1:05:40Mary Flannery O'Connor (March 25, 1925 – August 3, 1964) was an American novelist, short story writer and essayist. She wrote two novels and 31 short stories, as well as a number of reviews and commentaries. Writing to a friend in the mid-1950s, O'Connor noted that we live in an age in which "the moral sense has been bred out of certain sections of the population, like the wings have been bred off certain chickens to produce more white meat on them....This is a Generation of wingless chickens, which I suppose is what Nietzsche meant when he said God was dead." In such a situation, she felt, subtlety could not work: "you have to make your vision apparent by shock---to the hard of hearing you shout, and for the almost blind you draw large and startling figures." Everything That Rises Must Converge is the main story in a collection of short stories written by Flannery O'Connor during the final decade of her life. The collection was published posthumously in 1965 and contains an introduction by Robert Fitzgerald . The short story that lends its name to the 1965 short story collection was first published in the 1961 issue of New World Writing . The story won O'Connor her second O. Henry Award in 1963.

Read the play. Is it about nominalism vs. realism? Is it about fathers & sons? Is it Shakespeare's love letter to his own son, Hamnet? "Hament died when he was eleven years old, in August 1596, due to unknown causes., It’s thought that he possibly died from the bubonic plague that killed around one-third of all children below the age of twelve in Elizabethan England." https://nosweatshakespeare.com/resources/family/hamnet-shakespeare/ The name Hamlet occurs in the form Amleth in a 13th-century book of Danish History written by Saxo Grammaticus , popularised by François de Belleforest as L'histoire tragique d'Hamlet, and appearing in the English translation as "Hamblet". The story of Amleth is assumed to originate in Old Norse or Icelandic poetry from several centuries earlier. Saxo has it as Amlethus, the Latin form of the old Jutish Amlethæ. In terms of etymology the Old Icelandic name Amlóði comes from the Icelandic noun amlóði, meaning ‘fool,’ suggestive of the way that Hamlet acts in the play. Later these names were incorporated into Irish as Amlodhe. As phonetic laws took their course the name’s spelling changed eventually leaving it as Amlaidhe. This Irish name was given to a hero in a common folk story. The root of this name is ‘furious, raging, wild’. Visit the Patreon page: https://www.patreon.com/user?u=21129179…
Much thanks to Neil Oliver for his recent youtube video on witches and the hunt for witches . This discussion is about the mania that swept through England in the 15th, 16th, and 17th century. How does collective madness occur? How does Shakespeare mollify that madness? Could Shakespeare be suggesting that our own actions and choices, not witchcraft or fate, determine our lives? As Banquo says to Macbeth; oftentimes, to win us to our harm, The instruments of darkness tell us truths, Win us with honest trifles, to betray's In deepest consequence. or as Cassius says to Brutus in "Julius Caesar" Men at some time are masters of their fates: The fault, dear Brutus, is not in our stars, But in ourselves Visit the Patreon page: https://www.patreon.com/user?u=21129179…

In his essay "BEOWULF: THE MONSTERS AND THE CRITICS" (1936) , J.R.R. TOLKIEN wrote that "In the epoch of Beowulf ( produced between 975 and 1025) a Heroic Age more wild and primitive than that of Greece is brought into touch with Christendom, with the Sermon on the Mount, with Catholic theology and ideas of Heaven and Hell." This "fusion-point of imagination", as Tolkien calls it, which united the Norse heroic ideal with the Christian idea of sainthood found its inception in the baptism of Clovis I in 506. And yet the ideals of the Norse hero and the Christian saint are NOT the same. While Christianity acknowledges the violence of the world it suggests that one must return violence with love, greed with poverty, power with humility. Christians were, from early on, encouraged to "turn the other cheek," "sell all they have and give it to the poor," "take up their cross" and follow Christ who, himself, "suffered death, even death on the cross" as Paul wrote . The Norse idea is framed by the knowledge of Ragnarok , or the "inevitable overthrow in Time." Yet in the face of known defeat the warrior professes "the exaltation of undefeated will", an "indomitability" of spirit, "man at war with the hostile world." Those forces opposed to the gods, therefore, "are identified with the foes of God. Grendel and the dragon are constantly referred to in language which is meant to recall the powers of darkness with which Christian men felt themselves to be encompassed. They are the 'inmates of Hell', 'adversaries of God', 'offspring of Cain', 'enemies of mankind'," as R.W. Chambers wrote. When these two ideals of heroism were united, says Tolkien, "The monsters remained the enemies of mankind, the infantry of the old war, and became inevitably the enemies of the one God, ece Dryhten, the eternal Captain of the new. Even so the vision of the war changes." Clovis was baptized on Christmas Day in 508. The adoption by Clovis of Catholicism led to widespread conversion among the Frankish peoples; to religious unification across what is now modern-day France, the Low Countries and Germany; three centuries later, to Charlemagne 's alliance with the Bishop of Rome ; and in the middle of the 10th century under Otto I the Great , to the consequent birth of the early Holy Roman Empire . Consequently the fusion of the Norse heroic ideal with Christian Sainthood became the image of European heroism culminating in the sine qua non of Saint Louis, the struggle with Islam, and the framing of much of European culture leading up even into our own era.

A commentary on the human artistic endeavor. Helga Thoene proposes in her essay that Johann Sebastian Bach embedded into the ciaccona ( Partita in D minor for solo violin (BWV 1004) numerous mathematical and musical references making the work a memorial, or trombeau, to his deceased wife, Maria Barbara Bach, who died in 1720.

1:32:47In this episode of Let’s Do Lunch I have a discussion with Mr Raymond Riethmeier. I had the pleasure of meeting Ray when I worked with his incomparably talented wife at a local parochial school in Minnesota. Ray is a man of many talents; he is on the board of the Sherlock Holmes Society “The Norwegian Explorers”, is vice president of the “Friends of Sherlock Holmes” and was recently inducted into “The Baker Street Irregulars” out of New York. He contributes to various fiction collections and worked on a publication about the character, The Shadow. Ray and I share a common love of movies, comic books, collectibles, and prog rock. In this episode we discuss the history of comic books, the turn that comics took in the 1980s, and the future of comics as contributing to a vision of heroism and nobility in our culture. What is the value of comics as a medium? Why do people appreciate comics, superheroes, and the accompanying movies so much? What is the future of this distinctly American art form? All this and more can be found in this episode of Let’s Do Lunch with Avalon Mentors podcast.
