Make Much Of Time Virgins To Make
1,186 wordsIt is a blessing to those who live today that over the years men and women have written poetry. In some poetry have been words reminding those who read it of the wonderful world in which they breathe and the necessity to live life. One of the writers of such poetry was Robert Herrick. Herrick used a lyrical style, unappreciated in his day, to write poetry that captured the very essence of carpe diem-to seize the day. Many of his poems were published in a volume entitled Hesperides. The most famo...

Normative Ethics Literary Critic
3,365 words... s of good and evil of our actions have a truth-value; the necessity of choosing what one is actually doing, rather than just responding to a situation; actions are to be in accordance with rules; and these rules are universally applicable to moral agents.

Trans Siberian Moscow Vladivostok Route
407 wordsTrans-Siberian Railroad, the greater part of the rail route from Moscow through the Siberian steppes to the pacific port of Vladivostok. Its serious planning began in the 1890 s, motivated partly by military ambitions, but chiefly by eagerness to colonize the then virgin but cultivable lands in the east, which would relieve rural overpopulation in European Russia, and to tap their mineral resources. The driving force in the decision to build was Tsar Alexander HI. By 1890 the railway had reached...

The Old Man And Wormhole A Review
1,664 wordsThis story represents the basic existential angst that infiltrates the late 20 th century American conscience. Note the theme of the threatening stranger who goes unrecognized by the innocent old man, obviously an analogue for Uncle Sam, the perennial archetypal figure so beloved of editorial cartoonists and poster collectors. He invites the "wormhole", which is here strangely personalized, although it is a science fiction concept. A wormhole is a "hole" in the structure of the universe, which t...

Mein Kampf Luther
4,414 wordsAnti-Semite. The word rests in a conversation like a foul stench and with it comes unbidden images and accusations. Today in many circles this word alone is possibly the most horrendous name to place on a person. Maybe though, not because of what it means, but because of what it brings to mind. Automatically and unwanted, pictures come to our mind of goose stepping Nazis and concentration camps, bodies piled high and what we think of as the air fills with the scent of burning flesh. Our worst ni...

" (Eph. I, 4 - 5). These powerful words of St. Paul in his first letter to the Ephesians, I think, best characterize the spirit of Teilhard the Chardin, his idea of man and mans place in the universe, and of the common goals of humanity.

Dante Alighieri Divine Comedy
1,056 wordsAlthough there seem to be similarities between Dantes vision of Satan and his vision of God, Satan is actually an inversion of the Trinity and God. There are also significant differences between the two visions, which are essential to understanding this inversion. The most obvious instance of inversion is Dantes construction of the world of his Divine Comedy. A simplified version of this world looks like this: EMPYREAN (God) PLANETS PURGATORY HELL SATAN From this depiction, it is obvious that Go...
