Nature in Litreature

Many of the great literature works on nature took birth centuries ago and are still relevant. Daffodils by William Wordsworth goes
"I wandered lonely as a cloud
That floats on high o'er vales and hills,
When all at once I saw a crowd,
A host of golden daffodils;"
He knew that we humans are just a part of this vast nature. To enjoy the beauty we have to immerse in it and he wanted to be like a cloud that sees everything and floats in the sky.

One can enjoy something only when he is calm as the white mountains. To be calm and serene it requires patience and will. To enjoy the calmness and aesthetics of nature one does not have to grow intellectual as Samuel T Coleridge, or Wordsworth or Robert Frost. He only has to see what the mother nature got to show him. He should have a mind like water which is ready to flow.


The words of Shakespeare "And this, our life, exempt from public haunt, finds tongues in trees, books in the running brooks, sermons in stones, and good in everything" shows how a man can learn from nature and all has to have is a free mind.

Nature is the mother of all wisdom. They are twins bound to each other. Never does nature say a thing and wisdom another.

  1. You do wrong things to nature and you'll see it turn against you. But a man wise man doesn't want to make trouble to anyone.
    So.. my point is,there are times when "nature say a thing and wisdom another".

    1. wise is different to from knowledge. Wisdom. It's being aware of something, and having information. Knowledge is really about facts and ideas that we acquire through study, research, investigation, observation, or experience. Wisdom is the ability to discern and judge which aspects of that knowledge are true, right, lasting, and applicable to your life. Nature does reflect the actions of humans. And wise people have their own way to get things done. No cooperation movement, satyagraha, did no harm at sight but was more powerful than any violence. Thus nature is coinciding with wisdom and not knowledge

Parting ways

 "What would you say if I ask you out?" asked him. The question startled her mildly, for she always thought of him as her friend. It was quite unusual of him to ask, she thought.  It was a beautiful day in the park. The sky was blue and the sun shone brightly. Children were playing at distance. They were walking along the pavement, looking at the kids playing.  "Hey," he called her.  "Well hypothetically, I might not create a scene, but I don't want a relationship now." Said she.  It's what he expected all along. For he never wanted to upset her. After all, it's only a miracle if a girl in this world would go out with me, he thought.  She thought, it' s been over a year since I met him. We had a good time. Now he's asking all the wrong questions. He asked few questions. That's what I liked about him.  He came to her asking for a donation to help the homeless while they were in College. A guy like that, smart, charming and witty. He ...

നഷ്ടപ്പെട്ട സ്വപ്നങ്ങൾ

 ഉറക്കം നഷ്ടപ്പെട്ട്  രാത്രി അയാൾ ഉണർന്നു. വർഷങ്ങൾക്കു ശേഷ താൻ ഒരു സ്വപ്നം കണ്ടിരിക്കുന്നു. ചുറ്റും തുറന്ന് കിടന്നിരുന്ന പുസ്തകങ്ങളും കടലാസു കഷണങ്ങളും, അങ്ങിങ്ങായി എറിഞ്ഞിട്ടിരുന്ന വസ്ത്രങ്ങളും എല്ലാമായി ആകെ അലങ്കോലമായിരുന്നു അയാളുടെ മുറി. അതേ പോലെ അലങ്കോലം ആയിരുന്നു അയാളുടെ മനസ്സിലെ ചിന്തകളും. വേണ്ട എന്ന് പലതവണ വെച്ചിട്ടും അയാൾക്ക് അവളെ മനസ്സിൽ നിന്നും പറിച്ചെറിയാൻ സാധിച്ചിരുന്നില്ല. പലതും അയാൾ പരീക്ഷിച്ചു നോക്കിയിട്ടുണ്ട് പക്ഷേ ഫലിച്ചില്ല. ഒടുവിൽ എങ്ങനെയൊക്കെയോ അവളെ മറികടന്നു എന്ന് ചിന്തിച്ചിരിക്കുമ്പോലാണ് സ്വപ്നത്തിലൂടെ ഒരിക്കൽ കൂടി അവൾ അയാളെ പരാജയപ്പെടുത്തുന്നത്.  ക്ലാസ്മുറിയുടെ ലാസ്റ്റ് ബെഞ്ചിൽ ഇരിക്കുകയായിരുന്നു അയാൾ. അന്നാദ്യമായി അവളും ലാസ്റ്റ് ബെഞ്ചിൽ ഇരുന്നു.  അവളുടെ കണ്ണുളകൾ അയാളെ എന്നും ആകർഷിച്ചിരുന്നു. കുസൃതി ഒളിപ്പിച്ചു വെച്ച് പുഞ്ചിരിക്കുന്ന പോലുള്ള അവളുടെ ആ നോട്ടം അത് എന്നും അയാളിൽ വികാരങ്ങളെ ഉണർത്തി. അവളോട് തന്റെ  മനസ്സിലുള്ളതെല്ലാം അയാൾ തുറന്നു പറഞ്ഞിരുന്നെങ്കിലും അവൾക്ക് അയാളെ അങ്ങനെ സങ്കൽപ്പിക്കാൻ ആയിരുന്നില്ല ഇല്ല. ക്രിസ്മസ് ഫ്രണ്ട് ആയി അവളെ ...

Fear And Failure

American President Mr Franklin D Roosevelt once said "The only thing we have to fear is fear". Fear is the feeling of anxiety concerning the outcome of something or the safety of someone or the likelihood of something unwelcome happening. Fear is an unwanted emotion that will let you from thinking clearly and solve issues. Fear is a false anticipation of  something to go wrong.Fear is a necessary evil. Fear often helps you in physical situations  by boosting adrenalin. But in mental and intellectual troubles fear is an adverse factor. When fear is inflicted it reduces your ability to think and lead you by instincts. Shakespeare in one of his famous dramas said "When you fear a foe, fear crushes your strength ; and this weakness gives strength to your opponents"  It is same in the case of problems in life. When you begin to fear them they will only grow. But rather when you start to face them you will see they will begin to melt away like ice. There is no life a...
