It symbolizes the I-MY-ME and the cultures (if there is such a thing...) and the polity that has so profoundly influenced us all and impressed many but still the I-MY-ME are at odds with the impulses and desires of the times that have spawned us.
For Sunday Reading
In a span of little over a month I have moved over such a wide swathe of literature from Albert Camus's "The Stranger" to TS Eliot's "The Waste Land" and now to Henry David Thoreau "Walden". All of these works are such defining works of their respective genre that are guiding lighthouses of their philosophy and intellectual thought. From Camus's Existentialism to Eliot's Modernism to Walden's Transcendentalism. Each of them such comprehensive universe in themselves and often confusing interpretations and boundaries that makes them hard to define and even harder to understand. I will probably some day may have so much understanding to write about what these '-isms' mean. In the meanwhile you can read about them here. I found a nice timeline on the same site that I am copying below. Happy reading!
