A Villanelle

We talk about literature and its essence, trying to capture the inner secret of its Beauty and Truth. Here is a vain attempt to bridge interpretation and creativity. 

Villanelle for two

Somewhere in Drumcondra two are holding hands
Dancing in the orange light of silent streets
Nothing of themselves they do demand.

Only the sense of midnight pleasure to command
To roam the roads and their signs to read
Somewhere in Drumcondra two are holding hands.

Should they take a left or a right again?
It matters least, for of choice they felt all freed.
Nothing of themselves they do demand.

Rows of moonstruck houses their wary eyes do scan
'To be lost with you' is the essence of the creed.
Somewhere in Drumcondra two are holding hands.

It is what they do, it is what they can
To get entranced in a moment that should fleet.
Nothing of themselves they do demand.

To walk the streets and the hearts to mend
In night's secrecy they sometimes meet.
Somewhere in Drumcondra two are holding hands
Nothing of themselves they do demand.

Social expectations and individual anxieties concerning sex and sexual stereotypes in Ian McEwan’s On Chesil Beach

I.                   Introduction Unlike Atonement , where at the very beginning the reader encounters an epigraph from Jane Austin that more or less pre-supposes intertextual clues for further reading, On Chesil Beach does not offer such accommodating leading first steps into its highly condensed narrative. Preoccupied with a single event that provides multivalent analyzing points, the dramatic intensity of the whole book is encoded in that condensed way of telling. 

История и разказ в Случаят Джем на Вера Мутафчиева

История и разказ в Случаят Джем на Вера Мутафчиева “Палачът груб, до лакти в кръв, не е ли чиновникът с червени ръкавели, който историята пише? Вечно с работа зает.” К . Кадийски. “Площадът на Бастилията ” Аристотел говори за разказа като m y thos . Митът , с генеративните си способности да създава и обяснява света, се родее както с литературата, така и с историята. Но разказът също може да бъде мит, както вторичният мит е литературна фикция и както писането на историята превръща нейни участъци в митологични. Опълченците на Шипка е “правене” на литературен мит, оповаващ се на ars memoriae ( лат. - изкуството на паметта) . Няма да е пресилено, дори да сведем иносказателното патетично внушение на Вазовия цикъл до изповедното Августиново възклицание: “Велика е силата на паметта!”. И за да не се отдалечаваме прекалено - Батак, като частен случай, който като синекдоха може да се отнесе към цялото Априлско въстание, е типичен пример за историческо събитие, превърнало се...

Robert Frost - fire and ice in verse

Some say Robert Frost is one of the most significant poets in modern American literature. Some critics push him in the margins of American literature. In a sense, Frost stands at the crossroads of nineteenth-century American poetry and modernism. He is either modernist but never innovator or his poetry is traditional but in original way. One of the most popular of his poems and usually anthologized is called “Fire and Ice”. The poem was originally published in December 1920 in Harper’s Magazine. And then added into Pulitzer prize winner poetry book New Hampshire. Simple as a theme, mirror like in verse and thought to be inspired by Dante’s Inferno, this poem may as well be read as subjective piece of art inspired by popular theory at that time that regards the end of the world. The main focus is in the emotional aspect of the poem, which makes “Fire and Ice” all time classic and highly preferable piece to read. In the very beginning of the poem a conflict is stated, a conflict ...
