Kissalorusofia syntyy rakkaudesta kissoihin ja kunnioituksesta ja ihailusta niiden ainutlaatuisuutta kohtaan. Kissalorusofia on leikkisän hassuttelevaa ja vakavan pohtivaa ja ennen kaikkea kissuutta kunnioittavaa loruilua.Kissuuden ytimessä on kissalähtöinen runokirja, jonka runojen aiheet nousevat kirjoittajan vuosikausien yhteiselosta lukuisten kissaystävien kanssa. Kokoelman runot kertovat kissan kahtiajakoisesta luonteesta ja tavoittelevat erityisesti sen villiä sielua, joka jokaisella kotikissallakin yhä on jäljellä esi-isäkissojen perintönä.Tiedätkö kuka sohvallasi kellii? "Kun kehrään sylissä tai nukun kerällä sängyssä, ette osaa arvata, kuka olen todella." Kissuuden ytimessä sisältää 34 kissarunoa, joiden teemat liittyvät kolmenlaiseen kissuuteen: Kissamainen kissa, Täydellinen kissa ja Tuntematon kissa.Kissalorusofialla on yhteys Eeva-Liisan kehittämään purrfulnessiin. Purrfulness on tietoista läsnäoloa ja mindfulness-meditaatiota kissamaisesti ja kissan kanssa. Purrfulness alkoi kehittyä Eeva-Liisan mindfulnessohjaajaopintojen aikana ja siitä on tullut paitsi tietoisen läsnäolon tapa, myös kissalorusofian innoittaja ja kissafilosofisten ajatusten tulkki.

Bapuna Parna is a Gujarati Novel by Jhaverchand Meghani. It was first published in 1944.

Arteidolia Press 2024What happens when questioning how language is used and significance is given become the primary lens by which the poetic word decides to express itself? When fragmentation and cohesion are both equally at odds but also in harmony? When assurance and certainty avoid being present, however cannot help peeking through the cracks and letting themselves occasionally be known? The result may just be petal / transport. Mesiti's collection quickly becomes a sort of odd artifact that is unsure of itself and appears to hide behind what seems to be experiment but is also confident in the opportunity for poetic reflection it provides. Everything - from meaning to the space of the page itself - is up for grabs and intended to be explored."Reading James Mesiti, I am always overcome with the feeling that I have stumbled upon a trove of correspondence left on boulders, or under trees, gift-communiques between slightly mischievous nature spirits, fjallvættirscribbling to sjóvættir, which leave me feeling re-enchanted with the world." - Jay Kirk

BEAT! BEAT! DRUMS! Beat! beat! drums!¿blow! bugles! blow!Through the windows¿through doors¿burst like a ruthless force,Into the solemn church, and scatter the congregation,Into the school where the scholar is studying;Leave not the bridegroom quiet¿no happiness must he have now with his bride,Not the peaceful farmer any peace, ploughing his field or gathering his grain,So fierce you whirr and pound you drums¿so shrill you bugles blow. Beat! beat! drums!¿blow! bugles! blow!Over the traffic of cities¿over the rumble of wheels in the streets;Are beds prepared for sleepers at night in the houses? no sleepers must sleep in those beds,No bargainers' bargains by day¿no brokers or speculators¿would theycontinue?Would the talkers be talking? would the singer attempt to sing?Would the lawyer rise in the court to state his case before the judge?Then rattle quicker, heavier drums¿you bugles wilder blow. Beat! beat! drums!¿blow! bugles! blow!Make no parley¿stop for no expostulation,Mind not the timid¿mind not the weeper or prayer,Mind not the old man beseeching the young man,Let not the child's voice be heard, nor the mother's entreaties,Make even the trestles to shake the dead where they lie awaiting the hearses,So strong you thump O terrible drums¿so loud you bugles blow.

"The Pilgrim's Progress" is a Christian allegory written by John Bunyan, a Puritan preacher and writer, and first published in 1678. It is one of the most famous and widely read books in the English language. The full title of the work is "The Pilgrim's Progress from This World to That Which Is to Come; Delivered under the Similitude of a Dream.""The Pilgrim's Progress" tells the story of a character named Christian who embarks on a journey from the "City of Destruction" to the "Celestial City" (Heaven). The narrative is an allegory of the Christian life, representing the struggles and challenges believers face as they seek salvation and eternal life.Christian encounters various characters and obstacles along his journey, each representing different aspects of the Christian experience.

About the year 1834, when the earliest of the Sketches by Boz were appearing in print, a young composer named John Hullah set to music a portion of an opera calledThe Gondolier, which he thought might prove successful on the stage. Twelve months later Hullah became acquainted with Charles Dickens, whose name was then unknown to those outside his own immediate circle, and it occurred to him that he and ¿Boz¿ might combine their forces by converting The Gondolier into a popular play. Dickens, who always entertained a passion for the theatre, entered into the project at once, and informed Hullah that he had a little unpublished story by him which he thought would dramatise well¿even better than The Gondolier notion; confessing that he would rather deal with familiar English scenes than with the unfamiliar Venetian environment of the play favoured by Hullah. The title of The Gondolier was consequently abandoned, and a novel subject found and put forward as The Village Coquettes, a comic opera of which songs, duets, and concerted pieces were to form constituent parts. Dickens, of course, became responsible for the libretto and Hullah for the music; and when completed the little play was offered to, and accepted by, Braham, the lessee of the St. James¿s Theatre, who expressed an earnest desire to be the first to introduce ¿Boz¿ to the public as a dramatic writer. A favourite comedian of that day, John Pritt Harley, after reading the words of the opera prior to its representation, declared it was ¿a sure card,¿ and felt so confident of its success that he offered to wager ten pounds that it would run fifty nights!¿an assurance which at once decided Braham to produce it.

THE INN OF DREAMSSweet Laughter! Sweet Delight! My heart is like a lighted Inn that waits Your swift approach . . . and at the open gates White Beauty stands and listens like a flower. She has been dreaming of you in the night, O fairy Princes; and her eyes are bright. Spur your fleet horses, this is Beauty's hour! Even as when a golden flame up-curled Quivers and flickers out in a dark place, So is it with the flame of Beauty's face¿That torch! that rose! that wonder of the world! And Love shall weep to see¿when he rides by Years hence (the time shall seem as a bird's flight)¿A lonely Inn beneath a winter sky. Come now, sweet friends! before the summer die. Sweet Laughter! Sweet Delight!

THE LONELY DANCER I had no heart to join the dance, I danced it all so long agöAh! light-winged music out of France, Let other feet glide to and fro, Weaving new patterns of romance For bosoms of new-fallen snow. But leave me thus where I may hear The leafy rustle of the waltz, The shell-like murmur in my ear, The silken whisper fairy-false Of unseen rainbows circling near, And the glad shuddering of the walls. Another dance the dancers spin, A shadow-dance of mystic pain, And other partners enter in And dance within my lonely brain¿The swaying woodland shod in green, The ghostly dancers of the rain; The lonely dancers of the sea, Foam-footed on the sandy bar, The wizard dance of wind and tree, The eddying dance of stream and star; Yea, all these dancers tread for me A measure mournful and bizarre: An echo-dance where ear is eye, And sound evokes the shapes of things, Where out of silence and a sigh The sad world like a picture springs, As, when some secret bird sweeps by, We see it in the sound of wings.

THE JOURNEY OF LIFE Beneath the waning moon I walk at night, And muse on human life¿for all around Are dim uncertain shapes that cheat the sight, And pitfalls lurk in shade along the ground, And broken gleams of brightness, here and there, Glance through, and leave unwarmed the death-like air. The trampled earth returns a sound of fear¿A hollow sound, as if I walked on tombs! And lights, that tell of cheerful homes, appear Far off, and die like hope amid the glooms. A mournful wind across the landscape flies, And the wide atmosphere is full of sighs. And I, with faltering footsteps, journey on, Watching the stars that roll the hours away, Till the faint light that guides me now is gone, And, like another life, the glorious day Shall open o'er me from the empyreal height, With warmth, and certainty, and boundless light.

I. Youth. Sweet empty sky of June without a stain, Faint, gray-blue dewy mists on far-off hills, Warm, yellow sunlight flooding mead and plain, That each dark copse and hollow overfills; The rippling laugh of unseen, rain-fed rills, Weeds delicate-flowered, white and pink and gold, A murmur and a singing manifold. The gray, austere old earth renews her youth With dew-lines, sunshine, gossamer, and haze. How still she lies and dreams, and veils the truth, While all is fresh as in the early days! What simple things be these the soul to raise To bounding joy, and make young pulses beat, With nameless pleasure finding life so sweet. On such a golden morning forth there floats, Between the soft earth and the softer sky, In the warm air adust with glistening motes, The mystic winged and flickering butterfly, A human soul, that hovers giddily Among the gardens of earth's paradise, Nor dreams of fairer fields or loftier skies.

Essence of boredom! stupefying Theme! Whereon with eloquence less deep than full, Still maundering on in slow continuous stream, All can expatiate, and all be dull: Bane of the mind and topic of debate That drugs the reader to a restless doze, Thou that with soul-annihilating weight Crushest the Bard, and hypnotisest those Who plod the placid path of plain pedestrian Prose: Lo! when each morn I carefully peruse (Seeking some subject for my painful pen) The Times, the Standard, and the Daily News, No other topic floats into my ken Save this alone: or Dr. Clifford slates Dogmas in general: or the dreadful ban Of furious Bishops excommunicates Such simple creeds as Birrell, hopeful man! Thinks may perhaps appease th¿ unwilling Anglican.Lo! at Society¿s convivial board (Whereat I do occasionally sit, In hope to bear within my memory stored Some echo thence of someone else¿s wit),Or e¿er the soup hath yielded to the fish,A heavy dulness doth the banquet freeze: Lucullus¿ self would shun th¿ untasted dishWhen lovely woman whispers, ¿Tell me, please,What are Denominational Facilities?¿

Since we have had no stories to-night I will venture, Mr. President, to tell a story that I have heretofore heard at nearly all the banquets I have ever attended. It is a story simply, and you must bear with it kindly. It is a story as told by a friend of us all, who is found in all parts of all countries, who is immoderately fond of a funny story, and who, unfortunately, attempts to tell a funny story himself¿one that he has been particularly delighted with. Well, he is not a story-teller, and especially he is not a funny story-teller. His funny stories, indeed, are oftentimes touchingly pathetic. But to such a story as he tells, being a good-natured man and kindly disposed, we have to listen, because we do not want to wound his feelings by telling him that we have heard that story a great number of times, and that we have heard it ably told by a great number of people from the time we were children. But, as I say, we can not hurt his feelings. We can not stop him. We can not kill him; and so the story generally proceeds.

THE GREEN MOUNTAIN BOYS I. Here we halt our march, and pitch our tent On the rugged forest ground, And light our fire with the branches rent By winds from the beeches round. Wild storms have torn this ancient wood, But a wilder is at hand, With hail of iron and rain of blood, To sweep and waste the land. II. How the dark wood rings with voices shrill, That startle the sleeping bird; To-morrow eve must the voice be still, And the step must fall unheard. The Briton lies by the blue Champlain, In Ticonderoga's towers, And ere the sun rise twice again, The towers and the lake are ours. III. Fill up the bowl from the brook that glides Where the fireflies light the brake; A ruddier juice the Briton hides In his fortress by the lake. Build high the fire, till the panther leap From his lofty perch in flight, And we'll strenghten our weary arms with sleep For the deeds of to-morrow night.

Tokbar, musicien post-bartokien, sourcier, chamane, est aussi un poète post-pessoen. À la question « qüattendre de la poésie ? », il semble limiter la réponse à « la foudre ou le silence ». Les exemples ne manquent pas de poètes foudroyés par leur génie ou retirés pour toujours dans le silence. L¿alternative est dépassée par l¿insertion d¿un troisième terme : « qüattendre de la poésie ? » : « rien ». Voilà l¿humilité. Mais Michel Cassir décline ainsi ce troisième terme : « rien//l¿inconnu ». Et voilà l¿ambition. Ne rien attendre de la poésie, c¿est rester ouvert, et disponible à ce que l¿on ne connaît pas, et qui, incessamment, peut toujours nous surprendre. Le poète doit traverser l¿épreuve fascinante du principe d¿incertitude, se mettre en mouvement ascensionnel au c¿ur même des ténèbres pour amorcer l¿élévation. Cette « mélopée ancienne » qüon appelle poésie est un « cahier de route », elle « a de longs bras pour s¿emparer des miettes d¿infini. »Patrick Quillier

THE LORD'S PRAYER ON A COIN. Upon this quarter-eagle's leveled face, The Lord's Prayer, legibly inscribed, I trace. "Our Father which"¿the pronoun there is funny, And shows the scribe to have addressed the money "Which art in Heaven"¿an error this, no doubt: The preposition should be stricken out. Needless to quote; I only have designed To praise the frankness of the pious mind Which thought it natural and right to join, With rare significancy, prayer and coin. A LACKING FACTOR. "You acted unwisely," I cried, "as you see By the outcome." He calmly eyed me: "When choosing the course of my action," said he, "I had not the outcome to guide me.
