  • Lines written in early spring
    What man has made of man? "Lines Written in Early Spring" has a rather simple form: it is composed of only six four-line stanzas, and is written in iambs with an abab rhyme scheme for each stanza. The simplicity of the poem is representative of the bulk of the rest of Wordsworth's works (and of most Romantic poetry).

  • Desiderata
    Written in 1927, Max Ehrmann’s didactic poem (a morally instructional piece) Desiderata (Latin for ‘desired things’) offers a code for life emphasizing tolerance, inclusion and optimism. The poem is full of wise sayings and gentle guidance. The reader is urged to find peace within themselves, and project this inner peace in their dealings with the world. We see the poem endorsing an attitude to accept the world in all its entirety, with all its contrasts.

  • The story of an hour
    Born Catherine O’Flaherty in 1850, Kate Chopin was raised in St. Louis, Missouri by well-off, socially established parents. An Irish immigrant, her father was a prosperous businessman, while her mother came from the well-respected French community of St. Louis. At the age of 20, Chopin married the son of a successful family in the cotton industry. Together they had six children and lived in New Orleans until eventually moving to the French town of Cloutierville, Louisiana in 1879. There, her husband owned and ran a general store until he died in 1882, at which point Chopin rather unconventionally took over the shop’s operation, thereby becoming a self-sufficient widow.

Currently I am working on the intricacies of a toxic relationship. If you relate, spend sometime to think about gender discrimination.
