‘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

This site connects our semesters remarkably well, for it is a famous Hill Country nature site. Previously it was owned by Walter Prescott Webb and he restored the land to embody his ideal "conservation of natural and human resources." Webb, J.

Meditation XVII

from Devotions Upon Emergent Occasions

Nunc lento sonitu dicunt, morieris.

Now this bell tolling softly for another, says to me, Thou must die.

 

Perchance he for whom this bell tolls may be so ill as that he knows not it tolls for him; and perchance I may think myself so much better than I am, as that they who are about me and see my state may have caused it to toll for me, and I know not that. The church is catholic, universal, so are all her actions; all that she does belongs to all. …. when she buries a man, that action concerns me: all mankind is of one author and is one volume; when one man dies, one chapter is not torn out of the book, but translated into a better language; and every chapter must be so translated. God employs several translators; some pieces are translated by age, some by sickness, some by war, some by justice; but God's hand is in every translation, and his hand shall bind up all our scattered leaves again for that library where every book shall lie open to one another. As therefore the bell that rings a sermon calls not upon the preacher only, but upon the congregation to come, so this bell calls us all; but how much more me, who am brought so near the door by this sickness. . . . Who bends not his ear to any bell which upon any occasion rings? but who can remove it from that bell which is passing a piece of himself out of this world? No man is an island, entire of itself; every man is a piece of the continent, a part of the main. If a clod be washed away by the sea, Europe is the less, as well as if promontory were, as well as if a manor of thy friend's or of thine own were. Any man's death diminishes me, because I am involved in mankind; and therefore never send to know for whom the bell tolls; it tolls for thee. . . .

 

John Donne 1624

 

When I have Fears that I may Cease to Be

 

When I have fears that I may cease to be

Before my pen has glean'd my teeming brain,

Before high-piled books, in charactery,

Hold like rich garners the full ripen'd grain;

When I behold, upon the night's starr'd face,

Huge cloudy symbols of a high romance,

And think that I may never live to trace

Their shadows, with the magic hand of chance;

And when I feel, fair creature of an hour,

That I shall never look upon thee more,

Never have relish in the faery power

Of unreflecting love;--then on the shore

Of the wide world I stand alone, and think

Till love and fame to nothingness do sink.

 

John Keats (1795-1821)

 

 

A winters day

In a deep and dark december;

I am alone,

Gazing from my window to the streets below

On a freshly fallen silent shroud of snow.

I am a rock,

I am an island.

Ive built walls,

A fortress deep and mighty,

That none may penetrate.

I have no need of friendship; friendship causes pain.

Its laughter and its loving I disdain.

I am a rock,

I am an island.

 

Dont talk of love,

But Ive heard the words before;

Its sleeping in my memory.

I wont disturb the slumber of feelings that have died.

If I never loved I never would have cried.

I am a rock,

I am an island.

 

I have my books

And my poetry to protect me;

I am shielded in my armor,

Hiding in my room, safe within my womb.

I touch no one and no one touches me.

I am a rock,

I am an island.

 

And a rock feels no pain;

And an island never cries.

 

 

Simon and Garfunkel,
“I am a Rock”

271-2 Bump, “Science, Religion, and Personification

1] Read Tennyson's #123 (from (In Memoriam), which focuses on the firmament of time. This is the poem quoted on the south side of the Hogg building, referring to the time when this part of Texas was at the bottom of the sea. Relate to the quote from Eiseley's Firmament of Time.

[2] Read "Evolution" on the debate between Darwinism and the literal interpretation of the Bible. Basically, the problem was the belief that fossils and multiple strata in the crust of the earth (more than seven) meant that Genesis could not be scientifically true if taken literally. This was not necessarily a problem for a Rabbi or a Jesuit priest, but fundamentalists, then and now, who insist on a literal interpretation of the Bible were and are troubled by this.

[3] In that context read poem #56  (In Memoriam), written by Tennyson when speculated on the meaning of fossils in "scarped cliff and quarried stone." In this poem "type" means "species." As you can see, to him, fossils provide that species could become extinct, and thus according to the Darwinian interpretation, homo sapiens also could become extinct. If this is true, he feared, churches and organized religion based on the Bible could become meaningless and "love thy neighbor as thyself" reverts to the war among dinosaurs and other "dragons of the prime." Eventually he solved the problem in the same series of poems (In Memoriam), but this is a famous statement of the predicament.

[4] Read our Darwin selections to see for yourself what Darwin said.

*Program states that the self-evaluation will not be graded, but it will, at least to the extent of giving a certain number of points for a good self-evaluation, and a certain number of negative points for no self-evaluation at all.

** Ignore the references to headings and subheadings. With regard to "flow" record every place you slow down if not stop when reading the essay, including at punctuation and proofreading errors if they slow you down.

 

We will read the building as an example of Modernism. We will read the Gutenberg Bible inside in the context of Victor Hugo's "This Will Kill That." Then we will focus on the writer as hero, exemplified by Lewis Carroll. Finally, to expand our horizons to other writers, we will read the etched windows of the HRC.
