He Was My Everything “Stop all the Clocks” is a beautifully compelling poem by W. H. Auden. It is a eulogy of sorts, but also a love poem. It is compelling because of the way Auden manipulates language through metaphors. He refrains from using similes because metaphors are the stronger method of comparison. The strength of metaphors comes from their layered meanings, their subjective meanings, and their structure; they are what make this poem powerful. Metaphors are buried in layers. They…

governmental regime is certainly an issue that should not be overlooked and requires consideration, I have to agree with Jim Grant’s position. His statement that “You want to wait to launch the campaign until all governments are respectable?” from his eulogy by Peter Adamson resonated with me because of our lack of governmental moral metrics.

During the 18th century, one of the most acclaimed and controversial African American poets emerged, Phillis Wheatley. Stolen from her homeland, “pleasing Gambia…with native grace in spring”, by slave-traders and sold to the Wheatley Family in Boston, Massachusetts (Levernier), Wheatley became the first African American woman to publish a book of poems. Judged and criticized for neglecting her own state of slavery and becoming a Christianized slave, her work led to the embarrassment of future…

During the roaring 1920’s F. Scott Fitzgerald wrote “The Great Gatsby”. The novel centres on opulence, extravagance and self-preservation. America was descending into an age of frivolity and the freedom that wealth appeared to bring; as ‘the American economy soared…prohibition made millionaires out of bootleggers and the generation that fought the war turned to wild and extravagant living [in order] to compensate.’ Within this whirlwind of hedonism the character Jay Gatsby seizes this…

learn more and more about the world and ourselves each day. What we realized is all we had to do to achieve this was ask different questions and listen for the clues to form an answer.
