Faith in the Almighty Lord creates love, peace, brotherhood, inner joy, patience, humbleness, righteousness, kindness, and self-restraint.These good qualities alone can protect our world "where ignorant armies clash by night".

"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 ...

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...

Body Clock

<script type='text/javascript' src='http://track4.mybloglog.com/js/jsserv.php?mblID=2011050504394922'></script> Body Clock It is well known that Body Clock regulates our body temperature, blood pressure and our capacity to cope with stress and pressures. Our internal clock determines our energy and alertness in completing our daily tasks. We will have better performance level if we are early risers in the morning. Larks and early birds greet the dawn, and are fresh throughout the day. On the contrary, the people who don’t sleep until 2 a.m. lose their freshness and alertness. Larks are better than night owls. With our biological rhythm in proper order and good shape, we can hope to face the setbacks and stress in a better way. We will be soon worn out if we fail to obey our body clock. It has been righty said: “Early to bed and early to rise makes a man (or woman) healthy and wise”. Angels in the early morning may be seen the dews among. Stoopin...

In Search of Shakespeare’s Vocabulary

September 06, 2010

In Search of Shakespeare’s Vocabulary No other author-ancient, modern and postmodern- has a richer vocabulary than Shakespeare. Shakespeare used about 29,000 words in his writings. Milton employed 8,000 words. The Iliad and Odyssey together used 9,000 words; in the New Testament, there are about 4800 words used. It may be further added that an average person uses only about 500 words. The main reason behind Shakespeare using about 29,000 words is that he was writing about many different types of theme-the treachery, lust, jealousy, ingratitude, the follies of the great, and a thousand other moods and passions. A large number of conceits, phrases and a large number of coined words in his tragedies, comedies and sonnets makes his style monumental. The use of antitheses and paradox Shakespeare’s plays makes his style unique. For example,in Macbeth,we can notice the following lines: 1. Nothing is But what is not 2. The insane root That takes the reason prisoner. 3. Ange...

E. E. Cummings' Love for God The following lines by E. E. Cummings inspire us with his sincere faith in God: i thank You God for most this amazing day:for the leaping greenly spirits of trees and a blue true dream of sky;and for everything which is natural which is infinite which is yes It is well-known that Cummings was quiet innovative and unconventional in his poetic style, but the above quote leaves no doubt in our mind that his attitude toward life was traditional and spiritual.

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...
