A Utopian Farmhouse

The simplistic perfection that Jonson describes in Penshurst reminds me of Utopia in a way. Instead of praising worldly appealing aspects such as a "roof of gold" or or "polished pillars" the speakers describes a more natural beauty-

"Thou joy'st in better marks, of soil, of air,
Of wood, of water; therin thou art fair.
Thou hast thy walks for health, as well as sport;" (7-10)

Ok. Really short and not-so-profound. But I like this blog thing. I think I shall keep it up through my last two years in the English program. It keeps me accountable to make sure I read the assignments...
