.... Arthur's famed court (placed at Caerleon-on-Usk) and his final battle and defeat at the hands of Modred, his treacherous nephew.

One path is well beaten and treaded, while the other is less traveled and more difficult. Is the traveler happy with the decision he has made to take the road less traveled?

.... he felt with the earth began at the mere age of five. At this young age, he was moved from the bustling city of Boston to a completely foreign setting: the Massachusetts countryside. It was after that move that Thoreau realized what had been missing in his life. "That woodland vision for a long time made the drapery of my dreams...Somehow or other it at once gave the preference to this recess among the pines...over that tumultuous and varied city, as if it (my spirit) had found its proper nursery" (Thoreau 252).

.... and sisters when his father died, Robert Franklin Warren forsook his literary ambitions and devoted himself to more lucrative businesses. Robert Warren did not always have ambitions to become a writer, in fact, one of his earlier dreams was to become an adventurer on the high seas.

In fact the Dean of the academy was not very impressed with his performance, and gave him a really hard time and said to him "You will never be painter." The rejection really crushed him as he now reached a dead end. He could not apply to the school of architecture as he had no high-school diploma. During the next 35 years of his live the young man never forgot the rejection he received in the dean's office that day. Many Historians like to sp .....

Despite the obscurity, a handful of solitary and determined artists broke ground here, stretching the inflexible definitions of what constitutes painting, sculpture and other media.
