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…

Romeo, and Romeo being banished from Verona. When the Nurse says, “There's no trust, No faith, no honesty in men; all perjured, All forsworn, all naught, all dissemblers.
