(no subject)
Well i just finished listening to Beethoven's violin concerto in D major and writing an essay comparing the poetic works of Emily Dickinson to those of Walt Whitman. I personally believe that their very different lives had a profound effect on the poetry affect not only their style but also the subject matter. I also believe that their works were drawn together through common ground that is basic transcendentalist beliefs, although both poets had their own beliefs. Dickinson for example agreed with the idea that the human mind is the most powerful entity in the universe. This is evident in "The brain is wider than the sky" and the last two lines of "There is a solitude of space" but she clearly has some inner conflict going on in that the first two stanzas she claims the brain is larger than the sky and the sea, but in the last stanza she says that the brain is equal to that of God. So clearly there is conflict between her religious beliefs and transcendentalist beliefs because if she knew what she truly believed in there would be no doubt in her mind and one would be above the other. BUt since there is that equality she clearly knows not which to pick.
... ok that's enough talk like that i alread wrote about this in my essay i don't want to do it again. although i did sound pretty smart and sophisticated i gotta admit. I bet chicks dig sophisticated guys. if any girls read this tell me if my assumptions prove to be correct.
