From ‘’ Self-Reliance’’ of Ralph Waldo Emerson

‘’Trust thyself:every heart vibrates to that iron string.Accept the place the divine Providence has found for you;the society of your contemporaries,the connexion of events.Great men have always done so and confided themselves childlike to the genius of their age,betraying their perception that the absolutely trustworthy was seated at their heart,working through their hands,predominating all their being.And we are now men,and must accept in the highest mind the same transcendent destiny; and not minors and invalids in a protected corner,not cowards fleeing before a revolution,but guides,redeemers,and benefactors,obeying the almighty effort,and advancing on Chaos and the Dark.       Throughout the Self-Reliance, Emerson asks for his audience to trust to themselves in a commanding way, which can also be perceived as a way of showing the gleam of the light.Man should trust himself because the power comes from the within not from the outside.The   iron...

From ‘’ Self-Reliance’’ of Ralph Waldo Emerson ‘’Trust thyself:every heart vibrates to that iron string.Accept the place the divine Providence has found for you;the society of your contemporaries,the connexion of events.Great men have always done so and confided themselves childlike to the genius of their age,betraying their perception that the absolutely trustworthy was seated at their heart,working through their hands,predominating all their being.And we are now men,and must accept in the highest mind the same transcendent destiny; and not minors and invalids in a protected corner,not cowards fleeing before a revolution,but guides,redeemers,and benefactors,obeying the almighty effort,and advancing on Chaos and the Dark. Throughout the Self-Reliance, Emerson asks for his audience to trust to themselves in a commanding way, which can also be perceived as a way of showing the gleam of the light.Man should trust himself because the power comes from the within not from the outside.The iron string is a good metaphorical phrase used probably to refer to the power which is indeed inborn.Man should consider his place as if the God,the divine Providence created it specially for him which comes to mean that relying on yourself is forgetting about the others. Thus, it means ignoring the society and the traditions that is how great men do according to Emerson otherwise, how it would be possible to pursue your ^^ own ^^thoughts. Great men confided themselves childlike to the genius of their age, this is very well resembled to a behaviour of a child so what they generally do is finding out their own intuition and following that path. The way children play games and put rules to those games regardless of the real world as they are already unaware of what goes around. Thus, if we are to talk about the ‘absolute trustworthy’ perception, the place of it is at the heart. Further, in the same trancendent destiny, beyond the imagination if a man could go to that point, the flow of thoughts will come and the spirit will move on so it will be able to fight with the dark and bring the light, the truth and the power. By the ‘’protected corner’’ might mean hiding within the corners of the society and tradition which, by doing so, blocks men to think beyond the majesty. However, being guide namely, giving the true basis to the humanity is only done by possesing the truth, and if the truth given out to the society, the society will be enlightened. The truth for Emerson comes from the self-reliance, this is the idea what he tries to give out and so he emphasizes it at the last sentence very strongly.

The Analysis of ''Dying'' by Emily Dickinson

Dying I heard a fly buzz when I died; The stillness round my form Was like the stillness in the air Between the heaves of storm. The eyes beside had wrung them dry, And breaths were gathering sure For that last onset, when the king Be witnessed in his power. I willed my keepsakes, signed away What portion of me I Could make assignable,-and then There interposed a fly, With blue, uncertain, stumbling buzz, Between the light and me; And then the windows failed, and then I could not see to see.   The title of the poem very much shows that it will unfold the steps of the act of dying. Initially, the noise of a fly appears by the time Dickinson dies. The only element about the noise which breaks the silence.The smilarity between the stillness of the air and the one around her body implicate the calm atmosphere presented by her between ''the heaves of storm''  The rest of the people suffer from the death of her ...

Emily Dickinson

A Time for Everything There is a time for everything, and a season for every activity under heaven: a time to be born and a time to die, a time to plant and a time to uproot, a time to kill and a time to heal, a time to tear down and a time to build, a time to weep and a time to laugh, a time to mourn and a time to dance, a time to scatter stones and a time to gather them, a time to embrace and a time to refrain, a time to search and a time to give up, a time to keep and a time to throw away, a time to tear and a time to mend, a time to be silent and a time to speak, a time to love and a time to hate, a time for war and a time for peace.
