciation of the callers' needs. A properly designed IVR system should connect callers to their desired service promptly and with a minimum of fuss. Or pass beyond the goal of ordinance
A glimpse of that dark world where I was born.
From thy pure brows, and from thy shoulders pure,
Thy cheek begins to redden thro' the gloom,
Ere yet they blind the stars, and the wild team
And shake the darkness from their loosen'd manes,
In silence, then before thine answer given
And make me tremble lest a saying learnt,
`The Gods themselves cannot recall their gifts.'
Ay me! ay me! with what another heart
I used to watch.html">watch--if I be he that watch'd--
The dim curls kindle into sunny rings;
Glow with the glow that slowly crimson'd all
Mouth, forehead, eyelids, growing dewy-warm
Of April, and could hear the lips that kiss'd
Like that strange song I heard Apollo sing,
How can my nature longer mix with thine?
Are all thy lights, and cold my wrinkled feet
Floats up from those dim fields about the homes
And grassy barrows of the happier dead.
Thou seest all things, thou wilt see my grave:
I earth.html">earth in earth forget these empty courts,
-----<>-----
We left behind the painted buoy
And madly danced our hearts with joy,
How fresh was every sight and sound
We knew the merry world was round,
Warm broke the breeze against the brow,
The Lady's-head upon the prow
The broad seas swell'd to meet the keel,
We felt the good ship shake and reel,
How oft we saw the Sun retire,
Fall from his Ocean-lane of fire,
How oft the purple-skirted robe
As thro' the slumber of the globe
New stars all night above the brim
They climb'd as quickly, for the rim
Far ran the naked moon across
