A Living God by Patrick Lafcadio Hearn (Koizumi Yakumo)
A Living God story illustrates a crucial event in the life of Goryo Hamaguchi (1820-1885), the current Yamasa Corporation's owner, who stood firm on numerous important political and regulatory footings in Japan. In 1854, Hamaguchi rescued many lives in Hirogawa, Wakayama, when a massive tidal wave wreaked havoc on the promontory. Following the wave, Hamaguchi used his own money to construct a 600-meter defensive barrier with a width of 20 metres and a level of five metres, limiting the damage caused by subsequent tidal waves. He, too, worked in the field of training and established a secure foundation for learning Japanese fencing and Chinese painting. According to Shintoism, the traditional Japanese faith, kami, or sanctified spirits, manifest themselves as life-giving elements such as wind, rain, mountains, trees, and so on. People are also adored as kami and are cherished when they pass away. The accompanying story informs us about one such man, Goryo Hamaguchi, who became a living God as a result of his acts of kindness.   Ishikari Lore by Kevin MacLeod is licensed under a Creative Commons Attribution 4.0 licence.  https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/  Source: http://incompetech.com/music/royalty-free/index.html?isrc=USUAN1100192  Artist: http://incompetech.com/

THE EDUCATION OF NATURE (THREE YEARS SHE GREW) by WILLIAM WORDSWORTH
WILLIAM WORDSWORH’s Lucy Poems are a collection of five poems composed in Germany between 1798 and 1801. Long has been discussed whether Lucy was a real woman or a fragment of the poet’s imagination. Wordsworth never revealed her true identify or upbringing. ‘Education of Nature’ is one of the ‘Lucy poems.’ Nature provided Wordsworth with inspiration and spirituality. In this poetry, Nature adopts Lucy as her kid and decides to raise her under her care. Lucy, dies suddenly, leaving the poet sad. Nature has a special place in this poem since she is both beautiful and generous. The poem becomes a magnificent elegy addressed to a deceased woman whom Wordsworth admired not only for her beauty, but also for her connection to nature, which he thought as a great achievement. According to the poet, nature has an ennobling and spiritual capacity to guide humanity, as proven by this poem.

DESIDERATA – A Didactic Poem by Max Ehrmann
MAX EHRMANN Was an American poet who wrote this didactic poem that is an instructional poem, called DESIDERATA which means in Latin something that is needed or desired. The poem is in the prose format therefore it is called a prose poem and this poem has a very interesting history. MAX EHRMANN was mostly unknown for all his lifetime but this particular poem made him very popular; and he is known even today for his poem DESIDERATA. He wrote this poem in 1920 but he didn’t publish it… most probably because he wrote this poem for his daughter. Later on in 1927, he thought of copywriting it; and so, the poem was copyrighted in 1927. Still the poem didn’t have any fame as it didn’t reach unto the readers. In the Christmas of 1933, he printed this poem on Christmas cards and he distributed those cards among his friends, family and acquaintances but he did not mention the Copyright notice regarding this poem on those cards and therefore he had to lose his Copyright. Many people distributed the unattributed copies everywhere which means MAX EHRMANN was not credited for his work in those copies. He died in 1945 and after his death his wife published his poems in a book entitled THE POEMS of MAX EHRMANN In 1948. Even after the publication of this book nearly 200 unattributed copies of desiderata were distributed in a church in 1959.
