Edmund Spenser's 'the Faerie Queene', The Bower Of Bliss And The Garden Of Adonis

In Edmund Spenser's 'The Faerie Queene', Books 11 and 111 The Bower of Bliss and the Garden of Adonis might look similar from a distance; their geographical form is certainly similar, and the tour on which Spenser takes us seems to follow the same kind of route. But their ostensible similarity, and their juxtaposition in two adjacent books of 'The Faerie Queene' only serve to highlight their differences. The two gardens represent very different qualities of human life, and Spenser indicates the differences visually in his description of the gardens, verbally in the words he uses in these descriptions, and dramatically in the kinds of activity that take place in the gardens.

The first distinction to be made is between the proportion of Art to Nature that has gone into the construction of the gardens. The 'Bowre of Blisse' is introduced as:

'A place pickt out by choice of best alive,
That natures worke by art can imitate:' [11.X11.42]

Art itself is not condemned, but the use of art to stimulate wasteful unproductive lust. The artifice of the garden is admired for its skill, but condemned for being used to excess.

'And them amongst, some were of burnisht gold,
So made by art, to beautifie the rest,
. . . That the weake bowes, with so rich load opprest,
Did bow adowne, as over-burdened.' [11.X11.55]

The image of the vine bending under the weight of golden grapes illustrates how nature is distorted by artifice, just as human nature is distorted by entering the Bower of Bliss. Spenser's description of the golden ivy seems to anticipate Baroque sculpture and architecture in that it is more than an imitation of nature; it tries to supersede nature by exaggerating the most pleasing aspects. The result is an excess of sweetness to the point of sickliness. The stimulation of pleasurable sensations is almost pornographic, and Spenser ensures that we get the message by the use of the words 'lascivious' and 'wantones'.

'And over all, of purest gold was spred,
A trayle of yvie in his native hew:
For the rich mettall was so colored,
That wight, who did not well avis'd it view,
Would surely deeme it to be yvie trew:
Low his lascivious armes adown did creepe,
That themselves dipping in the silver dew,
Their fleecy flowres they tenderly did steepe,
Which drops of Christall seemed for wantones to weepe.' [11.X11.61]

A modern reader might not pick up the quality of excess implied in this description, but in fact Spenser takes pains to point out the excess. Art in the Bower of Bliss

'Was poured forth with plentifull dispence,
And made there to abound with lavish affluence.' [11.X11.42]

'Wherewith her mother Art, as halfe in scorne
Of niggard Nature, like a pompous bride
Did decke her, and too lavishly adorn' [11.X11.50]

The emphasis on excess is of course most relevant to the theme of Book 11: Temperance.

In contrast to the lavish glittering spectacle of the 'Bowre of Blisse', The 'Gardin of Adonis' comprises of natural goodness. 'It sited was in fruitfull soyle of old' [111.V1.31] and:

'In that same Gardin all the goodly flowres,
Wherewith dame Nature doth her beautifie,
And decks the girlonds of her paramoures,
Are fetcht:' [111.V1.30]

The arbour is 'of the trees owne inclination made' [111.V1.44]. This garden is free of artifice, and in emphasising its natural perfection Spenser likens it to Ovid's golden world:

'Ne needs there Gardiner to set, or sow,
To plant or prune: for of their owne accord
All things, as they created were, doe grow' [111.V1.34]

The quality of life represented by the Garden of Adonis is represented by 'Genius' who guards its gates. The Bower of Bliss was also guarded by a 'Genius', but not the real one. In keeping with another of Spenser's themes, appearance versus reality, the Genius of the Bower of Bliss is a fake

'That secretly doth us procure to fall,
Through guilefull semblaunts' [11.X11.48]

The Genius of the Garden of Adonis guards the gate through which old people enter and young babies leave, and the cycle of regeneration being represented has the same seemingly-paradoxical combination of transience and permanence as Spenser's Mutability Cantos [4]. The paradox is resolved by Platonism. While Time is the enemy of life in the garden:

'For all that lives, is subject to that law:
All things decay in time, and to their end to draw.' [111.V1.40]

It seems that the people, or perhaps just their souls, are recycled from old age to babyhood. And Adonis himself:

'All be he subject to mortalitie,
Yet is eterne in mutabilitie,
And by succession made perpetuall' [111.V1.47]

This is the same conclusion Spenser comes to at the end of the Mutability Cantos:

'I well consider all that ye have sayd,
And find that all things stedfastnes doe hate,
And changed be: yet being rightly wayd
They are not changed from their first estate;
But by their change their being doe dilate:
And turning to themselves at length againe,
Doe worke their owne perfection so by fate:' [V11.V11.58]

The garden is an allegory for the Platonic life-principle expounded in verses 36 to 38 of the Garden of Adonis where changeless 'things' or 'substance' borrow temporary physical form during life, decay, and are restored again.

In 'sublunary' terms this represents the fruitfulness of earthly life and the principle behind the 'mightie word . . . increase and multiply' [111.V1.34]. The Garden of Adonis is first and foremost, fruitful. The garden itself is a kind of storehouse for the various forms of life:

'. . . there is the first seminarie
Of all things, that are borne to live and die' [111.V1.30]

And its resident lovers, Cupid and Psyche, bear a child. Spenser approves of the pleasure indulged in in this garden, because it takes place between people who are enjoying natural healthy love:

'But now in steadfast love and happy state
She with him lives, and hath him borne a chyld' [111.V1.50]

In contrast, the pleasures to be had in the Bower of Bliss are thoroughly disapproved of. Even the word 'bliss' itself implies an extreme and transitory sensation compared to 'steadfast love and happy state' of the Garden of Adonis. The lovers of the Bower of Bliss are indulging in 'lewd loves, and wastfull luxuree' [11.X11.80]. They indulge in sex for its own sake, with no love, and no intention of procreation. This kind of activity, according to Spenser, saps the spirit and will-power of a knight, and causes him to lose interest in his true quest.

'Ne for them [his armour] ne for honour cared hee
Ne ought, that did to his advancement tend,
But in lewd loves, and wastfull luxuree,
His dayes, his goods, his bodie he did spend:
O horrible enchantment that him so did blend.' [11.X11.80]

The word 'enchantment' is important here; the queen of the garden is an enchantress with the power to turn men into pigs, and by implication a mind attracted by lust is a mind under a kind of spell. As with the golden ivy, it takes a man of insight and experience to see through the superficial attractions to the underlying depravity.

'That wight, who did not well avis'd it view,
Would surely deeme it to be yvie trew:' [11.X11.61]

Guyon himself becomes enchanted by the sight of the 'naked Damzelles' bathing. This long description [11.X11.63-68] is extremely attractive; it is designed to arouse feelings of lust in the reader or listeners. Spenser's 'warning words' such as 'greedy eyes', 'kindled lust' and the all-important 'seemed' [11.X11.64,68,65] are few and far between, but they are there, warning the reader of the danger Guyon is in. This is part of Guyon's education into temperance. The Palmer drags him away.

'He much rebukt those wandring eyes of his,
And counseld well, him forward thence did draw.' [11.X11.69]

But not all the pleasures to be had in the Bower of Bliss are tainted with artifice. The 'lovely lay' sung in verse 75 simply advocates enjoying life while it lasts:

'So passeth, in the passing of a day,
Of mortall life the leafe, the bud, the flowre,
Ne more doth flourish after first decay,
That earst was sought to decke both bed and bowre,
Of many a Ladie, and many a Paramowre:
Gather therefore the Rose, whilest yet is prime,
For soone comes age, that will her pride deflowre:
Gather the Rose of love, whilest yet is time' [11.X11.74]

Instructions for Preparing Your Yard and Garden for Wintertime

Having a garden offers a lot of advantages. For starters, it beautifies your environment. There is nothing like a piece of green and color to turn a drab space into a living and breathing sanctuary. Then there are also the benefits of having plants to your immediate environment. Having a garden is one of the best ways to purify the air around your house. If you have an herb or a vegetable garden, then you could easily enjoy natural produce without having to go to the market or store.

But as they say, gardens don't tend themselves. Gardens need caring particularly during the wintertime. One of the things that you need to know is that most crops do not die during the winter season. They just lie dormant. Still, without doing something to protect your plants from the cool temperature, they can easily freeze over and wither. If you have a garden, you don't have to worry about the coming of the winter season as long as you know what to do to keep your plants thriving. The key lies in proper preparation. When you prep your garden, you can be sure that your land will be most fertile and rich in nutrients come the following season. The right preparation can also lead to healthier plants and larger harvests.


Below are some tips for preparing your yard and garden for winter.

1. Do some type of evaluation

When the frozen months start to set in, that's a good time for you to perform some evaluation of your garden. To do this, you can ask yourself the next few questions: Which plant has grown best this year? Which one was difficult to grow? Which plant ought to be planted again next year? Which plant should I stop having for my garden? You should take note of your answer on a piece of paper so you can review them later on when spring arrives. It is important to do your evaluation before the coming of the next spring season to give yourself some time to prepare for what you can do next year. Evaluation should also be done on or just before the coming of winter when data about the plants you planted within the year is still fresh on your mind.

2. Clean up Your Front yard

After doing an evaluation of your garden it is now time to do some physical work. Before wintertime sets in, you must be able to clean up your garden completely. You should carry away all leaves, branches and other organic stuff because they generate gases that can be harmful to plants. It may be necessary for you to rake every day for a few weeks before wintertime comes. When leaves and other debris are left in your garden, they tend to hold liquid from the snow. Slightly wet leaves and debris can come to be the breeding ground for mold and even for diseases that can affect the overall health of your plants. By cleaning your yard, you can also make certain that daylight and nourishment will continue to seep into your lawn even during the winter months. When the weather is cold, the pH balance in the land gets balanced which in turn can lead to healthier soils. Routine raking can also help aerate your lawn so by the time that spring arrives they will be greener and healthier.

3. Control the Unwanted Plants in Your Lawn

Another significant task to do to prepare your garden or yard for the cold season is to control weeds. If you don't wish to see weeds come next spring, then you should take care of them before winter comes. What you need to know about weeds is that they continue to grow through the entire year. This is what makes them distinct from the grass in your lawn. Because they are growing constantly, you need to keep watch all the time and eradicate them as they appear. This is the only way to make sure that weeds will stop sprouting. If you will wait for winter before you take care of the weeds, you will have a tough time regulating them when spring arrives.

4. Take Good care of the Soil

Taking care of your soil should also be part of the winter preparation for your garden. To do this, you should include some compost or fertilizer to your land. As mentioned earlier, many of the plants within your garden just rest dormant throughout the wintertime, they don't really die. To continuously nourish them throughout winter, you should make sure that additional fertilizer is stashed in your soil. So even if your yard will be blanketed by snow, the grass and the plants underneath will be able to live on the saved resources. You should also check the soil for the right pH balance. The pH balance of the soil changes because of the shift of substances in the soil during the summer months. To fine-tune the acidity of your soil, you could try using a alternative type of fertilizer. You should add the new fertilizer to your soil before winter appears to allow the soil to effectively absorb it. By the time spring comes along, you will have a soil with a more well-balanced pH level.

5. Also Prepare Your Implements

Preparing your yard or garden for the winter months does not end on taking care of your plants and soil. You also need to take care of the tools that you use for yard work. You should pay particular attention to your lawn mower. Prior to storing it for the winter, make sure that you remove gas and oil from it. You are only going to waste gas and oil by leaving them to sit in your mower. Storing gas and oil in your mower can also damage it.

By studying at the list above, you may come to conclude that preparing your yard and garden for the cold season entails loads of hard work. The truth is, if you are doing little things daily, then the whole task will not seem challenging. Also, by working on your yard and garden now, you can keep yourself from performing more challenging work when spring comes.

Useful Tips on Purchasing Furniture Online

Purchasing furniture online should be a similar process to buying similar products in a physical furniture store instead of a virtual store; some of the most important factors to consider when using an online furniture supplier is to make sure the store is credible and has furniture suitable for the consumers needs. As the internet becomes more important to consumers we are seeing more online purchases of large items, including dining room furniture and platform beds. Although cost is always of major importance when purchasing any large items, the reliability and safety of purchasing from a credible company should be just as important.

Searching for an online furniture store provides a large number of choices for the consumer; for many people the choice of which store to buy from is made by the quality and usability of the company's website. When a company produces a website that has little stock available or links that do not work this can be a sign of unreliability and a lack of professionalism for the potential customer. Before deciding which company to buy furniture from the customer should do a little research into the company; online reviews can tell potential customers if other customers have had good or bad shopping experiences.


All types of furniture can be purchased online in the 21st century, from small items to large pieces of bedroom furniture. After finding a large selection of furniture from a credible online supplier the customer must now make their decision on style, material and color. From an online furniture store the customer must make these decisions based on any other furniture they already own and from descriptions and pictures available on the company's website.

Once the customer has made their choices on the furniture they are purchasing other decisions must be made on the shipping and payment options available. Only companies with safe and secure payment methods should be used to ensure the transaction can be tracked and cancelled if necessary. There are a large number of shipping methods available for small items, such as lamps and throw pillows up to large items, including living room furniture and dining tables. Some online stores have physical locations that a customer can pick furniture up from to avoid any extra shipping costs. Many online retailers use curbside delivery companies that deliver to the door of the customer making it the responsibility of the customer to inspect the package and its contents. Other furniture retailers offer white glove delivery options meaning a specialized delivery company brings the furniture into the delivery address and places it into position; the customer should still inspect the furniture for damage before accepting delivery.

If a consumer can find a credible furniture retailer online they can have positive experiences when buying furniture that is often of the same standard as that bought from a physical furniture retail location.

How To Attract Birds To Your Garden. What You Need.

If you love watching birds, love seeing them in your garden, and love the songs that they sing to each other, then you probably want to attract more of them to your garden. Doing that is not very difficult at all. You simply have to make your garden as bird friendly for them as possible.

Do that, and they will keep coming back day after day. After all, birds don't need a lot to be happy. If you give them the basics - water, shelter, and food, they will be more than happy.

Water is an important necessity for birds. They will usually get most of the water that they need through a combination of insects that they eat, wild fruits, the rain, and even the morning dew. In the winter time, they can get some of it from snow.

But, if you are looking to attract birds, what they really love is open water. It attracts birds for a number of reasons. One thing is that it provides them with an opportunity to bathe and give their wings a good cleaning - which helps them to fly. That's why, if you can possibly find a place for a bird bath in your garden, do so. You will find that it will end up attracting a lot of birds to your yard. And, in the winter time, when open water can be hard to come by in some places, this is especially true. And, a heated bird bath makes all the difference in the world as it keeps the water from freezing to ice.

The second thing that birds will be on the lookout for is shelter. And they want it for a number of reasons. With shelter, they are shielded from predators, they are protected from the wind and rain, and it gives them a place where they can safely build nests and raise their nestlings.

Birds love to find birdhouses that are waiting, and ready for them to move in. If you place them in your garden, you can be sure that the birds will love them. And it will provide them with an additional reason to choose your garden to raise their nestling instead of another place.

Lastly, birds need food. At certain times of the year, when insects are plentiful, food is not a big problem for birds. But in times of drought or in the winter, food can sometimes be hard to find.

In addition, when it is cold outside, birds need to eat a lot more food than normal simply to keep warm. So at a time when they most need food, they can find that it is in scarce supply. If, however, you can help them out by providing feeders filled with their favorite food, once they locate the feeder, you can be sure that they will continue to come back for more.

A person can also get a dressing table, this is one that ladies tend to love - and use it as a place to dress and put on makeup as well as style hair. The amount of furniture that a person puts in their bedroom depends upon the size of the room.

It is good to make sure that the bedroom does not look too crowded. When buying bedroom furniture, a person must first consider the size of the room as well as the bed. There are bedroom sets that contain both beds as well as furniture. However, it is not necessary to buy all of the bedroom furniture in a set if you do not have the room. And there are some cases where a person may have a bed and simply want to have convenient furniture in the bedroom. You can mix and match your bedroom furniture as often a person has a bed from one set and then some furniture from another set. Then there are the iron beds and beds without wooden frames that have to be considered.

There is usually a dresser and an armoire. There are high dressers and low dressers. Traditionally, a dressing table was a dresser with a mirror on top of it and was used by the lady of the house. The man got the taller dresser. This was to differentiate the furniture from one piece to another, give both men and women a place to store their clothes as well as imply that men would be taller, and thus need the taller item. Many people today will get a full set of furniture for the bedroom such as a dresser, an armoire, a dressing table, which is often called a vanity table, and end tables for the bed. Some will get only a few pieces of furniture, depending on their living space as well as the size of the room and the amount of money they have to spend. You can add to your bedroom furniture by getting it online cheap.

Lawn mowers


Lawn mowers are probably the most widely used gardening tool in the world. The history of lawn mowers dates back to early 19th century when it was first used to level the grass on lawns and fields.
