Wordsworth’s concept of power predicates on the union of all living things through nature and the human imagination; it is the power to create beauty in the natural world which encompasses every human being. Wordsworth’s power is an energy which binds the imaginations of all living things in the pursuit of beauty. Wordsworth’s features his concept of power prominently into his poem “Tintern Abbey” to showcase his belief that everything is connected. The term itself is first encountered in the poem’s second stanza, when Wordsworth refers to “an eye made quiet” by the “power of Harmony”(47/48). The phrase “power of Harmony” is central to Wordsworth’s greater concept of power(48). In “Tintern Abbey,” Wordsworth is revisiting the banks of the Wye River. Upon his return to this spot after five years “‘mid the din of towns and cities,” Wordsworth finds that he has a greater appreciation for the natural beauty of his surroundings(26). The “power of Harmony” Wordsworth speaks of is the power to be at one with nature. Next, Wordsworth mentions the “deep power of joy(49). The word “deep” implies that this “power” runs below the surface of both nature and all living beings, binding everyone together(49). With this, Wordsworth expands his concept of power from oneness with nature to oneness with all beings. At this point in the poem, Wordsworth is alone with nature as his only surrounding. This aloneness allows Wordsworth to realize his connection not only to his natural surroundings,…

to be the element that links all the documentaries together has less to do with visual style and more with Antonioni’s background and infatuation with his home country. These films seem to be about the destructive results of clinging to old customs in the modern era, how attempting to capture the past is a futile effort. There is no shortage of notes about social classes either. “Gente Del Po” was the most memorable to me as I’m sure it was to most. The many shots of the landscapes, river and…

California (Fig.1), and within the Owens Valley basin, flanked by the Sierra Nevada and Inyo/White mountain ranges to the west and east, respectively. The hills are of particular interest as they represent an unusual combination of lithologies, structures, and a geomorphology that is inconsistent for the basin. Using geophysical methods, I hope to infer the source of this outcrop. A long-runout landslide, or a structural flower system is currently proposed to explain the Poverty Hills; previous…

The Aztecs and the Spanish, they came in contact with each other and started a war. A war that was never forgotten, the fall and defeat of the Aztec empire. It was unavoidable, this is because Cortes and his men had the determination, also the Spanish were more powerful than the Aztecs in combat. Another reason is if Cortes and his men didn’t defeat the Aztecs, the King’s army searching for him would come in contact with them and kill them off if they didn’t convert to Catholic. Also when Cortes…

(ConnectED, 4)! Another kind of tomb robber is somebody who could work in the embalming process. While wrapping the body, they have a chance to sneak all the riches out (Alchin, 2). A group of men built a structure underground called the Valley of the Kings. It was used for holding tombs of kings, like King Tut, but it still got robbed. When the Valley of the Kings caved in, King Tut’s tomb was the only tomb that stayed perfect. Tut’s tomb was found by Howard Carter. He explained that he could…
