Augustines Confessions
... (II,4) that
“For I stole a thing of which I had plenty
of my own and much better quality. Nor did

The two seem destined to ...

It is through, not only the battle scenes that are quite vivid, but also the way the accouterments of battle receive high mention within the poem that this is accomplished. At the start of a battle the author gives the number of forces on each side, while during the individual fights amongst the peers, he gives detailed blow-for-blow descriptions of what occurred. Also, throughout the body of the work the warriors, no matter which side they are on, have significant names for their weapons and war-horses. This hold ...

Berkeley's Theory Of Immaterialism
... from the senses. In opposition, the rationalists maintained that knowledge comes purely from deduction, and that this knowledge is processed by certain innate schema in the mind.

The main figure who believed that material substance did not exist is George Berkeley. In truth, it is the immaterialist p ...

In ³The Tuft of Flowers,² the speaker has gone out to turn the grass.
Whoever did the mowing is already gone, for there are no signs of his

chose to leave intact. The patch of beauty left by his fellow worker
causes the speaker to feel that he is no longer alone. There is a sense ...
