What I have learned from the Essays
Francis Bacon(1561-1626) was of noble birth. At twelve he was in France in the train of the English ambassador, when his father suddenlt died, leaving him without edequate means. Then Bacon setted himself to work out his own career, and at the age of twenty-six he was elected to parliament. But he made little progress during Elizabeth’s reign. When JamesⅠcame to England, Bacon prefered his services and his advice, and recieved a knighthood. Between 1612 and 1621 he rose through a succession of stages. He was an admirable judge, but in his rising he had made enermies who fanally combined to bing against his charges of being bribery and betrayal of justice. He was convicted and deprived of hid office, and banished from London. Five years later, in 1626, he died. The remaining years of his life were spent in literary and philosophical work.
Pop decribed him as “ The wisest, brightest, meanest of mankind”
Bacon’s works, may be divided into three classes, the philosophical,the literary, and the professional works.
Of Bacon’s literary the most important are the Essays. The Essays of Bacon are so highly esteemed that the critic. Halam declare it would be “derogatory to a man of the slightest claim to polite letters” to be unacquainted with them.
It include fifty-eight essays appeared in 1625. Then it was that Bacon wrote, “I do now publish my Essays, which of all my works have to ment bussiness and bosoms.”
After reading the Essay I understand a lot of things and can’t help myself admiring Bacon.
First,in the Essay, Bacon used a lot of rhetorics such as :
“Men fear death death, as children fear to go in the dark; and as that natual fear in children, is increased with tales, so is the other” Here he used analogy. “virtue is like precious odours, most fragrant when they are increased, or crushed.” Here he used simile. “love is ever matter of comedies; sometimes like a siren, sometimes like a fury.” Here he used simile and metapher. “For the motions of the plants under primum mobile; according to the old opinion: Which is, that every of them, is carried swiftly by the highest motion, and softlyin their own motion.” Here he used analogy and metapher. “For a crowd is not company; and faces are bu a gallery of pictures; and talk but a tinking cymbal, where there is no love.”Here he used metapher. “The best receipt is the admonition of a friend.” Here he used metapher. “Suspicions amoongst thoughts, are like bats amongst birds, the ever fl by twilight.” Here he used simile. “Ambition is like choler, which is an humour that makes men active, earnest, full of alacrity, and strring, if it be not stopped, and thereby malign and venomous.” Here he used sinile
Second, I think Bacon is good at quoting the classics or any other authortative work to support his argument, for example:
Quoted Soloman’s words “it is the glory of a man, to pass by offence.” to prove that it is a prince’s part to pardon.He used Seneca’s words: “the good things which belong to prosperity are to be wished; but the good things which belong to adversity are to be admired” to prove that miracles appear most in asversity. He qouted Solomon’s words: “ A wise son, rejoices the father, but an ungracious son shames the mother.” To prove that the difference in affection, of parents towards thier several children, is many times unwqual; and sometimes unworthy; especially in the mother. He qouted Demosthenes’story to prove that the necessary of an ortor’s action. He used Tacitus’words: “When great ill-will has been conceived (towards a ruler), all his acts, good or bad, alike condemn him” to prove that the despising of rumors is the best way to stop them. He used the common verse; “turns a bald noddle after she has present her locks in front, and no hold taken.” To prove that there is surely no greater wisdom, than well to time the beginnings, and onsets, of thiings.He also used Seneca’s words: “anger is like ruin, which breaks itself upon that it falls” to prove that how the anger does michief to men.
I also learned a lot of golden rules from the Essay:
From Of Death, I’ve learnede that “It’s an natural to die, as to be born.” No matter you are a common man or a great man, death is a part of you life as well as born, so there is no point being frightend. And“a mind fixed, and bent upon somewhat that is good, does awert the delours of death ...die in time, scare feels the hurt”,so we should spend our limited life in doing something that is meaningful.
From Of Envy, I’ve learned that there are six kinds of people who are easy to envy others: Fist,a man that has no virtue in himself,ever envied virtue in others; second, a man that is busy, and inquisitive, is commonly envious; third, men of nobble birth, are notes to be envious towards new men when they rise, so are the men that rise after calaities and misfortunes; fifth, men that desire to exel in too many matters, out of levity and vain-glory, are ever evious; Lastly near kindsfolk, and fellows in office, and bewitch.
From Of Delays, I leared that we should give acess, keep time appointed, go through that which is in hand, and interlace not business, but of necessary.And the ripeness, or unropeness, of the ocasion, must be well weighted. If a man watch too long, it is odds he will fall a sleep, on the other side, to star too early is another extrem.
From Of Anger, I learned that the causes and motives are chiefly three: fist, to be too sensible of hurt; second, contemption; and lastly,the touch of a man’s reputation.To contain anger from mischief, there be two things: the one, prevent extrem bitterness of words; the other, do not act anything, that is not revocable.
