Unit 2 discusses the power that ordinary and everyday things can have in terms of creativity. This idea relates to how Sting broke through his writer's block. Taking this idea of using the power of

imparadis't in one anothers arms  

the happier eden, shall enjoy their fill  

of bliss on bliss, while i to hell am thrust,
