En Paz

Posted on March 2, 2015 by raoulpat

Until a friend asked me to copy this poem, I had never heard of the Mexican modernist poet Amado Nervo. His poem expresses Nervo’s feelings about his life and how fairly it has treated him.

What trash is Rome, what rubbish and what offal, when it serves for the base matter to illuminate so vile a thing as Caesar! . . . No one expresses his disgust better than Cassius does in Shakespeare’s Julius Caesar. . . . #resisttyranny #questionauthority #incompetentleader #criticizeyourgovernment #juliuscaesar #youreallsheep #shakespearequotes #drmartinsbleedproofwhite #bordenandrileypastelpaper #dogearedbookssf #calligraphybyraoul #cassiusfurioso

But how intolerable bright the morning is where we who are alive and remain, walk lifted up, carried forward by an effective word. From In Parenthesis, by David Jones, 1937 David Jones drew on his experiences in World War I while writing this epic poem. It recounts the horror and trauma of war. In Parenthesis, along with The Anathemata, established David Jones’s reputation as a writer.

Yes: I am a dreamer. For a dreamer is one who can only find his way by moonlight, and his punishment is that he sees the dawn before the rest of the world. From The Critic as Artist, by Oscar Wilde. The Critic as Artist was published in 1891 as part of a collection of essays titled Intentions. In this essay, Wilde maintains that critical contemplation is guided both by a conscious component and the soul. “The Critical Spirit and the World-Spirit are one.” On display at Dog-Eared Books on Valencia, SF. . . . #oscarwilde #lgbtpoets #lgbtauthors #oscarwildequotations #oscarwildequotes #dreaming #dreamers #imagination #importanceofcontemplation #blacklettercalligraphy #texturacalligraphy #calligraphiegothique #calligraphybyraoul #drmartinsbleedproofwhite #cansonmiteintespastelpaper #dogearedbookssf
