The differences
between eighteenth-century literature and romantic poems, with respect to
history is constituted here. This is seen through the influential
works of
John Keats and
Alexander Pope.
Tao Te Ching 14
You look at it, but it is not to be seen;
Its name is Formless.
You listen to it, but it is not to be heard;
Its name is Soundless.
You grasp it, but it is not to be held;
Its name is Bodiless.
These three elude all scrutiny,
And hence they blend and become one.
Its upper side is not bright;
Its under side is not dimmed.
Continuous, unceasing, and unnameable,
It reverts to nothingness.
It is called formless form, thingless image;
It is called the elusive, the evasive.
Confronting it, you do not see its face;
Following it, you do not see its back.
Yet by holding fast to this Way of old,
You can harness the events of the present,
You can know the beginnings of the past--
Here is the essence of the Way.
Its name is Formless.
You listen to it, but it is not to be heard;
Its name is Soundless.
You grasp it, but it is not to be held;
Its name is Bodiless.

And hence they blend and become one.
Its upper side is not bright;
Its under side is not dimmed.
Continuous, unceasing, and unnameable,
It reverts to nothingness.
It is called formless form, thingless image;
It is called the elusive, the evasive.
Confronting it, you do not see its face;
Following it, you do not see its back.
Yet by holding fast to this Way of old,
You can harness the events of the present,
You can know the beginnings of the past--
Here is the essence of the Way.
Chuang Tzu 22
Tung-kuo Tzu asked Chuang Tzu,"What is called Tao-where is it?"
"It is everywhere," replied Chuang Tzu.
Tung-kuo Tzu said, "It will not do unless you are more specific."
"It is in the ant," said Chuang Tzu.
"Why go so low down?"
"It is in the weeds."
"Why even lower?"
"It is in a potsherd."
"Why still lower?"
"It is in the excrement and urine," said Chuang Tzu.

"Sir," said Chuang Tzu, "your question does not touch the essential.

When inspector Huo
asked the superintendent of markets about the fatness of pigs, the
tests were always made in parts less and less likely to be fat. Do not
insist on any particular thing.
Nothing escapes from Tao. Such is perfect Tao, and so is great speech.
Nothing escapes from Tao. Such is perfect Tao, and so is great speech.
The three words, Complete,
Entire, and All, differ in name but are the same in actuality. They
all designate the One."

I am not that fan of poetry and I cannot express clearly what I think when I am reading it. Great that I have got the source where my paper or short analysis can be written easily. I just need to go to special-essays.com and order it there. Keep this coupon code too g6oa39rW
