Francesco Baucia"Discipline occidentali" Leonard Schrader, Kengiro Azuma e un anno di KendoCastelvecchi Editorewww.castelvecchieditore.comIowa, anni Sessanta. Leonard Schrader, allievo della più ambita scuola di scrittura d'America, accetta un lavoro da insegnante in Giappone per evitare l'arruolamento per il Vietnam. Dall'altra parte dell'oceano progetta un film di yakuza che renderà lui e il geniale fratello Paul gli sceneggiatori più corteggiati di Hollywood. A Milano, negli stessi anni, Kengiro Azuma è un reduce dell'aeronautica giapponese che segue la propria strada di scultore tra le tradizioni del suo Paese, messo in ginocchio dalla guerra, e l'arte e la religione occidentali. Proprio a Milano, molti anni dopo, il narratore di questo libro prova a ricucire le crepe della propria anima attraverso l'arte marziale della spada, il kendo. Si immergerà in un'idea di Oriente tra il mistico e lo sportivo, insieme a un gruppo di compagni di cui fatica a sentirsi parte. «Evento significa cambiamento» recita un famoso manuale di sceneggiatura. Cosa sarebbero un film senza il cambiamento del suo protagonista o una vita che si ripete sempre uguale? Eppure, al cambiamento spesso si resiste… Tra romanzo, saggio e autobiografia, Discipline occidentali racconta tre percorsi di trasformazione individuale: dall'America al Giappone e all'Italia; e da qui verso un Oriente frutto di illusioni occidentali. Tre storie intrecciate con un montaggio cinematografico che affianca ai protagonisti le vicende e le idee di compagni di viaggio come Mishima, Parise, Yourcenar, Yeats, Tondelli. Francesco Baucia disegna i contorni di un labirinto in cui perdersi cercando la propria conversione, o la strada di casa.Francesco Baucia, sceneggiatore, è autore dei romanzi L'ultima analisi (Sedizioni, 2013) e La notte negli occhi (Lindau, 2020) e della raccolta di saggi Luci dall'abisso.

Yeats's poem “Sailing to Byzantium” begins and ends with the concept of reproduction. In the first stanza, this reproduction is natural and sexual, and in the final stanza is entirely a matter of artifice. The living songbird is transformed into both product and producer, with a form of singing that is gilded by a consciousness of its departure from nature. Where natural reproduction replenishes entities that are neverthless always in the process of dying, art—the speaker seems to hope—is potentially eternal. And yet the poem's final stanza also reminds us that art is ultimately for the living, and only as alive as its audience. Wes & Erin discuss Yeats's meditation on whether creativity can help us transcend mortality, and how artists should conceive of their relationships to nature and posterity.

Parlando - Where Music and Words Meet

William Butler Yeats wrote this oft-quoted poem of the rise of evil in the world.

We've done over 800 of these combinations over the years, and you can hear any of them and read about our encounters with the words at our blog and archives located at frankhudson.org

Marianne Moore (1887-1972) achieved something rare in American letters: a modernist poet who was popular with both critics and the public. Famous for her formal innovation, precise diction, and wit - as well as her black tri-corner hat and cloak, which she wore as she dashed around Manhattan - she was lauded by T.S. Eliot (and numerous prize committees) and treated by the public as a true American poet. Muhammad Ali asked her to write the liner notes to his album notes; Ford Motor Company asked her to name their line of cars. In this episode, Jacke talks to Moore scholar Cristanne Miller about Moore's life, Moore's work, and a new digital archive project that unites the two. Additional listening: 564 H.D.

Magic was real in the past, but is it the same today? Let's talk about modern paganism and ancient magic!--- Join and support the community: https://www.creationspaths.com/ In this episode of Creation's Paths, Charlie and Brian explore whether magic was real in the ancient world and how to live as a modern pagan. They discuss how much of contemporary paganism is a reconstruction rather than a direct continuation of the past and how every faith grapples with balancing old traditions and new practices. Examining biblical stories, historical magical duels like those between Aleister Crowley and W.B. Yeats, and the evolution of science from occult roots, they highlight how magic persists today—just in different forms. They emphasize re-enchanting the world by seeing magic and divine presence in everyday life rather than romanticizing or fossilizing the past. Whether through Brigid's forge (now metaphorically a computer or cell phone) or the enduring power of myths, they encourage listeners to embrace a living, evolving spirituality. Ultimately, they stress the importance of living in right relationship—with oneself, the environment, and the wisdom passed down—reminding us that paganism should be a thriving, relevant practice rather than a museum piece.Thank you for Liking and Subscribing to this podcastThank you for sharing this episode with your loved ones, friends and community--- Thank you for Tips or Donations: https://ko-fi.com/cedorsett https://patreon.com/cedorsett $CreationsPathsSubstack: https://www.creationspaths.com/ For all of the things we are doing at The Seraphic Grove go to Creation's Paths https://www.creationspaths.com/ For Educational Resource: https://wisdomscry.com Guided Meditations Playlist: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLV0C8kiTKv0J2QAAlD1uaIJvQ3Sr9sIqO Christopagan Playlist:https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLV0C8kiTKv0ISXDQkZBRB7EHrUUJgXlGN The Everything Playlist:https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLV0C8kiTKv0Ln3eGW-tDk2R68PM6c182OCreation's Paths Podcast: http://www.creationspaths.com/podcast Church of the Oak Podcast: http://churchoftheoak.com/Hallowstead Podcast: http://hallowstead.com/Social Connections: BlueSky https://bsky.app/profile/creationspaths.com Threads https://www.threads.net/@creationspaths Instagram https://www.instagram.com/creationspaths/## Chapters:00:00 Introduction to Modern Paganism01:07 Meet the Hosts: Charlie and Brian01:16 Exploring Ancient and Modern Magic04:40 The Role of Stories and History in Paganism09:14 Modern Pagan Practices and Reflections16:08 Living as a Modern Pagan25:37 Personal Experiences and Final Thoughts32:03 Closing Remarks and Prayer Get full access to Creation's Paths at www.creationspaths.com/subscribe

is life of globetrotting the globe was not the one he expected to lead. He grew up a quiet, shy boy teased by other kids on the playgrounds for his red hair. But he developed a keen wit and sense of humor to always see the funnier side of life. With an overwhelming love of travel, a propensity to find trouble where there was none, and being a passionate advocate of mental health, Simon's stories will leave a reader either rolling on the floor in tears of laughter, or breathing deeply that the adventures he has led were survived. No author has laughed longer or cried with less restraint at the travails of life.

We all have two lives. We only get to experience living in the second after we realize we only have just one.Simon Yeats had his first real scare in life when he was attacked by a kangaroo when he was seven years old. His first brush with the cliff-face edge of death came when he was 12. His father drove his family down the dangerous, 4WD only Skipper's Canyon dirt road in New Zealand in a rented minivan.Including the occasions he was almost involved in two different plane flight crashes, in the same night, there have been at least a half dozen more times when the author has come within a moment's inattention of being killed.However, none of those frightening incidents compare to what he experiences after his son is abducted to South America.

Introduced by John Low Narrated by John Kavanagh Read by Jim Norton • Denys Hawthorne Nicholas Boulton • Marcella Riordan William Butler Yeats was born in Dublin in 1865. His father was a lawyer and a well-known portrait painter. Yeats was educated in London and in Dublin, but spent his summers in the west of Ireland in the family's summer house in County Sligo. The young Yeats was active in societies that attempted an Irish literary revival. His early poetry was influenced by John Keats, William Wordsworth, William Blake and many more. His earliest volume of verse was published in 1889. Together with Lady Gregory he founded the Irish Theatre, which was to become the Abbey Theatre, and served as its chief playwright until the movement was joined by John Sing. His plays usually treat Irish legends; they also reflect his fascination with mysticism and spiritualism. After 1910, Yeats's dramatic art took a sharp turn toward a highly poetical, static, and esoteric style. Although a convinced patriot, Yeats deplored the hatred and the bigotry of the Nationalist movement, and his poetry is full of moving protests against it. He was appointed to the Irish Senate in 1922. His poetry, especially the volumes The Wild Swans at Coole (1919), Michael Robartes and the Dancer (1921), The Tower (1928), The Winding Stair and Other Poems (1933), and Last Poems and Plays (1940), made him one of the outstanding and most influential twentieth-century poets writing in English. His recurrent themes are the contrast of art and life, masks, cyclical theories of life (the symbol of the winding stairs), and the ideal of beauty and ceremony contrasting with the hubbub of modern life.

Matthew Arnold's "Shakespeare"

Today's poem demonstrates that, unlike Arnold's sideburns, loving the Bard never goes out of style. Although remembered now for his elegantly argued critical essays, Matthew Arnold, born in Laleham, Middlesex, on December 24, 1822, began his career as a poet, winning early recognition as a student at the Rugby School where his father, Thomas Arnold, had earned national acclaim as a strict and innovative headmaster. Arnold also studied at Balliol College, Oxford University. In 1844, after completing his undergraduate degree at Oxford, he returned to Rugby as a teacher of classics.After marrying in 1851, Arnold began work as a government school inspector, a grueling position which nonetheless afforded him the opportunity to travel throughout England and the Continent. Throughout his thirty-five years in this position Arnold developed an interest in education, an interest which fed into both his critical works and his poetry. Empedocles on Etna (1852) and Poems (1853) established Arnold's reputation as a poet and, in 1857, he was offered a position, which he accepted and held until 1867, as Professor of Poetry at Oxford. Arnold became the first professor to lecture in English rather than Latin. During this time Arnold wrote the bulk of his most famous critical works, Essays in Criticism (1865) and Culture and Anarchy (1869), in which he sets forth ideas that greatly reflect the predominant values of the Victorian era.Meditative and rhetorical, Arnold's poetry often wrestles with problems of psychological isolation. In “To Marguerite—Continued,” for example, Arnold revises John Donne's assertion that “No man is an island,” suggesting that we “mortals” are indeed “in the sea of life enisled.” Other well-known poems, such as “Dover Beach,” link the problem of isolation with what Arnold saw as the dwindling faith of his time. Despite his own religious doubts, a source of great anxiety for him, in several essays Arnold sought to establish the essential truth of Christianity. His most influential essays, however, were those on literary topics. In “The Function of Criticism” (1865) and “The Study of Poetry” (1880) Arnold called for a new epic poetry: a poetry that would address the moral needs of his readers, “to animate and ennoble them.” Arnold's arguments, for a renewed religious faith and an adoption of classical aesthetics and morals, are particularly representative of mainstream Victorian intellectual concerns. His approach—his gentlemanly and subtle style—to these issues, however, established criticism as an art form, and has influenced almost every major English critic since, including T. S. Eliot, Lionel Trilling, and Harold Bloom. Though perhaps less obvious, the tremendous influence of his poetry, which addresses the poet's most innermost feelings with complete transparency, can easily be seen in writers as different from each other as W. B. Yeats, James Wright, Sylvia Plath, and Sharon Olds. Late in life, in 1883 and 1886, Arnold made two lecturing tours of the United States.Matthew Arnold died in Liverpool on April 15, 1888.-bio via Academy of American Poets Get full access to The Daily Poem Podcast at dailypoempod.substack.com/subscribe

Irish poet W. B. Yeats wanted to be buried “Under Ben Bulben,” a stately mountain after which he titled one of his last poems. The poem’s final line is etched onto his gravestone: Cast a cold eye/ On life, on death./ Horseman, pass by! Much speculation has taken place over what this means. Perhaps it’s the poet’s acknowledgment of the reality of both life and death. Regardless, Yeats got his wish about where he was buried and what his gravestone would say. But the cold truth is that life goes on without us, indifferent to our departure. During a dire time in Judah’s history, Shebna, a “palace administrator,” made a tomb for himself to insure his legacy after death. But God, through His prophet Isaiah, told Shebna, “Who gave you permission to cut out a grave for yourself here, hewing your grave on the height and chiseling your resting place in the rock?” (Isaiah 22:16). The prophet told him, “[God] will roll you up tightly like a ball and throw you into a large country. There you will die” (v. 18). Shebna had missed the point. What matters isn’t where we’re buried; what matters in life is who we serve. Those who serve Jesus have this immeasurable comfort: “Blessed are the dead who die in the Lord” (Revelation 14:13). We serve a God who’s never indifferent to our “departure.” He anticipates our arrival and welcomes us home.
