Of Marriage and Single Life By Francis Bacon HE that hath wife and children hat

Of Marriage and Single Life By Francis Bacon HE that hath wife and children hath given hostages to fortune; for they are impediments to great enterprises, either of virtue or mischief. Certainly the best works, and of greatest merit for the public, have proceeded from the unmarried or childless men; which both in affection and means have married and endowed the public. Yet it were great reason that those that have children should have greatest care of future times; unto which they know they must transmit their dearest pledges. Some there are, who though they lead a single life, yet their thoughts do end with themselves, and account future times impertinences. 1 Nay, there are some other that account wife and children but as bills of charges. Nay more, there are some foolish rich covetous men that take a pride in having no children, because they may be thought so much the richer. For perhaps they have heard some talk, Such an one is a great rich man, and another except to it, Yea, but he hath a great charge of children; as if it were an abatement to his riches. But the most ordinary cause of a single life is liberty, especially in certain self-pleasing and humorous 2 minds, which are so sensible of every restraint, as they will go near to think their girdles and garters to be bonds and shackles. Unmarried men are best friends, best masters, best servants; but not always best subjects; for they are light to run away; and almost all fugitives are of that condition. A single life doth well with churchmen; for charity will hardly water the ground where it must first fill a pool. It is indifferent for judges and magistrates; for if they be facile and corrupt, you shall have a servant five times worse than a wife. For soldiers, I find the generals commonly in their hortative put men in mind of their wives and children; and I think the despising of marriage amongst the Turks make the vulgar soldier baser. Certainly wife and children are a kind of discipline of humanity; and single men, though they may be many times more charitable, because their means are less exhaust, yet, on the other side, they are more cruel and hardhearted (good to make severe inquisitors), because their tenderness is not so oft called upon. Grave natures, led by custom, and therefore constant, are commonly loving husbands, as was said of Ulysses, vetulam suam prætulit immortalization [he preferred his old wife to immortality]. Chaste women are often proud and forward, as presuming upon the merit of their chastity. It is one of the best bonds both of chastity and obedience in the wife, if she think her husband wise; which she will never do if she find him jealous. Wives are young men’s mistresses; companions for middle age; and old men’s nurses. So as a man may have a quarrel 3 to marry when he will. But yet he 4 was reputed one of the wise men that made answer to the question, when a man should marry, — A young man not yet, an elder man not at all. It is often seen that bad husbands have very good wives; whether it be that it raiseth the price of their husband’s kindness when it comes; or that the wives take a pride in their patience. But this never fails, if the bad husbands were of their own choosing, against their friends’ consent; for then they will be sure to make good their own folly. I Carry Your Heart With Me by EE Cummings i carry your heart with me (i carry it in my heart) i am never without it (anywhere i go you go, my dear; and whatever is done by only me is your doing, my darling) i fear no fate (for you are my fate, my sweet) i want no world (for beautiful you are my world, my true) and it's you are whatever a moon has always meant and whatever a sun will always sing is you here is the deepest secret nobody knows (here is the root of the root and the bud of the bud and the sky of the sky of a tree called life; which grows higher than soul can hope or mind can hide) and this is the wonder that's keeping the stars apart i carry your heart (i carry it in my heart Analysis of Cummings’s “I Carry Your Heart with Me” Cummings’s “I Carry Your Heart with Me” is one of the most prominent love poems of modern times, first published in 1952. It is evident from this poem that Cummings had a soft spot for topics having to do with love. The speaker in the poem is completely in love with his significant other and says that their relationship is nothing like others. The poem relates to not just two lovers, but to any relationship. In the first part of the poem, the speaker claims that whatever he does, he does it for his lover, that his lover is with him always, and that he is always thinking about his lover. Cummings exaggerates the way the speaker loves his significant other. In the second stanza, the speaker says that the only thing that scares him is losing his lover, that his lover is his everything, and that he hopes his lover never changes and their love never changes as well. Cummings is directly saying that the speaker’s significant other is his fate and his world. He further uses personification to depict the sun and moon’s actions to create a greater image of the love the speaker has. In the third stanza, Cummings shows that people are afraid to commit to a relationship and this hinders the ability of love to shine and blossom. Cummings here uses symbolism and hyperbole. The roots and buds represent the problems people have with falling in love. The hyperbole is the issue with falling in love and relationship that is compared to the wonder that keeps stars apart which draws attention to why love is so scary in the world. In the last line, repetition is used to continue the idea of the love the speaker has. Cummings uses first person to make the poem more personal and sentimental. uploads/Geographie/ guide 55 .pdf
