3. The subject of ‘ Comparative Literature’ is to “ examine… the phenomena of literature as a whole, to compare them, tto classify them, to enquire into the causes of them, to determine the results of them.” - Arthur Marsh ( 1896)

4. Comparison of Two Poems FIRE AND ICE by Robert Frost (1874-1963) Ice and Fire by Edmund Spenser (1522-1599) Some say the world will end in fire, Some say in ice. From what I’ve tasted of desire I hold with those who favor fire. But if it had to perish twice, I think I know enough of hate To know that for destruction ice Is also great And would suffice. My love is like to ice, and I to fire: How comes it then that this her cold so great Is not dissolved through my so hot desire, But harder grows the more I her entreat?.... Such is the power of love in gentle mind, That it can alter all the course of kind.
