1 Samuel 7 Appropriate to New Year's Day, today's message highlights the faithfulness of GOD "hitherto" this very day! A beautiful poem reminding us of God's steadfast faithfulness: It fortifies my soul to know That, though I perish, truth is so: That, howsoe'er I stray and range, Whate'er I do, Thou dost not change. I steadier step when I recall That, if I slip, Thou dost not fall. Arthur Hugh Clough, 1819-1861

This is, in my mind anyway, very much a continuation of Bonhoeffer's religionless Christianity”.Music, "New Heaven", written by Andrew J.

Miguel Murphy's most recent book is  Shoreditch, which you can buy here.Arthur Hugh Clough is best known, according to the Poetry Foundation, "for his early, shorter poems and for the longer, later work that sprang from his intense religious doubts. He was an important influence on later poets such as T.S. Eliot, and his best work hints at the radical experiments and split subjectivities that would become the hallmarks of Modernism." The Encyclopedia Britannica says that the "long, incomplete poem Dipsychus most fully expresses Clough's doubts about the social and spiritual developments of his era..." You can read it here.William Shakespeare wrote plays and poems.Cormac McCarthy published Suttree in 1979.Thomas Bernhard's novel Frost was originally published in German in 1963. Michael Hofmann published a translation in 2006. Roberto Bolaño Ávalos was a Chilean novelist, short-story writer, poet and essayist.

He is considered one of the most important 20th century Japanese writers. His works include the novels Confessions of a Mask and The Temple of the Golden Pavilion.

Kirk and I recap what Plutarch wrote about Alexander the Great. In this second century text, Plutarch, 'one of the greatest biographers and moralists of all time', summarizes the lives of prominent Greek and Romans through his second century text, Plutarch's Lives.  With this discussion, Kirk and I stumble around Plutarch's biography of Alexander and ponder his life's moments outside the details of his conquest.  The goal of this discussion is to encourage our BAMF listener to read about Alexander's life and check out the other biographies in Plutarch's Lives.  This book edition 'originally published in 1683 in conjunction with a life of Plutarch by John Dryden, was revised in 1864 by the poet and scholar Arthur Hugh Clough, whose notes and preface are also included in this edition.'

A poem a day keeps the sadness at bay.

Say not the struggle nought availeth, The labour and the wounds are vain, The enemy faints not, nor faileth, And as things have been they remain. If hopes were dupes, fears may be liars; It may be, in yon smoke concealed, Your comrades chase e'en now the fliers, And, but for you, possess the field. For while the tired waves, vainly breaking Seem here no painful inch to gain, Far back through creeks and inlets making, Comes silent, flooding in, the main. And not by eastern windows only, When daylight comes, comes in the light, In front the sun climbs slow, how slowly, But westward, look, the land is bright.

The year was 1568, and we remember the curious utopian, Catholic, heretic, and freedom fighter against the Spanish, Tommasso Campanella.

Katie McGettigan is the author of Herman Melville: Modernity and the Material Text Peter Riley's most recent book is Whitman, Melville, Crane and the Labours of American Poetry Elaine Showalter is the author of the biography The Civil Wars of Julia Ward Howe Michael Schmidt is one of the founders of Carcanet Press You can find more information about research and events @Born1819 Listen back to or download the Free Thinking/BBC Arts& Ideas discussion about Ruskin, Bazalgette and Arthur Hugh Clough https://bbc.in/2TLoOfA Producer: Zahid Warley

The Latest Decalogue by Arthur Hugh Clough (1819-1861) Thou shalt have one God only; who Would be at the expense of two? No graven images may be Worshipped, except the currency: Swear not at all; for, for thy curse Thine enemy is none the worse: At church on Sunday to attend Will serve to keep the world thy friend: Honour thy parents; that is, all From whom advancement may befall: Thou shalt not kill, but need'st not strive Officiously to keep alive: Do not adultery commit; Advantage rarely comes of it: Thou shalt not steal; an empty feat, When it's so lucrative to cheat: Bear not false witness; let the lie Have time on its own wings to fly: Thou shalt not covet; but tradition Approves all forms of competition. The sum of all is, thou shalt love, If anybody, God above: At any rate shall never labour _More_ than thyself to love thy neighbour.
