In my country, most elderly people dote on their children; on the contrary, my grandfather was an unusual person. He didn't like talking and he lived alone. Seldom did he care for his children. When they had their own family, I thought my grandfather did not like his grandchildren. However, my idea totally changed after one event. When I was 7-years old, my grandfather presented me with a couple of Holland Lop rabbits. When we raised the rabbits together, I found not only my grandfather's wisdom and patience, but also the love between us. It was the Chinese spring festival, the household would celebrate together and the older generation would generally give some gifts to the younger. Instead of the lucky money, which was a very normal gift in my eyes, my grandfather presented two Holland Lop rabbits to me. I was so surprised and extremely happy. My grandfather said, "When I first saw them, I thought of you. I knew you would like them because of their super small size and their natural gentle disposition." Admittedly, I liked the rabbits very much. They had black eyes and small ears. One of the rabbits was white and brown, another was grey. I was curious about why they were called Lop rabbits. My grandfather told me that their ears would grow downward, and the weight of these kind of rabbits was between 2 to 2.5 kg. For the next several days, we raised the rabbits together and I found that my grandfather was a patient and careful person. We bought a large rabbit cage and he advised me to put a hay ball in it, with which rabbits could play. Also, we kept the cage dry and healthy. My grandfather said that could prevent bacteria. What's more, we fed the mineral water to the rabbits and my grandfather also prepared some Timothy hay and rabbit food for them. I asked my grandfather if we should feed vegetables to the rabbits. He rejected my suggestion because of the danger of enteritis. During a sunny day, we also took the rabbits for a walk. However, not every day is a sunny day. One of my rabbits died, so I was very disappointed. The reason was that I had fed it too much but the rabbits did not feel full, so they kept eating. I cried and I buried it under the trees. My grandfather comforted me, "Maybe we loved it so much that we lost it." I was still confused about these words until he explained calmly, "If I talk too much, my child will think I'm nagging. If I live with my child, they will think I'm a trouble. Therefore, I speak little and live far." Suddenly, I wanted to give my grandfather a hug and I told him I loved him. From raising rabbits with my grandfather, I understood how much love was in my grandfather's heart. He preferred to live alone rather than being meddled in the lives of his children. He preferred to have a boring life than to tell us about his unhappiness. I know he loved us deeply. The most valuable memory was not those Holland Lop rabbits, which my grandfather had given me, but the period of raising rabbits with him.I thoroughly realized the wisdom, patience and love of my grandfather.

Lowell And Longfellow

...The poems are written by Lowell and Longfellow after they both have tragically lost a loved one. The theme of these poems are grief, death, and loss. Grief is shown in “The First Snowfall” when Lowell states “Flake by flake, healing and hiding/The scar of our deep-plunged woe.” (Lowell 31-32) Lowell is dealing with the death of his daughter and is still deeply scarred by her death, as he will be forever. Longfellow is dealing with the tragic death of his wife. In “The Cross of Snow,” grief is shown when Longfellow says “In the long, sleepless watches of the night,/ A gentle face--the face of one long dead--/Looks at me from the wall, where round its head/ The night-lamp casts a halo of pale light./ Here in this room she died, and soul more white.” (Longfellow 1-5) Longfellow is kept awake with the never-ending feeling of grief and the thought of his wife’s death. He will always remember where she died, and his soul will never be at rest. Lowell and Longfellow use the nature of snow as having healing powers. At the ends of both poems the snow symbolizes eternal love. “The First Snowfall” uses the first snowfall of the season and “The Cross of Snow” uses snow that has settled deep in the ravines in the sides of a mountain. The snow forms a natural cross in the snow that can be seen from afar when the sun shines upon the mountain a certain...

Tone Of Shakespeare Sonnet 130

...comparative language to portray the idea that his love for his mistress is rare even though her physical looks aren’t the best in the world. In sonnet 130, Shakespeare uses a tone of criticism to show that her physical beauty may not be the best but he still loves her. For example, in the second quatrain it says, “ And in some perfumes is there more delight, / Than in her breath that from my mistress reeks.” (lines 7-8). The speaker finds himself insecure because he says things like that to describe her true beauty and to prove that he still loves her. In the third quatrain the speaker says, “ I love to hear her speak, yet well I know, / That music hath a far more pleasing sound:” (lines 9-10). Shakespeare is saying that compared to her speaking music has a better sound but he still likes to hear her talk. Shakespeare writes this to point out that real beauty is on the inside not the outside....

There is a lot of love between Romeo and Juliet in the play by William Shakespeare. Two young people fall in love but they have families that have been feuding for years.

Romeo And Juliet Unrequited Love Research Paper

...Love is usually described by the public as a feeling of warm, personal attachment or deep affection, commonly related to a parent, child, or friend. Love can bring two people together in a scene where it is them against the world, but it has also torn people to such an extent where their emotions are left like shredded up confetti. This can leave one believing in ridiculous and painful thoughts such as ‘Was it all a lie,’ or even thinking about themselves as unlovable. These two kinds of love can be identified as romantic love and its undesired counterpart, unrequited love. I find it ironic how love can be as romantic as writing beautiful poems under the stars and then crying yourself to sleep because your admirer “just don’t love you that way.”These two feelings of deep affection contradict each other in terms of reciprocation, but both can and have lead to chaos in stories, such as in Romeo and Juliet by William Shakespeare....

Love in Music of Then and Now

...Love in Music of Then and Now During the 11th and 13th centuries during a period known as the Middle Ages a new breed of poets emerged in the south of France. Known as the Troubadours, these poets roamed the land turning their poetry into art by adding an accompaniment of musical instruments. These lyricists wrote their music in the vernacular of Southern France, French, but also included hints of Spanish and Italian from the nearby countries. These storytellers captivated the audiences with their many poems of love and romance. Even though the Middle Ages may have ended eight centuries ago, the content and romance found within the songs still flourishes today in modern songs. The themes and feelings of love have not changed with the advancement in musical technology, this is apparent in the song by Billy Currington Must Be Doin' Somethin' Right. Within this song there are many similarities along with a few differences in his experience with love with that of the Troubadour artist Bernard de Ventadour and his composition of When the Fresh Grass. In the song Must Be Doin' Somthin' Right by Billy Currington he is telling about the feelings and images of love and the woman. He talks about how women are complex and don’t actually know what they want with a man, but, once you find out what they want there are many ways to tell that they are starting to fall in love. It is the man's responsibility to touch upon these hints of love and start working with them in order to...

Essay On Self Love

...How Deep Is Your Self Love? By Jim Malloy Jun 4, 2008 One of the biggest lessons on the spiritual journey is learning to love unconditionally. However, what is often overlooked, is the importance of loving yourself along with everything else. After all, aren't you a part of the whole of Life? Here is a wonderful old haiku which illustrates this... "On my horse, clip-clopping through the field. Aha! I'm part of the picture!" As you grow to realize that you are an integral part of Life's grand picture, it becomes clear that loving yourself along with everything else is part of the mission. Some of you may feel uncomfortable with the idea of self love, because it's often interpreted as being overly self involved. Many religions teach that total selflessness is the ideal, and that self love is the antithesis of being selfless. I'm not at all knocking selflessness, but is self love really opposed to selflessness? And is it the same as...

Lust

...People have two major organs, the heart and the brain. When dealing with love, we have to follow your heart, because even though it’s on the left side of the body, it’s always right. However, people often make the mistake of confusing “lust” with “love”. We often think we are in love with something or someone we know we can never have, but it is just lust. What is love? Love has multiple meanings. Love is an intense feeling of deep affection. Love is a person or thing that one loves. Love is a feeling of a deep romantic or sexual attachment to someone. Love is also a four letter word that is constantly tossed around like a game. Someone will experience “real” love and be in love. However, there is a difference between lust and love. Webster defines love as an “attraction that includes sexual desire: the strong affection felt by people who have a romantic relationship.” 1 Corinthians 13 defines love as “and now abideth faith, hope, love, and these three: but the greatest of these is love.” Lust is something like being a friend, but we aren’t in a relationship. Lust is beyond a friend level, but less than a relationship. We often lust over superstars, because we can’t have celebrities. Lust can be friends with benefits. Lust is more of a physical attraction and has no lasting effect. Lust can be very selfish. “Passion, greed, covetousness, hatred, lust: these emotions dominate the soul, causing blindness and leading to...

Sexuality

...well as a physical connection. From the moment we are born we seek for a connection, a feeling of warmth from another individual “positive bonding is important from the cradle to the grave” (Balswick & Balswick, 2008). Intimacy whether sexual or non-sexual is established through a sense of “knowing” another individual, this happens through means of honest and deep communication. Christians seek a deeper connection with God through communication, they seek to feel intimate with God, to be known by their Heavenly Father; Psalms 139:23 says “Search me, O God, and know my heart! Try me and know my thoughts” there is deep desire in us to be known and sought even from the One who created us. Friendships are an intimate relationship; friendships were individuals feel comfortable to talk about their inner feelings and thoughts without the fear of being judged or without guilt and shame. According to Balswick and Balswick (2008) shame is the main barrier to a true intimate relationship. In the sexual context, a couple can experience a deeper level of sexual connection when they are emotionally connected and have a committed love for each other (Balswick & Balswick, 2008). Abstinence before marriage In today’s society sex has become such a commodity; it is something that is done...

A painted portrait possesses a life of its own that stems from deep within the painters’ soul and shows the raw soul of the sitter; portraits should allow you to see who the person truly is, its an embodiment.
