When I was first asked to give a talk on mothers‚ since it would be mother’s day. I started wondering how Mother’s Day came to be. I was surprised to discover that Mother’s Day has a history longer than Christianity! Ancients celebrated Isis (Mother of the Pharaohs)‚ Rhea (Greek Mother of the Gods)‚ and Cybele (The Great Mother).

Futility ~ Wilfred Owen Move him into the sun - Gently its touch awoke him once‚ At home‚ whispering of fields unsown. Always it woke him‚ even in France‚ Until this morning and this snow. If anything might rouse him now the kind old sun will know. Think how it wakes the seeds‚ - Woke‚ once‚ the clays of a cold star.

of the soul. Though penned some eighty years ago‚ the poetry of Thomas Hardy remains remarkably accessible and identifiable to a modern reader. While some critic’s claim that his poetic writing is archaise. His language elegant but awkward and his work difficult to comprehend‚ I enjoyed the poetry of Hardy for its diversity of themes‚ its earthly realism and his descriptive and metaphorical language.
