Podcasts about Maurice Sendak

Like the movie of the same name, the poems we discuss here, Slushies, take on the cares of the world in an unrelenting torrent. In this episode, we discuss three poems by Harriet Levin which reference the Haitian writer and artist Frankétienne, Barcelona's as-yet unfinished Sagrada Familia cathedral, and the constellation of Orion, (for starters). We think about how poems featuring babies can avoid the sentimental (as we ultimately decide these do). We end considering the picture book chaos found in Maurice Sendak's Where the Wild Things Are as a counterpoint to real-world displacement. At the table: Kathleen Volk Miller, Jason Schneiderman, Samantha Neugebauer, Lisa Zerkle, Jodi Gahn, Lillie Volpe (sound engineer)   With thanks to one of our sponsors, Wilbur Records, who kindly introduced us to the artist is A.M.Mills whose song “Spaghetti with Lorraine” opens our show.  Harriet Levin is the author of three poetry books, The Christmas Show (Beacon Press, 1997), Girl in Cap and Gown (Mammoth Books, 2010), and My Oceanography (CavanKerry 2018). Her honors include the Alice Fay di Castagnola Award from the Poetry Society of America, The Barnard New Women Poets Prize, Nimrod's Pablo Neruda/Hardiman Award, The Ellen LaForge Memorial Poetry Prize, and a PEW Fellowship in the Arts discipline award. Her debut novel, How Fast Can you Run, a novel based on the life of Lost Boy of Sudan Michael Majok Kuch, was excerpted in The Kenyon Review and chosen as a 2017 Charter for Compassion Global Read. A 2022-23 Stein Family Foundation Fellow, she holds an MFA from the University of Iowa and teaches writing at Drexel University. Website: harrietlevinmillan.org

La seconda edizione di Ridda Selvaggia, Festival di Letteratura per l'Infanzia, si svolge a giugno 2025 nel Bosco Seleni a Lanusei, con eventi anche nelle scuole e biblioteche dell'Ogliastra Nel cuore verde dell'Ogliastra, tra i sentieri del suggestivo Bosco Seleni, torna Ridda Selvaggia, il festival di letteratura per l'infanzia che fa sognare grandi e piccini. Giunto alla seconda edizione, l'evento è promosso dal Comune di Lanusei e diretto artisticamente da Manuela Fiori, con il sostegno appassionato dell'assessora alla cultura Maria Tegas. Abbiamo intervistato entrambe per scoprire lo spirito profondo di questo progetto, che è molto più di una rassegna di eventi: è un inno alla natura, alla fantasia e alla memoria del territorio. Un festival che unisce comunità, libri e natura «Vogliamo riportare bambini, famiglie e giovani nel cuore della natura attraverso la magia delle storie», racconta Maria Tegas ai nostri microfoni. L'obiettivo del Comune è chiaro: fare cultura, partendo dai più piccoli, valorizzando allo stesso tempo il patrimonio ambientale del territorio. Ridda Selvaggia rappresenta una vera “rinascita culturale” nel bosco, animata da laboratori, letture e percorsi tematici che accendono l'immaginazione e rinsaldano i legami con la propria terra. Il luogo non è scelto a caso: il Bosco Seleni è un teatro naturale perfetto per vivere l'infanzia come spazio aperto, libero e creativo. Un'idea condivisa anche da Manuela Fiori, che spiega: «Ridda Selvaggia si ispira al capolavoro "Nel paese dei mostri selvaggi" di Maurice Sendak. La nostra è una visione di infanzia selvaggia, mutevole, che attraversa confini e paure grazie alle storie». Fiabe, stelle e silenzi: un programma ricchissimo Il programma 2025 si annuncia variegato e travolgente: oltre cento appuntamenti tra letture, danze, atelier, laboratori sensoriali, illustrazione e divulgazione scientifica. Tra le chicche di quest'anno, un percorso notturno a tappe ispirato alla fiaba di Hansel e Gretel, con spettacoli, danzatrici e performance immersive nel buio del bosco. Spazio anche ai più piccoli con laboratori per bimbi da 1 a 3 anni, e momenti speciali come il Silent Reading Party, dove si spegne il cellulare e si accende la lettura, immersi nel silenzio verde. Non mancano collaborazioni d'eccellenza, da Nati per leggere al Museo Radici di Palermo, fino all'Osservatorio Astronomico e al Nurarcheo Park. Un festival che abbraccia lettura, arte, ambiente e persino scienza, senza mai perdere di vista il cuore del progetto: far crescere cittadini consapevoli e creativi. Cultura e identità per il futuro dei più piccoli L'evento è solo uno dei tanti tasselli della visione culturale del Comune di Lanusei, come sottolinea ancora Maria Tegas: «La cultura è una forma di salvezza per i giovani. Vogliamo portarla ovunque, dalle scuole al bosco, con progetti sulla lettura ma anche sulla memoria storica e il canto a tenore, identità profonda del nostro territorio». Ridda Selvaggia è quindi un progetto educativo, sociale e ambientale, che guarda al futuro con radici salde nel presente. Un festival per i bambini, ma anche per la comunità intera, che riconosce nel bosco, nei libri e nelle storie, un patrimonio vivo da tramandare. Le iscrizioni ai laboratori sono aperte dal 5 al 12 giugno sul sito www.tuttestorie.it, mentre dal 13 al 15 giugno al Bosco Seleni.

Send us a textHave you ever felt trapped in the containers of life—those boundaries and expectations that keep you neatly planted where someone else thinks you should grow? Today's episode digs deep into the fertile soil of what it means to break free and bloom wild.Teresa Marie kicks off with a heartfelt dedication to her son Joshua—her family's "Jubilee" who brought joy back during a tumultuous time—before diving into a powerful exploration of containment versus wildness. Drawing wisdom from her gardening experiences, she shares how a simple epiphany while photographing flowers in containers sparked a profound realization about her own life's limitations.The centerpiece of this transformative episode is the story of Teresa's septic tank lid garden—a literal "lid over the shit" in her life that became an unexpected source of beauty. What started as perfectly arranged rows of annuals evolved into a thrilling wildflower garden that taught her about resilience, surprise, and authentic growth. "Wildflowers have minds of their own," she explains, "They are wild and some come up at the first part of spring, some the middle, and some don't bloom until summer. The beautiful thing is they're resilient, like us."This isn't just a gardening story—it's a vibrant metaphor for reclaiming our authentic selves. Teresa challenges us to examine where we've allowed ourselves to become contained, tamed, and limited by fears disguised as boundaries. She reminds us that inside each person is hope, fear, and adventure, echoing Maurice Sendak's beloved children's book "Where the Wild Things Are."Where are you growing right now? Have you outgrown your container? Perhaps it's time to allow your roots to spread deeper, your flowers to bloom wherever they choose, and your true nature to express itself freely.

Sergio Ruzzier"Io ero te e tu eri me"Ruth Krauss, Maurice SendakAdelphiwww.adelphi.itIn tutte le sue sfaccettature, la relazione più misteriosa e sconvolgente di cui fa esperienza un bambino: l'amicizia.Io ero te e tu eri me racconta la più misteriosa e sconvolgente relazione con i propri simili di cui fanno esperienza i bambini, nella realtà e nell'immaginazione: l'amicizia. Selvatica, vezzosa, simbiotica, ridondante, mimetica (con quella grazia un po' goffa del gioco) nei confronti dei cerimoniali previsti dai rapporti tra adulti, rude e romantica, spavalda e patetica, bizzarra e serissima – l'amicizia infantile esplorata in tutte le sue sfaccettature da un libro poetico e festoso.Testi di Ruth KraussIllustrazioni di Maurice SendakTraduzione di Sergio RuzzierRuth Krauss (1901-1993), nata a Baltimora, è una delle autrici per bambini più celebrate di tutti i tempi, vincitrice di due Caldecott Honor. Tra i primi a osservare e usare il linguaggio dei bambini, ha firmato moltissimi picture book con illustratori come Maurice Sendak, il marito Crockett Johnson (proprio da lei incoraggiato a dedicarsi al libro per bambini), Remy Charlip, Marc Simont e molti altri artisti, ed è autrice anche di poesie e opere teatrali in rima per adulti. I suoi libri, anche dopo tanti decenni, continuano a essere ristampati, e sono letti e adorati dai bambini di tutto il mondo. In Italia sono usciti per Topipittori Il seme di carota, illustrato da Crockett Johnson, e per Camelozampa Il giorno felice, illustrato da Marc Simont, e L'uovo felice, illustrato da Crockett Johnson.Maurice Sendak è stato uno scrittore e illustratore statunitense di origini polacche. Si appassionò fin da piccolo alla lettura a causa dei problemi di cuore che lo confinavano spesso a letto; prese la decisione di diventare un illustratore dopo aver visto il film Fantasia, all'età di dodici anni. Iniziò la sua carriera disegnando immagini per le vetrine del negozio di giocattoli F.A.O. Schwarz e creando illustrazioni di libri per l'infanzia. Alla fine degli anni Cinquanta iniziò a scrivere e a disegnare le proprie storie aggiudicandosi, nel 1970, il Premio Hans Christian Andersen e, nel 1982, il National Book Award. È noto soprattutto per l'opera Nel paese dei mostri selvaggi, albo illustrato per ragazzi pubblicato in Italia da Emme Edizioni nel 1968.Sergio RuzzierNato e cresciuto a Milano, a pochi passi dalla Chiesetta delle Lucertole, Sergio Ruzzier si è affermato negli Stati Uniti, a partire dalla fine degli anni Novanta del secolo scorso, come illustratore e narratore, collaborando con numerose testate, tra cui «The New Yorker», «The New York Times» e «Blab!».In seguito si è dedicato sempre più esclusivamente alla creazione di libri a figure, rivolti a lettori bambini ma non solo. Più recentemente si è cimentato con la traduzione di grandi autori americani quali Ruth Krauss, Maurice Sendak e James Marshall.IL POSTO DELLE PAROLEascoltare fa pensarewww.ilpostodelleparole.itDiventa un supporter di questo podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/il-posto-delle-parole--1487855/support.

We are finally back! Thanks to all our listeners for staying patient with us between Seasons 7 and 8! We are rolling, but we must tell you now: we are going biweekly. That's right: from time to time you might see some bonus content on Sundays but regular season stuff will be biweekly. Don't fret! Absence makes the heart grow fonder and we hope you find your fondness for our biweekly quizzing fete.This episode has us back on our favourite game type called "This or That" where Will and Daniel choose one of two categories in the "This" round, and then one of two categories in the "That" round. The leftovers from both rounds are punted to next episode where they form the category choices for the "This" round, and the "That" round is two new category choices!This episodes sets includes Guns (not just the pew pew variety!), "That's an interesting way to say that", Good, and Denmark.**At about 13 minutes, Daniel mentions the Rootabaga stories (though he calls them "tales"). They weren't written by Maurice Sendak. They were written by Carl Sandburg, better known for his Pulitzer-winning Chicago Poems and biography of Abraham Lincoln

The 60s produced a Baby Boom generation that catalyzed the dawn of a new era—the space age, the age of television, the global age, and the beginnings of civil rights. At the same time, a new paradigm for parenting was unfolding that put emphasis on permissiveness, defined by what it permitted – the free and unfettered impulses of children. Others worried that the wildness of children, personified by the characters in Maurice Sendak's 1963 classic children's book, Where the Wild Things Are, was destructive, disruptive and disrespectful. Where the Wild Things Were: Boyhood and Permissive Parenting in Postwar America (NYU Press, 2025) centers on the exploding, contentious national conversation about the nature of childhood and parenting in the postwar US emblematized by Dr. Spock's Baby and Child Care. Renowned scholar Henry Jenkins demonstrates that the language that shaped a growing field of advice literature for parents also informed the period's fictions—in film, television, comics, children's books, and elsewhere—produced for and consumed by children. In particular, Jenkins demonstrates, the era's emblematic child was the boy in the striped shirt: white, male, suburban, middle class, Christian, and above all, American. Weaving together intellectual histories and popular texts, Jenkins shows how boy protagonists became embodiments of permissive child rearing, as well as the social ideals and contradictions that permissiveness entailed. From Peanuts comic strips and TV specials to The Cat in the Hat, Dennis the Menace, and Jonny Quest, the book reveals how childhood and the stories about it became central to Cold War concerns with democracy, citizenship, globalization, the space race, science, race relations, gender, and sexuality. Written by a former boy in a striped shirt, Where the Wild Things Were explores iconic works, from Mary Poppins to Lost in Space, contextualizing them through a critical but respectful engagement with the core animating ideas of the permissive imagination.

Where the Wild Things Were: Boyhood and Permissive Parenting in Postwar America (NYU Press, 2025) centers on the exploding, contentious national conversation about the nature of childhood and parenting in the postwar US emblematized by Dr. Spock's Baby and Child Care. Renowned scholar Henry Jenkins demonstrates that the language that shaped a growing field of advice literature for parents also informed the period's fictions—in film, television, comics, children's books, and elsewhere—produced for and consumed by children. In particular, Jenkins demonstrates, the era's emblematic child was the boy in the striped shirt: white, male, suburban, middle class, Christian, and above all, American. Weaving together intellectual histories and popular texts, Jenkins shows how boy protagonists became embodiments of permissive child rearing, as well as the social ideals and contradictions that permissiveness entailed. From Peanuts comic strips and TV specials to The Cat in the Hat, Dennis the Menace, and Jonny Quest, the book reveals how childhood and the stories about it became central to Cold War concerns with democracy, citizenship, globalization, the space race, science, race relations, gender, and sexuality. Written by a former boy in a striped shirt, Where the Wild Things Were explores iconic works, from Mary Poppins to Lost in Space, contextualizing them through a critical but respectful engagement with the core animating ideas of the permissive imagination.

The 60s produced a Baby Boom generation that catalyzed the dawn of a new era—the space age, the age of television, the global age, and the beginnings of civil rights.

Er wordt met reikende zwanenhalzen uitgekeken naar het nieuwe boek van Annet Schaap. Geen vervolg op haar veel bekroonde 'Lampje', maar een wervelend avontuur dat zich wel in dezelfde wereld afspeelt. In deze Grote Vriendelijke Update praat Annet Schaap voor het eerst over 'Krekel', dat op 8 maart verschijnt en is gebaseerd op het Andersen-sprookje 'De wilde zwanen'. Ze vertelt aan kinderboekrecensenten Jaap Friso (JaapLeest.nl) en Bas Maliepaard (Trouw) hoe ze met dit verhaal begon in de moderne wereld, maar steeds bleef terug verlangen naar de wereld van haar debuut.

Episode 456 Brian Boucher is an art writer, journalist and critic living in New York, with bylines at publications including the New York Times, New York Magazine, Artnet News, ARTnews, and many others. He previously served as a staff writer and editor at Art in America and a staff writer at Artnet News. He writes about crazy artists' projects (such as when Darren Bader offered his practice for sale), reports on the art market, covers developments in the art education field, and often reports on places where the art world and the wider world intersect, such as the potential cultural impact of the second Trump presidency and how Syrian artists and other cultural figures are looking ahead to a post-Assad era.  Here, he looks back on some of the shows, events and artworks that moved him in 2024, some of which he wrote about, including Bruce Nauman's current show at Sperone Westwater, Marlon Mullen's current show at MoMA, Guillaume Guillon Lethiere's recent show at the Clark Art Institute, now at the Louvre, Christopher Wool's recent self-organized show at a disused Lower Manhattan office space, the collective MSCHF's piece “Met's Sink of Theseus" in their recent Perrotin show, and some he didn't write about, like the Maurice Sendak exhibition now at the Denver Art Museum and the Siena exhibition now at the Metropolitan Museum of Art.  He also talked about some of the live music that turned his crank in 2024, including Soul Coughing, Tigue, and the Jesus Lizard, and looks ahead to the farewell tour of the legendary British punk band Gang of Four.

Giuseppe Castellano talks to Caldecott Medal-winning illustrator, Paul O. Zelinsky, about what his former Yale professor, Maurice Sendak, thought about social media; why he's aways wondering at point he can get away with not being good enough; where illustrators can find validation (hint: it's not in an award); and more.

In this episode we are joined by Paul O. Zelinsky!Paul O. Zelinsky grew up in Wilmette, Illinois, the son of a mathematics professor father and a medical illustrator mother. He drew compulsively from an early age, but did not know until college that this would be his career. As a Sophomore in Yale College he enrolled in a course on the history and practice of the picture book, co-taught by an English professor and Maurice Sendak. This experience inspired Paul to point himself in the direction of children's books. His first book appeared in 1978, since which time he has become recognized as one of the most inventive and critically successful artists in the field.He now lives with his wife in Brooklyn, New York. They have two grown daughters.Among many other awards and prizes, he received the 1998 Caldecott Medal for his illustrated retelling of Rapunzel, as well as Caldecott Honors for three of his books: Hansel and Gretel (1985), Rumpelstiltskin (1987), and Swamp Angel (1995). In 2018, Paul was given the Carle Honor Award for Illustration.Check out his books here: https://www.paulozelinsky.com/Support the show

It's Tuesday and we're looking at the stories Denverites are talking about this week. First, city officials have rolled back plans for a protected bike lane on W. 29th Ave — again. Not only are cycling advocates upset, but a leaked email from the City and the parking plight of one homeowner are making the debate even more complicated. Then, as housing continues to be a top concern, the mayor and city council are tussling over Denver's 2025 budget and what should — and shouldn't — be included. Host Bree Davies and producer Paul Karolyi dig into the thorniest debates, plus your questions on the fate of key structures at Elitch Gardens pending the area's redevelopment and where to find deep fried turkey for Thanksgiving.  Bree also talked about the new Maurice Sendak show at the Denver Art Museum. If you want to weigh in on what's in Denver's budget for 2025, City Council is hosting a public hearing on Oct. 28. You can sign up to speak here.  Have thoughts on the W. 29th Avenue bike lane debate or Denver bike lanes in general? Give us a call or send us a text on the Big Bad Bike Lane Hotline: 720-500-5418.

Hello, queerlings! Welcome back to History is Gay! First off, I just want to say I'm so sorry for the unexpected hiatus and disappearance! Significant life events in early 2024 threw wrench after wrench into my plans and my ability to focus on the show, and I made the difficult decision in early June to announce an official hiatus to the patreon supporters with plans to return in the fall, but never sent anything out to the wider listenership, so I imagine you all felt left hanging, and I apologize for the radio silence! If you want to read more to get a better sense of the reasons for the hiatus, that Patreon post from June is public and accessible by everyone, which you can read here. All that being said, we are back! I'm so happy to share with you that we'll be returning to your podfeeds tomorrow, October 1, with an episode which has been a very long time coming, where guest-host Aubree Calvin and I start a deep dive into all your favorite classic children's book authors who, turns out, are queer! We had so many folks we wanted to get into that it's expanded into a 2-3 part episode, so we've got more coming your way soon to close out 2024, including Maurice Sendak, James Marshall, Louise Fitzhugh, and more! I also wanted to announce that going into 2025, we'll be bringing some changes to the format and structure of the show, in an aim to make it more sustainable for us to produce and freshen things up a bit! We haven't figured out exactly what it will look like yet, but it will likely involve switching to a seasonal format with a set number of episodes followed by a break, and having our usual research deep-dive format be only one type of episode, alternating with things like learning from other queer historians and interviewing queer historymakers. More detail and information is on another publicly available Patreon post, linked here. I hope you'll follow along with this new phase of History is Gay, and support us in exploring new ways to keep the show going, and let us know what you think! But for now, we'll see you tomorrow with episode 47!

Scotty talks to award-winning author Rena Mason about her upbringing in both northern California and upstate New York, her early introduction to horror through "Godzilla" and Maurice Sendak's "Where the Wild Things Are," how a bad experience with an English professor, family obligations, and her career as an OR nurse steered her away from a literary career, but how a frustrating encounter with a disappointing "domestic drama" novel (which she thought would have been greatly improved by a third-act appearance by a famous movie slasher) convinced her to give writing a try. She discusses her influences from Stephen King, Shirley Jackson, and Clive Barker, and how her "blender" approach to genre lead to her strange, disturbing--and deeply satisfying--novel "The Evolutionist" (2013, Nightscape Press, winner of the Bram Stoker Award for Superior Achievement in a First Novel). Rena and Scotty also talk about her Jack the Ripper-themed novella "East End Girls" (2013, Cemetary Dance Publications), how she developed her ear for dialogue, the joys (and dangers) of research rabbit-holes, balancing the demands for creating shorter content against the desire to keep writing longer work, and more. And Rena extols the virtues of the 1973 British occult biker movie "Psychomania"...which unfortunately Scotty didn't get to watch beforehand because of a weather-related mishap with his Internet (c'est la vie). You can find Rena online at https://www.renamason.ink You can find "The Evolutionist" at https://www.encyclopocalypse.com/product/the-evolutionist-rena-mason/125?cs=true&cst=custom You can find "East End Girls" at https://www.amazon.com/East-End-Girls-Rena-Mason/dp/B088JXC25B/ Be sure to tune in to Daniel Braum's YouTube series "Night Time Logic."

Maurice Sendak, author of “Where the Wild Things Are” and “Alligators All Around,” is the focus of the Skirball Center’s new exhibit, which includes original art and first editions of his books.  The Supreme Court ruled that former President Trump has immunity for some of his official acts. How will this affect his federal trial regarding the January 6 insurrection?  The Supreme Court recently ruled that cities have the right to break up encampments of unhoused people under anti-camping ordinances. What does the Grants Pass v. Johnson ruling mean for LA? Press Play rebroadcasts our ur last in-person interview at the beginning of the COVID pandemic — it was with musician/humorist Kinky Friedman. He died last week at age 79.

Maurice Sendak is often celebrated for his contributions to children's book art. You're likely familiar with Where The Wild Things Are, or even Higglety Pigglety Pop. But in the late artist's own words, "I do not believe that I have ever written a children's book. I do not know how to write a children's book. How do you set out to write a children's book?" This hour, we're exploring the Maurice Sendak Foundation in Ridgefield, where Sendak lived for forty years. There, the many layers of his artistic legacy live on, with the help of the experts and friends who knew and loved him best. We hear from them. Twelve years after the artist's passing, the Foundation and HarperCollins are releasing Ten Little Rabbits. GUESTS: Lynn Caponera: President and Treasurer, Maurice Sendak Foundation Dr. Jonathan Weinberg: Curator, Maurice Sendak Foundation Cat Pastor contributed to this episode which originally aired February 12, 2024.Support the show: http://wnpr.org/donateSee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

SERIES 2 EPISODE 116: COUNTDOWN WITH KEITH OLBERMANN A-Block (1:44) SPECIAL COMMENT: TRUMP DC ELECTION SUBVERSION TRIAL POSTPONED. Still officially scheduled for a month from Sunday, it has in fact "fallen off" the Washington Federal Court Calendar and no new date has been set. Even as the District of Columbia and the federal government think of ways to protect the Prettyman Courthouse with metal fencing and street closures (just like right after Trump's January 6 coup), The Washington Post speculates the trial will allow for Trump's trial in New York on the Stormy Daniels Payoff Business Fraud to start next month instead. Either way, Trump's stall has worked. The DC District Appeals Court has yet to rule on his "Presidential Immunity" bullshit and fingers are pointed at the member of the three-judge panel who was appointed by George W. Bush. ALSO: MARJORIE TAYLOR GREENE is the worst person ever to serve in the United States House of Representatives. Her inability to pronounce "indictable" correctly is everything that's wrong with this country today, particularly our refusal to help the chronically stupid to heal themselves. More maddening, Greene has previously claimed a) that dyslexia runs in her family AND b) that her political opponents are "retards." B-Block (22:48) THE WORST PERSONS IN THE WORLD: Steve Garvey assailed by three kids in an L.A. Times profile (the other 197 love him though). Moms For Liberty actually manages to outdo itself in what we used to call Bluenosing. And the pollster who has defined which group of voters can put Trump over the top: African-American Men With Three Arms. C-Block (34:32) FRIDAYS WITH THURBER: His most famous, most imagination-stimulating work: "The Secret Life Of Walter Mitty."See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

In this episode, we analyze Maurice Sendak's "Where the Wild Things Are" and explore themes of discipline, power, and the importance of rules. We discuss Max's sociopathic behavior, the role of media manipulation, and the fear of social rejection. We also examine the significance of prioritizing love over material possessions and the evaluation of claims. With thought-provoking analyses and personal stories, this episode provides valuable insights to consider.Join the PREMIUM philosophy community on the web for free!Get my new series on the Truth About the French Revolution, access to the audiobook for my new book 'Peaceful Parenting,' StefBOT-AI, private livestreams, premium call in shows, the 22 Part History of Philosophers series and more!See you soon!https://freedomain.locals.com/support/promo/UPB2022

Merriam-Webster's Word of the Day for October 19, 2023 is: quintessence • kwin-TESS-unss • noun Quintessence is a formal word that can refer to the most typical or perfect example of something, or the most important part of something. // Roasting marshmallows over an open fire and making s'mores is the quintessence of camping in the great outdoors. // The quintessence of music is the melody. See the entry > Examples: "The stories read like the quintessence of the human imagination in its densest, strangest form, as if his language were a thick, sweet concentrate of the creativity that other writers dilute to a sippable weakness. The comparison with Kafka misses much of [Bruno] Schulz's surreal humour and vivacity; the writer of whom he reminds me most is Maurice Sendak, with his bewitching childhood worlds filled with galumphing, unpredictable adults." — Joe Moshenska, The Guardian (London), 14 May 2023 Did you know? Long ago, when people believed that everything was made up of four elements—earth, air, fire, and water—they thought the stars and planets were made up of yet another element. In the Middle Ages, people called this element by its Medieval Latin name, quinta essentia, literally, "fifth essence." They believed the quinta essentia was essential to all kinds of matter, and if they could somehow isolate it, it would cure all disease. People have since given up on that idea, but English users have kept quintessence, the offspring of quinta essentia, as a word for the purest essence of a thing. Some modern physicists have given quintessence a new twist—they use it to refer to a form of the dark energy believed to make up almost 70 percent of the energy in the observable universe.
