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 ...

William Blake's use of Symbols

Symbolism in poetry developed out of the Dada activities of World War I , and the most important center of the symbolist poets was Paris . Even before the modern age, the visionary poet Blake used symbols in his poetry. For example, in his lyric "The Lamb", we find that the lamb is a symbol of Christ: Little Lamb I'll tell thee, Little Lamb I'll tell thee: He is called by thy name, For he calls himself a Lamb: He is meek & he is mild, He became a little child: I a child & thou a lamb, We are called by his name. Little Lamb God bless thee. Little Lamb God bless thee. The lamb is an apt symbol for the Prince of Peace Jesus. The poet uses another symbol in the above lines. Jesus is like "a little child". Jesus is simple, humble, innocent and sinless like a child. William Blake himself remarked: " A symbol is the only possible expression of some invisible essence." From the...

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...

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...
