The gods and the angels can live only in heaven as they are conceived as purity intelligence and ardence. They can come down to this world of ours and live and breath here among us when this world has become a heaven. Certainly we can make a heaven out of this earth, the ingredient materials for which have already been endowed to man. And regarding the reality of the world, one question is logical and relevant here. Are we really living in this world, or are we lying somewhere else and dreaming a realistically colourful dream of living a life on the planet earth, which would be a good speculation to ruminate on.
Thomas Gray's Elegy Written In a Country Church Yard is a clear indication of the level of ardence, respect and love he kept for all those who lived and departed before us. This poem is brimming with the unremitting affection every human being shall keep for his fore fathers. Once we go through this poem, and if lucky, are able to sing it fully at a stretch- which we never can due to our continuous sobbing, choking and weeping- we will never again unbelieve the strong and pervading influence of the dead on the writing of his poems.
Eurydice was the beloved wife of Orpheus, the singer. His love and ardence for his wife was such great and lofty that when Eurydice died, Orpheus went to Hades, the Netherworld to bring her back to life and home. Hades, the Lord of the Netherworld and his wife, Persephone, touched and enchanted by the beauty, melody and sweetness of his songs decided to let him take back Eurydice alive, on the one condition that once they give her back to him, he must walk in front and never look back, till they pass the outer bounds of the Netherworld or Eurydice will have to return permanently to the underworld and forever lost to him and he, Orpheus will fall to pieces. "Don't look back," Eurydice pleaded him. So thus they went off, Orpheus in front and Eurydice behind. But after a distance, his impatience and anxiety tempted Orpheus to look back once to see whether the Netherworld King's promise was real and being kept, as it was unique and unprecedented, and also to check whether Eurydice was really following or was it all a dream. The instant he looked back, Eurydice dropped a tear and saying "good bye dear, forever", vanished from his sight, returning permanently to the netherworld. Depressed and lost, Orpheus walked away, dropped a tear and fell to pieces.
There can not be said to be any modernity in John Donne's poems except in his treatment of themes in the metaphysical style and marking a change from the style, imagery and protocols of the pastoral age of Edmund Spencer. Any modernity and rebelliousness remained in his literary career declined as he indulged more and more as an Anglican preacher. The vein of fire we find in his earlier years of songs, sonnets and satires came nowhere to be seen, but he since then spoke some of the fine sermons of the Seventeenth century. He frequently preached before King Charles First. The depth and subtlety of his thoughts fits a conservative best.
Khushwant Singh has written a fine article about Mother Teresa describing how she became the beloved of Calcutta. She was the celebrated Ugoslavian missionary who founded the Missionaries Of Charity in Calcutta and was later honoured with the Nobel Prize and the Bhaarath Rathna. She took up missionary work at the very early age of Twelve. To her it was a work of love, just like being married to Christ. She said, we are never too young to love, it was just like a girl getting ready to get married. She went to India and became a school principal there. Once, while travelling to Darjeeling, she said she got a call from God, asking her to serve the poor. Thus she started the Missionaries Of Charity in Calcutta in Bengal. Poverty, chastity, obedience and free service are the four vows of her Order. They have to remain poor, show chastity to God, be obedient to God and render free service to all. Her institutions take in destitutes and lepers to care. Their day begins with a very early morning prayer and ends with another. Wearing a blue bordered white sari, she controlled everything like a mother and almost became an Indian. The Catholic Mother starting a Charity Home very near to the Goddess Kaali's Temple in Calcutta angered the caste Hindus there. They surrounded her with weapons and she faced them boldly. She asked them to kill her if they wanted, but never to disturb the inmates who were dying in peace. One day a T.B-affected priest enjoyed her nursing and exclaimed: "For Thirty years I have served Goddess Kaali in her temple, and now the Goddess stands before me." Within a short period, Calcutta people's attitude towards her changed to affection, ardence and respect. People willingly helped her with funds. Becoming a member of Mother Teresa's organization became much valued in Calcutta. The former Bengal Chief Minister Dr. B.C.Roy was a great admirer of Mother. She could visit his office any time without notice.
The Young Years Of Abraham Lincoln.When the early settlers began their great march to the West, new states were formed on their way, one among those earliest being Kentucky. It was a beautiful state with dense forests, trees and far-stretching grass lands where Abraham Lincoln was born in a small farm and brought up upto eight years. There his beloved mother taught him to read books and in the evenings sat with him by the fireside telling him stories. Those were his unforgettable years of primary education. Then the family moved further West, crossed the great Ohio river and settled in the newly formed state of Indiana which had no cities, towns and villages, but forests, forests and forests. Trees were cut, they cleared the forest and built an eighteen square feet log house which had a loft in the roof and that was Abe's bed. Even the eight year old Abe was given an axe to help in the work- the initial training which made Abe Lincoln, Able Lincoln. This lonely family cleared the ground and planted corn, hunted game in the forest and caught fish from the rivers. After his hard work in the fields and forests, he found one or two hours daily to read books by the firelight, among which the Bible, John Banyan's The Pilgrim's Progress, Life of George Washington and Aesop's Fables were his favourites. He was an avid reader. When a school master came to live many miles away, young Lincoln and his sister daily walked those long distances to and fro to learn things. At his eleventh year his mother died and two years later his father presented them with a kind new mother who took care of the children extremely well.There have been questions on the tallness of Abraham Lincoln for which there has been only one logical answer- good food, hard labour and a clean environment. At seventeen he was Six feet Four inches tall and he grew big and strong each day. Timber cutting was their livelihood and he cut more trees than any daily. If in the forest trees were heard falling one after the other, people knew that Lincoln was at work. He was the prize-winning runner, jumper, swimmer and shooter. Long walks in the hills and forests were his hobby. He hated to kill. Animals, birds, trees, rivers and snow, all shared his ardence. And he liked debates, arguments and talking and assembled his friends till midnight doing these things. Once he walked thirty four miles to hear a famous lawyer speak and see him setting free an innocent accused of murder through his eloquence and oratory skills. It was then and there that the impressed Abe decided to make himself a lawyer. So in the woods he made imaginary speeches to the trees and birds, perfecting the skill. And thus his teen years were over.But the World remembers him for his two great acts, preventing the young United States from separation in a civil war and abolishing slavery as a guiding beacon to this world. This was made possible through an adventurous journey undertaken by him at twenty one, so it cannot be left out here. He with his friend following the business advice of his father undertook an One thousand Eight hundred mile journey in a small boat down the Mississippi which is one of the greatest rivers in this world. Their destination was New Orleans where they reached enduring rapids and human attacks on the way. There for the first time in his life he saw slave labourers working in the cotton plantations. Also he saw slave auctions. The humiliation he saw in the eyes of those girls, mothers, children and men being sold in auction in markets there made his determination to wipe out this human evil from the face of this earth and to make this world rid of suppressors and dictators which in time culminated in the firm policy of his native land.
