In the history the Middle Ages were followed by the Renassance period. During this period a new class called bourgeoeisie came into being. This is the period when monarchies based on nationality were estabilished. The Renaessance started in Italy In the 14th century. Then it spread all over Europe, reached England in 16th century.

Estonia changed hands but the three lions remained. In 1925 they were adopted officially. The present large coat of arms is a golden shield charged with three blue lions with a golden oak branch on each side. The small coat of arms is identical but without oak branches. Use of the historic coat of arms as the official insignia of the Republic of Estonia was readopted in August 1990. In addition to the three main state emblems, Estonia has its national flower (the cornflower), its national bird (the barn swallow) and its national stone (limestone). There are a number of other things in Estonia which have symbolic value without any official status: the oak tree, the weather-vane and the Tower of Pikk Hermann in Tallinn, Hermann Castle in Narva, Big Egg Hill in South Estonia, and others. 6.

attached to certain calendar dated, constitute the soul of British social culture and are of great interest for a researcher. At Lichfield, a festival commonly called the Greenhill Bower and Court of Array takes place annually in late May or June. This is really two customs, of which the first the Bower is said to run back to the time of King Oswy of Northumbria, who founded Lichfield in A.D. 656. In the Middle Ages, the city guilds used to meet at Greenhill, carrying flower garlands and emblems of their trades. Now the Bower ceremonies have become a sort of carnival, wherein lorries carrying tableaux, trade floats, decorated carts, and bands pass cheerfully through streets profusely adorned with flowers and greenery.

Australian symbols. Australia is composed of 6 states - New South Wales, Queensland, South Australia, Western Australia, Tasmania and Victoria); and 2 territories - Australian Capital Territory (ACT) and the Northern Territory. There are no official native emblems. However, the Red Kangaroo, the Emu and the Golden Wattle appear on Commonwealth coat of arms. The national anthem is called „Advance Australia Fair“. The flag has the „Union Jack“ in the top left-hand corner. The rest is dark blue background with white stars. These stars consist of the southern cross and a large seven-pointed white „federation star“ representing 6 states and the territories. 48. The Strine.

Closed court, believed in masques. 3. 17th century „metaphysical” poetry (Donne, Quarles, Herbert, Crashaw, Vaughan, Marvell) Religious poetry, books of emblems (allegorical pictures, verses explaining their moral), unconventional or „unpotic” figures like compass or mosquito to reach surprise effects, paradox and oxymoron.

When five-sixths of Ireland seceded from the United Kingdom in 1922, the state was renamed the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland. 1.2 National Symbols and Nation Building The nation is visible through its symbols (flags, anthems, emblems), ceremonies (national days, sporting events), monuments (memorials, buildings, national museums), the land itself (landscape), its borders (insiders and outsiders) and the capital city. This assumption is illustrated by the fact that all nations, in order to be accepted internationally, must have a certain number of characteristics. The nation is usually known by six essential elements: a name, a capital city, clearly defined borders, a national flag, a national anthem and a national day

However, Farr disagrees with this analysis, saying that Dickinson's "relentlessly measuring mind ... deflates the airy elevation of the Transcendental". Apart from the major themes discussed below, Dickinson's poetry frequently uses humor, puns, irony and satire.Flowers and gardens Farr notes that Dickinson's "poems and letters almost wholly concern flowers" and that allusions to gardens often refer to an "imaginative realm ... wherein flowers [are] often emblems for actions and emotions". She associates some flowers, like gentians and anemones, with youth and humility; others with prudence and insight. Her poems were often sent to friends with accompanying letters and nosegays. Farr notes that one of Dickinson's earlier poems, written about 1859, appears to "conflate her poetry itself with the posies": "My nosegays are for Captives / Dim long expectant eyes / Fingers denied the plucking, /
