A Cold Systematic Torture of an Innocent Girl-Wife

“ That’s my last Duchess painted on the wall, Looking as if she were alive. I call That piece a wonder, now: Frà Pandolf’s hands Worked busily a day, and there she stands”. (The Duke is as if saying to a listener that the painted picture on the wall of his wife who under suspicious circumstances... Sign in to see full entry.

When Time is Shortened in Life and Lengthened in Suffering

It is the austere language of a diffident man, Hardy, marked with stoical fortitude, patient and uncomplaining, that his poem, “I Look into My Glass”, has an indelibly immediate appeal on the readers’ mind, in his teaching man to face up to Time unflinchingly. Time, with its power, brings... Sign in to see full entry.

Sunlit Bath. (A Repeat)

Woken up by a thunder steep as I was in a slumber deep Felt as if someone shouting, Wake up, look … a guest is waiting! Dead in the night groggy I was, went back to my treasured cause Morning, upon opening the door, saw no one waiting out there; sore I wondered, “A friendly guest?” but who! Then...

A lovely play by George B.Shaw with certain disturbing questions

Although the background of Shaw's Pygmalion is phonetics, its basic theme is human relations. Pygmalion, in classical Greek mythology, was a legendary king of Cyprus, who, having fashioned an ivory statue of a woman, fell in love with it. The goddess Aphrodite (Venus) gave it life and Pygmalion... Sign in to see full entry.

Classicism versus Romanticism

In “ Postscript” Walter Peter examines the meaning of two words “classical” and “romantic” which, though commonly used, have resisted any precise meaning. The words “classical” and “romantic” define two tendencies in art and literature. But as the term “classical” has been used in a merely... Sign in to see full entry.

The Dead Soldier is both the enemy Killed and the Poet Himself

Wilfred Owen’s Strange Meeting is a protest, not simply against war but against the glamorizing of war. If we think of it as a dream, it is founded on actual incidents of soldiers whom the poet saw die in the tunneled dug-outs. Escaping into a “profound dull tunnel” the poet comes on “encumbered...

Picture of a Remote Britain before the Advent of Christianity

Shakespeare’s King Lear is founded on a childish incident where an old king decides to give away his kingdom to the child who professes to love him most. And this primitive groundwork is matched by the primitiveness of its people and the world in which they live. Here is a picture of a remote and... Sign in to see full entry.

Fatalistic Absolutism in Shakespeare’s Plays (A repeat)

( Please excuse me for this long write but somehow I couldn’t stop myself). Absolutism is a characteristic trait in Shakespearean tragedies, and the concept has been managed with great finesse in many of the heroic portrayals of its protagonists. Shakespeare exploited the immense potential for... Sign in to see full entry.

Book Learning Drowns while Experiential Learning Enlightens

( The inspiration of this write-up is the result of C C T’s and Sea Gypsy’s comment to my previous blog article. C C T observes, “ I suppose it depends on the poet. One declares that most work depends on one’s existence. Whilst the other believes most inspiration is achieved by formers study”) Sea... Sign in to see full entry.

An argument between Exponents of Intuitive and Rational thought

Wordsworth’s deep love for the ‘ beauteous forms ’ of the natural world was established early during his childhood. He, in collaboration with Samuel Taylor Coleridge, later wrote the Lyrical Ballads published in 1800, (beginning 1798 he continued to write sporadically until his death in 1850) — a...

About this Blog

Embarking on a journey in spiritual quest is fraught with the dangers of doubt, tension and anxiety, disbeliefs, misgivings, and a whole lot of uncertainties. Still, it is that one most integral aspect of life that humankind can rarely ignore or do without. Scientific minds are at loggerheads with what constitute religious truths; likewise, there are close-minded believers that give no credence to scientific facts. What I intend and invite you to discuss here is an intelligent amalgamation of the two seemingly diabolically opposite understandings: whether there exists an interrelationship that can help man to evolve and bloom like the perennial lily?
