Think about this. Mathematics, philosophy, springtime, depravity, farming, courtship, quasars, and bubble gum; all came from nothingness...

Laws Of Nature Hobbes And Locke

Dante Makes Betrayal Sin
300 wordsAlthough it is hard to read Dantes triple rhyme, I am thrilled by the Infernos ambiguity and allegoric power. It is really a three-dimensional art.

Dante makes us believe in his narration involving our senses. This narrative poem astonishes me by the power of the language and by its mysticism. In the first canto we see Dante in...
