Podcasts about Eugene Field

Nestled in the heart of St. Louis, the Field House Museum recently reopened its doors after an unexpected restoration from a dramatic pipe burst that turned the historic house into a water park. Stephanie Bliss, the museum's dynamic executive director, joins hosts Arnold Stricker and Mark Langston to wade into the saga of recovery and renovation that the museum has undergone. The discussion kicks off with a vivid recounting of the unfortunate Christmas Eve incident when water cascaded down three floors of the historic site, leading to a restoration project that was both extensive and essential. Stephanie shares the behind-the-scenes efforts, including the artisans who meticulously restored the building's historical features, ensuring it remains a tribute to its past while embracing the future. As the conversation flows, we learn about the rich history of the Field House, tied intricately to the life of Roswell Field (Dred and Harriet Scott's attorney) and his famous son, poet Eugene Field. Stephanie shares the fascinating backstory of the house, built in 1845, and how it became a significant landmark in St. Louis due to the family's contributions to history, especially in the context of the Dred Scott case. The dynamic between the hosts and the guest is playful and engaging, peppered with light-hearted banter that keeps the audience entertained while educating them about the importance of preserving local history. Listeners will also get a glimpse into the museum's current exhibits, including a look at Eugene Field's life and works, as well as the intriguing toy collection honoring the poet's childhood passions. Stephanie's enthusiasm for the Field House Museum and its rich legacy is infectious, making this episode a delightful blend of humor, history, and a call to action for local heritage appreciation.

Eugene Field, born in the house, became renowned for his poetry, notably 'Wynken, Blynken, and Nod', which has inspired musicians and artists alike. The museum's toy collection honors Eugene's passion for toys, and currently features a Fisher Price exhibit that's a blast from the past. With its rich historical significance, the Field House Museum is a must-visit for anyone wanting to learn about St. Louis' cultural heritage.

Step into the mysterious realm of Eugene Field's short story "The Werewolf."

Book Title: The Romance of an Old Fool Author: Roswell Field Episode: Number 62 | Part 1 _____________________________________________________________________________________________________ "The Romance of an Old Fool" is a heartwarming and poignant short story written by Roswell Field, an American author, and poet. The tale revolves around an elderly man who finds himself reflecting on his past and reminiscing about a lost love. The story is set against the backdrop of a serene and picturesque countryside, where the old man resides. ______________________________________________________________________________________________________ About the author: Roswell Field (1851-1919) was an accomplished American author, lawyer, and poet, best known for his literary contributions during the late 19th and early 20th centuries. Born on October 30, 1851, in St. Louis, Missouri, he came from a family with a strong legal background, as his father was a prominent lawyer and abolitionist, and his uncle was the famous American poet, Eugene Field. Following in his family's footsteps, Roswell Field pursued a legal career and earned his law degree from Harvard Law School in 1872. He returned to St. Louis and embarked on a successful legal practice, gaining recognition for his expertise in various legal fields. Throughout his legal career, he also served as the Assistant U.S. District Attorney for Missouri and established a reputation for his dedication to justice and fairness. However, it was in the realm of literature that Roswell Field truly made his mark. He possessed a deep passion for writing, and his poetry and prose revealed a profound understanding of human emotions and experiences. Field's writing style was known for its eloquence and sensitivity, often capturing the essence of love, nature, and the complexities of life. ______________________________________________________________________________________________________     Additional Resources: The Romance of an Old Fool by Roswell Field http://www.loyalbooks.com/book/Romance-of-an-Old-Fool

As they cover the plot in these chapters, other ideas shared are the effective blending of modern technology with ancient wisdom in fighting evil, the many mythological and fairy tale elements in this story, the contrast between the true woman and the false woman, the parallels to Paradise Lost, and so much more.

Commonplace Quotes: He was one of that not uncommon sort of men who, when they want something, must believe that they are right in wanting it. Milton Waldman Wynken, Blynken, and Nod one night     Sailed off in a wooden shoe– Sailed on a river of crystal light,     Into a sea of dew. “Where are you going, and what do you wish?”     The old moon asked of the three. “We have come to fish for the herring fish That live in this beautiful sea; Nets of silver and gold have we!”                   Said Wynken,                   Blynken,                   And Nod. Eugene Field, from “Wynkin, Blynken, and Nod” During the period when the forces of Christianity were nearly spent and materialism had dislodged spiritual values, the Gothic novelists planned their novels with an awareness of the Deity and the consciousness of a just fate. The villains learn in due course that the wages of sin is death. Devendra Varma Sonnet 71 by William Shakespeare No longer mourn for me when I am dead Than you shall hear the surly sullen bell Give warning to the world that I am fled From this vile world with vilest worms to dwell. Nay, if you read this line, remember not The hand that writ it, for I love you so That I in your sweet thoughts would be forgot, If thinking on me then should make you woe. O, if, I say, you look upon this verse When I, perhaps, compounded am with clay, Do not so much as my poor name rehearse, But let your love even with my life decay, Lest the wise world should look into your moan And mock you with me after I am gone.

Updated: 9:11 a.m. When Heidi Adelsman was in fourth grade, her family told her she'd be going to a new school the next year. It was 1971 and Minneapolis was deeply segregated. Children attended public schools that were either mostly white or mostly Black, and schools with mostly Black students got fewer resources. Adelsman, who is white, said her family's home had been built with a racial covenant that legally prohibited anyone who wasn't white from purchasing the property. She remembers not going to play in the nearest park because it was considered the “Black park.” Tim Evans for MPR News Co-curator Heidi Adelsman reads over an installment in the Separate Not Equal exhibition at the Hennepin History Museum. “If you lived next to 35W, you couldn't move south of the racially restricted areas,” Adelsman recalled. “We were living in an apartheid Minneapolis up until the 50s and 60s in some ways. People were very restricted as to where they could live.” Adelsman is one of the curators behind a new exhibit at the Hennepin History Museum. “Separate Not Equal” tells the story of school desegregation and the pairing of Nathan Hale and Eugene Field elementary schools, which were less than 2 miles apart in south Minneapolis. But for Adelsman, the story is not just public history, it's personal. She was among the white students bused from Hale to Field when desegregation efforts started. “It was really a wonderful thing for me to go to Field and have classmates that looked like my family. For many of us, for myself and the family that I come from, from our values, it made a big difference in my life.”  Tim Evans for MPR News Co-curator Heidi Adelsman shows a photograph of former Minneapolis school teacher Bessie Griffin. These were classmates who looked like her African American brother, and that was in addition to a diverse teaching staff and curriculum. Adelsman and her family were excited to be part of the desegregation effort. But she remembers other white families who were against it. “People would see you in the store and walk away, call your house and say, ‘We're coming into your house in the middle of the night,'” Adelsman said. “There were some very real threats. This is a very Midwestern form of racism that we don't want to acknowledge. This is part of what perpetuates our segregation, white supremacy in Minneapolis, I'm afraid — is that we don't acknowledge this history.”  Tim Evans for MPR News Co-curator Cindy Booker points out a map depicting how Minnehaha Falls served as an informal demarcation for racial segregation in south Minneapolis throughout much of the 20th century. The exhibit documents pushback from white families, but there are also stories of success — school administrators navigating tricky situations and recruiting a more diverse staff with at least 10 percent teachers of color. And then there were the family and community interactions across racial lines that built new relationships and broke down racist stereotypes. “There were stereotypes about Field being a ‘less than place,' … this notion that the African American parents were uneducated at Field,” Adelsman said. “The African American parents at Field had very good jobs and were very educated … There is so much ingrained from white supremacy and racism that we can't see other people for the human potential and the humanity that we are.”  Adelsman isn't the only exhibit curator who lived through the Field-Hale pairing. Cindy Booker, who is Black, was in first grade when her mom got her ready to go to a new school as part of the desegregation effort. Tim Evans for MPR News Co-curator Cindy Booker looks fondly at a photograph of former Minneapolis School Board Member W. Harris Davis, Sr., who played a large role in pushing for educational racial integration. “My mom kept on saying, school's going to be different, you're not going to be able to walk with your brother and your cousins and you're going to have to take the school bus,” Booker said. For Booker and her family, the desegregation effort came with wins and losses. She got access to more resources at Hale, but she also spent more time on the bus. “The white parents and the Black parents with Hale-Field, they came up with a consensus of compromises. Each group got what they needed, not necessarily what they want,” she said.  Booker, who is one of the exhibit's curators, said the process of learning the history of desegregation in Minneapolis has revealed important lessons that can be applied now.  She was recently elected to fill a vacant at-large school board seat for Minneapolis Public Schools. She's taking many lessons from the exhibit into her new work. Booker was impressed by past leaders' commitment to design and follow-through on a program that breaks down stereotypes and racial divisions to get Minneapolis communities what they need.  The exhibit at the Hennepin History Museum runs through the spring of next year. Correction (June 6, 2022): An earlier version of this story incorrectly attributed a quote about busing. The story has been updated. 40 years later Minneapolis parents recall busing's start Reporter's notebook Being bused to school Full series North Star Journey What should we cover next? Pass the Mic Correction (June 8, 2022): A previous version had a misspelling of Bessie Griffin's name in a photo caption. The story has been updated.

Welcome to Campfire Classics, a Literary Comedy Podcast!! Everyone's favorite gameshow is back, and this time with special guest contestant, Wayne from the podcast Florida Men on Florida Man. With his insider knowledge of strange crimes and bizarre stories, can he help Heather find the lie, or will Ken prove too tricky for them?  Either way, Wayne is a great addition to the True Crimes and a Lie team.  Do not miss it. Once that craziness wraps up, we move on to our story.  Ken has selected "Daniel and the Devil" by Eugene Field, and Heather gives a fabulous reading which is interrupted by tangents that seem to be 80% more relevant than usual. This will delight many of our regular listeners.  If it disappoints you, don't worry, next week will probably be back the regular amount of non-sequiturs. This episode introduces such hard hitting issues as: Who is the hero we deserve? Is Satan one of our patrons? and What are the origins of "dude"? "Daniel and the Devil" was first published in 1888. Remember to tell five friends to check out Campfire Classics. Our guest, Wayne, came to us from Florida Men on Florida Man.  Learn more at www.fmofm.com So sit back, light a fire (or even a candle), grab a drink, and enjoy.    

This is Roald Tweet on Rock Island. If you passed through fourth grade any time before 1947, you, too, memorized Eugene Field's poem, "Little Boy Blue." That was where you learned about "the little toy dog" covered with dust, "but sturdy and staunch he stands" in the old armchair alongside the toy soldier red with rust, whose musket molds in his hands—faithful even in death.

Did you know, there is a belief in Celtic mythology that the bee, the humble bee acts as a messenger between our world and the spirit realm? They are long believed to enjoy the freedom of moving between the worlds sharing messages and information. Some also believe the wisdom of bees was given to them by none other than Druids. On this week’s episode we pause to acknowledge just how important the wee bee is to us in a practical and spiritual sense. Through tales and poems, we discover that the Good People also enjoy a close connection with the bee, occasionally taking their appearance and fiercely guarding their hives from those who would cause trouble. We also visit the ancient custom of ‘Telling the Bees’ and find that within its rituals we come to understand how we can better live alongside the Good People. * Fancy buying me a coffee?

Welcome monsters and ghouls to the final episode of my spooky new series of Writing into the Day (until next year, of course!). This series will feature texts that certainly go bump in the night and you may want to keep your lights on for some of these spine-chilling reads! Today's Spooktober podcast will be featuring a poem by Eugene Field. As I read this poem, I want you to think about the personification of the wind. The wind is characterized by the author as having human-like qualities. Why might the author have done this? What does this personification contribute to the tone of the text?

We’ve invited Tahira Taqi back to talk about her work as the Senior Project Manager for Urban Strategies on the Eugene Field choice neighborhood project here in Tulsa. Tahira will give us all the details, but, in short, within 5 years, 25 acres of land will be cleared and rebuilt, as the Tulsa Housing Authority carries out the mandate of the $30 million federal grant to transform the neighborhood on the west side of the Arkansas River. The plans call for a mix of apartment styles, built around a neighborhood designed for walking, with a 5-acre park and a grocery store. The housing authority residents who are moving out during reconstruction will have the first chance to return once it's done. Tahira is here to give us behind-the-scenes details about the project. And we asked Mark Davis to host this episode for two reasons. One is that he is the Association’s Chief Programs Officer. The other is because he once lived in an apartment complex in the Eugene Field neighborhood. And Mark understands the challenges people have faced there for decades.

Tahira Taqi is a proud American Muslim, community member and social justice advocate. She works as the Senior Project Manager for Urban Strategies on the Eugene Field choice neighborhood project and continues to be involved in area nonprofits and advocacy efforts. In this episode, Mike Brose, CEO of Mental Health Association Oklahoma, talks with Tahira about racism, inclusion, mental health and what she hopes for the future.

Today, we’re going to talk about a shape-shifter whose widespread legend has captivated minds for centuries, the werewolf. It’s a story we all know well: an unlucky someone is bitten or cursed and becomes a slave to the lunar cycle. Every full moon, he transforms into a wolf and roams the night, hunting. Try as he might to avoid the inevitable transformation— perhaps by hiding from the moon’s bright glow, maybe locking himself away in an isolated place— there is only one true escape, a silver bullet to the heart.Our story today is an adaptation of Eugene Field’s short story, “The Werewolf.”This episode was researched and written by Lindsey Morse. Niall Cooper assists with writing and editing, and was also our guest storyteller for this episode.

Guest Stephanie Bliss, Director of the Eugene Field House & Museum, talks about the children's poet, his famous father, and their link to St. Louis.

“韦肯，布拉肯和诺特，驾着一个木制鞋航行，航行在如水晶灯般的河流，露水聚集而成的海洋，月亮公公问这三个小不点，“你要去哪里？你们的愿望是什么”，我们来这里捕鱼，用金做的网，用银做的网，捕捉在这美丽的大海里生活的鱼儿......现在合上眼睛，听妈妈唱着你们在航程里会看到无比精彩的景象，那些美丽的点点滴滴，在这个薄雾覆盖的海上，让月亮公公带着你们三人航行”。“韦肯，布拉肯和诺特（Wynken, Blynken, and Nod）”，这一首在美国耳熟能详，原名“荷兰催眠曲（Dutch Lullaby）”，的童谣，从1889年起，就陪了无数的孩童们进入充满想象，神奇的梦乡。这首美国童诗作家尤金费尔德（Eugene Field）最为人所知的作品，曾被编曲做为童谣，也曾被拍成卡通短片，是一代代人成长中天真无邪的回忆。您知道吗，被誉为孩童诗人的尤金费尔德其实和丹佛还蛮有渊源的，正职是记者的尤金，曾受聘做过现在已停刊的丹佛论坛报（Denver Tribune）的专栏编辑，也因为这个机缘，在西卡尔菲斯街（West Colfax Avenue）上铸币局（U.S. Mint）的对面租了个小屋，在丹佛住过两年，在该报于1879年歇业后才开始创作让他成名的童诗。也因为这层关系，以泰坦尼克号幸存者而闻名的布朗女士在1927年买下了这座小屋做为尤金费尔德纪念馆（Eugene Field Memorial House），并且在1930年在丹佛市许诺会把小屋迁移到公园永久保存后，把这座小屋送给了丹佛市。而小屋的新址就是在1919年起就摆放了纪念“韦肯，布拉肯和诺特”这首传世童谣雕像的华盛顿公园（Washington Park）。这座大理石的“韦肯，布拉肯和诺特”雕像是科州雕刻家梅布尔托里（Mabel Landrum Torrey）的作品，作品捉到了三个小不点，既期待，又有点忐忑的神韵，是梅布尔托里最著名的作品，很长的一段时间和在宾州的青铜复制雕像一样，是摆在华盛顿公园儿童喷水池（Children's Fountain）中央的，但常年被水冲刷，让这座雕像满目疮痍，早已不复当年那白皙的神采。为了更好的保存，华盛顿公园把这座雕像复原后，从喷水池搬到了已经做为图书馆的尤金费尔德故居新址旁，直至今日。时过境迁，相信已经没有多少人在经过故居和雕像时还会记得它们的故事，而故居也因为年久失修，早已斑驳不堪，最近的雪风暴让一旁的大树压垮了屋檐，目前正在维修。但一旁的“韦肯，布拉肯和诺特”雕像上的三个孩子，还在远眺这华盛顿公园里的斯密斯湖（Smith Lake），似乎将要开启他们下一段的航程。故居和雕像的位置在Franklin和Exposition交口，圣约翰教堂和学校（St. John's Church & School）的对街。

Larry wonders if it's crazy to be crabby because of someone talking loud on their cell phone at the supermarket. And he makes an epic journey -- to the car wash.

“The fraud of men was ever so / Since summer first was leafy” — Balthasar’s song, Much Ado About Nothing In episode six, we look at that vexing question of whether or not Will Shakespeare was a complete and utter conman. We’ll follow those who dug up rivers, cracked codes, turned to grave-robbing, or occasionally just wrote really, really long books to find the answer. We’ll hear from Mark Twain, Sigmund Freud, William Wordsworth, and learn some surprising theories as to why Queen Elizabeth I was the Virgin Queen (or was she…?). It’s a journey from the 1560s to our era and back again, and somehow I manage to bring up Golden Girls, England’s greatest treasure hunt, George W. Bush and Dame Agatha Christie! Confused? You still will be after listening, but I hope you’ll enjoy this incredibly long investigation of the madness that is the authorship question.

An improvised piano piece underscoring "Wynken, Blynken, and Nod" by Eugene Field.

Dr Maya Corry (History of Art, Cambridge) Dr Victoria Mills (Research Fellow in English, Darwin College, University of Cambridge) Abstracts Maya Corry, Bodily beauty and the soul in Renaissance male portraiture It was a Renaissance commonplace that a skilled artist could produce a portrait of such naturalism that the subject appeared as if he or she were really present, and alive. Yet some Italian images of young men present sitters not as they were in reality, but as stunning beauties, idealised beyond recognition. Many such works were created in Milan in the late fifteenth century, when Leonardo da Vinci was living and working there, but this type of iconography was popular across Italy and endured into the sixteenth century. This paper will explore the implications of these artworks for historians interested in early modern concepts of gender and identity. It will investigate the way in which young men who were often derided for their effeminacy could turn to images to reformulate these discourses. It will also explore the significance of this iconography to religious beliefs and practices. Relationships with the divine were often mediated through artworks in this period, and the spiritual value ascribed to masculine beauty could play a central role in shaping devotional, as well as gendered, identity. Victoria Mills, Bibliomania and the Male Body in the Late Nineteenth Century Literary depictions of nineteenth-century bibliomania are riddled with the language of disease. Thomas Frognall Dibdin’s Bibliomania; or, Book Madness (1809), for example, is an account of the ‘history, symptoms, and cure of the fatal disease’. While late-Victorian bibliomania is often pathologised and placed in relation to discourses about heredity, degeneration and the fitness of the male body, this paper draws attention to a range of texts in which book collecting is depicted in positive terms. It explores sensory experience and eroticism in depictions of book collecting, focusing on the bibliophilic dandy-aesthetes and shabby bachelor book-lovers in work by Oscar Wilde, Joris-Karl Huysmans, George Gissing and Eugene Field. The paper examines fiction’s account of how men form and reinvent themselves through the act of book collecting and of how male subjects and book-objects blend, transform and physically alter each other. By introducing a phenomenological perspective on the corporeal experience of book love, the paper highlights the interplay of the senses as instrumental in the construction of masculine identities. I use depictions of book collecting to think about how the relationship between past and present is mediated through things and bodily objects and I discuss the alternative histories and genealogies that the individual’s affective investment in books may recover.
