A long time ago I used to lean on a fence to watch my son play on a playground   That's just a memory   I've seen fences used to keep people from stepping on plants, pilfering trees   Those got old too   Now my new wife daydreams about our future house and its fenced herbs and vegetables   My mind likes to wrap itself around that idea

There is no doubt that Shakespeare is the greatest genius that human nature has yet produced. He was rightly called “our myriad-minded Shakespeare” by the famous critic S.T. Coleridge. Shakespeare is the greatest poet of the world. His most famous plays are Macbeth, King Lear, Hamlet, Julius Caesar, Othello, Romeo and Juliet, Twelfth Night, As You Like It, The Comedy of Errors, Much Ado About Nothing, Richard II, The Winter’s Tale, Cymbeline. Ben Jonson admired him in the fol

Rabbi Ben Ezra clearly shows that the po

Matthew Arnold as an Elegiac Poet Matthew Arnold is the greatest elegiac poet in the world of poetry. His most famous elegiac poems are The Scholar Gipsy, Thyrsis, Dover Beach, A Summer Night, Rugby Chapel. His elegiac poetry is more than a mere expression pf sorrow. His poetry invariably becomes reflective and philosophical. Poetry according to Matthew Arnold is a criticism of life. This is quite true about his own poetry. Garrod rightly says: “His poetry, profoundly melanch

Irreverent Criticism of John Keats John Keats (1795-1821), one of the greatest Romantic poets who is often compared with Shakespeare due to his phrases charged with a great intensity of imagination, was vehemently criticized by John Gibson Lockhart in Blackwoods Magazine: ““The phrenzy of the "Poems" was bad enough in its way; but it did not alarm us half so seriously as the calm, settled, imperturbable drivelling idiocy of Endymion.” This vituperative and utterly irreverent

Pride and Prejudice The most famous novels by Jane Austen, one of the greatest novelists in the world of literature, are Pride and Prejudice, Sense and Sensibility, Northanger Abbey, Mansfield Park, Emma, and Persuasion. Pride and Prejudice has always been my favorite. The most predominant theme in Pride and prejudice is love and matrimony.

Arms and The Man "You’ll find yourself laughing out loud at a 115-year-old play that feels like a piece of contemporary humor" (Rick Pender). Arms and the man by the Nobel Laureate George Bernard Shaw is one of the most thought provoking plays. It is a play with an impressive moral lesson about Love and War. Shaw affirmed that for the sake of ‘Art for art’s sake’ he won’t write a single line. But to criticize Sjhaw as a propagandist would be an error of perspective. I am sure
