The Romantic Poets And Role Of Nature
1,492 words
... Christianity. Here, however, he definately
expresses the typical Romantic view of the natural
world. Some critics have assumed that: " The Ode
is 'Wordsworth's conscious farewell to his art, a
dirge sung over his departing powers'" (Trilling,
123). Other writers disagree, but none the less,
the significance still remains. If Wordsworth has
decided to describe his growing fertility, and
loss of " the glory and the dream... ", than
nature has certainly been given a very important
role to play ...

contains subtle use of imagery and a brilliant
evocation of the atmosphere that prepares a reader

its own solutions up to the negation of the very
possibility of having a happy life. And recently,

Head Of The Family Clara Barton

After reading Francis Parkman's article, Women Are
Unfit to Vote, I found myself both offended and
annoyed. His arguments were not only shaky, but
they were also illogical. He states that the
family has been the political unit; consequently,
the head of the family should be the political
representative. He goes on by stating that women
have shared imperfectly in the traditions and not
in the practice of self-government. Lastly, he
suggests women might vote that men should go off
and fight in war...
