"To see a world in a grain of sand
And a heaven in a wild flower,
Hold infinity in the palm of your hand
And eternity in an hour."

Create a piece of art with an original picture and a photo editor of choice. Title it "Common Things in an Uncommon Light" and post it to your blog by 11pm. Please make sure that the creation truly is something common in an uncommon light (e.g. I took the picture of a jellyfish and played with the effects to show something common with a different perspective). Include a brief explanation (please include the photo editor you used as well as what you thought about Wordsworth), and use the subject line "Common Things in an Uncommon Light"

The world is too much with us; late and soon,
Getting and spending, we lay waste our powers:
Little we see in Nature that is ours;
We have given our hearts away, a sordid boon!....

Coleridge (author introduction and reading selection introduction)
Write a short story that conveys one of the ideas listed below. Don't sweat the conventions in this piece as I'm primarily interested in your storyline (consider it a rough draft). Post it on your blog and make your subject line (the story's title) based on your selection:
- "Its immediate end is pleasure (the story entertains) but its ultimate end is truth" (Horton, 535)
- Imagination trumps reason ["Coleridge's criticism is romantic in exalting the imagination over the reason, 'organic' over 'mechanic' form (the unity of a living thing over that of geometric design), and bold contrast within a work rather than bland harmony.] (Horton, 534)
- The uncommon appears believable
- Circular, solitary journeys
- The Christian journey of sin, punishment, repentance, forgiveness, and restoration
