Shakespeare sonnet 186/27/2023 The reader can assume that this speaker is being used as a mirage to camouflage Shakespeare’s own desire for homosexuality. The main idea in this poem is focused on the beauty of the subject, whose looks hold such power, it infatuates the speaker. Much of Shakespeare’s work revolted against the capital obscurities of the Renaissance period, which is one of the defining linguistic features addressed within his 154 sonnets, of which 126 are addressed by a male speaker towards a youthful male muse. Sonnets regularly consider issues such as that of race, gender, and sexuality and poets can cleverly disguise the speaker’s love object dynamic to insert non-heterosexual states of desire into their work. When observing the Early Modern Sonnet form, it is noticeable how much of the content is engaged with issues of diverse minority groups.

From Baghdad, With Love by Jay Kopelman6/27/2023 Well, with great difficulty and that was a big challenge. How do you try to crack that nut in your new book? In your book, you're saying Bach's music is well-known, but we end up knowing very little in comparison about Bach the man. From his childhood interactions with Bach, Gardiner would grow up to become one of the composer's greatest champions, creating his own orchestras ( English Baroque Soloists and Orchestre Révolutionaire et Romantique) and choir (Monteverdi Choir) to play the music in historically informed performances. It's a scene Gardiner sets at the beginning of his new book, BACH: Music in the Castle of Heaven, published today by Knopf. Each week the musically inclined family gathered for serious singalongs, which included Bach's motets. Bach's music also hung in the air of the Gardiner home. It was one of only two fully authenticated portraits of Bach by Elias Gottlob Haussmann, painted around 1750, and came to the Gardiner home in a knapsack, delivered on bicycle by a Silesian refugee who needed to keep it safe during World War II. On his way to bed, he couldn't help glancing up at the famous 18th-century portrait of Bach that hung in the first floor landing of the old mill house in Dorset, England where Gardiner was born. Johann Sebastian Bach has been a central figure in the life of British conductor John Eliot Gardiner since he was a youngster. This rare portrait of Bach, by Elias Gottlob Haussmann, hung in John Eliot Gardiner's home during World War II.Ĭourtesy of William H.

Ma am darling by craig brown6/27/2023 What, you may reasonably ask, on this dying planet of ours at this moment of widespread argh and grr, would possess anyone to want to spend even a minute of their time reminding themselves of the past few years in British public life, from Brexit to the pandemic and beyond? Surely only a collection of Hyde’s livid, electrifying and viciously funny work for the Guardian. Let’s turn to Craig Brown’s 99 Glimpses of Princess Margaret.Here in the UK, where the book is titled Ma’am Darling, Margaret is an iconic figure and Brown is very well known as a satirist. While you’re at it, pick up a copy of Marina Hyde’s equally excellent What Just Happened?!, a collection of newspaper columns that functions as a phantasmagoric running commentary on our whiplash lives and times. This Christmas, don’t buy your dyspeptic uncle a novelty corkscrew, get him Haywire instead. All these are learned, punchy, and to the point. Revel in the skewerings of puffed-up public figures (Richard Dawkins, Alan Yentob), but also make time for wise and witty considerations of British painters (Stanley Spencer), writers (Kingsley Amis) and even an American rock star (Bruce Springsteen). Come for the merciless takedowns of attention-seeking gargoyles of our times (Piers Morgan, Jacob Rees-Mogg), stay for the insightful pen-portraits of peculiar, and peculiarly English, comedy legends (Kenneth Williams, Peter Cook). Haywire is a handsomely jacketed collection of Brown’s satirical columns, essays, reviews and more from the past 15 years, for publications including the New Statesman, Vanity Fair and the New York Review of Books, as well as the Eye.

The gunslinger stephen king6/25/2023 For the fish, the lake in which he lives is the universe. The child: Beyond the other galaxies? The father: No one knows. The child: Beyond the galaxy? The father: Another galaxy. The child: What is beyond space? The father: The galaxy. The child, who is most at home with wonder, says: Daddy, what is above the sky? And the father says: The darkness of space. Size encompasses life, and the Tower encompasses size. “The greatest mystery the universe offers is not life but size. Everything in the universe denies nothing to suggest an ending is the one absurdity.” And then to what? Tachyons? Nothing? Of course not. One may step down further to subatomic particles. The atoms themselves are composed of nuclei and revolving protons and electrons. Viewed at their actual size, the distances between these atoms might become league, gulfs, aeons. What seems solid to us is actually only a loose net held together by gravity. One reaches the point where a stunning realization strikes home: The pencil tip is not solid it is composed of atoms which whirl and revolve like a trillion demon planets. Or one might take the tip of the pencil and magnify it. What does the fish think when he is jerked up by the mouth through the silver limits of existence and into a new universe where the air drowns him and the light is blue madness? Where huge bipeds with no gills stuff it into a suffocating box abd cover it with wet weeds to die? Sensibly wed kasey stockton6/25/2023 I liked the second chance nature of this one.
