"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 ...

Chocolate Cream Soldier

Arms and the man by the Nobel Laureate George Bernard shaw is on e most thought provoking plays. It is a play with an impressive moral lesson about Love and war. Shaw affirmed that for the sake of ‘Art for art’s sake’ he won’t write a single line. But to criticize Sjhaw as a propagandist would be an error of perspective. I am sure if we follow the advice of Bluntschli, the mouthpiece of Shaw in the play, we would stop glorifying the war. Bluntschli is a ‘chocolate cream soldier’. Whenever he goes to the battlefield, he prefers to use chocolate instead of cartridges. Shaw is indirectly suggesting that food is more importan war. A.C. Ward is quite right that Arms and the Man makes us laugh, and makes us think. The play satirizes our romantic attitude toward love and war. This is fully substantiated by the following famous lines by Bluntschli where he criticizes the romantic attitude toward war: "Soldiering, my dear madam, is the coward's art of attacking mercilessly when you are...

A Poem of the Earth's Last Days

September 12, 2010

A Poem of the Earth's Last Days for Terry Collett, Richard Lynn Livesay, Rene Allen, wendy c. i. That beast wretched Blame the foul monster With distaste for love It’s Satan’s terror o’er all earth Furious with His incarnation Invents new strategy for nuclear war New weapons, new nuclear plants New operative plans empowering extremist nations Where terrorism is a divine signal Where the young suicide bombers are brainwashed A blow to the lamb. No. ii. Now Christ thee save, Thou reverent believer! I pray, O Lord Let not the Devil kill The faithful with truest heart Let no radiation paralyze them iii. Our lord won’t allow extinction of earth In one moment millions will disappear The sun and moon will be darkened As we have sinned And divine wrath will devour us In such tribulation Prince of Peace Coming on the clouds of heaven Protects the faithful and believers All were swept away By the...

Out-topping Knowledge

Shakespeare is the greatest poet of the world. His most famous plays are Macbeth, King Lear, Hamlet, Julius Caesar, Othello, Romeo and Juliet, Twelfth Night, As You Like It, The Comedy of Errors, Much Ado About Nothing, Richard II, The Winter’s Tale, Cymbeline . Ben Jonson admired him in the following lines: Soul of the age! The applause! delight! the wonder of our stage! My Shakespeare, rise; I will not lodge thee by Chaucer or Spenser, or bid Beaumont lie A little further to make thee a room. There is no doubt that Shakespeare is the greatest genius that human nature has yet produced. He was rightly called “our myriad-minded Shakespeare” by the famous critic S.T. Coleridge. Shakespeare was not of an age, but of all ages. For example, we may take the following immortal quotes by Shakespeare: How weary, stale, flat, and unprofitable Seem to me all the uses of this world. Be thou familiar, but by no means vulgar. There are more things in heaven and earth, Horatio, Th...

War is the Business of Barbarians

No doubt, war is the science of destruction. This is confirmed by the recent Iraq war and the ceaseless violence in Libya. The First World War (1914-1918) was fought on a scale unprecedented in any previous century. The Battle of Verdun between France and Germany caused 700000 casualties. A total of about 40 million artillery shells were exchanged by both sides. The moral lesson is quite clear that the Great War was a blunder and a crime. It is high time that the great nations calmed down again and occupied themselves with peaceful pursuits, and destroyed all nuclear weapons. Wilfred Owen (1893-1918), the Soldier poet who was killed in World war I, reveals the futility of war in his immortal line: “Was it for this the clay grew tall?" Edward Grey remarked: “The lamps are going out all over Europe; we shall not see them lit again in our lifetime” (July 1914). The eastern battles the Great War were useless and stupid from the military point of view. The omino...

Leaves of Grass

Many critics criticize Walt Whitman’s Leaves of Grass. The Boston Intelligencer condemned his poetry as full of “bombast, egotism, vulgarity and nonsense". A few critics wanted Whitman to be punished. He deserves “the lash for such a violation of decency”. It is beyond comprehension why some of the critics called Leaves of Grass a dirty book. We should remember that both R.W. Emerson and Thoreau admired his poetry. Thoreau aptly remarked: “He has spoken more truth than any American or modern that I know. I have found his poem exhilarating, encouraging.” Take for example the following lines: I know that the hand of God is the promise of my own, And I know that the spirit of God is the brother of my own, And that all the men ever born are also my brothers, and the women my sisters and lovers, And that a kelson of the creation is love. What a magnificent, sharp, noble and clear thought! The lines show a force of Whitman’s originality and spiritual observance. The beauties...

Thalassemia

North America Thalassemia can be devastating for us. You are perhaps familiar with the fact that this dangerous disease leads to blood disorder and anemia. As the bone marrow fails to produce the proteins that are indispensable for the hemoglobin. In this grim situation a person is tormented and afflicted with thalassemia. It is well-known that this disease is hereditary, and it is often due to cross marriages. Prevention is better than cure, and the most prudent step is to avoid marriage with persons suffering from this disease. Recently an important seminar about Thalassemia was held at Unpad Learning Hospital. Vice Governor of West Java and Thalassemia Ambassador, Dede Yusuf pointed out that West Java in Indonesia has a very large number of thalassemia patients. “Attention from various parties is required for early thalassemia screening and detection. Screenings should start in villages and campuses”. The consequences of this disease can be very severe. Th...

P.B. Shelley's Greatest Poetic Drama

Prometheus Unbound is a four-act play by the greatest Romantic poet P. B. Shelley. The play opens a Ravine of Icy Rocks in the Indian Caucasus. PROMETHEUS is discovered in chains bound to the Precipice. Prometheus is tormented by Zeus. Ultimately, Prometheus is liberated. He is a symbol of the liberation of mankind. He may be described as the correct manifestation of the highest moral and intellectual nature. He is often compared with Satan in Milton’s Paradise. But we should remember that he is devoid of any feeling of revenge or envy that we find in Satan. Shelley himself says: “Prometheus is, in my judgment, a more poetical character than Satan, because, in addition to courage, and majesty, and firm and patient opposition to omnipotent force, he is susceptible of being described as exempt from the taints of ambition, envy, revenge, and a desire for personal aggrandizement, which, in the hero of Paradise Lost, interfere with the interest.” This book reveals Shelley’s revolutiona...
