TASK DEFINITION: In this task you will be given a text passage from a trivia quiz. You should choose the category this question belongs to from these categories: History, Science, Social Science, Fine Arts, Literature. You can only choose one category, so if in doubt, please choose the closest match.
PROBLEM: This writer began one poem describing the ""various language"" with which Nature speaks to those who hold ""Communion with her visible forms. "" One of this author's poems asks the title creature why ""dost thou pursue thy solitary way"" In another poem, this author instructed the reader ""go not, like the quarry slave at night,"" instead urging the reader to ""[lie] down to pleasant dreams. "" For 10 points, name this long-time New York Evening Post editor who wrote ""To A Waterfall"" and ""Thanatopsis,"" an early American poet.

SOLUTION: Literature

PROBLEM: Believed to be the source for the Cambodian god Preas Prohm, this god once had his beard turned red by the powerful weapon of Jalamdhara and gave qualified immortality to Taraka. He was charmed by an arrow into screwing his daughter immediately after the birth of Kama. The temple at Pushkar is one of the few dedicated to this god, who sprouted a new head to look at Satarupa every time she moved. Born with a thousand thighs, heads, arms, and eyes as the being Purusha, he is attended by the swan Hamsa, and his wife is the goddess of learning Sarasvati. His masculine name is similar to the neuter word for the principle underlying the universe, as well as to the name of the highest caste. FTP, name this often four-headed and four-handed creator-god of Hinduism.

SOLUTION: Social Science

PROBLEM: A chaotically-driven version of this phenomenon can be described using the Julia set and that version's trajectories follow Laputa chains. This phenomenon is represented in the kinetic term of the Hamiltonian of the Hubbard model, and a particular type of this phenomenon in semiconductors is described by the Fowler-Nordheim equation. This process is responsible for the occurrence of the proton-proton chain at lower temperatures than predicted, and it's the subject of the Hartman effect, which shows that its probability is width-independent. Also the basis of operation for the Esaki diode and applied to alpha decay by Gamow, this phenomenon is derived by considering evanescent wave coupling, or a decaying exponential solution for the Schrodinger equation. For 10 points, name this phenomenon in which a particle escapes from a potential well higher than its kinetic energy.
