Naturally Occurring Full Moon
1,641 wordsA rainbow is one of our atmospheres most exquisite and marvelous creations; "one of the most spectacular light shows observed on earth" (Ahrens, 1998).

Feet And Making Walked Up The Beach Sand
526 wordsFine white sand clung on to my damp feet as I ambled along the beach. It was a lovely afternoon and the sun was shining brightly above the horizon, with the sea soaking up some of its radiant rays, reflecting the others, and shimmering vibrantly under the sky. I could see dark outlines of birds flying way over the mountains, flapping their wings and soaring higher and further away until they were so small that they could hardly be seen. I walked towards the edge of the water and small waves coll...

Plays We Have Read Horizon Of Significance Play
766 wordsBefore turning to Stoppard's play, however, I'd like to linger for a few moments on those plays we have read in Liberal Studies: some Greek tragedies, Aristophanes's Clouds, and Shakespeare's Tempest and, most importantly, Hamlet. These all contain elements that seem to be lacking in Stoppard's play -- and our initial confusion, if there is any, may stem in large part from our sense that we " re missing something that we are used to.

Water Lily Pond By Monet
1,597 wordsWater Lily Pond by Monet Over the years there have been many respectable artists, however, one of the most famous of these artists Claude Oscar Monet always stood alone and was ultimately determined to follow his own solid road of experimentation and significant tradition of impressionism.

Embosomed for a season in nature, whose floods of life stream around and through us...
