Task I need you to do an outline for the Argumentative essay comparing these two poems The Three Kingston of Nature and INTIMATE ASSOCIATIONS THE THREE KINGDOMS OF NATURE While drinking all at once I saw Why nature s made of three realms Animals and people both drink and love Each according to its urges The dolphin and eagle the flea and the dog Experience affection and use their mouths So whatever can drink and love both Those in the first kingdom have their place Vegetation then makes up the second realm That falls far short of the higher one Leaves have no love but they can drink When the dripping clouds sink low The cedar drinks the clover drinks the grapevine and the aloe tree So whatever drinks but cannot love Those in the second kingdom all belong The kingdom of stones makes up the third Diamonds we have and also gravel Stones feel no thirst no tender urges a stone grows without rain or love Well then whatever can neither drink nor love those in the third kingdom have their place And human tell me if you have neither love nor wine what are you A stone GOTTHOLD LESSING 1753 adapted by Robert Bly from the translation of Alfred Baskerville 18 INTIMATE ASSOCIATIONS The natural world is a spiritual house where the pillars that are alive let slip at times some strangely garbled words Man walks there through forests of physical things that are also spiritual things that watch him with affectionate looks As the echoes of great bells coming from a long way off become entangled in a deep and profound association a merging as huge as night or as huge as clear light odors and colors and sounds all mean each other Perfumes exist that are cool as the flesh of infants fragile as oboes green as open fields and others exist also corrupt dense and triumphant having the suggestions of infinite things such as musk and amber myrrh and incense that describe the voyages of the body and soul CHARLES BAUDELAIRE 1856 translated by Robert Bly
