Download or read book Introducing the Medieval Swan written by Natalie Jayne Goodison and published by University of Wales Press. This book was released on 2022-07-15 with total page 167 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Birds have always been a popular and accessible subject, but most books about medieval birds are an overview of their symbolism generally: owl for ill-omen, the pelican as a Eucharistic image and the like. The unique selling point of this book is to focus on one bird and explore it in detail from medieval reality to artistic concept. This book also traces how and why the medieval perception of the swan shifted from hypocritical to courtly within the medieval period. With special attention to ‘The Knight of the Swan’, the book traces the rise and popularity of the medieval swan through literature, history, courtly practices, and art. The book uses thoroughly readable language to appeal to a wide audience and explains some of the reasons why the swan holds such resonance today by covering views of the swan from classic to early modern times.
Download or read book Swan written by Mary Oliver and published by Beacon Press. This book was released on 2012-03-27 with total page 81 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: “Joy is not made to be a crumb,” writes Mary Oliver, and certainly joy abounds in her new book of poetry and prose poems. Swan, her twentieth volume, shows us that, though we may be “made out of the dust of stars,” we are of the world she captures here so vividly. Swan is Oliver’s tribute to “the mortal way” of desiring and living in the world, to which the poet is renowned for having always been “totally loyal.”

Download or read book Dane Swan My Story written by Dane Swan and published by Hardie Grant Publishing. This book was released on 2016-10-10 with total page 312 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Dane Swan is a Brownlow medallist, three-time Copeland Trophy winner, premiership player and five-time All Australian. The road to success has been an impressive journey for this AFL player. A laid-back knockabout who loves a party. Swan is the son of VFA legend Billy Swan and grew up in Broadmeadows, also where Eddie McGuire famously comes from. Both have gone on to climb to the top of their professions and both are at Collingwood. Swan was number 58 pick in the National draft of 2001 and even after four seasons had made little impression at Collingwood. But with the aid of fellow players and coach Mike Malthouse, his natural ability developed and by 2009 he was an All-Australian and people were starting to pay attention to the mid-fielder. In 2010 he was a surprised third in the Brownlow and Leigh Matthews Trophy winner, Jim Stynes medallist, Lou Richards medallist, All-Australian and AFLCA Champion player of the Year. In 2011 the Brownlow went to Dane Swan. An old-style footballer, Swan works hard and plays hard. He is one of the AFL's most prolific ball winners and has since become recognised as one of the greatest midfielders of the modern era. In his autobiography, Dane Swan talks about the highs and lows of his AFL career so far. Revealing, fascinating, funny, and brutally honest, this is a must read. He’s got an element of danger about him. He’s from Broady, he’s got tatts, he’s got a sense of humour, he’s his own man, he makes blues and he’s sublime on the field. – Eddie McGuire on Dane Swan There are no airs and graces, what you see is what you get. He’s not trying to be someone he’s not and that’s the beauty of Dane Swan. He’s only always been Dane Swan and you either like him, like most people do, or you don’t. – Liam Pickering Swan is the best mid-fielder in the AFL. – Leigh Matthews

Download or read book The Hungry Swan written by Tava Manickam and published by Notion Press. This book was released on 2018-04-03 with total page 191 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Hungry Swan, a work of fiction, flows along the life of Jay. Jay is born into an affluent family and has a chirpy and carefree life. However, inspired by a book that he accidentally finds in his grandparents’ attic, he sets out in search of the ultimate Truth; ‘Self-realisation’. The Hungry Swan does not carry names of places, nor is it time specific; the narrative is around the life journey of Jay and the purpose is to stress on the fact that there are as many paths to realise the Truth as there are people. Everyone’s perspective is unique and the only fuel is, of course, the hunger. Life helps by giving several hints to find appeasement of that hunger. Such hints are woven into the fabric of life, so intricately, that one almost always misses them! One has to go in search of it; Jay does too. But does he make it? Let The Hungry Swan take you out along with Jay, into the sky of the limitless!!
Download or read book The Painted Closet of Lady Anne Bacon Drury written by H. L. Meakin and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2013 with total page 414 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Lady Anne Bacon Drury (1572-1624) devised dozens of panels comprised of pictures and Latin mottoes for the walls of her closet or study. The panels functioned as a 'book' of meditations to enable her - well-connected, wealthy, and well-educated as she was - to cope with the disappointments of her life. For the first time in 400 years, Meakin thoroughly investigates the personal, social, and intellectual contexts of Lady Drury's closet.
