';God's Grandeur';
The world is charged with the grandeur of God.
It will flame out, like shining from shook foil;1
It gathers to a greatness, like the ooze of oil
Crushed.2 Why do men then now not reck his rod?3
Generations have trod, have trod, have trod; 5
And all is seared with trade; bleared, smeared with toil;
And wears man's smudge and shares man's smell; the soil
Is bare now, nor can foot feel, being shod.4
And for5 all this, nature is never spent; 6
There lives the dearest freshness deep down things; 10
And though the last lights off the black West went
Oh, morning, at the brown brink eastward, springs--
Because the Holy Ghost over the bent
World broods with warm breast and with ah! bright wings.
the question is...
Explain how the thought of the last four lines of ';God's Grandeur'; is similar to Line 16 of Lyric 54 of Tennyson's ';In Memoriam'; and the last line of Shelley's ';Ode to the West Wind.';
Line 16 of Lyric 54 of Tennyson's ';In Memoriam';
Behold, we know not anything;
I can but trust that good shall fall
At last--far off--at last, to all,
And every winter change to spring.
Last line of Shelley's ';Ode to the West Wind.';
. . . O Wind,
If Winter comes, can Spring be far behind?Can someone please help me with English literature?
they r all optimistic
