The following essay was written
by Marie Gaines. q pupil of the lIth
grade:
aThanafopsis" Contrasted TO "a
Psalm Of Life"
AS we read that beautiful poem
Thapatopsis' we cannot help but
feel some solemnity and sentiment
that Bryant had while writing 1t.
1t teaches simply the beauties, life,
and divinity In nature. II tells us
that we may find countless pleasures
and gaieties in the beauties of nature.
II also tells that nature provides a
healing power for gloomy. dark, and
sad thoughts. In "Thanatopsis" the
story tells us to approach over grave
with brave and cheerful feeling, be-
cause then, we shall have a more
magnificent couch than kings ever
had during their days on earth. Here.
We all shall lie in the same bed that
kings, joets, and all great mel are
lying, ali covered with the same great
mound Of nature, decorated with the
great hills and stones and the beau
tiful green inhabitants OF the valley.
"Thanatopsis" seems to teach US that
we must look forward with no dis.
pleasure to the time when we shall
be laid in the tombs TO become part
OF nature again.
As we read Longieliow's psalm. of
Life" we seem to see everything full
of action and life, men going forth
TO fight their battles OF life. This
poem shows Us that we have many
and great things to achieve. Here It
Is not our achievement TO sit In sor-
rowful and n1ournful songc all the
day long but that we must be up and
ever ready to grasp opportunities ere
they have flown into the past and
speed on TO tho future by accomplish
ing our present tasks as they come.
In this Psalm of Life" We are led to
be active, and to.striye to achieve. and
pursue until It Is time for US to lie
down and rest after our succesSful
accomplishments.
