A Passage to India: Unveiling the Complexities of Race, Colonialism, and Human Connections
E. M. Forster |
Every novel deals with relationships-emotional, intellectual and spiritual-and Forster’s A Passage to India is no exception. Yet, it is unique, and its uniqueness lies in the fact that the novel is concerned less with individual relationship than with race-relationship, and that it subsumes the entire gamut of human interests, ranging from the political and the ethnic to the emotional, the intellectual and the spiritual. Sometimes it is also assumed as a clash between two fundamentally different cultures, those of East and West. Although Forster himself declared that ‘the book is not really about politics’ (three countries), leading many critics to opine that the book is about man trying to understand the universe, that is, a book on ontology and cosmogony, one must also bear in mind Forester’s later declaration that ‘the political side was an aspect I wanted to express’. Being himself a liberal who lived in India and was upset at the arrogant and patronizing attitude of the British bureaucracy in Indian colony, Forster decided to present through fiction a colonial encounter which would not merely be restricted to the strictly political but extend to the effective and the cerebral the sexual and spiritual.

Wordsworth's Profound Relationship with Nature: Unveiling the Essence of Romantic Poetry
Wordsworth's Poetic Vision: Nature's Divine Influence on the Human Soul
- The source of poetic truth is the direct experience of the senses originates in nature. Poetry, according to him, originates from “emotion recollected in tranquility” rejecting the contemporary emphasis on form and an intellectual approach that drained poetic writing.
- Wordsworth believed that the company of nature gives joy to the human heart. Nature can exercise a healing influence on sorrow stricken hearts, because the same divine spirit that pervades nature, also dwells in man.
- The scenes and events of everyday life and the speech of ordinary people which is nature in earthly sphere were the raw material of which poetry could and should be made. The passion for simplification and for a return to nature as a refuge from the artificial complexities of society inspired the Lyrical Ballads.
- Wordsworth's easy flow of conversational blank verse has true lyrical power and grace, and his finest work is permeated by a sense of the human relationship to external nature that is religious in its scope and intensity.
- To Wordsworth, God was everywhere manifest in the harmony of nature, and he felt deeply the kinship between nature and the soul of humankind.
- He believed in the moral influence of nature. He regarded it as the great moral teacher of man. According to him, those who grow up in the lap of nature are perfect in every aspect. This belief is well expressed in his Lucy poems.
- Wordsworth, being the greatest poets of the romantic revival, strives to capture and convey the influence of nature on the mind and of the mind on nature interpenetrating one another.

Analysis of William Wordsworth's Ode: Intimations of Immortality from Recollections of Early Childhood
The Soul that rises with us, our life's Star,
Hath had elsewhere its setting,
And cometh from afar:
Not in entire forgetfulness,
And not in utter nakedness,
But trailing clouds of glory do we come
From God, who is our home."
