Paolo Lanaro"Fuga, ritorni"PoesieApogeo Editorehttps://www.remweb.it/scheda-libro/paolo-lanaro/fuga-ritorni-9791281386266-224.html“[...] Li senti, i giorni che fuggono come treni veloci nella pioggia, come navi che se ne vanno nella sera con vele gonfie e torme di cavalieri che cavalcano verso un tramonto viola; e lì incontri una ragazza a cui chiediamo di mutarsi in un'altra ragazza vissuta tempo fa, una donna che riappare oltre il Lethe tra gli asfodeli, maggiolino sul bronzo ossidato di una siepe; un viso piccolo e tenero che esce a Parigi da un métro e declina tutta la misteriosa, fertile differenza tra uomo e donna… lui tutto linee, margini, perimetri, razionalità e definizione; lei tutta sostanza. Con un unico possibile terreno d'incontro: una notte lunga, fiammante, rossa. Oh sì, l'inferno non è dopo. Era prima, negli anni dissipati. E Paolo va, nel sogno, attraverso città crollate, sentendo sempre la presenza dei mondi di sotto, rotti, squinternati e senza lumi; col Bacchiglione che sembra, o vorrebbe, tornare indietro alle sorgenti, fino alle soffitte dove i bambini che si svegliavano presto sentivano il vento volare sui boschi e cercavano di raggiungerlo, lontano, oltre i confini”.Dalla prefazione di Paolo RumizPaolo Lanaro ha esordito nel 1981 con una raccolta di poesie (L'anno del secco, Savelli) a cui ne sono seguite molte altre. Con Poesie dalla scala C (L'Obliquo) e Rubrica degli inverni (Marcos y Marcos) è stato finalista a due edizioni del premio Viareggio. All'attività di poeta ha affiancato spesso quella di critico e da qualche anno anche quella di scrittore, come testimoniano i memoir pubblicati da Cierre (Una tazza di polvere, Contro i venti invisibili, Ogni cosa che passa). Collabora con vari giornali e riviste. Vive a Vicenza, dove ha insegnato per anni filosofia. È socio ordinario dell'Accademia Olimpica.Paolo Lanaro "Un giorno dopo l'altro" Ronzani Editorehttps://ilpostodelleparole.it/libri/paolo-lanaro-un-giorno-dopo-un-altro/Paolo Lanaro "Rubrica degli inverni" marcos y marcoshttps://ilpostodelleparole.it/paolo-lanaro/paolo-lanaro-rubrica-degli-inverni/Paolo Lanaro "Versi spediti a una cassetta postale" Apogeo Editorehttps://ilpostodelleparole.it/libri/paolo-lanaro-versi-spediti-a-una-cassetta-postale/IL POSTO DELLE PAROLEascoltare fa pensarewww.ilpostodelleparole.itDiventa un supporter di questo podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/il-posto-delle-parole--1487855/support.

Better lock up your familial issues and not talk about things with your parents as we delve into possibly one of the worst fathers in Science-Fiction (at least this one has an excuse for emotional distance) as we talk about the most Vulcan of Vulcans, Spock (and Michael Burnham's and Sybok's) dad, Sarek. Is he well-meaning, or, as Miles believes, has definately eaten one of his own children like a Goya painting? Our first trip is to go Disco with ‘Lethe' as Michael Burnham discovers that her adopted dad has been offloading his guilt complexes onto her. Then in TOS' ‘Journey to Babel,' Kirk, McCoy and a whole bunch of alien delegates get caught between Spock and Sarek's personal drama and finally, in TNG's ‘Sarek,' Captain Picard faces a difficult choice with a man he so deeply admires and Patrick Stewart gets to indulge in ‘ACT-ING!'Live Long and Remember that a Family can just as much be a Found One as one you were Born into…Episodes Discussed: Lethe (07:12), Journey to Babel (31:39) and Sarek (58:00)Talking Points Include: The worst father's in Pop-Culture, Miles has been writing again HOORAY!, Charlie is playing A LOT of Super Mario Bros. Miles wants a ‘DISCO' shirt, CONTENT WARNING: Jokes on Baby Eatings, That weird thing with prequel shows when they talk about stuff that was a secret in the original show, Lorca is a shit, would Vulcans appreciate slapstick comedy? Fringe, how Miles' Britishness switches on a daily basis, we don't get enough Space Opera shows these days, an alien called Gav, We rate the strange aliens of ‘Journey into Babel' and how it might be one of the most Trek-like Trek episodes, does Wesley Crusher pull?, what is the slime for? Data pulling the ‘child upset his parents are fighting' trick with Picard and Riker, we don't get political… honest… Star Trek is apolitical, Picard wants more hijinks in his Diet, some actually good camera work in Trek.Pedant's Corner: Blatchington Mill is a High School in Brighton that Miles' mother definately felt was the runner-up to her wanting him to go to Dorothy Stringer (which he did)

"Discovery" is expanding the Bad Dad lore; we already knew Sarek wasn't great at the whole father thing, but when his adopted daughter dives into his subconscious in "Lethe", we find out he maybe gives Worf a run for his money. And in the B plot: an inappropriate Doctor/Patient relationship NOT involving Bashir! Also this week: judgy tech, Pokémon (somehow), and the multi-part conclusion!

Episode 12 – Lethe River by Envy of None off their 2023 EP That Was Then, This Is Now. This one goes to unexpected places.

We included that whole record as well, since it deserves to be heard! We hoist a shot in memory of The Professor, and proceed to listen to whatever the wheel lands on. You know the drill.

An episode from 9/23/24: Tonight, I read seven poems by the American poet, H. D. (Hilda Doolittle, 1886-1961). Over the course of fifty years her work – which includes fiction, memoir and translation – provides an incredible example of how a writer can handle mythology, mysticism, sexuality and autobiography. The poems can be found in Collected Poems 1912-1944: Sea Iris (1916) The Helmsman (1916) Adonis (1913-1917) Lethe (1924) Wine Bowl (1931) Eros (Uncollected/Unpublished poems, 1912-1944) Tribute to the Angels #29 (1945) You can support Human Voices Wake Us here, or by ordering any of my books: Notes from the Grid, To the House of the Sun, The Lonely Young & the Lonely Old, and Bone Antler Stone.

Merriam-Webster's Word of the Day for August 19, 2024 is: lethargic luh-THAHR-jik adjective Lethargic describes people who feel a lack of energy or a lack of interest in doing things. It is sometimes used figuratively, as in "a sluggish and lethargic economy." // The jet lag from their weeklong international honeymoon left them feeling lethargic for a few days. See the entry > Examples: "After igniting a somewhat lethargic, heat-exhausted audience in the fifth, [baseball player, Matt] Olson earned further cheers in the seventh as the Braves' onslaught continued." — Ginny Duffy, The Atlanta Journal-Constitution, 16 June 2024 Did you know? In Greek mythology, Lethe was the name of a river in the underworld that was also called "the River of Unmindfulness" or "the River of Forgetfulness." Legend held that when someone died, they were given a drink of water from the river Lethe to forget all about their past life. Eventually this act of forgetting came to be associated with feelings of sluggishness, inactivity, or indifference. The name of the river and the word lethargic, as well as the related noun lethargy, all come from lēthē, Greek for "forgetfulness."

M. Foss accidentally uses an inappropriate (or is it?) slur to refer to Captain Gabriel Lorca (here's a hint: it sounds an awful lot like the word "horror") and Ashley absolutely knocks it out of the solar system with her take on Sarek's journey with guilt.Content Warning: The "Urgent Care/Prescription" portion of the episode contains a discussion of death and dying.

The book has surfaced in the listing of an estate auction. Three agents are sent to the estate to retrieve the Prayerbooks before the auction is held.

Could the waters of Lethe flow within us, carrying away the echoes of past lives, leaving us with a clean slate for each new beginning? What might we discover if we could access the archives of our soul's journey?

Join us as we unravel these mysteries and ponder the profound implications they hold for our understanding of existence.

Welcome to all free spirits, wanderers, madmen and godless anti-metaphysicians! It is high time to drink from the waters of Lethe, and forget all that came before in this podcast. Today, we embark on a new phase of our voyage of inquiry, concerning Nietzsche's views on the origins of self-consciousness. We'll consider his remarks on memory and forgetfulness, found in his early essay Use and Abuse of History for Life, in the second essay of Genealogy of Morality, as well as some passages in Human, All Too Human & Wanderer and His Shadow. The expansion of self-consciousness is linked with punishment, revenge, debt, and the demands of civilization upon mankind. Episode art: Gustave Dore - The River of Lethe

Doomsong is a Roleplay Macabre set in a world on the cusp of a Biblical apocalypse. The dead are being turned away at the gates of Heall, giving them no choice but to return to the world above. You must subdue them, no matter how they feel about this arrangement. Inspired by medieval folkhorror, the Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse and European mythologies, these two beautiful hardback books are filled with artwork by the incomparable Moritz Krebs. Doomsong: Lord Have Mercy Upon Us puts tense horror at the heart of everything it does, giving GMs and party members alike an unforgettable experience. It is a system that prioritises player choice: will you brave the horrors of combat, parley obscene enemies into tenuous allies, or employ profane powers to twist the world about you? No choice is without risk, and you must weigh your strengths against the frailty of your mortal frame. In Doomsong, you play as gravediggers, members of the oldest guild in Painyme. Your organisation accepts anyone: highborn and low, from those skilled in swordsmanship to the very dregs of society. Creating a gravedigger is simple. You start by discovering your character's Origin—the social strata into which you were born—and then proceed by following the Life Paths that appear before you. Along the way, you make hard choices and suffer the whims of fate. Lord Have Mercy Upon Us is a full campaign full of story hooks, including 3 main storylines that span an entire map and countless smaller encounters, interesting characters, dangerous creatures and mysterious locations. Half a lifetime ago, the borderkingdom of Lethe vanished overnight, stolen by a blasphemous entity of untold power: Father Plague, Lamentide of Pestilence. It has long been foretold that the coming of Pestilence will mark the beginning of the End Times. So it has come to pass.

Teddy Duncan stood in the Duncan's Union headquarters overlooking the sunken district of The Stix, the working class neighborhood under the Lethe river. A grey late morning with a clear view out his window to the rail lines and steam cranes on the docks.

The House of Hades, ch. 27 to 32 It's a bit of a weird one this week on Unwise Girls! We talk about the sad passing of Lance Reddick, our plans for once we've finished all the books, stinky wiggly piggies, mixtures of old and old, the easiest way to defeat expert snipers, how Hazel's perspective on Jason intersects with Jason's self-image, shonen bullshit, how living through abuse connects to usage of the mist, too many stakes in the kitchen, twisting the knife, writing from experience, emergency Lethe dunks, and bootblacking.

Can a dark academia author recognize the names of demons? Can she tell us what really goes on behind closed doors in a secret society? Today, we're talking with Leigh Bardugo about her experience at Yale, the way hell is portrayed in her newest novel, and why demons and failed companies have eerily similar-sounding names. Hell Bent is the epic follow-up to Ninth House. Alex Stern thinks one can just casually go to hell and bring friends back, but the journey is a lot darker and more dangerous than she realized. This attempted rescue could cost her a future at Lethe and at Yale, and if she is going to survive, she'll have to reckon with the monsters of her past and a darkness built into the university's very walls.Get Hell Bent at bookofthemonth.com.

Description: An immersive reading of excerpts from Ode to a Nightingale by John Keats with reflection on tuberculosis and the good death. Website:https://anauscultation.wordpress.com/ Work:Ode to a Nightingaleby John KeatsMy heart aches, and a drowsy numbness pains My sense, as though of hemlock I had drunk,Or emptied some dull opiate to the drains One minute past, and Lethe-wards had sunk:'Tis not through envy of thy happy lot, But being too happy in thine happiness,— That thou, light-winged Dryad of the trees In some melodious plot Of beechen green, and shadows numberless, Singest of summer in full-throated ease. O, for a draught of vintage! that hath been Cool'd a long age in the deep-delved earth,Tasting of Flora and the country green, Dance, and Provençal song, and sunburnt mirth![…] That I might drink, and leave the world unseen, And with thee fade away into the forest dim: Fade far away, dissolve, and quite forget What thou among the leaves hast never known,The weariness, the fever, and the fret Here, where men sit and hear each other groan;Where palsy shakes a few, sad, last gray hairs, Where youth grows pale, and spectre-thin, and dies;[…] Away! away! for I will fly to thee, Not charioted by Bacchus and his pards,But on the viewless wings of Poesy,[…] Darkling I listen; and, for many a time I have been half in love with easeful Death,Call'd him soft names in many a mused rhyme, To take into the air my quiet breath; Now more than ever seems it rich to die, To cease upon the midnight with no pain, While thou art pouring forth thy soul abroad In such an ecstasy! Still wouldst thou sing, and I have ears in vain— To thy high requiem become a sod. Thou wast not born for death, immortal Bird!

Merriam-Webster's Word of the Day for December 17, 2022 is: oblivion uh-BLIV-ee-un noun Oblivion can refer to the state of something that is not remembered, used, or thought about any more, or to the state of being unconscious or unaware. It also sometimes refers to the state of being destroyed. // Like so many pagers of the 1990s, landline phones seem to be headed for oblivion. // After being awake for three days straight, he longed for the oblivion of sleep. // The sandcastles of summer had long since been swept into oblivion by the ocean waves. See the entry > Examples: “I'm not the only one who's been complaining lately that our art museums seem to have lost their nerve. In Artforum last year, for instance, [author] Alex Kitnick lamented that ‘the dream of the avant-garde museum ... has vanished into historical oblivion.'” — Barry Schwabsky, The Nation, 12 Oct. 2022 Did you know? Oblivion asks forgetfulness of us in both its meaning and etymology. The word's Latin source, oblīvīscī, means “to forget; to put out of mind,” and since its 14th century adoption into English, oblivion has hewed close to meanings having to do with forgetting. The word has also long had an association with the River Lethe, which according to Greek myth flowed through the Underworld and caused anyone who drank its water to forget their past; 17th century poet John Milton wrote about “Lethe the River of Oblivion” in Paradise Lost. The adjective oblivious (“lacking remembrance, memory, or mindful attention”) followed oblivion a century later, but not into oblivion—both words have proved obdurate against the erosive currents of time.
In this episode we find Aeneas getting closer to a reunion with Dad and maybe even an exit from this Hotel California. But, as we've seen throughout this epic, there's no gain without a healthy dollop of pain. First, there's a horribly awkward rendezvous with a departed Dido who goes all Ajax on Aeneas and ghosts him (literally!) Then we get a glimpse of Tartarus and hear the wretched cries of the damned under the whip of Tisiphone. Finally, the Blissful Groves and a veritable Who's Who of who slew, made it through just to drink Lethe's brew (whew!) All this plus a wrestling Jacob, Tolkien, and a jittery Dave steeling himself for another parade. Don't miss it.

In this eighth season of The Well Read Poem, we are reading six poems about birds. Since antiquity, birds have supplied rich material to poets, being by turns regal, charming, absurd, delicate, dangerous, and philosophical creatures. This season is dedicated to the animal lovers in our audience, particularly to Emily Raible who suggested the subject in the first place. Today's poem is "Ode to a Nightingale" by John Keats. Poem begins at timestamp 2:23. "Ode to a Nightingale" by John Keats My heart aches, and a drowsy numbness pains My sense, as though of hemlock I had drunk, Or emptied some dull opiate to the drains One minute past, and Lethe-wards had sunk: 'Tis not through envy of thy happy lot, But being too happy in thine happiness,— That thou, light-winged Dryad of the trees In some melodious plot Of beechen green, and shadows numberless, Singest of summer in full-throated ease. O, for a draught of vintage! that hath been Cool'd a long age in the deep-delved earth, Tasting of Flora and the country green, Dance, and Provençal song, and sunburnt mirth! O for a beaker full of the warm South, Full of the true, the blushful Hippocrene, With beaded bubbles winking at the brim, And purple-stained mouth; That I might drink, and leave the world unseen, And with thee fade away into the forest dim: Fade far away, dissolve, and quite forget What thou among the leaves hast never known, The weariness, the fever, and the fret Here, where men sit and hear each other groan; Where palsy shakes a few, sad, last gray hairs, Where youth grows pale, and spectre-thin, and dies; Where but to think is to be full of sorrow And leaden-eyed despairs, Where Beauty cannot keep her lustrous eyes, Or new Love pine at them beyond to-morrow. Away! away! for I will fly to thee, Not charioted by Bacchus and his pards, But on the viewless wings of Poesy, Though the dull brain perplexes and retards: Already with thee! tender is the night, And haply the Queen-Moon is on her throne, Cluster'd around by all her starry Fays; But here there is no light, Save what from heaven is with the breezes blown Through verdurous glooms and winding mossy ways. I cannot see what flowers are at my feet, Nor what soft incense hangs upon the boughs, But, in embalmed darkness, guess each sweet Wherewith the seasonable month endows The grass, the thicket, and the fruit-tree wild; White hawthorn, and the pastoral eglantine; Fast fading violets cover'd up in leaves; And mid-May's eldest child, The coming musk-rose, full of dewy wine, The murmurous haunt of flies on summer eves. Darkling I listen; and, for many a time I have been half in love with easeful Death, Call'd him soft names in many a mused rhyme, To take into the air my quiet breath; Now more than ever seems it rich to die, To cease upon the midnight with no pain, While thou art pouring forth thy soul abroad In such an ecstasy! Still wouldst thou sing, and I have ears in vain— To thy high requiem become a sod. Thou wast not born for death, immortal Bird! No hungry generations tread thee down; The voice I hear this passing night was heard In ancient days by emperor and clown: Perhaps the self-same song that found a path Through the sad heart of Ruth, when, sick for home, She stood in tears amid the alien corn; The same that oft-times hath Charm'd magic casements, opening on the foam Of perilous seas, in faery lands forlorn. Forlorn! the very word is like a bell To toll me back from thee to my sole self! Adieu! the fancy cannot cheat so well As she is fam'd to do, deceiving elf. Adieu! adieu! thy plaintive anthem fades Past the near meadows, over the still stream, Up the hill-side; and now 'tis buried deep In the next valley-glades: Was it a vision, or a waking dream? Fled is that music:—Do I wake or sleep?
