REFLECTION by MARY FAITH ANGELES

I WANDERED LONELY AS A CLOUD

I wandered lonely as a cloud is a poem written by Sir Wordsworth. This poem inspires me to realize the presence of nature that we usually take for granted because of keeping busy in our daily lives. Sir Wordsworth took focus on the nature that surrounds us, how he compared himself to a cloud wandering lonely. He noticed the beautiful flowers around him and appreciated the good sight unto him. I just realized that even how busy our daily lives can be, we should not take for granted every single day that God showers us. Everything we have around is a blessing that we should be thankful and we have to nurture. Besides, we owe everything that we have to him. He is just the best friend that we could ever have.

LINES WRITTEN IN EARLY SPRING

This poem is another masterpiece of Sir Wordsworth. A poem about nature, which is the focus of his poems. this one also has the same story. He made this  out of appreciation of nature and how man forgets to take a glance of what surrounds us. This made him realize that men has been so busy with their lives and that where a man right now is where he chose to be. We make our destiny and whether we suffer or not, it is or choice.

PARADISE LOST

For me, this story implies the enormous role of controlling temptation. It portrays the character of humans who are weak to temptation and seduction. Thus, this work of John Milton is eye opener, that everyone of us should realize that those temptations that we encounter everyday is just a challenge from God to see our strength and weakness, hope and faith, as well as our love fro Him. Even though God gives us trials that we thought we can't handle, still he is behind us guiding our way.

THE CHAMBERED NAUTILUS

This work was a bit hard for me to understand because of the style that the author used. It's very deep and seems like while he was writing this, he has something so deep in his mind that made him do this. I think he is confused of the stuffs going on around him, yet he did not forget to appreciate the beauty around him.
