How does a Poet Put Bread on the Table

Adrienne Rich refers in his article that how does a poet put bread on the table? Rarely, if ever, by poetry alone. Of other poet I know,most teach,often part-time, without security but year round. Inherited wealth accounts for the careers of some poets: to inherit wealth is to inherit time. That means that poetry can not provide too much wealth for poet’s living. Even these realities stand before poets, they still try their best to spare time into literary creation to gain inner satisfaction. In order to pursue the pure inspiration, many poets choose to work less. Less labour ensures there is no interruption to put out their flicker. Rich says that often such time fees like a luxury, guiltily seized when it can be had, fearfully taken because it does not seem like work, his abeyance, but like “wasting time” in a society where personal importance can hinge acting busy, where the phrase “keeping busy” is a common idiom. The creation of poetry requires for free time to swim...

The Permanent Dilemma: Poetry or Living ?

According to Darwin’s Evolution Theory, the conclusion can be drawn that human belongs to the category of animal. They have desires to struggle for food, clothes, and living space. But, no one will denies that human is difference with animals. Human beings can far surpass other animals, because human have the following characteristics: First, human beings are capable to create and use tools and use them to product goods; Second, human beings use their agency and imagination to engage in creative activities; Third, they are social animal, living and working together; Fourth, people have unique physiological structure, like their brain and some nervous systems.

With creative ability, they create a civilian world, in which they escape from the confinement of universe to lead a free life. In the poem The road not taken, there are two roads. ...

Common Glasses Problems and Solutions

My glasses constantly slide and slip. This is a very common problem and is usually due to either worn out frames, a poor lens/frame match in which the lens is to heavy for the frame, or poor frame match for your facial anatomy. Keep in mind too that the back of the ears and sides of the nose are rich in sweat glands which can cause them to slip and slide. Depending upon the reason, several things can be done. A headband might be necessary for heavy glasses when working out in the hot sun. Also, increasing temple support can help greatly. The frames can often be tightened and nose pads added. Worn out frames and delicate frames may need adjusting on a regular basis, and we are happy to provide that service free of charge. Remember too that in the case of plastic frames, being out in the hot sun will cause the frame to stretch out if it’s too large for your face. When all else fails, a new properly fitted feather-weight frame will solve the problem. 2.When I read through my bifoc...

The red and lonely flower stands in a vat wild, with the setting sun pouring on her. This scenery gives me a kinds of feeling out of my expression. it is depressed or reverence?

Four Factors to Choosing Eyeglass Frames

You don’t need to be a fashion expert to find eyeglass frames that look great on you. Eyeconic makes finding the right frames simple. Use the following four tips to find the frames that work best for your style. 1. Face Shape Is your face round, oval, square, diamond or heart-shaped? The shape of your face will help you determine which frames enhance your look. Round Face:  Eyeglass frames that are square or rectangular tend to be wider than a round face. This quality can enhance your face by making it appear slimmer and longer, adding balance to your round features. Frames to Avoid:  Rimless frames, round frames and small frames will accentuate the roundness, making your round face look even rounder. Oval Face:  Frames that suit an oval face have a strong bridge, are wider than the broadest part of the face and are geometric in shape. Frames to Avoid:  Eyeglasses that are overlarge and cover up more than half of your face will throw off the natural balance a...

The Dilemma in life: the road not taken

today, I want to share  my favorite poem the Road not Taken and my own feelings about this poem to you.         TWO roads diverged in a yellow wood,   And sorry I could not travel both    And be one traveler, long I stood   And looked down one as far as I could   To where it bent in the undergrowth;   Then took the other, as just as fair,   And having perhaps the better claim,   Because it was grassy and wanted wear;   Had worn them really about the same,   Though as for that the passing there   And both that morning equally lay   In leaves no step had trodden black.   Oh, I kept the first for another day!   Yet knowing how way leads on to way,   I doubted if I should ever come back   I shall be telling this with a sigh   Somewhere ages and ages hence:   Two roads diverged in a wood, and I——   I took the one less traveled by,   And that has made all the difference Facing the crossroad of life, everyone will feel it is hard to make de...

How to Choose Frames for Eyeglasses

Metal Frame It is relatively thin, easily become bent or deformed. The metal can cause skin irritation when sweating and the sweat may corrode the metal surface. Distance between the frame and the face is farther. Most frames have nose pads, which can be adjusted according to the height of the bridge of the nose. Plastic Frame It is relatively thick, not easily bent or deformed. It fits students with excessive sweating as skin irritation seldom results from plastics. The frame is relatively close to the face. Most frames are without nose pads and the bridge supports the frame directly with little room for adjustment. Points to Note When Choosing Eyeglasses Frames: Severity of refractive errors: Students with severe refractive errors may choose plastic frames as they are thick enough to cover the edge of the thick lenses for a better look. Width of the face: The size of the frames should match the size of the face and the head. The larger the frames, the bigger and heavie...

Positive energy philosophy

I would rather be disgusted by myself, and I would not pretend to be in order to cater to others. People who know you will stay, people who don’t understand you, and you will not ask. Because others are not happy, it is better to live more freely for themselves. 2, cut off your own way back, in order to better win the way out. Many times, we all need a courage to cut off our own way back. Because there is a retreat behind him, you will be lucky and comfortable, and there will be no way out behind you to win a way out for yourself. Good, good morning! The most difficult thing for people to control is not others, but themselves. To learn to be confident and not to be proud, decisive and not arbitrary, self-respect and not conceited, rigorous and unconstrained, contented and unsatisfied, usually not mediocre, easygoing and not casual, relaxed and not indulgent, serious and not true. 4, instead of escaping from reality, it is better to laugh at life. No matter how far the road, yo...

Believe it or not, there are many things you can do with old glasses. Recycle them. Pop out the glass lenses and put them in a glass recycling bin.
