Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This 1952 book is an inquiry into the relations in origin between literature and inspiration, based on a study of the practices of seers in modern communities where oral literature sill survives, and of the records of primitive poetry in the West and North. Mrs Chadwick discusses the universal reverence accorded to poets, musicians, seers, or prophets, the training they underwent, the methods of ecstasy, and the remarkable similarities of their messages in remote and different parts of the world.

Download or read book Poems Equations and Prophecies written by Clark LaPointe and published by Trafford Publishing. This book was released on 2003 with total page 112 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Gathered from scrapbooks, diaries, book margins and disk drives, this collection charts the author's life from boy to man, from travels to Africa, from young family to middle age. The predominant themes of spiritual path and scientific rationale are set in emphatic rhythms and rhymes. The tone is sometimes sombre - prophecy does tend to be gloomy- but patches of bright sun shine in the poems Sparrows Chirping and From the Farm, which delight in the appreciation of Nature. Many of the poems employ dream images and words. In the humorous On Our Way to Mali, and in the challenging Quantitative Analysis, the colour, light, situation and sound of the dream world creates the poem. Poems, Equations and Prophecies has only a few poems with equations embedded in the verses. These should not distract the student of literature any more than the student of mathematics should be distracted by religious symbols. They stimulate the other senses as much as imagery and alliteration, but may require some background reading to fully appreciate. Poems, Equations and Prophecies describes visions interpreted using contemporary ideas and techniques. The poem I saw you twice relies on the teachings of Carlos Castaneda to lend meaning to bizarre, real-life events. One Foundation Trilogy questions the value of prophecy in modern society. More rational means are available to help humanity choose its way through crisis, as in Isaac Asimov's classic novels. The Besht comes to help uses the analytical method of Carl Jung to interpret a kabbalistic vision of the Heavenly Chariot. Seeds of this discovery are apparent throughout the earlier poems, particularly in RESUME. Lastly, what collection would be complete without an enduring love song? Two Worlds is at heart a love poem written to the author's wife. With inconsistent equations inspired by Gödel's Theorem and a prophetic connection with September 11th, this poem will intrigue the poet reader and test the mathematician for time to come.

Download or read book Poetry and Prophecy written by Reuven Shoham and published by BRILL. This book was released on 2021-10-11 with total page 376 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The book discusses the image of the prophet and the role of prophecy in Modern Hebrew Poetry. The first part of the book presents the prophetic archetypal biographies of prophets, heroes and artists in Hebrew and European mythologies. It also examines the historical facts which lead to the departure of the prophet from Hebrew literature following the destruction of the second temple. Finally, it addresses the necessity of reappearance of the prophet in the 18th and 19th centuries in Hebrew thought and literature and provides a short history of that reappearance in Haskala literature. The second part focuses upon three major “prophets poets”: Haim N. Bialik, Avraham Shlonski and Uri Z. Greenberg. The book may be of interest to scholars of Literature, Judaism, Philosophy, Science of Religion, Anthropology, Folklore and Rhetoric.
Download or read book Chinese Poetry and Prophecy written by Michel Strickmann and published by Stanford University Press. This book was released on 2005 with total page 246 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book argues that the most profound and far-reaching effects of Buddhism on Chinese culture occurred at the level of practice, specifically in religious rituals designed to cure people of disease, demonic possession, and bad luck. This practice would leave its most lasting imprint on the liturgical tradition of Taoism. In focusing on religious practice, the book provides a corrective to traditional studies of Chinese religion, which overemphasize metaphysics and spirituality.

This book was released on 2013-08-20 with total page 36 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This carefully crafted ebook: "Europe A Prophecy (Illuminated Manuscript with the Original Illustrations of William Blake)" is formatted for your eReader with a functional and detailed table of contents. Blake's illuminated books, produced from 1783-1795, are remarkable examples of complex syntheses: of form - poetry and painting; and of subject - the real with the mythical. Blake created his own mythological creations to populate his poems and paintings: concepts and ideas became personified into universal representations. He used these mythological characters to explain and act out his singular view of history. Blake divided the nature of man into four personified elements: "Los, the imagination and eventual source of redemption; Urizen, the reason and vengeful Jehovah of the Old Testament as opposed to the merciful Christ of the New; Luvah, the senses; and Tharmas, the emotions". Each of these characters has an emanation, or female "offshoot", who is commonly a negative character attempting to dominate her male counterpart. "William Blake (1757 – 1827) was an English poet, painter, and printmaker. Largely unrecognised during his lifetime, Blake is now considered a seminal figure in the history of both the poetry and visual arts of the Romantic Age.

Download or read book The Epic Poem Prophesied by Nostradamus written by Robert Tippett and published by . This book was released on 2011-12 with total page 412 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In 1555, Michel de Nostredame published the first installment of his most famous literary work, The Prophecies. Those installments were finalized after Nostradamus' death (1566), with the publication of the 1568 Lyon edition. For the past 443 years, no one has ever attempted to present all 947 poems in an order other than that originally published. However, those individual verses, called quatrains (4-lines, ABAB rhyme scheme), were originally presented in an out of order manner. Robert Tippett has worked for a decade to produce a revised order of the poems of Nostradamus, in an order of story that yields an epic poem of prophetic magnitude. This book is produced to go along with the other books written by Tippett, The Systems of Nostradamus and The Centuries of Nostradamus (a multi-volume set), to help student of prophecy understand the true message Nostradamus prophesied for the world to know, as a vehicle of God and Jesus Christ. Still, as a literary masterpiece comparable to all works produced by past great writers of epic poems, The Epic Poem Prophesied by Nostradamus needs to draw close inspection by all who value the written word.

Download or read book The Rhetoric of Romantic Prophecy written by Ian Balfour and published by Stanford University Press. This book was released on 2002 with total page 372 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Romantic era in England and Germany saw a sudden renewal of prophetic modes of writing. Biblical prophecy and, to a lesser extent, classical oracle again became viable models for poetry and even for journalistic prose. Notably, this development arose out of the new-found freedom of biblical interpretation that began in the mid-eighteenth century, as the Bible was increasingly seen to be a literary and mythical text. Taking Walter Benjamin’s thinking about history as a point of departure, the author shows how the model for Romantic prophecy emerges less as a prediction of the future than as a call to change in the present, even as it quotes, at key turns, texts from the past. After surveying developments in eighteenth-century biblical hermeneutics, as well as the numerous instances of prophetic eruption in Romantic poetry, the book culminates in close readings of works by Blake, Hölderlin, and Coleridge. Each of these writers interpreted the Bible in strong, variously radical and conservative ways, and each reworked prophetic texts in often startling fashion. The author’s reading of Blake focuses on the complex temporal and rhetorical dynamics at work in a prophetic tradition, with attention paid to the key mediating figure of Milton. The chapter on Hölderlin investigates the truth-claim of poetry and the consequences of Hölderlin’s insight into the necessarily figural character of poetry. The analysis of Coleridge correlates his theory of allegory and symbol with his theory and practice of political writing, which often relies on mobilizing prophetic authority. Together, the readings force us to reexamine the claims and practices of Romantic poets and thinkers and their ideas and ideologies, not without engendering some allegorical resonance with issues in our own time.
Download or read book Prophecy Poetry and Hosea written by Gerald Morris and published by A&C Black. This book was released on 1996-01-01 with total page 168 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The books of the Latter Prophets have traditionally been treated as persuasive speeches, and interpreted according to their rhetoric. At the same time, interpreters recognize the poetic form of much prophecy. This study takes up the notion of the 'prophet' as 'poet', focusing on word-play in Hosea and on the lyrical plot of that book; the case is made for treating Hosea as a stark, full-length poem of inexhaustible power.
