GdN- Close friend of TG. Beautiful poem, Was aware of his anguished prose, but not of his poetry and his closeness to the great German poets.

TG: His poem "Art" nice indeed... my mind got side-tracked a bit at the word "marbles": my failing. NH: Poem should have been better proof "read", but is an interesting simple conversational piece about current events/health/incarceration which seems to be the major themes in his life.

HvC: The video was of Schubert's: Rosamunde, D.797 which was produced as "incidental music" to Helmina von Chézy's play of the same name. I looked for her poetry and could find no English translations after a moderate search. CB: Tragic end to his life; enjoyed his poem.
Blaga Dimitrova... https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Blaga_Dimitrova

HvC: I also found only poems in German. Typical romantic love poems.Found another version of D. 797. Sounds familiar.

TH: Quite prolific would be an understatement. Reading the c. 1600 English is quite an exercise... what will they think of our languages 500 years hence ?

Homer: I studied his works in school (Tragedy, Epic, and Myth) and recall learning many literary devices he used including the use of foils, especially in the Iliad.
Herodotus... https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Herodotus
https://www.brainyquote.com/quotes/a...herodotus.html
Homer: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Foil_(literature). One important new word in English. What was also new for meis that there is a translation of the Iliad by Pope.
Herodotus: I like this beginning:
"Here are presented the results of the enquiry carried out by Herodotus of Halicarnassus. The purpose is to prevent the traces of human events from being erased by time..."
Hesiod
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hesiod
"I would then that I lived not among the fifth race of men, but either had died before or had been born afterward. For now verily is a race of iron. Neither by day shall they ever cease from weariness and woe, neither in the night from wasting, and sore cares shall the gods give them. Howbeit even for them shall good be mingled with evil. But this race also of mortal men shall Zeus destroy when they shall have hoary temples at their birth. Father shall not be like to his children, neither the children like unto the father: neither shall guest to host, nor friend to friend, nor brother to brother be dear as aforetime: and they shall give no honour to their swiftly ageing parents, and shall chide them with words of bitter speech, sinful men, knowing not the fear of the gods. These will not return to their aged parents the price of their nurture: but might shall be right, and one shall sack the other’s city. Neither shall there be any respect of the oath abiding or of the just or of the good: rather shall they honour the doer of evil and the man of insolence. Right shall lie in might of hand, and Reverence shall be no more: the bad shall wrong the better man, speaking crooked words and abetting them with an oath. Envy, brawling, rejoicing in evil, of hateful countenance, shall follow all men to their sorrow. Then verily shall Reverence and Awe veil their fair bodies in white robes and depart from the wide-wayed earth unto Olympos to join the company of the Immortals, forsaking men: but for men that die shall remain but miserable woes: and against evil there shall be no avail.”

Can't recall reading Hesiod's works... will have to correct that.
