@paralyziingfears stabbed the heart.

A click of his tongue, oh, the way Michael was trying to hide the grimace fighting to spread across his features. Legs kicked up on the rundown couch as something akin to a irked exhale, or was it dejection lacing the sound ? " I may have lost my soul, but not my self-control. " Was he trying to convince David or himself ? Well, the way he felt pins and needles crawling beneath his skin would give that question an easy answer, if he was to acknowledge it.

Brand "New" List of Additions to the Arthurian Preservation Project Archive

In time, all books will be added to my Retellings List or Medieval Literature List respectively, and possibly a third page for handbooks/informational resources. Retellings may be under construction for a bit as I reformat to accommodate the influx in links. There are some duplicates—Alan Lupack's and Mike Ashley's anthologies occasionally contain a one-off story I've otherwise included in an individual volume of collected works by the author.

Links connect to corresponding PDFs on my Google drive where they can be read and downloaded for free. But if you like what I do, consider supporting me on Ko-Fi. I haven't yet read these listings in full; I cannot attest to their content or quality. A big thank you to @wandrenowle for the help collecting!

“Las cosas no cambian; cambiamos”

Henry David Thoreau

Fue un escritor, poeta y filósofo estadounidense nacido en Concord Massachusetts en julio de 1817, de tendencia trascendentalista y de origen puritano, considerado uno de los padres fundadores de la literatura estadounidense y conceptualizador de las prácticas de desobediencia civil.

Nació en el seno de una modesta familia de Nueva Inglaterra, su padre era un fabricante de lápices, y su abuelo materno dirigió cuando era estudiante una de las primeras protestas estudiantiles registradas en las colonias americanas.

Henry era el tercero de cuatro hermanos y su casa ha sido restaurada por una organización sin fines de lucro y está abierta al público.

Estudió en el Harvard College entre 1833 y 1887, vivió en Hollis Hall y tomó cursos de retórica, clásicos, filosofía, matemáticas y ciencias.

En 1835 tomó una licencia para impartir cátedra en la escuela de Canton Massachusetts renunciando al negarse a aplicar el castigo corporal, abriendo entonces junto con su hermano John la Concord Academy una escuela de gramática en Concord, en donde introdujeron una enseñanza aplicando varios conceptos progresistas, que incluían caminatas por la naturaleza y visitas a tiendas y negocios locales.

En 1842 el hermano de Henry muere al cortarse mientras se afeitaba, cerrando la academia.

Conoció a Ralph Waldo Emerson a través de un amigo mutuo, el cual tomó interés personal  incluso paternalista por Henry, presentando al joven Henry a un círculo de escritores y pensadores locales, incluidos el ministro estadounidense de la iglesia unitaria de Boston William Ellery Channing, a la periodista y activista por los derechos de la mujer Margaret Fuller y al famoso novelista y cuentista Nathaniel Hawthorne padre del que fuera un prolífico escritor Julian Hawthorne.

En 1845 se estableció en una pequeña cabaña construida por él mismo cerca de los pantanos de Walden con la idea de simplificar su vida y dedicar su tiempo a la escritura y a observar la naturaleza.

Thoreau se negó a pagar impuestos que le imponía el gobierno como protesta contra la esclavitud en las Américas razón por la cual fue puesto en prisión. Por este episodio fue que Thoreau escribió “Desobediencia civil”, escrito en 1849, en donde describe la doctrina de la resistencia pacífica que habría de influir más tarde en destacados activistas como Martin Luther King.

En 1854, viviendo en casa de Emerson, publicó “Walden o Vida en el bosque”, en donde narraba los 2 años y dos meses que había pasado en solitario en Walden Pond, teniendo como compañía exclusivamente a la naturaleza, utilizando el paso de las cuatro estaciones para simbolizar el desarrollo humano. Aunque tuvo pocos admiradores, los críticos posteriores han considerado esta obra como un clásico estadounidense, que explora la simplicidad natural, la belleza y la armonía, como modelo para las condiciones sociales y culturales justas.

En 1851, Thoreau se sintió cada día mas interesado por la naturaleza, los viajes de exploración y la botánica. Fue un admirador del naturalista William Bartram y del naturalista y científico Charles Darwin, lo que lo llevó al final de sus días a realizar escritos sobre historia natural y científicos sobre la regeneración de los bosques después del fuego o la destrucción humana.

Fue un entusiasta de los viajes y de los relatos sobre excursiones a tierras inexploradas, tales como David Livingston, Fernando de Magallanes, James Cook entre otros.

Al final de su vida contrajo tuberculosis en 1835 y en 1860 después de una excursión enfermó de bronquitis, pasando y corrigiendo sus trabajos inéditos. Sus amigos estaban fascinados por su tranquila aceptación a la muerte.

Cuando su tía Luisa le preguntó ya en sus últimas semanas de vida si estaba en paz con Dios, Thoreau respondió: “No sabía que nos hubiésemos peleado”. 

Thoreau murió en mayo de 1862 a la edad de 44 años, “Ahora viene una buena navegación”, como una de sus últimas palabras.

Thoreau es considerado como uno de los escritores estadounidenses mas importantes, tanto por la claridad moderna de su estilo en prosa como por sus opiniones sobre naturaleza y política.

Valentine’s Day isn’t just for romantic love. It’s also a great time to celebrate friendship and to tell your friends – or your best friend – how much they truly mean to you. So in this post I’d like to share 101 of the best, most genuine and lovely Valentines’ Day quotes for friends. Use one of a couple of them in a card to a long distance friend, a meaningful text or email to a dear work friend or coworker you have learned a lot from or just as a way to celebrate true friendship on social media or in a group chat with your closest friends. I hope you’ll find something helpful here to celebrate and deepen your relationship with your friends. Valentine’s Day Quotes for Friends “One’s friends are that part of the human race with which one can be human.” – George Santayana “True friends are never apart, maybe in distance but never in heart.” – Helen Keller “That’s when I realized what a true friend was. Someone who would always love you – the imperfect you, the confused you, the wrong you – because that is what people are supposed to do.” – Unknown “The most beautiful discovery true friends make is that they can grow separately without growing apart.” – Elisabeth Foley “Life is partly what we make it, and partly what it is made by the friends we choose.” – Tennessee Williams “Many people will walk in and out of your life, but only true friends will leave footprints in your heart.” – Eleanor Roosevelt “There is nothing better than a friend, unless it is a friend with chocolate.” – Linda Grayson “A friend is someone who understands your past, believes in your future, and accepts you just the way you are.” – Unknown “Each friend represents a world in us, a world possibly not born until they arrive.” – Anais Nin “Friendship marks a life even more deeply than love. Love risks degenerating into obsession, friendship is never anything but sharing.” – Elie Wiesel “Some people arrive and make such a beautiful impact on your life, you can barely remember what life was like without them.” – Anna Taylor “A friend is someone who gives you total freedom to be yourself.” – Jim Morrison “True friendship ought never to conceal what it thinks.” – St. Jerome “The royal road to a man’s heart is to talk to him about the things he treasures most.” – Dale Carnegie “A good friend is a connection to life — a tie to the past, a road to the future, the key to sanity in a totally insane world.” – Lois Wyse “True friendship can afford true knowledge. It does not depend on darkness and ignorance.” – Henry David Thoreau “Friendship however is a plant which cannot be forced — true friendship is no gourd spring up in a night and withering in a day.” – Charlotte Brontë “A friend is a person with whom I may be sincere. Before him I may think aloud.” – Ralph Waldo Emerson “True friends are like diamonds – bright, beautiful, valuable, and always in style.” – Nicole Richie “In the sweetness of friendship let there be laughter, for in the dew of little things the heart finds its morning and is refreshed.” – Khalil Gibran “Everyone has a friend during each stage of life. But only lucky ones have the same friend in all stages of life.” – Unknown “There’s not a word yet for old friends who’ve just met.” – Jim Henson “Distance means so little when someone means so much.” – Tom McNeal “Friends are the family you choose.” – Jess C. Scott “Every friendship goes through ups and downs. Dysfunctional patterns set in; external situations cause internal friction; you grow apart and then bounce back together.” – Mariella Frostrup “If you are ever lucky enough to find a weirdo, never let them go.” – Matthew Gray Gubler Valentine’s Day Quotes for Good Friends at Work “Don’t make friends who are comfortable to be with. Make friends who will force you to level yourself up.” – Thomas J. Watson “You can make more friends in two months by becoming interested in other people than you can in two years by trying to get other people interested in you.” – Dale Carnegie

“Anything is possible when you have the right people there to support you.” – Misty Copeland “The kindest way of helping yourself is to find a friend.” – Ann Kaiser Stearns “Close friends are truly life’s treasures. Sometimes they know us better than we know ourselves.” – Vincent Van Gogh “Real friendship or love is not manufactured or achieved by an act of will or intention. Friendship is always an act of recognition.” – John O’Donohue “Everyone you meet knows something you don’t know but need to know. Learn from them.” – C.G. Jung “A friend is one who knows you and loves you just the same.” – Elbert Hubbard “The greatest gift of life is friendship, and I have received it.” – Hubert H. Humphrey “Friends are those rare people who ask how we are and then wait to hear the answer.” – Ed Cunningham “The most memorable people in life will be the friends who loved you when you weren’t very lovable.” – Aidan Chambers “I value the friend who for me finds time on his calendar, but I cherish the friend who for me does not consult his calendar.” – Robert Brault “A friend who understands your tears is much more valuable than a lot of friends who only know your smile.” – Unknown “The best time to make friends is before you need them.” – Ethel Barrymore “When we honestly ask ourselves which person in our lives means the most to us, we often find that it is those who, instead of giving advice, solutions, or cures, have chosen rather to share our pain and touch our wounds with a warm and tender hand.” – Henri Nouwen “A friend is one who overlooks your broken fence and admires the flowers in your garden.” – Unknown “No person is your friend who demands your silence, or denies your right to grow.” – Alice Walker “True friends are those rare people who come to find you in dark places and lead you back to the light.” – Unknown “A true friend never gets in your way unless you happen to be going down.” – Arnold H. Glasgow Valentine’s Day Quotes for Coworkers You Respect and Like “One’s life has value so long as one attributes value to the life of others, by means of love, friendship, and compassion.” – Simone de Beauvoir “Each new friendship can make you a new person, because it opens up new doors inside of you.” – Kate DiCamillo “Friendship improves happiness and abates misery, by doubling our joy and dividing our grief.” – Marcus Tullius Cicero “Awards become corroded.

Ilustrações impressionantes e sensuais para uma rara edição de 1913 de 'Leaves of Grass' de Walt Whitman pela artista inglesa Margaret C. Cook

Por Maria Popova

Quando Walt Whitman, de trinta e seis anos, autopublicou Leaves of Grass no verão de 1855, tendo derramado todo o seu ser neste trabalho incomum e ousado de amor, ele caiu em ouvidos não receptivos e totalmente hostis — uma rejeição que devastou o jovem poeta. Mas nas décadas seguintes, em grande parte graças à extraordinária carta de endosso e encorajamento de Emerson , ele se tornou um dos livros mais amados da América — uma obra-prima protoviral que mudou para sempre a face e o espírito da literatura, ousada e fresca e repleta de "coisas incomparáveis ​​ditas incomparavelmente", criatural, mas cósmica, unindo o terreno e o eterno, mas maior do que ambos.

Vinte e um anos após a morte de Whitman, o criador da série Everyman's Library, JM Dent, publicou o que continua sendo a edição mais bonita do clássico de Whitman — um grande e luxuoso tomo encadernado em tecido verde, com o título estampado em dourado. Mas a curiosidade máxima desta rara e espetacular edição de 1913 — uma cópia sobrevivente da qual tive a sorte de adquirir na New York Antiquarian Book Fair — são vinte e quatro placas coloridas da artista inglesa Margaret C. Cook .

As ilustrações impressionantes de Cook, chocantemente sensuais tendo como pano de fundo o puritanismo, contra o qual Whitman encenou sua rebelião em versos, trazem algo de William Blake — particularmente suas gravuras para Paraíso Perdido ; algo de Maurice Sendak (que foi, é claro, moldado por Blake ) — particularmente suas ilustrações sensuais esquecidas para Pierre, feitas pelo contemporâneo de Whitman, Herman Melville.

Irradiando dos desenhos de Cook está a insistência insurgente de Whitman, como um homem queer e amante de toda a vida, de que o amor romântico e erótico transcende os parâmetros rígidos do heteronormativo — que o coração também contém multidões.

As cenas noturnas mais espetaculares de Cook são aquelas que fundem o sensual com o celestial — um complemento condizente com o fascínio de Whitman pela astronomia, que o levaria a escrever em Specimen Days um quarto de século depois:

Para acalmar e espiritualizar, e, na medida do possível, resolver os mistérios da morte e do gênio, considere-os sob as estrelas à meia-noite.

“Living beings, identities now doubtless near us in the air that we know not of”
