Download or read book Pearls written by Linda McNamara and published by . This book was released on 2023-06-19 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: As you travel through life, you can't avoid pain: a dysfunctional childhood, difficult and unfulfilling relationships, serious illnesses, and heart-wrenching losses. However, if you bury the pain and fail to examine it, the impact can be long-lasting and affect who you are and who you want to become. Pearls emerged from the ugliest, most painful period of Linda McNamara's life. She was in her fifties with a successful career and a happy home when her world imploded: she was diagnosed with lupus, a serious autoimmune illness. Then one of her sisters died suddenly at age forty-seven. Her husband of twenty-eight years didn't want to be married any longer and asked for a divorce. And her only son moved 2000 miles away to attend college. Linda had to sell her home, take an indefinite leave of absence from the job she loved, and go to live with her sister in another state because she was too sick to care for herself. After many months, the lupus stabilized to what would be her new normal. She returned to work, but she was on a roller coaster for the next eight years trying to balance a demanding job and a demanding illness. She finally had to stop work and go on disability. Until lupus forced her to slow down, Linda never took the time to explore who she was or who she wanted to become. The illness gave her lots of time to think. Although she always hated writing, she began expressing her thoughts and feelings by journaling or writing short poems. By exploring her painful past, she gained insight into who she was and why she acted or reacted in certain ways. She became more self-aware and more aware of the needs of others. Pearls acknowledges pain and struggles but also celebrates wit, wisdom, courage, and strength. The poet Jim Harrison once said, "Poetry, at its best is the language your soul would speak if you could teach your soul to speak." Linda's soul has spoken.
Download or read book Pearl written by J. D. Winter and published by Liverpool University Press. This book was released on 2019-05-28 with total page 65 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Pearl occupies a special place in the English canon. Together with Gawain and the Green Knight and two minor poems, the late fourteenth-century manuscript came to light after nearly 500 years of being tucked away in one private library or another. While Gawain (which may or may not be by the same hand) received early acclaim as a marvellously-written tale of magic and derring-do, Pearl has yet fully to gain the popularity it richly deserves. In terms of psychological discovery, theological debate, and an unmatched technical brilliance in the joint deployment of alliteration and rhyme, it is a thing of wonder. A dream-vision for almost its entire length, Pearl has a direct relation to the narrators real world. Whether or not the situation it depicts is a fictional one, the poem stands as a commemoration of the deepest personal experience. While the descriptive passages of a heaven-made world are remarkable, the exchange between a grieving man and the pearl he has lost and found pitched almost in terms of a quickfire argument is irresistible. A young female character, taking her time, demolishes a learned male opponent. Yet love speaks throughout, in a Christian presentation of the struggle to relinquish self-will, so that by the deftest of literary strokes the reader finally is one with the dreamer as he comes to terms with the beauty of what must be. This translation meticulously preserves a highly-demanding formal structure and lexical meaning while operating with a freedom which ideally, in this kind of poetry, is that of a conversational song. Dream-poems were not uncommon in the fourteenth century; and Pearl not only is a perfect example of the genre, but offers a poetic experience to reach beyond genre and time.

Download or read book The Idea of Perfection written by Paul Valéry and published by Farrar, Straus and Giroux. This book was released on 2020-04-14 with total page 400 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A fresh look into the monumental work of Paul Valéry, one of the major French literary figures of the twentieth century. Heir to Mallarmé and the symbolists, godfather to the modernists, Paul Valéry was a poet with thousands of readers and few followers, great resonance and little echo. Along with Rilke and Eliot, he stands as a bridge between the tradition of the nineteenth century and the novelty of the twentieth. His reputation as a poet rests on three slim volumes published in a span of only ten years. Yet these poems, it turns out, are inseparable from another, much vaster intellectual and artistic enterprise: the Notebooks. Behind the published works, behind the uneventful life of the almost forgotten and then exceedingly famous poet, there hides another story, a private life of the mind, that has its record in 28,000 pages of notes revealed in their entirety only after his death. Their existence had been hinted at, evoked in rumors and literary asides; but once made public it took years for their significance to be fully appreciated. It turned out that the prose fragments published in Valéry’s lifetime were not the after-the-fact musings of an accomplished poet, nor his occasional sketchbook, nor excerpts from his private journal. They were a disfigured glimpse of a vast and fragmentary “exercise of thought,” a restless intellectual quest as unguided and yet as persistent, as rigorous, and as uncontainable as the sea that is so often their subject. The Idea of Perfection shows both sides of Valéry: the craftsman of sublimely refined verse, and the fervent investigator of the limits of human intellect and expression. It intersperses his three essential poetic works—Album of Early Verse, The Young Fate, and Charms—with incisive selections from the Notebooks and finishes with the prose poem “The Angel.” Masterfully translated by Nathaniel Rudavsky-Brody, with careful attention to form and a natural yet metrical contemporary poetic voice, The Idea of Perfection breathes new life into poems that are among the most beautiful in the French language and the most influential of the twentieth century.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Middle English poem Pearl is an elegy on the death of a child, written to provide consolation for the loss of a loved one through instruction in Christian theology. The mourning father’s faith in God has been shaken by his daughter’s death. Having fainted away on his daughter’s grave, he is transported in a dream vision to an earthy paradise where he sees his daughter across a stream, transfigured and clothed in garments set with pearls. She explains to him her exalted status as a bride of Christ and shows him a vision of the New Jerusalem. Ravished with his vision, he attempts to cross the stream to join his Pearl, only to be woken from his dream of paradise. This translation of the poem is accompanied by a preface on the translation, a reproduction of the poem in its original orthography, a transcription of the manuscript, a glossary, and instructions on how to read the manuscript hand.
