Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Psalms in Modern Speech and Rhythmical Form This translation aims at reproducing, in modern speech, something of the impression created by the rhythmical form of the Hebrew Psalter. From lovers of the Bible much of its beauty is not infrequently hidden, because it is so persistently presented to them in the garb of prose. Doubtless it is true that Hebrew poetry loses less through translation into prose than does the poetry of other languages; and this because one of its chief characteristics is the so-called "parallelism," in virtue of which the second line of a verse is usually an echo of, or contrast to, the first - a feature which no translation, however inadequate, can altogether obliterate. But between lines thus related there is also a certain correspondence of accent, and any translation which would do approximate justice to the original must seek to satisfy the ear as well as the mind. In a translation which attempts to be faithful, this is not easy; for it frequently happens that one Hebrew word demands for its adequate, or at any rate for its literal, interpretation six or even more English words; and probably no translation which was narrowly faithful could invariably produce its effect within lines so short and with accents so few as those which characterize the Hebrew original. At the same time I have sought to reproduce, or at least to suggest, something of its music and cadence, and to convey an impression not only of its spirit, but also of its form.

This book was released on 2015-07-09 with total page 294 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Wisdom Books, (Job, Proverbs, Ecclesiastes) Also Lamentations and Song of Songs, in Modern Speech and Rhythmical Form The generous reception accorded to The Psalms in Modern Speech and Rhythmical Form leads me to hope that the translation of other parts of the Old Testament, executed along similar lines, may be not unwelcome. This volume and its predecessor together comprise all the specifically poetical books of the Old Testament - that is, all the poetry that lies outside the prophetic literature and the sporadic poems or fragments of poems embedded in the historical books. In this volume, as in the other, I have endeavoured to let the writers speak to us in the language of to-day, and also with something of the music which haunts their words in their original form. Perhaps no translation of a poem can ever do it adequate justice; but even approximate justice is impossible where cadence and rhythm and all that make it a poem are deliberately ignored. For while thought is as essential to poetry as to prose, these things are of its essence too. Two impressions rise upon the mind from this conspectus of Hebrew poetry. One is that of its astonishing range and variety. Here, if anywhere, we come upon the humanism of the Bible; and here, if anywhere, Hebrew literature challenges comparison with the literatures of other peoples. These books breathe the spirit of the great world. The pessimism of Ecclesiastes is the voice of the weary souls of a hundred lands.

Download or read book Orality and Literacy written by Walter J. Ong and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2003-12-16 with total page 209 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This classic work explores the vast differences between oral and literate cultures offering a very clear account of the intellectual, literary and social effects of writing, print and electronic technology. In the course of his study, Walter J. Ong offers fascinating insights into oral genres across the globe and through time, and examines the rise of abstract philosophical and scientific thinking. He considers the impact of orality-literacy studies not only on literary criticism and theory but on our very understanding of what it is to be a human being, conscious of self and other. This is a book no reader, writer or speaker should be without.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A classic examination of superb design through the centuries. Widely regarded as a classic in the field, Experiencing Architecture explores the history and promise of good design. Generously illustrated with historical examples of designing excellence—ranging from teacups, riding boots, and golf balls to the villas of Palladio and the fish-feeding pavilion of Beijing's Winter Palace—Rasmussen's accessible guide invites us to appreciate architecture not only as a profession, but as an art that shapes everyday experience. In the past, Rasmussen argues, architecture was not just an individual pursuit, but a community undertaking. Dwellings were built with a natural feeling for place, materials and use, resulting in “a remarkably suitable comeliness.” While we cannot return to a former age, Rasmussen notes, we can still design spaces that are beautiful and useful by seeking to understand architecture as an art form that must be experienced. An understanding of good design comes not only from one's professional experience of architecture as an abstract, individual pursuit, but also from one's shared, everyday experience of architecture in real time—its particular use of light, color, shape, scale, texture, rhythm and sound. Experiencing Architecture reminds us of what good architectural design has accomplished over time, what it can accomplish still, and why it is worth pursuing. Wide-ranging and approachable, it is for anyone who has ever wondered “what instrument the architect plays on.”
