The Romantic Period
People were more free. When this happend beauty and art made the world more of an artistic world. People also tried to make life easier, by just being them and not worrying so much this reminds me of hippies!
In 1886 the statue of liberty was shown. The statue of liberty was a gift from the french. It was located at Bedloes island ( later liberty island) in New York Harbor. Auguste Batholdi designed it with help from Gustave Eiffle. In 1880 the Eiffle Tower was completed. It's located in Chanp de Mars, Paris. It was built by Gustave Eiffel; and today it has two restaurants in it. People didnt have simple mind sets. This era showed that people thought outside of the box rather then staying normal. I thought this was a very fun era.
After reading the events i really thought that so many great things were happening. People seem to show a new way of life by expressing the way they felt and seen things through art. When you say "normal" it makes my mind wonder???I mean i can't really say...Life for normal people may have just been fine because they didn't have much to worry about. just like the other person.
A Widow Bird Sate Mourning For Her Love
A widow bird sate mourning for her LoveUpon a wintry bough;The frozen wind crept on above,The freezing stream below.There was no leaf upon the forest bare,No flower upon the ground,And little motion in the airExcept the mill-wheel's sound. Percy Bysshe Shelley
Bright Star
Bright star, would I were stedfast as thou art-- Not in lone splendour hung aloft the nightAnd watching, with eternal lids apart,Like nature's patient, sleepless Eremite,The moving waters at their priestlike taskOf pure ablution round earth's human shores,Or gazing on the new soft-fallen maskOf snow upon the mountains and the moors--No--yet still stedfast, still unchangeable,Pillow'd upon my fair love's ripening breast,To feel for ever its soft fall and swell,Awake for ever in a sweet unrest,Still, still to hear her tender-taken breath,And so live ever--or else swoon to death. John Keats
* In this poem he is saying that he wish he was a star. During this time people really thought outside of the box and when you do that, you make other things come to life! This poem really had me going and by me looking at two opinions i understood that, when reading any poem you can't just stay in a simple mind set.
THE SICK ROSE
by: William Blake (1757-1827)
ROSE, thou art sick!
The invisible worm,
That flies in the night,
In the howling storm,
Has found out thy bed
Of crimson joy;
And his dark secret love
Does thy life destroy.
*This poem is about innocence being corrupted... it is about lust... evil deeds. That's what i get from it i think i'm right! and i really like this poem!
