A comparison of the lesbian community from the twentieth century and that which exists today shows almost no resemblance between the two. The traits that marked lesbian culture as ‘distinct’ - namely butch/femme identities - have been replaced by the modern lesbian.

can have control on man’s fate yet being indifferent, and this cannot be changed. And being conscious of the situation does not change the situation at all or sometimes even make you feel more unhappy. Is it better to be Socrates dissatisfied than a pig satisfied? In Blake’s view, they are all the same. Blake’s only choice is to live each moment fully.

Washington Irving’s The Legend of Sleepy Hollow and Henry Wadsworth Longfellow’s The Courtship of Miles Standish both represent the Romantic era, or Romanticism, an artistic, literary, and intellectual movement, that emphasized emotions such as horror, terror, and awe. Common themes of Romanticism found in art or literature were folklore, emotion, horror, love, nature, individualism, the supernatural, or religion. I am hoping to compare and contrast the courtship strategies of Irving’s…

that gave me life As one last time I say, "I love you". The sands of time ebb slowly to a rest, Hold now my form in final soft embrace, Let me feel your heart beat next to mine That tender caress of lovers face to face. As angels wait with wings in folded poise This most precious gift I give, as God to me, To know my love I ask you now to take All that I have, my final breath, for thee. Gods Seed I sowed a seed of grain so pure Its bread would feed a thousand worlds I watched the…
