davidteems.com/post/review-of… I was rereading this post and some Margaret Atwood poems. It was like a cool drink of water to a heady thirst. If it is true what Dostoevsky's Prince Myshkin said, in "The Idiot," and I am convinced it is, "Beauty will save the world." A hope worth hoping.
Concerning nationalism of the arts in the age of Poe: "We found ourselves daily in the dilemma of liking, or pretending to like, a stupid book the better because (sure enough) its stupidity was of our own growth, and discussed our own affairs." —Edgar Allan Poe, "Exordium" 1842
According to the Oxford English Dictionary, the Doge was a title given to the ruler of Venice [highest civil office] from the 7th century until the late 18th. Etymology: classical Latin duc-, dux n. Compare Italian duce (14th cent.; 13th cent. as duse; compare Duce n.). #doge
Majestic shadow, tell me: sure not all Those melodies sung into the World's ear Are useless: sure a poet is a sage; A humanist, physician to all men. —John Keats, "The Fall of Hyperion," 1.189
The great secret of morals is Love; or a going out of our own nature, and an identification of ourselves with the beautiful which exists in thought, action, or person, not our own. —Percy Bysshe Shelley, A Defense of Poetry (written 1821, pub. year 1840)
Today is the birthday of John Keats (1795-1821). Just coming into his own as an artist when he died, this poem was written during his annos mirabilis (1819), the year of his great odes. By then he was haunted by love and by the prospect of his own death. youtu.be/rsoSSm6I8w8?si…
I will be glad when this era of national self-loathing has passed.
Today is the birthday of American novelist Thomas Wolfe (1900-1938). Chief among my literary saints, this clip from his last (posthumous) book, demonstrates with an unsettling prophetic resonance, what Whitman meant when he said our best poets are seers. youtu.be/hS1zOt3zgoQ?si…
This is a wonderful treatment of Tyndale. He references secondary sources and biographies when needed, but spends the bill of the time presenting Tyndale in his own words from primary sources. Highly recommended Listen to Tyndale by @davidteems on Audible. audible.com/pd/1400224187?…
Like a piece of ice on a hot stone the poem must ride on its own melting. —Robert Frost, The Figure a Poem Makes
On canceling Shakespeare: To banish him from the classroom would deny aesthetic and canonical supremacy and its effects from the reach of those who would be forever altered—by its polish, by the fecundity and deep harmonies of its genius, and by its bright geometries of thought.

His mind is the horizon beyond which, at present, we do not see. —Ralph Waldo Emerson, "Shakespeare; Or, the Poet" (1850) We can say of the possibilities that yet remain, like Bottom’s dream or the poet’s cognitive and imaginative depths, “it hath no bottom.” Happy 460, Pops!

From what I understand, he felt he had to turn a kind of unspoken blind eye toward the execution of his mum, with the English inheritance, the golden round, at stake. I love this king. Appreciate your scholarship.

“Writing is a form of therapy; sometimes I wonder how all those who do not write, compose, or paint can manage to escape the madness, the melancholia, the panic and fear which is inherent in a human situation.” —Graham Greene
Even so, More was pitiless/soulless toward his reform “neighbors.” He had a real taste for burning flesh and in the confidence that he served God (and the pope) for doing so. It may have been monstrous times, but one has to have a monster in one to behave accordingly.
