How do we choose? Why do we worry about what others think of us? Why do we doubt ourselves? Here are some of the questions the poet ponders, and delves into emotions that we experience every day. Each poem makes the reader realize that they are about our feelings or what happens to us, but we never really put into words because we take the simple things for granted.

An Anthology of Modern French Poetry (1850-1950) by Peter Broome,Graham Chesters Pdf
This anthology is the companion volume to The Appreciation of Modern French Poetry, the aim of which was to give detailed preliminary help with the problems of poetic appreciation. The fourteen poets represented here provide a varied and exciting introduction to what is probably the richest century of French poetry, from 1850 to 1950. Hugo, the colossus of the nineteenth century, whose work gives new resonance and vitality to imaginative vision, opens the anthology, and Michaux, the most individual and 'modern' of twentieth-century poets in that he bridges the gap between poetry and contemporary science, closes it. Almost all the major poets of the period are included: Nerval, Baudelaire, Mallarmé, Verlaine, Rimbaud and Laforgue from the second half of the nineteenth century; Valéry, Apollinaire, Supervielle and Eluard in the twentieth. The lesser known Cros and Desnos, fresh and spontaneous poets with an immediate appeal, invite a new look at the lyric traditions of french verse and offer an attractive new avenue for study. The choice of poems, dictated above all by their individual poetic value, reflects also the trends of recent criticism and the tastes of present-day readers. The texts are all accompanied by full notes, which not only explain local difficulties of vocabulary, syntax and expression, but lead the reader directly into the heart of the richness of theme, style and interpretation. These will prove of value not only to the student who is grappling with the basics of french verse, or is anxious to give depth to his familiarity, but to the general reader seeking to rekindle his enjoyment of French poetry. In addition, there are introductions to each poet summarizing the essence of his art, useful suggestions for further reading, and groups of dicussion topics to stimulate comparative insights and a wider responsiveness.

The Perfume Holder and Other Poems (Classic Reprint) by Craven Langstroth Betts Pdf
Excerpt from The Perfume Holder and Other Poems The Perfume-Holder Proud Naishapur, two hundred years ago, Inviolate from the galling Turkish foe, Like a warm opal dropped from Allah's hand, Lay glimmering on the green Khorassan land. Girdling the South, the desert's sandy coil Strangled the verdure and oppressed the soil; But East and North the languorous noon-day breeze Lifted the leaves of lime and tamarind trees Over the hills, within whose broken row The gleaming city watched the river flow. Along the camel track from Ispahan, Came tinklings of the nearing caravan, Trailing its parched, dust-cumbered passage down Into the market of the wealthy town. Piercing the vibrant ether, bold to view, A hundred minarets burned athwart the blue; The purple roofs of mosques, like sunset isles, Blazed all their panoply of porcelain tiles, While from the walls the names of Allah shone In many a scrolled and squared device of stone. Color and light loomed everywhere; their glow Burnished the booths and houses, row on row; They flamed across the palace court-yard flags And blazoned even the cringing beggar's rags. The darkling ponds and fountains steely-cold The sun's keen alchemy changed to shimmering gold; And marble cupolas and awnings white Flashed forth all splendid with reflected light; While green pomegranate leaf and pregnant vine About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

From Homer to Helen Keller, from Dune to Stevie Wonder, from the invention of braille to the science of echolocation, M. Leona Godin explores the fascinating history of blindness, interweaving it with her own story of gradually losing her sight. “[A] thought-provoking mixture of criticism, memoir, and advocacy." —The New Yorker There Plant Eyes probes the ways in which blindness has shaped our ocularcentric culture, challenging deeply ingrained ideas about what it means to be “blind.” For millennia, blindness has been used to signify such things as thoughtlessness (“blind faith”), irrationality (“blind rage”), and unconsciousness (“blind evolution”). But at the same time, blind people have been othered as the recipients of special powers as compensation for lost sight (from the poetic gifts of John Milton to the heightened senses of the comic book hero Daredevil). Godin—who began losing her vision at age ten—illuminates the often-surprising history of both the condition of blindness and the myths and ideas that have grown up around it over the course of generations. She combines an analysis of blindness in art and culture (from King Lear to Star Wars) with a study of the science of blindness and key developments in accessibility (the white cane, embossed printing, digital technology) to paint a vivid personal and cultural history. A genre-defying work, There Plant Eyes reveals just how essential blindness and vision are to humanity’s understanding of itself and the world.
Panama, or, The adventures of my seven uncles and other poems by Blaise Cendrars Pdf
Blaise Cendrars écrit la Prose du Transsibérien qu'illustre Sonia Delaunay. Le poème, explosif et plein d'amour dédié à la petite Jeanne de France, se développe sur 2 mètres. Nous sommes en 1913, la révolution est aussi du côté de Cendrars ! Aux Etats-Unis, un jeune pacifiste engagé politiquement, John Dos Passos, écrit Trois Soldats en 1921. Suivant d'autres ouvrages, et le même intérêt pour de multiples causes à défendre, dont l'affaire Sacco et Vanzetti et l'histoire de Jean Galmot pour Cendrars. Les deux écrivains se rencontrent à Paris et se prennent d'amitié. Cendrars, happé par le monde, se met à bourlinguer. Ses voyages le mènent, après la Russie, aux Etats-Unis, en Amérique du Sud. Ils donneront naissance à des épopées plus ou moins vécues, plus ou moins rêvées, qui électrisent encore le lecteur. Passionné par les poèmes de Cendrars, Don Passos décide en 1931, d'en faire une anthologie incluant le " Transsibérien ", " Documentaires ", " Formose ", etc, et l'illustre de bois gravés. C'est cet ouvrage resté introuvable, qui est aujourd'hui réédité dans sa version bilingue.
Perfume on the Page in Nineteenth-Century France by Cheryl Krueger Pdf
Despite long-standing assertions that languages, including French and English, cannot sufficiently communicate the experience of smell, much of France’s nineteenth-century literature has gained praise for its memorable evocation of odours. As French perfume was industrialized, democratized, cosmeticized, and feminized in the nineteenth century, stories of fragrant scent trails aligned perfume with toxic behaviour and viewed a woman’s scent as something alluring, but also something to be controlled. Drawing on a wealth of resources, Perfume on the Page in Nineteenth-Century France explores how fiction and related writing on olfaction meet, permeate, and illuminate one another. The book examines medical tracts, letters, manuscripts, posters, print advertisements, magazine articles, perfume manuals, etiquette books, interviews, and encounters with fragrant materials themselves. Cheryl Krueger explores how the olfactory language of a novel or poem conveys the distinctiveness of a text, its unique relationship to language, its style, and its ways of engaging the reader: its signature scent. Shedding light on the French perfume culture that we know today, Perfume on the Page in Nineteenth-Century France follows the scent trails that ultimately challenge us to read perfume and literature in new ways.

The Drunken Boat & Other Poems from the French of Arthur Rimbaud by Arthur Rimbaud,Eric Greinke Pdf
Text in English and French. Known only to literati since its original small press publication in 1975 and two subsequent small press editions, widely published poet Eric Greinke's innovative American versions of Rimbaud's best poems have received critical acclaim as the best translations of Rimbaud to date. Available for the first time as a full-length book, these translations have received high praise from fellow poets-translators such as Robert Bly and Leslie H Whitten. These versions restore the music and imagery of the originals for English-language readers. Greinke was among the first American poets to prioritise poetic elements in translation, breaking tradition with the more literal but less literate 'old school' approach. Contains 35 of Rimbaud's works accompanied by the original French, including Greinke's hauntingly evocative version of "The Drunken Boat", a poem considered by many to be the single best poem ever written in any language. Includes a twelve page introduction by the poet-translator and an index of first lines. A 'must have' for all students and readers of classic poetry.

Crossroads! Intersections physical and/or metaphorical demand processes of consideration, determination, decision and commitment. Stasis is no longer an option where convergence is poised before the unknown. Where categories such as gender, culture, ethnicity, socio-economic status, philosophy and religion clash, the multivariate process can reach such complexity that literary, sociological and psychological tools can have differing interpretations. Real-life intersections range from the mundane (choosing among food items on a menu according to taste preferences) to survival-determinants (evaluating the efficacy of various medical procedures). But such intersections are at the two ends of a very long continuum that takes in issues of form/function, and traditional vs.modern. For example, Home may be defined both as a physical place and/or a mental construct. In more esoteric contexts, artists chiefly known for visual production, representing their ideas with color and form, not infrequently cross media to paint with words. Philosophy, religion, art and literature cross paths via symbols and other visual and linguistic constructs. Writers deal with how and where their own or their characters multiple identities intersect. The Hispanic world is an extraordinarily vivid place to explore these crossroads. This collection of essays addresses a multitude of crossroads in numerous Hispanic contexts across the intersections of time & space/tradition & modernity. The contexts are wide-ranging; e.g., the visual, architectural: how Spains age-old oenological tradition meets modern technology, how the vestiges of long-term dictatorship lurk in the spaces of Spains democracy; and how space/architecture, and art/poetry cross in Latin America. Painters Pablo Picasso and Frida Kahlos productions cross the visual to the written; and magical realism products of the twentieth century Latin American artistic movement defy nature, science, time and space.
