Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Life of Christ in Poetry and Art: A Poem My only apology for presuming to put my lines before the public is that in another form, that of an illustrated poetical discourse, they have been the means of doing some good and awakening interest in the hero of the story, and I have been repeatedly requested to put them in gift book form. I claim nothing for the literary merit of my part of the work, but knowing well by considerable experience in illustrations, that Christ enters the door of the eye, as well as the open ear, and better through them both, and also that the measure of a poem, changed now and then to avoid monotony, has a peculiar hold upon the memory, I have ventured to give to homes where Christ is loved a book that should interest all ages, but especially the young, and cause them for further details of the "Wondrous Story" to turn to the pages of the Sacred Word.

Download or read book Divine Inspiration written by Robert Atwan and published by Oxford University Press, USA. This book was released on 1998 with total page 629 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Bible is by far the leading source of inspiration for Western literature, and in particular, the life of Jesus has drawn the attention of artists and writers throughout the ages. Now, in a volume of astonishing range and originality, Robert Atwan, George Dardess, and Peggy Rosenthal present 280 remarkable poems from world literature focusing on Jesus's life and teaching. Readers accustomed to the predictable inclusions of many anthologies will be surprised and delighted by the diversity of poets represented here, from Aquinas, Dante, de Guevara, Donne, and Sor Juana, to D.H. Lawrence, Gabriela Mistral, Wole Soyinka, Margaret Atwood, Gwendolyn Brooks, Czeslaw Milosz, and Leopold Senghor. Perhaps no other thematically organized anthology could have brought together writers as different as Jorge Luis Borges, Thomas Merton, Alice Walker, Rainer Maria Rilke, and Jack Kerouac. Indeed, simply to turn the page in Divine Inspiration is an adventure in itself. And in terms of form, style, modulations of tone and perspective, the variety here is as unparalleled as it is unpredictable. The editors of Divine Inspiration have done a masterful job of unifying this vast assortment of poems. Organized chronologically around the life of Jesus, the book is divided into nine sections--from Birth and Infancy, through Healings and Miracles, to the Resurrection-- and presents passages from the Gospels followed by the poems they inspired. This structure gives readers the dual pleasures of a strong narrative pull punctuated by moments of lyric intensity. Our familiarity with the life of Jesus is thus enlivened, deepened, and in some cases wholly transformed by the imaginative power of the poems. In the largest section of the book, on the Passion of Jesus, we find an array of poems by Anna Akhmatova, Antonio Machado, Thomas Hardy, Miguel de Unamuno, Charles Baudelaire, R.S. Thomas, Andrew Marvell, Frederico Garcia Lorca, and Denise Levertov, among others. To see the Passion of Jesus refracted through the lenses of such poets is to see it anew, or more vividly than before. And to encounter Chinese, Korean, Nigerian, Arab, Latin American, Scandinavian, Hungarian, and Greek poets alongside English, French, and German is a testimony both to the editors' devoted scholarship and to the power of Jesus's life to inspire great poetry across a spectrum of cultures and eras. An invaluable sourcebook for students, scholars, and general readers alike, Divine Inspiration should prove equally satisfying to readers with a strong interest in religion and to all lovers of poetry.

Download or read book The Apostles in Early Christian Art and Poetry written by Roald Dijkstra and published by BRILL. This book was released on 2016-01-12 with total page 568 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Apostles in Early Christian Art and Poetry presents the first in-depth analysis of the origins of the representation of the apostles (the twelve disciples and Paul) in verse and image in the late antique Greco-Roman world (250-400). Especially in the West, the apostles are omnipresent, in particular on sarcophagi and in Biblical and martyr poetry. They primarily function as witnesses of Christ’s stay on earth, but Peter and Paul are also popular saints of their own. Occasionally, the other apostles come to the fore as individual figures. Direct influence from art on poetry or vice versa appears to be difficult to trace, but principal developments of late antique society are reflected in the representation of the apostles in both media.

Download or read book Jesus of Nazareth written by Rosy Bush and published by . This book was released on 2006-08 with total page 312 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: After receiving its original copyright in 2002 it was suddenly discovered that this was the very first book in English literature that describes the entire life of Jesus of Nazareth in a poetical language of a sonnet. Since its inception with Shakespeare and the XVIth century Renaissance era there has been no work of that category in the history English poetry. Of course, there are many poems dedicated to some events described in the New Testament (e.g. Nativity, Resurrection, etc.) but so far there hasn't been a sonnetical poetry collection produced by just one author that cohesively focuses on the entire life of Christ. There are thousands of works in the libraries around the world dedicated to the life of Jesus, but they are all written in a language of prose. What follows on the pages of this book is not necessarily the product of a one fixed denominational preference but it should be rather viewed as the work of art. As we know Jesus from Nazareth, regardless of religious or philosophical orientation, is the most fascinating figure of all times. Especially in the centuries of the past there were many artists that focused their most creative efforts on uncovering the uniqueness of Jesus' life. The greatest masterpieces of the Western art belong to that category. The museums around the world are full of biblical art that has been always timeless and timely no matter the world view. That''s why next to poems author placed the black and white pictures that are masterpieces of the Western art. That enhances better the idea that the language of art is universal and also better illustrates the point of intrinsic art interconnectivity. This work has several versions: Original andInternational, abridged and unabridged. The first one is designed for the poetry enthusiasts and philologists, the Original Version. It reflects more authentically the author''s linguistic and artistic inclinations. The second one called the International Version intends the
Download or read book The Life of Christ Through Poetry and Other Poems written by Dr Kathleen Butler Lowrie and published by . This book was released on 2014-08-28 with total page 122 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The first half of THE LIFE OF CHRIST THROUGH POETRY AND OTHER POEMS is intensely spiritual. The first section follows Jesus Christ from his birth to his ascension. The second section, DIALOGS WITH GODMAN are personal prayers formed into poetry. The third section, OTHER POEMS are poems of this world. They are about everyday people doing everyday things. Some poems are autobiographical. The three sections together are a culmination of thirty years of writing poetry. I hope you enjoy the book. What follows is a selection from each section: BALLAD OF SOME MIRACLES OF GOD-MAN The Lord was walking down the road; Begged leper to be healed. The Lord healed him to ease his load; Leper laughed and squealed. The Centurion came and asked, For his servants' good health. Christ said, "Order be done, the task." Servant was healed with stealth. Then Peter's dear mother-in-law, Did have a high fever. The Lord healed her every flaw. Now, she's a believer. Next, God-Man expelled the possessed, And cured those afflicted. From all illnesses, he gave rest. Tell no one." he restricted. IN PRAISE OF THE GOD-MAN Lord, we start out the New Year with you. Bless us, as you always do. Protect us from all evil, And all forms of upheaval. Know that we praise your name, And keep the candle of our birth aflame. STATUS QUO When sadness penetrates the soul, the heart, And steals the joy of sensuous desire, And magic of sweet love turns bitter tart, And flustered lust is beaten to retire, Then lovers undertake to love no more. The idle fascination satisfied. The bodies, breasts, and darting eyes of whores, Were once the husbands, housewives, but they died. No more are eager, tender whispers heard. In bedrooms, lamentations take their place. The whole conception, love is but a word. These thoughts have proven; stated is my case. But nothing changes; lovers will still lust, And will continue till they turn to dust! I hope you enjoy th

Download or read book Dawn of this Hunger written by Sally Read and published by Angelico Press/Second Spring. This book was released on 2021-11-15 with total page 70 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This cycle of poems reflects the life of Christ, by giving voice to and meditating on those closest to him and those who were touched by his earthly ministry. The defining events of the faith are explored with depth and freshness here, but also the tender moments that perhaps we consider less: Mary feeling the first movements of her baby within her, or Saint Joseph sitting beside his sleeping son. Written during Read's first ten years as a Catholic and poet in residence of the Hermitage of the Three Holy Hierarchs, the central narrative is interwoven with lyrical, contemplative pieces about God and our relationship with him. This book gives voice to what at times can seem inexpressible, bringing Christ closer by entering into his life and expressing his life in us.
