Bliss

Perhaps one of Canada's best and most celebrated poets, Bliss Carman, was influenced by the works of the American transcendental poets, and his ancestors’ beliefs that God's "truth" can be experienced through natural settings (D.Bentley). It is evident that “Vestigia” was inspired by these ideas. This author’s poem, “Vestigia”, is effective in expressing a very mystical and transcendental idea of finding traces of God in all of Creation. Through the use of beautiful, imaginative imagery, the…

Many people live by the phrase “knowledge is power” while others comfortably believe in the saying “ignorance is bliss”. According to Juan D. Carrillo and Thomas Mariotti, some people would rather be ignorant because “voluntary ignorance [can] be used as a self-control device preventing the individual from embarking in a hazardous activity which he [or she] could later regret,” (Carillo and Mariotti 1). These people believe that ignorance is truly blissful because knowing an abundant amount of…

The second role woman have portrayed throughout history is of a sexual nature and its defined by a broad category. Characters like Pearl in Bliss and Elizabeth Rousset in Boule de Suif , show woman in a more exotic state that appeal to the male gender. This role can be labeled as the other woman or the mistress and any woman of a certain age who isn 't claimed by marriage falls under this stereotype. The other woman is solemnly defined by judgment of both woman and men; Woman are taught to…

a conversation about how and why we engage with a text. It establishes and outlines two categories of text and yet the two classifications of pleasure and bliss are still unable to fully remove themselves from the other. One cannot find bliss in the text without first finding pleasure. It seems to be more of a two-step process to achieving bliss through a text rather than it instantly becoming a blissful text. It is not a dismissal of the classifications or of Barthes’ ideologies, rather it is…

On the evolutionary scale, immortal bliss climbs to the summits of consciousness above mind and there like a great heaven-bird on a motionless sea is poised her winged ardour of creative joy on the still deep of the eternal’s peace. Our earth starts from mud and ends in sky. When the transformation comes, “all is new – felt in God” (10.3.452). When unity is one, then strife is lost. All this is nothing but the vindication of the victorious power of poetry. Such poetry’s progression is through…

Chaucer continues to ensure his character traits are realistic; instead of making January completely amoral, Chaucer makes his choice of sinful happiness, in lieu of metaphysical bliss, a conscious and difficult one. January’s conclusion is that he “shall be leading such a happy life,” not that he will be miserable in the marriage. Thus, Chaucer defends a causal relationship between lust and the happiness gained from this marriage…

Ever since I started understanding philosophical ideas, one of the most feared things for me was karma. When people follow their bliss, they forget that the sins they commit in order to attain their bliss will follow perpetually. Dante Alighieri’s Inferno is a prime example of karma which conveys to the audience what to avoid when “following one’s bliss,” an idea of Joseph Campbell. Campbell believes that myths “won’t tell you what makes you happy, but it will tell you what happens when you…
