Violence in Nebraska School

Tragic-most tragic-Nebraska school
Where a student died
After shooting two officials
We are into 2011
Violent 2010 is behind us
Let Heaven instruct my mind
Let us say a long adieu to violence

My New Year celebration is my Prayer
"Lord! as in heaven, on earth thy will be done"

Poets don’t warn. Haven’t the vision
Haven’t the sense of duty.
US drone striking
Pak-Afganistan border
At the moment, I feel
Nuclear attack is ready.
It is real. Earth can’t escape it.
Death for Earth is life for Satan.
The cancer will eat us away
But all people are asleep to the nightmare
As they can’t bear it.


Even sage poets unable to put in order
Fiendish aberration of human nature.

"The Wisest, the Brightest and the Meanest of Mankind"

Francis Bacon was not only one of the greatest writers, but also a great English statesman, philosopher  and politician. The great classical poet Alexander Pope regarded him as “the wisest, the brightest and the meanest of mankind”.  Bacon is the Father of  English essay.  His essays are famous for their wit and aphoristic style. Most of the lines from his essays have always been acclaimed as immortal quotes. For example, we may take the following lines that have become proverbs: Revenge is a kind of wild justice; which the more man's nature runs to, the more ought law to weed it out. Wives are young men's mistresses, companions for middle age, and old men's nurses. In charity there is no excess. Read not to contradict and confute; nor to believe and take for granted; nor to find talk and discourse; but to weigh and consider. Some books are to be tasted, others to be swallowed, and some few to be chewed and digested : that is, some books are to be read only in parts,

Edmund Spenser's Pictorial Power

Bloggers Community Spenser’s masterpiece Fairy Queen is an exraordinary allegory. Dryden aptly remarks about Spenser: “ No man was ever born with a greater genius or more knowledge to support it”. He has been rightly described as the ‘poets’ poet’ as Shakespeare, Wordsworth, Shelley, Keats, Tennyson, the Pre-Raphaelites, and other numberless poets were immensely influenced by him. Spenser was able to finish only six books of the epic, though his aim was to write twelve books. Spenser’s ‘sweet melodious sound’ was admired even by Shakespeare. Wordsworth aptly described him “Sweet Spenser, moving, through his clouded heaven / With the moon’s beauty and moon’s soft pace”. Spenser was aware of twelve virtues described by Aristotle that are indispensable to make an ideal person. By what means is this attainable? This incredible task was done by Spenser in his timeless nd comprehesive creation Fairy Queen. He decided to write twelve books devoted to these ideal virtues. What a gre
