Download or read book Echoes and Reflections written by SunHee Kim Gertz and published by BRILL. This book was released on 2021-11-01 with total page 186 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This study examines tales from The Metamorphoses by the Roman poet Ovid (43 BC-18 AD) and from The Lais by the French poet Marie de France (fl. mid-to late twelfth century) to explore a paradox: how can a vibrant, complex, and timeless vision be conveyed in convention-informed and time-bound language? Marie plays against Ovid’s tales to probe the dilemma, thereby echoing Ovid who does the same to the canonical literary monuments of his day. Both poets suggest that poetry can avoid the flattening effect of monumental canonizing not only by the creative use of literary echoes, but also by shifting perspectives on the conventional, which in turn, can encourage readers to see reflections of many stories in any given tale. Ovid and Marie suggest and encourage in this manner by presenting literary love’s topoi and traditional lovers from a variety of metaliterary perspectives, thereby eliciting active readerly memory as well as providing the opportunity to see the conventional afresh, activity that allows even canonical texts to become living memorials.

This poignant collection of poetry is a celebration of solitude, a cherished space for introspection, growth, and deep connection.

Welcome to "Gardens of Solitude", where each poem invites you deeper into the wilderness of self, a place shrouded in beauty and mystery, ripe for exploration. Here, in the solitude of our inner gardens, clarity and peace await, obscured by the noise of the everyday world. Let this collection be your guide and companion on your journey inward. With every word, William Gomes invites you to wander, to wonder, and to witness the beauty that lies in the quiet, the solitude, and in the spaces between. This collection is not just a reading experience—it is an invitation to a journey of self-discovery and contemplation.
Download or read book De Rerum Natura written by Titus Carus Lucretius and published by Aris and Phillips Classical Te. This book was released on 2009 with total page 231 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: For a work written more than two thousand years ago, in a society in many ways quite alien to our own, Lucretius' De Rerum Natura contains much of striking, even startling, contemporary relevance. This is true, above all, of the fifth book, which begins by putting a strong case against what it has recently become fashionable to call 'intelligent design', and ends with an account of human evolution and the development of society in which the limitations of technological progress form a strong and occasionally explicit subtext. Along the way, the poet touches on many themes which may strike a chord with the twenty-first century reader: the fragility of our ecosystem, the corruption of political life, the futility of consumerism and the desirability of limiting our acquisitive instincts are all highly topical issues for us, as for the poem's original audience. Book V also offers a fascinating introduction to the world-view of the upper-class Roman of the first century BC. This edition (which complements existing Aris and Phillips commentaries on books 3, 4 and 6) will help to make Lucretius' urgent and impassioned argument, and something of his remarkable poetic style, accessible to a wider audience, including those with little or no knowledge of Latin. Both the translation and commentary aim to explain the scientific argument of the book as clearly as possible; and to convey at least some impression of the poetic texture of Lucretius' Latin.
