Tintern Abbey The Hermit
730 wordsCompare and Contrast "Tintern Abbey" with "Ancient Mariner"The greatest thing you " ll ever learn, is just to love, and be loved in return" This was sung by Nature Boy and I feel like it connects fairly well with Wordsworth's Lines Composed a Few Miles Above Tintern Abbey and Coleridge's The Rime of the Ancient Mariner.

Tu Fu And Po Ch
1,186 wordsSince the beginning of time, man has sought to explain the world around him. This is called philosophy, a Greek word which means 'love of wisdom. ' However, over the millennia it has come to mean much more. The philosophies of the ancient Chinese people, whether they explain nature or present ways to live a just life, became so complex that simple prose could not suitably express their meaning. Yet paradoxically, the simpler, less exact form of poetry does put forth the ideas. Nowhere is this mo...
