Black Sea

Europe of the same size….the “proper notion of the size and shape of these two continents. Persian territory extends southward to the Red Sea, as it is called; north of them are the Medes, then the Saspires, then the Cholchians, who go as far as the northern sea, where the mouth of the Phasis is. These four nations fill the area between the Black sea and the Persian Gulf. Thence run westward two great continental promontories, one of which stretches from the Phasis on the north along the Black Sea and the Hellespont to the Mediterranean at the Sigeum in the Troad, and again, in the south, along the Mediterranean coast from the Myriandic gulf, near Phoenicia, to Cape Triopium...Such is Asia from Persia westward; eastward, beyond Media and the territories of the Saspires and Colchians...Asia is inhabited as far as India...Such, then, are the shape and size of Asia Libya is part of the second branch I mentioned, for it adjoins Egypt...but is soon broadens out, and what is known as Libya covers a very large area. In view of what I have said, I cannot but be surprised at the method of mapping Libya, Asia, and Europe. The three continents do, in fact differ very greatly in size Europe is as long as the other two put together, and for breadth is not, in my opinion, even to be compared with them. As for Libya, we know it is washed on all sides by the sea except where it joins Asia...”(Herodotus, 4.37-4.42). This excerpt delineates the three sections of his quartered map, in which…

speaker also compares the worries of land to the peacefulness of the sea.This poem is about the death and afterlife that takes place under the sea and the peace that comes with it. The theme is about how above the ocean the waves are crazy and chaotic, but under the ocean it’s peaceful and calm, and the seamen who have died at sea are at the bottom peacefully at rest. The ocean is a frightful place, unfathomable, where many people have gone and few returned. .It mainly talks about the calmness…

The poem continues to describe the inhabitants of a nearby bar who have fallen from stardom, sharing a…

human life. Synge embodies this malicious aspect of Nature through the sea. Fate appears as the roaring sheet of water that plays the offstage protagonist, predetermining the lives of the characters. Comparable to the tragedies of Sophocles, Synge creates a looming tragic atmosphere through his premonitions of the future. The application of dramatic ironies such as the case of material brought by Maurya for Michael’s funeral being used for Bartley’s instead, adds to the tragic air of the text. …

In her books, Ursula Le Guin says that to move forward in life you must be willing to brave the…

Falls”: The cycle of life I chose the poem “The Tide Rises, The Tide Falls ” by , because it spoke to me. For some odd reason the tone of the poem really just interested me and quote on quote, “..the sea of darkness calls/.” Like the poem is symbolizing, people come and go constantly but no one lives forever. The meaning of the poem is symbolized by the ocean. In other words, the ocean symbolizes death. Just like how a person is unable to stop death, they are also unable to stop the ocean. By…
