"Only connect!  That was the whole of her sermon. Only connect  the prose and the passion, and both will be exalted, and human love will be seen at its height. Live in fragments no longer.”  E. M. Forster, Howards End (1910), ch. 22

"We go for a walk in nature, we see a beautiful sunset — we breathe the order in through our senses, we feel connected.

The inside begins to mirror the magnificent outside. In the Vedic tradition that connectedness is called 'yoga.'”

‘One day when I was twenty-three or twenty-four this sentence seemed to form in my head, without my willing it, much as sentences form when we are half-asleep, ‘Hammer* your thoughts into unity’. For days I could think of nothing else and for years I tested all I did by that sentence [...]”* William Butler Yeats, Winner of the Nobel Prize for Literature (*cited in Frank Tuohy, Yeats, 1976, p.51 )

"If I Had a Hammer .... I'd hammer out love between my brothers and my sisters/ All over this land”  words and music by Lee Hays and Pete Seeger

*hammer images "Thor's Hammer is a symbol of the struggle against chaos and evil. It's the weapon used by Thor against giants, monsters, and other trollish folk who threaten the common good. It seems particularly appropriate in these troubled times" (http://www.ragweedforge.com/ThorsHammer.html). See especially http://www.mackaos.com.au/Articles/Mjol.html

MAKE SURE TO KEEP IN MIND THE FOLLOWING ADDITIONS AND QUALIFICATIONS WHEN YOU REVIEW. IF, FOR EXAMPLE, YOU GIVE A HIGH GRADE ON ORGANIZATION TO AN ESSAY IN WHICH THE PICTURES ARE NOT EVEN VISIBLE, IT CAN ONLY BE ASSUMED THAT YOU FAILED TO READ THE ADDITIONAL BELOW AND THE INSTRUCTOR WILL INTERVENE AND GRADE YOUR REVIEWING ACCORDINGLY.

KEEP IN MIND THE SWORD CRITERIA ON OUR WEBSITE. IT IS ALMOST THE SAME AS THE CRITERIA YOU WILL SEE HERE, EXCEPT THAT FOR “FOCUS” IGNORE THE FIRST SENTENCE: "Is the organization of the paper clear through use of headings and subheadings?

FOR "ORGANIZATION" I WOULD ADD: "IS THE ORGANIZATION OF THE VISUAL AND VERBAL RHETORIC CLEAR? ARE THE PICTURES FULLY INTEGRATED INTO THE TEXT? ARE THEY DISCUSSED, OR AT LEAST REFERRED TO, IN THE TEXT? DO THEY HAVE HELPFUL CAPTIONS? ARE THEY ESSENTIAL TO THE ESSAY OR NOT? EXPLAIN TO THE WRITER YOUR THOUGHTS ON THIS AND HOW THEY MIGHT IMPROVE THEIR INTEGRATION OF VERBAL AND VISUAL RHETORIC. "

HOPKINS'S LETTER TO HIS BROTHER IN THE H.R.C.:

Every art then and every work of art has its own play or performance . . . books play, perform, or are played and performed when they are read; and ordinarily by one reader, alone, to himself, with the eyes only. . . . Poetry was originally meant for either singing or reciting; a record was kept of it; the record could be,was, read, and that in time by one reader, alone, to himself, with his eyes only. This reacted on the art: what was to be performed under these conditions for these conditions ought to be and was composed and calculated. Sound-effects were intended, wonderful combinations even; but they bear the marks of having been meant for the whispered, not even whispered, merely mental performance of the closet, the study and so on. . . . This is not the true nature of poetry . . . till it is spoken it is not performed, it does not perform, it is not itself.. . .

READ WITH YOUR EYES AND THEN COMPARE TO A PERFORMANCE

Spring


NOTHING is so beautiful as spring—
When weeds, in wheels, shoot long and lovely and lush;
Thrush’s eggs look little low heavens, and thrush
Through the echoing timber does so rinse and wring
The ear, it strikes like lightnings to hear him sing; 5
The glassy peartree leaves and blooms, they brush
The descending blue; that blue is all in a rush
With richness; the racing lambs too have fair their fling.

What is all this juice and all this joy?
A strain of the earth’s sweet being in the beginning 10
In Eden garden.—Have, get, before it cloy,
Before it cloud, Christ, lord, and sour with sinning,
Innocent mind and Mayday in girl and boy,
Most, O maid’s child, thy choice and worthy the winning.

 

MUSICAL PERFORMANCE OF "SPRING"

--------

The Windhover


To Christ our Lord


I CAUGHT this morning morning’s minion, king-
dom of daylight’s dauphin, dapple-dawn-drawn Falcon, in his riding
Of the rolling level underneath him steady air, and striding
High there, how he rung upon the rein of a wimpling wing
In his ecstasy! then off, off forth on swing, 5
As a skate’s heel sweeps smooth on a bow-bend: the hurl and gliding
Rebuffed the big wind. My heart in hiding
Stirred for a bird,—the achieve of; the mastery of the thing!

Brute beauty and valour and act, oh, air, pride, plume, here
Buckle! AND the fire that breaks from thee then, a billion 10
Times told lovelier, more dangerous, O my chevalier!

No wonder of it: shéer plód makes plough down sillion
Shine, and blue-bleak embers, ah my dear,
Fall, gall themselves, and gash gold-vermillion.

MUSICAL PERFORMANCE OF "THE WINDHOVER"

--------

God’s Grandeur


THE WORLD is charged with the grandeur of God.
It will flame out, like shining from shook foil;
It gathers to a greatness, like the ooze of oil
Crushed. Why do men then now not reck his rod?
Generations have trod, have trod, have trod; 5
And all is seared with trade; bleared, smeared with toil;
And wears man’s smudge and shares man’s smell: the soil
Is bare now, nor can foot feel, being shod.

And for all this, nature is never spent;
There lives the dearest freshness deep down things; 10
And though the last lights off the black West went
Oh, morning, at the brown brink eastward, springs—
Because the Holy Ghost over the bent
World broods with warm breast and with ah! bright wings.

MUSICAL PERFORMANCE OF "GOD'S GRANDEUR"

--------

 

Inversnaid


THIS darksome burn, horseback brown,
His rollrock highroad roaring down,
In coop and in comb the fleece of his foam
Flutes and low to the lake falls home.

A windpuff-bonnet of fáwn-fróth 5
Turns and twindles over the broth
Of a pool so pitchblack, féll-frówning,
It rounds and rounds Despair to drowning.

Degged with dew, dappled with dew
Are the groins of the braes that the brook treads through, 10
Wiry heathpacks, flitches of fern,
And the beadbonny ash that sits over the burn.

What would the world be, once bereft
Of wet and of wildness? Let them be left,
O let them be left, wildness and wet; 15
Long live the weeds and the wilderness yet.

MUSICAL PERFORMANCE OF "INVERSNAID"

--------------------------

The Sea and the Skylark


ON ear and ear two noises too old to end
Trench—right, the tide that ramps against the shore;
With a flood or a fall, low lull-off or all roar,
Frequenting there while moon shall wear and wend.

Left hand, off land, I hear the lark ascend, 5
His rash-fresh re-winded new-skeinèd score
In crisps of curl off wild winch whirl, and pour
And pelt music, till none ’s to spill nor spend.

How these two shame this shallow and frail town!
How ring right out our sordid turbid time, 10
Being pure! We, life’s pride and cared-for crown,

Have lost that cheer and charm of earth’s past prime:
Our make and making break, are breaking, down
To man’s last dust, drain fast towards man’s first slime.

Hopkins and Monet on Poplars with Stream

Binsey Poplars

felled 1879

My aspens dear, whose airy cages quelled,

Quelled or quenched in leaves the leaping sun,

All felled, felled, are all felled;

Of a fresh and following folded rank Not spared, not one

That dandled a sandalled Shadow that swam or sank

On meadow and river and wind-wandering weed-winding bank.

Of if we but knew what we do

When we delve or hew --

Hack and rack the growing green!

Since country is so tender

To touch, her being so slender,

That, like this sleek and seeing ball,

But a prick will make no eye at all,

Where we, even where we mean

To mend her we end her,

When we hew or delve:

After-comers cannot guess the beauty been.

Ten or twelve, only ten or twelve Strokes of havoc unselve

The sweet especial scene, Rural scene, a rural scene,

Sweet especial rural scene.

    Following up on remarks made about value of college degrees and the English major,  here are two important quotations:

    "In fact, eligibility for professional and managerial positions hinges more on social and personal attributes than having taken specific courses. It is here that having been at college teaches young people to fit into middle-class milieus. Among the qualities are diction and demeanor, verbal fluency, a more polished presence, along with knowing how to analyze assignments and carry them out." {1}

    {1}Andrew Hacker, "They'd Much Rather Be Rich," review of five books, New York Review of Books, LIV, no. 15 (Oct. 11, 2007):  31 -34, p. 34.

                “’One might say the following with some confidence. Language-as-speech will remain the major mode of communication; language-as-writing will be increasingly displaced by image in many domains of public communication, though writing will remain the preferred mode of the political and cultural elites.’" {2}
