Orchard

William turned the BMW onto Blue Hills Road and drove towards the orchard. The overdeveloped, middle class suburbs of Wallingford, Connecticut gave way to a rural landscape. Rows of fallow fields used to grow pumpkins, gourds and squash spread out along the shoulder of Blue Hills Road. On the rolling hills above the estate…

Whereas Orfeo’s orchard is a result of artistry which dominates man and nature, the castle in the fairyworld uses artifice to project a semblance of such control. This artifice is implicit in the enameled works of the fairy castle, which according to many literary sources…

In the mid-1800’s to the early 1900’s two artists are responsible for the modern art movement these two artists are Vincent Van Gogh and Claude Monet. These two artists have very distinct style of painting, however, they both helped to shape the direction of painting would go over the following century. Monet and Van Gogh painted their lives on a canvas and in their thoughts and words. Through both of the men’s paintings we can understand the struggle as artists during this time in history. The…

Shakespeare uses ‘orchard’ instead. According to the OED, an ‘orchard’ is an enclosed garden for herbs and fruit trees (n, 1), and it is essentially another word for ‘garden’ (which is defined with identical terms; n, 1a.). Scripture does refer to where the fall of Adam and Eve occurs as the ‘garden’ of Eden and not an ‘orchard’, but I think Shakespeare’s inclusion of the word ‘serpent’ supports this passage’s allusion to scripture. In addition, I believe that the ghost is using ‘orchard’ to…

The assigned Emily Dickinson poems seem to have a theme connecting death with God. I believe Dickinson sees the world through the lens of loss. Grief seems to consume her poetry. It is as if Dickinson ruminates on the subject of death analyzing it from many angles. Her poetry also hints at her attempts to reconcile her thoughts and feelings about death and her relationship with God. I think in the grief-filled aftermath of loss, Dickinson’s contemplates the role of God in life and death as…

I was falling asleep again wihen the bright lady appeared. -What do you mean? – Betty asked. -Just what I said, her neighbor said confidentially-. She just appeared out of nowhere and she lit the entire orchard with her bright light, I don’t know why. -She might be radioactive. Or perhaps she went through a magnetic field or a nuclear waste lot and that’s why she is like that -. Betty answered to her pumpkin neighbor quite serious and worried. -I think that…

Capulet’s Orchard. Romeo decides to climb up under her balcony, because he must see her again. Romeo is starting to fall in love so vastly that when Juliet speaks Romeo says, “She speaks: O, speak again, bright angel! for thou art As glorious to this night, being o'er my head As is a winged messenger of heaven Unto the white-upturned wondering eyes Of mortals that fall back to gaze on him When he bestrides the lazy-pacing clouds And sails upon the bosom of the air.”(SCENE II. Capulet's orchard.)…

Have you ever wondered about Singapore and what their culture is like? Although Singapore has great diversity, it is a united country with united religions and cultures.

fruit orchards one on each side of the road. You become curious as to the type of fruit on the trees and if you can pick it or have to buy a prearranged set amount like a peck or bushel. Without really thinking about it you decided to turn down the drive way of one of the two orchards, dust is flying from your car as it rambles down the driveway and from your seat the trees look filled with ripe apples – your mouth starts to water. After coming to a stop and talking to an employee of the orchard…
