  Uplifted By Love - Striving Upwards

  This collection of poems titled "Uplifted by Love " is a collection of poems inspired by the author's quest for spiritual enlightenment . It affords the author an opportunity to share his perceptions about life; the high concepts of love, purity and the divining of the Holy Grail whose origin is not of this world. 
  And when we speak of love and purity the concept of true womanhood is naturally implied. In her beauty and grace woman represents the ideal of these concepts as she continues to be a source of inspiration and support to manhood. 
  Interwoven with our unquenched longing for development, these concepts draw us along on our paths of experiencing; through our joys, pains, sorrows , births and deaths until in the awakening to self-conscious activity we are more and more able to truly perceive the greatness of the All-Powerful and Omnipotent Source of All, Whose Justice never wavers but Who also showers us with abundant joys in His great Love! 
  For the man oppressed by the perplexity and sorrows that comes with the dark veil of ignorance induced by our spiritual slumber and lukewarmness, through the recognitions afforded by these concepts, he will find himself aroused to joyful activity; and as one "Uplifted by Love", now bent on sharing this love, he will be glad to find that he too can be a channel for this true love whose origin is the essence of our Great Creator The Living Light, God Almighty.

  Greek Tragedies, Volume II contains Aeschylus’s “The Libation Bearers,” translated by Richmond Lattimore; Sophocles’s “Electra,” translated by David Grene; Euripides’s “Iphigenia among the Taurians,” translated by Anne Carson; Euripides’s “Electra,” translated by Emily Townsend Vermeule; and Euripides’s “The Trojan Women,” translated by Richmond Lattimore. Sixty years ago, the University of Chicago Press undertook a momentous project: a new translation of the Greek tragedies that would be the ultimate resource for teachers, students, and readers. They succeeded. Under the expert management of eminent classicists David Grene and Richmond Lattimore, those translations combined accuracy, poetic immediacy, and clarity of presentation to render the surviving masterpieces of Aeschylus, Sophocles, and Euripides in an English so lively and compelling that they remain the standard translations. Today, Chicago is taking pains to ensure that our Greek tragedies remain the leading English-language versions throughout the twenty-first century. In this highly anticipated third edition, Mark Griffith and Glenn W. Most have carefully updated the translations to bring them even closer to the ancient Greek while retaining the vibrancy for which our English versions are famous. This edition also includes brand-new translations of Euripides’ Medea, The Children of Heracles, Andromache, and Iphigenia among the Taurians, fragments of lost plays by Aeschylus, and the surviving portion of Sophocles’s satyr-drama The Trackers. New introductions for each play offer essential information about its first production, plot, and reception in antiquity and beyond. In addition, each volume includes an introduction to the life and work of its tragedian, as well as notes addressing textual uncertainties and a glossary of names and places mentioned in the plays. In addition to the new content, the volumes have been reorganized both within and between volumes to reflect the most up-to-date scholarship on the order in which the plays were originally written. The result is a set of handsome paperbacks destined to introduce new generations of readers to these foundational works of Western drama, art, and life.

  "The Drunken Boat'' and Other...

  "The Drunken Boat" ("Le Bateau ivre") is a 100-line verse-poem written in 1871 by Arthur Rimbaud. The poem describes the drifting and sinking of a boat lost at sea in a fragmented first-person narrative saturated with vivid imagery and symbolism. It centers around the delirious visions of the eponymous boat, swamped and lost at sea, and is considered revolutionary in its use of imagery and symbolism. The poem is one of the longest and perhaps best poems in Rimbaud's œuvre, and is presented here with thirty five additional poems in one volume. (Narrated by Jason Rosette) 
  Jean Nicolas Arthur Rimbaud ( 20 October 1854 – 10 November 1891) was a French poet known for his transgressive and surreal themes, and his influence on modern literature and arts, prefiguring surrealism. During his late adolescence and early adulthood he produced the bulk of his literary output, then completely stopped writing literature at age 20, after assembling his last major work.

  The Poetry of Percy Bysshe Shelley

  Shelley is one of the most revered figures in the English poetical landscape.   Born on the 4th August 1792 he has, over the years, become rightly regarded as a major Romantic poet.  Yet during his own lifetime little of his work was published. Publishers feared his radical views and possible charges against themselves for blasphemy and sedition.  On 8th July 1822 a month before his 30th birthday, during a sudden storm, his tragic early death by drowning robbed our culture of many fine expected masterpieces. But in his short spell on earth he weaved much magic.  In this collection Shelley’s words are alive with intent, meaning and emotion. A true poet for all our ages.
