Download or read book Bucolic Ecology written by Timothy Saunders and published by A&C Black. This book was released on 2013-11-01 with total page 193 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Beginning in outer space and ending up among the atoms, "Bucolic Ecology" illustrates how these poems repeatedly turn to the natural world in order to define themselves and their place in the literary tradition. It argues that the 'Eclogues' find there both a sequence of analogies for their own poetic processes and a map upon which can be located other landmarks in Greco-Roman literature. Unlike previous studies of this kind, "Bucolic Ecology" does not attribute to Virgil a predominantly Romantic conception of nature and its relationship to poetry, but by adopting such differing approaches to the physical world as astronomy, geography, topography, landscape and ecology, it offers an account of the Eclogues that emphasises their range and complexity and reaffirms their innovation and audacity.

Book excerpt: MOSCHUS of Syracuse, 2nd century B.C., came next. As a 'grammarian' he wrote a (lost) work on Rhodian dialect. Though he was classed as bucolic, his extant poetry (mainly 'Runaway Love' and the story of 'Europa') is not really pastoral, the 'Lament for Bion' not being Moschus's work. 'Megara' may be Theocritus; but 'The Dead Adonis' is much later. BION of Phlossa near Smyrna lived in Sicily, probably late 2nd and early 1st century B.C. Most of the extant poems are not really bucolic, but 'Lament for Adonis' is floridly brilliant. 'Myrson and Lycidas' is probably not by Bion. The so-called Pattern-Poems, included in the 'bucolic' tradition, are found also in the Greek Anthology.

Download or read book In a Bucolic Land written by Szilárd Borbély and published by New York Review of Books. This book was released on 2022-01-11 with total page 145 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A moving, posthumous collection of elegies and eclogues that meditate on nature, landscape, and history, by a great Hungarian poet. Szilárd Borbély spent his childhood in a tiny impoverished village in northeastern Hungary, where the archaic peasant world of Eastern Europe coexisted with the collectivist ideology of a new Communist state. Close to the Soviet border and far from any metropolitan center, the village was a world apart: life was harsh, monotonous, and often brutal, and the Borbélys, outsiders and “class enemies,” were shunned. In a Bucolic Land, Borbély’s final, posthumously published book of poems, combines autobiography, ethnography, classical mythology, and pastoral idyll in a remarkable central poetic sequence about the starkly precarious and yet strangely numinous liminal zone of his youth. This is framed by elegies for a teacher in which the poet meditates on the nature of language and speech and on the adequacy of words to speak of and for the dead. Ottilie Mulzet’s English translation conveys the full power of a writer of whom László Krasznahorkai has said, “He was a poet—a great poet—who shatters us.”

Book excerpt: Bucolic is the story of Libelle Jameson, a girl who has it all in the quiet town of Fairsage. She was okay with remaining ignorant and shielded from the real world, that is, until Caden Carlton moved in from the rivaling town over. Libelle finds herself captivated by the only source that makes her feel truly alive: a boy with a haunting past that has come creeping back up, exposing her to the harsh realities of the real world. Some souls are too far gone, but does that mean she shouldn't try and save him regardless? This is a story about a girl who wants to make the same 180 for the boy who did that for her, but Libelle fails to realize that some things are determined on swallowing us whole and wearing us down until there's no strength left to fight it. When Caden moved to town, Libelle found herself drawn to his abnormal behavior, as he was quiet, closed off, constantly looking over his shoulder with reddened eyes, and high off of God-knows-what. She always knew that there were people starving, abused, depressed, and homeless in the world, but she never had to face that harsh reality. Thanks to him she realized that life wasn't perfect, and that people can be far more flawed than they seem on the surface. No matter how big the shovel, deep the hole, or heavy the dirt--the past can't be buried. Nevertheless, this won't stop Libelle from at least trying.

Download or read book Virgil s Garden written by Frederick Jones and published by A&C Black. This book was released on 2013-10-16 with total page 205 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Virgil's book of bucolic verse, the Eclogues, defines a green space separate from the outside worlds both of other Roman verse and of the real world of his audience. However, the boundaries between inside and outside are deliberately porous. The bucolic natives are aware of the presence of Rome, and Virgil himself is free to enter their world. Virgil's bucolic space is, in many ways, a poetic replication of the public and private gardens of his Roman audience - enclosed green spaces which afforded the citizen sheltered social and cultural activities, temporary respite from the turbulence of public life, and a tamed landscape in which to play out the tensions between the simple ideal and the complexities of reality. This book examines the Eclogues in terms of the relationship between its contents and its cultural context, making connections between the Eclogues and the representational modes of Roman art, Roman concepts of space and landscape, and Roman gardens.
Download or read book The Bucolic Plague written by Josh Kilmer-Purcell and published by Harper Collins. This book was released on 2010-06-01 with total page 321 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: What happens when two New Yorkers (one an ex–drag queen) do the unthinkable: start over, have a herd of kids, and get a little dirty? Find out in this riotous and moving true tale of goats, mud, and a centuries-old mansion in rustic upstate New York—the new memoir by Josh Kilmer-Purcell, author of the New York Times bestseller I Am Not Myself These Days. A happy series of accidents and a doughnut-laden escape upstate take Josh and his partner, Brent, to the doorstep of the magnificent (and fabulously for sale) Beekman Mansion. One hour and one tour later, they have begun their transformation from uptight urbanites into the two-hundred-year-old-mansion-owning Beekman Boys. Suddenly, Josh—a full-time New Yorker with a successful advertising career—and Brent are weekend farmers, surrounded by nature's bounty and an eclectic cast: roosters who double as a wedding cover band; Bubby, the bionic cat; and a herd of eighty-eight goats, courtesy of their new caretaker, Farmer John. And soon, a fledgling business, born of a gift of handmade goat-milk soap, blossoms into a brand, Beekman 1802. The Bucolic Plague is tart and sweet, touching and laugh out loud funny, a story about approaching middle age, being in a long-term relationship, realizing the city no longer feeds you in the same way it used to, and finding new depths of love and commitment wherever you live.
