Fear no more - William Shakespeare

This is a poem by William Shakespeare which gives message that do not fear of anything. Poet gives many examples of difficulties and says not to fear of anything.

Poet starts with the example of heat of the sun. Poet says do not fear of heat of the sun, not by furious winter's rages. These are metaphors for different kinds of difficulties. Though home is lost, do not fear because all of us will be died Like chimney sweeper all will be turned into dust. Do not fear of anger of power. Do not worry about food and cloth. You are like oak tree. All on this earth follow one rule. All will come to dust. Do not fear by thunder strokes, do not fear of people who talk bad about us or blame us. All lovers also will die. Do not fear if witches and ghost also. Death is just renovation of life.

So, in whole poem poet gives message that do not fear of anything.

To the Indians who died in South Africa - T.S. Eliot

A man's destination is his own village,  His own fire, and his wife's cooking;  To sit in front of his own door at sunset  And see his grandson, and his neighbour's grandson  Playing in the dust together.  Scarred but secure, he has many memories  Which return at the hour of conversation,  (The warm or the cool hour, according to the climate)  Of foreign men, who fought in foreign places,  Foreign to each other.  A man's destination is not his destiny,  Every country is home to one man  And exile to another. Where a man dies bravely  At one with his destiny, that soil is his.  Let his village remember.  This was not your land, or ours: but a village in the Midlands,  And one in the Five Rivers, may have the same graveyard.  Let those who go home tell the same story of you:  Of action with a common purpose, action  None the less fruitful if neither you nor we  Know, until the judgement after death,  What is the fruit of action.  This poem is by T.S

Joy and woe woven are fine - William Blake

Woven means things which are attached to each other. Both happiness and grief are fine. They are cloths of our soul. In every grief, there are also joy we need to find it. We are not here for only happiness or for only pain. But we are made for both. And when we know that joy and woe both are part of our life, we can live happily in grief also. So, in this poem poet wants to tell that accept both joy and pain. Do not become unhappy when sad moments come, there are always happy moments also. Know that both are part of everyone's life and live happily. That is all poet wants to say in the poem.
