poems can be studied with this contextual consideration. This perception is particularly reverberated in Tintern Abbey‚ where he says with great devotion: “...And I have felt A presence that disturbs me with the joy Of elevated thoughts; a sense sublime Of something for more deeply infused‚ Whose dwelling is the light of the setting suns‚ And the round ocean and the living air‚ And the blue sky‚ and in the mind of man:” He finds the existence of god even in the mind of man.

Gothic Elements in "The Fall of the House of Usher" Edgar Allan Poe is one of the utmost interesting writers in America. He stands out with his use of morbid gothic themes of nightmare‚ death‚ crime‚ evil‚ lingering on violence‚ murder‚ mystery‚ and insanity. “The Fall of the House of Usher” is a great example piece of the use about gothic elements.

Et Nox Facta Est Within the writings of the author Victor Hugo‚ I see a theme of what I would compare to a tragedy. There is such heavy emotion put into this work. Throughout the work of Est Nox Facta Est‚ there are many themes of darkness‚ and struggle within the life of whom this is written about‚ wether it is fiction or based off of a real life event.

bagatelles‚ one day‚ I could look around and find myself surrounded by cerulean sky and pacific clouds‚ no longer bound to the confines of the big top‚ free of the constraints of quotidian details. Each space between the trapezes is a heartbeat moment of sublime possibility‚ when the wind threatens to veer sharply‚ when the sheer number of futures I could experience threatens to overwhelm my solitary present.
