Download or read book Ovid s Poetics of Illusion written by Philip R. Hardie and published by Cambridge University Press. This book was released on 2002-02-07 with total page 382 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Ovid's poetry is haunted obsessively by a sense both of the living fullness of the texts and of the emptiness of these 'insubstantial pageants'. This major study touches on the whole of Ovid's output, from the Amores to the exile poetry, and is an overarching treatment of illusionism and the textual conjuring of presence in the corpus. Modern critical and theoretical approaches, accompanied by close readings of individual passages, examine the topic from the points of view of poetics and rhetoric, aesthetics, the psychology of desire, philosophy, religion and politics. There are also case studies of the reception of Ovid's poetics of illusion in Renaissance and modern literature and art. The book will interest students and scholars of Latin and later European literatures. All foreign languages are accompanied by translations.

But on Longnight, the Goddess blesses her with a powerful illusion: Kit shall appear a hideous crone until she becomes who she was meant to be. Before anyone from court sees her, she flees to the one person she knows shall help—Mel, the gentleman she loved as a girl who is now a priest for the Goddess. Mel, the middle son of a wealthy duke but called to serve the Goddess, has been avoiding Kit since discovering her cruel lies separated his brother from the girl he loved. But when Kit begs Mel for his help, he feels compelled to agree for the sake of the devout and tender girl he'd once loved. But no one can break the Goddess's illusion, not even a wise elf or a powerful seer. So with Mel's support, Kit settles into life at the Goddess's temple. She and Mel continue to clash, and those clashes soon lead to passionate kisses—ones she actually enjoys. But a priest would never marry an unworthy lady like her, and she can't live the rest of her life as a crone. Somehow, Kit must break her unwanted illusion, forget about Mel, and return to court where she belongs. Yet the Goddess's plans are not so easy to foil, and she has other ideas for Kit and Mel.

Book excerpt: The letters in this sentence forming these words are my song. This book is my story, and this is a record of her glory engraved within the four cornerstones that my soul pillars upon. Luscious lips underlined with a wine-colored lipstick, all imaginary utopian splendors smiling within a crystal ball, are glittering lights beneath the apples of her eyes. Wonderfully written soprano sonnets, dripping with romantic intonations, and composed by pleasant-sounding musical notes that echo every good-morrow across a celestial city, denote a melodious silhouette of her loveliness. Rosaceae is her precious name—a beautifier given name that beautifies a chromatic earthling and embellishes the picturesque crayon creature she is. Eroded roses smile at her sighting—pasty-faced romance roads ashen from aged love glow and rusty rods sparkle gold. Sweet maroon sounds of glorious monsoon, tuneful carols of a blessed typhoon, and moonshine sonorous ripples of blissful seas are peachy-perfect tones of her pretty voice. Roh-ZAY-see, is the proper name pronunciation of this pleasing cherub, and the saccharine seraph of mine. Roh-ZAY-see is my solely and solemnly beloved sweetheart, who’s alike a silent portrait of a smoldering star portrayed with rays of smiling sunshine, shining within a bluish suburban sunrise.

From the ashes, he (Ace) is fighting for his life...this time he is in a fight to save himself. But, does he have what it takes? Is the motivation to live, still flows within his bones? Find out, open the book, and look into the pages. I sighed, and my eyes closed for a moment, my hands dropping beneath my waistline. Upon opening my eyes, I stared into a mirror standing in front of me, and saw a reflection of a man who has been to hell and back, rejected by a secret society of ecstasy and refused a hand of peace in this life, a man weak and tired, staring right-back-at-me, smiling with real pain swimming within his eyes like something precious was broken inside, looking like a dying ray of sunshine that hadn’t slept in days, or weeks to be more accurate. Strangely, the man in the mirror looked like me, as I was—at the moment. (A smile is a present you give to yourself, when you rightfully delight in your pleasant past, happy memories are hugs, and sounds of laughter of your loved ones are warm kisses to your soul, so don’t be afraid to remember your good old days.) -Fortune-foodie

For that matter, neither does Elias Coppersmith, her new husband. All either can remember is that they were on the run… With Hannah’s dubious background and shaky para-psych profile, she could have done much worse.

But a honeymoon spent retracing their footsteps leads Hannah and Elias into the twisting underground catacombs, where secrets from both their pasts will come to light—and where the energy of their clashing auras will grow hot enough to burn…
