The night is silent and still as four mortals alternately hate and love, monarchs of the faerie world clash wills, and the mischief of one irrepressible woodland sprite weaves a spell over all. The breath of the darkness is lit with the glow of foxfire; hearts are broken and mended within the span ... of short hours. In the bower of the Faerie Queen a man transformed by magic slumbers peacefully. The pen of William Shakespeare has captured the imagination and hearts of audiences and readers alike across the world and through the decades, but his classic romantic comedy, A Midsummer Night’s Dream, offers something much more profound. Shakespeare has found insight into the heart, and, through his verse, best exemplifies the complicated and ... growing are not ripe until their season, So I, being young, till now not ripe to reason.

- 6685: Slavery - Southern White Slaveholder Guilt
- ... be out of line with the picture of slaves as purely property. A lame slave would essentially be a negative in terms of profit; this wouldn't be advantageous in any sense of the economic world in which Leubal is embroiled. However, Leubal goes far above and beyond this baseline version of humanity. He gets a thorough examination from a clearly respected doctor - presumably his own - and gets a fairly complex ... a slaveholder feels guilty about the institution, he sees his neighbors and countrymen following the Southern dream to prosperity through slavery. It was easier to continue with the current situation than radically alter the slaveholding world, and so southerners supported the Great Reaction in an attempt mainly to alleviate their own guilt. Perhaps the best sign that the propaganda of the Great Reaction was really slaveholders convincing themselves is in the ... with religion, economy, and fantasy, but they had yet to convince their own consciences.

The slaveholders knew that their world was collapsing, and they understood why, for they themselves could not find slavery a utopian way of life. So their guilt inspired the Great Reaction and ultimately caused its failure. In the face of ...

- 6687: The Lost Trees
- The Lost Trees The double shame in man's war against man is the residual effect on nature; an innocent , helpless bystander. The sense of potential devastation is the prevailing tone throughout the poem, "Gathered by the River," by Denise Levertov. The spoliation caused by nuclear war is not limited to the loss of human lives. Nature can take a comparable amount of time to recover from a nuclear holocaust.
