14 Darwinism - Nietzsche (nee-chee) “God is dead.” He wrote Thus Spake Zarathustra. Idea of new God – a man who is a Superman.

20 Romantic Authors and Musicians : poet who had works filled with a love for beauty and nature William Wordsworth: poet who had works filled with a love for beauty and nature THE DAFFODILS; OR, I WANDERED LONELY AS A CLOUD by: William Wordsworth (1770-1850) WANDERED lonely as a cloud That floats on high o'er vales and hills, When all at once I saw a crowd, A host, of golden daffodils; Beside the lake, beneath the trees, Fluttering and dancing in the breeze. Continuous as the stars that shine And twinkle on the milky way, They stretched in never-ending line Along the margin of the bay: Ten thousand saw I at a glance, Tossing their heads in sprightly dance. The waves beside them danced; but they Out-did the sparkling waves in glee A poet could not but be gay, In such a jocund company I gazed -- and gazed -- but little thought What wealth the show to me had brought: For oft, when on my couch I lie In vacant or in pensive mood, They flash upon that inward eye Which is the bliss of solitude; And then my heart with pleasure fills, And dances with the daffodils.
