Merriam-Webster's Word of the Day for June 30, 2026 is: bereft bih-REFT adjective To be bereft is to be deprived or robbed of something, or to lack something that you need, want, or expect. Bereft is also used as a synonym of bereaved. // They appear to be completely bereft of new ideas. See the entry > Examples: "... this morning when I was going out to play in the gardens, I went to put on my favorite baseball cap since the sun was hot and, being bereft of my own natural covering, I wished to avoid a sun-scorched scalp." — Dick Brooks, The Daily Gazette (Schenectady, New York), 7 May 2026 Did you know? In Old English, the verb berēafian meant "to deprive of something." The modern equivalent (and descendant) of berēafian is bereave, a verb used to say that one has deprived or stripped someone of something, often suddenly and unexpectedly, and sometimes by force. Bereft comes from the past participle of bereave; Shakespeare uses the participle in The Merchant of Venice, when Bassanio tells Portia, "Madam, you have bereft me of all words." But by Shakespeare's day bereft was also being used as an adjective. The Bard uses it in The Taming of the Shrew, as a newly obedient and docile Katharina declares, "A woman mov'd is like a fountain troubled—muddy, … thick, bereft of beauty."

Harvard University and Bard College are facing renewed congressional scrutiny over whether their relationships with Jeffrey Epstein helped him rebuild his reputation and maintain access to elite academic circles after his criminal conduct was known. Representative Jamie Raskin, the ranking Democrat on the House Judiciary Committee, is demanding a fuller accounting from both schools, arguing that their previous internal investigations were incomplete or misleading. He is seeking records involving Epstein's donations, research funding, faculty relationships, admissions activity and institutional decision-making. At Harvard, the inquiry focuses partly on donations made after the university said it had stopped accepting Epstein's money, as well as his extensive contacts with former Harvard president Larry Summers and other academics. Epstein gave more than $9 million to Harvard and affiliated programs between 1998 and 2008.Bard is also being pressed to make outgoing president Leon Botstein available for a transcribed interview and to release the full findings of its investigation into his dealings with Epstein. Bard's independent review found no illegal conduct by Botstein, but concluded that he was not fully candid about the relationship, failed to recognize the risks Epstein posed to the college and its students, and did not disclose consulting fees received from an Epstein-controlled entity. Raskin cited evidence suggesting Epstein used his higher-education connections not only to rehabilitate himself socially but potentially to maintain and expand his exploitation of women. Harvard and Bard were asked to provide the requested information by July 1, as lawmakers seek to determine how prestigious institutions continued granting Epstein credibility, access and influence.to contact me:bobbycapucci@protonmail.comsource:Harvard and Bard face fresh questions from lawmakers over ties to Epstein | Jeffrey Epstein | The Guardian

Bliss in Triple Rhythm–A Toolbox for Poets: Nine Ways to Shape A Word Song: Shown in 300 Original Poems by Martin Bidney https://www.amazon.com/Bliss-Triple-Rhythm-Toolbox-Poets/dp/1987402561 Mmartinbidney.org This book of word songs in unexpected melodic patterns will surprise you by its equally unusual liveliness. I’m so eager to begin singing for you that, as you noticed, I’ve already written a prefatory poem in one of the varied kinds of triple rhythm units I’ll be illustrating (la LA la; weak STRONG weak; one TWO three; x/x). The strangest thing I’ll be doing in my collection is to bring about a resurrection of ancient stanza patterns embodying the musical structures I love. The uncustomary triple-rhythm stanza forms richly displayed will acquire a real if unlikely novelty by presenting tools so extremely old. About the author Martin Bidney, Professor Emeritus at Binghamton University (NY), writes poetry books that are dialogues. In “Shakespair” he converses in Shakespearean sonnets with the 154 that the bisexual Bard himself wrote in the 1590s about his boyfriend and girlfriend. In “A Unifying Light” Martin converses with Qur’anic passages on the topic of Jews and Christians in the Qur’an and the Islamic virtues they embody. “East-West Poetry” shows Martin replying, in poems, to passages from both the Qur’an and Rumi. “Poems of Wine and Tavern Romance” offers 103 dialogues between Martin and Hafiz, the 14th century Persian pub poet he translates, a Muslim Sufi who was bisexual, like Shakespeare, and whom Germany’s greatest poet, Johann Wolfgang von Goethe, called his “twin” brother! (Martin translates Hafiz from the same version Goethe used.) In fact, Martin has also translated Goethe’s own “West-East Divan” (divan means “collection”) and wrote conversational reply poems to all of Goethe’s 240 lyrics. Martin’s dialogue book with the greatest Polish poet, Adam Mickiewicz, contains, on facing pages, the sonnets he wrote in response to the “Crimean Sonnets” he translated from Polish. In “Like a Fine Rug of Erivan” he translates 39 Pushkin poems from Russian and recites them on a CD. His wide-ranging fascination with revelatory writing stems from “Patterns of Epiphany,” where Martin pioneered a method of analysis he has since applied to over 20 authors.

Fat Bard is one of those examples, and being hot off the heels of composing the Bubsy 4D OST, there was no better time to have them on to discuss their journey and the wide range of titles they've contributed to. The duo, Patrick Crecelius and Zach Fendelman, have been collaborating for about 15 years now, and we cover quite a lot, including some real-time revelations and work on a previous Atari project.

The Serpent's Strait Ch. 11We open with a bar brawl that ends quickly and decisively, leaving most of the patrons unconscious. Using his booming voice, Thorak, still disguised as Snorak, restores order before dragging the one of the instigators outside for questioning. The man admits he was sent, along with others, to eliminate the party on Blackburn's orders. But the interrogation is interrupted when a mysterious figure emerges from the alley, asking how the party can seemingly exist in two places at once. The stranger reveals himself to be Hanith Blackburn, who explains that his sister was likely behind the assassination attempt. After a tense but oddly conversational exchange, Hanith casually kills the would-be assassin by crushing his windpipe via telekinesis, leaving the party unsettled by his detached curiosity and apparent indifference to his family's actions.Shaken but focused, the group regathers and finalizes the plan for Operation Boomstick before their past selves arrive in town. Bob takes center stage with an elaborate performance designed to draw exactly the attention they need. The performance succeeds, catching the Priest of the King in Yellow off guard. The Priest follows the Bard to the location that the group set up. As they lure him to the spot he needs to be, the priest casts Web, briefly trapping Bob as he attempts to flee, but Bob is quickly freed. Elizabeth restrains the warforged priest just as Thorak shouts for everyone to run, hurling a flaming javelin into the planted andrite. The last thing the party hears before the massive explosion is the maniacal laughter of their enemy.There's so much happening, and that's where we pick up…Find out what happens next in this episode of the Medusa's Cascade: Blood & Booze!Theme Music is written and performed by EfflorescenceTitle Card by Pierce Graphics Mixed by Thomas Lapierre IIICheck out the show at themedusascascade.com Hosted on Acast.

"The dragons! The dragons are avaricious, insatiable, treacherous; without pity, without remorse. But are they evil? Who am I, to judge the acts of dragons?… They are wiser than men are. It is with them as with dreams, Arren. We men dream dreams, we work magic, we do good, we do evil. The dragons do not dream. They are dreams. They do not work magic: it is their substance, their being. They do not do; they are.” -Ursula K.

Athena appears to Princess Nausicaa in a dream and inspires her to go wash clothes at the river with her handmaids. Odysseus awakens, naked and brine-covered, and approaches the princess cautiously. He flatters her with rhetorical skill (comparing her to Artemis), requests aid without grasping her knees, and bathes privately. Nausicaa, showing courage, wit, and political savvy, provides him clothes, food, and careful instructions on how to approach the palace and supplicate her mother, Queen Arete, while avoiding gossip. The book ends with Odysseus praying to Athena in a sacred grove.Book 7 SummaryGuided invisibly by Athena, Odysseus enters the splendid, utopian palace of King Alcinous and Queen Arete. He supplicates the queen as instructed, pleading for passage home. The court is initially stunned into silence until an elder prompts hospitality. Odysseus is bathed, feasted, and given a seat of honor. Queen Arete recognizes her daughter's clothing and questions him; he recounts his arrival but omits some divine help. King Alcinous offers generous hospitality, promises to convey him home, and even subtly proposes marriage to Nausicaa (which Odysseus sidesteps). The Phaeacians are portrayed as peaceful, technologically advanced, and god-kin, living in an Edenic setting.Book 8 SummaryThe next day features athletic games, feasting, and bardic performance. A young Phaeacian (Broadsea) taunts Odysseus, prompting him to compete and win the discus throw, demonstrating his prowess. The bard Demodocus sings of the Trojan War (stirring Odysseus to tears) and the comic adultery of Ares and Aphrodite (trapped by Hephaestus's craft), which Odysseus enjoys. More gifts and dancing follow. Nausicaa bids Odysseus a quiet, flirtatious farewell. Alcinous finally asks his name, setting up the hero's full tale in the next books. The episode underscores themes of hospitality, craft over brute strength, and Odysseus's emotional vulnerability.Check out our 2024 playlist on the Odyssey too!KeywordsOdyssey Books 6-8 summary, Odyssey Books 6-8 analysis, Nausicaa and Odysseus, Phaeacians Homer, King Alcinous Queen Arete, Nausicaa beach scene, Odysseus Nausicaa temptation, guest friendship xenia Odyssey, Phaeacian utopia, Homer Odyssey podcast, Ascend Great Books Odyssey, Odysseus Nausicaa rhetorical exchange, Hephaestus Aphrodite song Odyssey, Odysseus weeping simile, Odysseus Alcinous marriage proposal, Phaeacian ships technology, Calypso vs Nausicaa, Odyssey Book 8 games bard, Odysseus craft over strength, Deacon Harrison Garlick Odyssey, Frank Grabowski Odyssey, Porch and Altar Substack.
