Morihei Ueshiba's View On Love

Ever since the beginning of time, love has played an enormous role among humans. Everyone feels a need to love and to be loved. Some attempt to fill this yearning with activities and possessions that will not satisfy – with activities in which they should not participate and possessions they should not own. In Andrew Marvell’s poem, “To His Coy Mistress,” the speaker encounters an emotion some would call love but fits better under the designation of lust for a woman. In contrast, the speaker of Robert Herrick’s poem, “To the Virgins, to Make Much of Time,” urges virgins to marry, to make a lasting commitment in which love plays a

The author persuades people to use their head before just using the words heart or love to give the word its true meaning. Carruth also displays what happens to words when they tend to be misused which is that they usually lose their value over time if they are not of great importance. Through his writing style in the poem, Carruth shows how people freely use the word “heart” and how it affects the meaning of the word. He opens and closes the poem with a question, refers to the heart as 'it' in the first stanza, and shows uncertainty of the importance of the heart in the first stanza as well.

“The Power of Love is stronger than anything” In William Goldman‘s The Princess Bride film, the character Westley shows the importance of kindness when individuals attempt to shape their destiny. He shows how making a commitment requires sacrifice and the ability to show kindness towards others, which can lead to achieving goals, and when an individual attempts to shape their destiny they often respond by the need to commit sacrifices and achievements. The Princess Bride is a tale of love, adventure, and fantasy starring the character Westley in the lead who needs to protect his love from an unwanted marriage from the prince.

“Love Poem” by John Frederick Nims is an excellent of example of an author using many types of literary terms to emphasize his theme of a love that is imperfect yet filled with acceptance. In, this poem Nims uses assonance, metaphor, and imagery to support his theme of “Imperfect, yet realistic love”.

Love tends to be the topic of many poetic literary works, whether it be the joys that come with it or the pains suffered because of it, but what can be made of the love that results in both? In the poem, “For He Looked Not upon Her,” George Gascoigne already makes that message clear through his title: sometimes, there is reason not to desire what we can not help but long for. When his audience reads the work, they are meant to discover that reason behind why “He” would not look upon “Her”. Through the speaker’s form, diction, and imagery that he utilizes in the poem, it becomes clear that his tone towards love is wary, yet also conflictingly longing.

In the fifth stanza Becquer extends the time to the human emotions. He says that words of love will return and that in fact they will sound in the ear of the woman he loved. The ardent words will awaken her and even generate new feelings. But the speaker convinces us that the kind of love he gave her lover is beyond the cycle of nature and even her emotions and feeling. And by using the anaphora "by those", the writer help us to understand the condition that his love is beyond that cycle. In fact, the sixth stanza warns the lady not to fool herself because the love the speaker felt for her is not ruled by the temporary cycles that rule the nature. His love was idolatry. It's beyond nature. The repetition "those…will not return" that the poet uses in almost all the stanzas helps to support this idea.

6. The theme of this poem is about love but particularly the expression of love. The speaker can seem cruel to someone who does not understand him or what he is trying to say but he is expressing his love to his mistress and him knowing his true intentions is all that matters. The speaker expresses his love towards his mistress in the way that he wants or feels most comfortable with. The purpose of the poem is to show that love can be expressed in many ways because there is no specific way to do it.

Such incorporation is also reminiscent of English Romanticism, especially ones that highlight fear as well as passion. Several Romantic works, such as Samuel Taylor Coleridge’s “Lamia” and John Keats’ “La Belle Dame Sans Merci”, exhibit this. This, in turn, draws its roots from continental European Romanticism.

One of the overarching themes that spanned over the many books we read over the semester, was the nature of love and the search for meaning. Love is an inherent aspect of humanity, and while it is an often inexplicable and complex sentiment, it is intrinsically connected with mankind's search for meaning in life. Love often leads a person in directions that they do not expect, and this is obvious in the very different applications of love in different books. However, one common idea about the relationship between love, suffering, and wisdom, can be argued for based off the ancient texts that we read. In The Epic of Gilgamesh, Antigone, and The Tale of Genji, love is used as a vehicle for wisdom through suffering and loss.

In the first quatrain of the poem, the author communicates to the reader that he has two loves, one of which is “comfort” and “despair” (1). The word “comfort” shows that the person is loving while the word “despair” shows that the other person is not loving. The speaker’s first love is a man who is described as “better angel” and “right fair” (3). I think the speaker used the words “better angel” because it shows purity and he used the words “right fair” to describe how beautiful the man is. His second love is the opposite, she is described as “worser spirit” and “colored-ill” (4). I think the speaker used the words “worser spirit” because it shows the readers that the lady is evil and unpleasant, he also used “colored-ill” to describe the

The third and fourth stanzas offer the poems greatest paradoxes. The author speaks of the lovers being "At this unique distance from isolation" which is to say they are in the one place where they can truly be themselves, in their natural habitat, doing that which is only natural to human instinct. Despite these circumstances, however, the two are at a loss: "It becomes still more difficult to find / Words at once true and kind, / Or not untrue and not unkind." It is through this final stanza that the author conveys the ultimate paradox of human relationships: Relationships are not built upon true love for one another; rather they are built upon the absence of hatred.

This makes it so the lover is always with them. Whatever the speaker does, the lover does as well because of their unique unity. The speaker does not fear fate because the lover is their fate, and the speaker does not want a world because the lover is their world. The lover is and means everything to

In the first few lines of the poem, the reader can already receive a feel of the irony as the poet describes the scene of a maiden left behind as her lover falls in battle. The poet illustrates a scene as to where most readers would feel sorrow and sympathy towards the maiden and perhaps have the speaker in the poem enlighten the

The couplet of this sonnet renews the speaker's wish for their love, urging her to "love well" which he must soon leave. But after the third quatrain, the speaker applauds his lover for having courage and adoration to remain faithful to him. The rhyme couplet suggests the unconditional love between the speaker and his

“A Valediction: Forbidding Mourning,” by John Donne explores love through the ideas of assurance and separation. Donne uses vivid imagery to impart his moral themes on his audience. A truer, more refined love, Donne explains comes from a connection at the mind, the joining of two souls as one. Physical presence is irrelevant if a true marriage of the minds has occurred, joining a pair of lovers’ souls eternally.
