Bøker av May Sinclair

Nakiketas and other poems, May Sinclair's first volume of poetry, which was her first published book, came out under a partial pseudonym, Julian Sinclair, in 1886. It contains three longer works and six shorter. Nakiketas is an emotionally searing adaptation of the Katha Upanishad, where a proud and limited father, unused to criticism, wrathfully answers his son's challenge, and condemns him to death. Nakiketas learns, ultimately with forgiveness and sadness, as he approaches his end, that the current gods will fade (implicitly, his father's world and beliefs) and a simple greater truth be revealed.Helen, the longest poem, details the life of a young woman and her friend Arthur from childhood. Helen's family, like Sinclair's own, is blighted by financial misfortune at the hands of a fraudster when she is a very young child. She and Arthur are parted. Arthur returns when they are grown to find her engaged to Emile, the very man who destroyed her family. They tussle over whether or not Emile has turned over a new leaf, and realise their love for one another, but too late.Apollodorus, the last long work, is a richly metaphoric treatment of the progress of a bard's journey of artistic discovery, symbolised in his stormy relationship with the poetic muse.George Eliot celebrates the great writer with love and admiration, seeing her as a visionary; A Fable comically covers bias-validation; The Singer addresses the fecundity of the positive-negative dualism for the artist; Immortelle hopefully covers the tiny survival of the positive in a sea of negativity; Euthanasia gives perspective to what is really important; and Christapollo celebrates the bright flame of Shelley's genius and his rare breadth of spirit.May Sinclair's importance in literary history has grown undeniable in recent times, but her superb poetry is still not sufficiently celebrated. Marrying the sensibility of a wordsmith with the intellect of a philosopher, she created a powerfully resonant, full-voiced style, already evident here at the very beginning of her career.

芭芭拉希望她能回来。在最后一个小时里，范妮-沃丁顿 一直通过敞开的门进出房间，进入花园，为盛开的 碗带来郁金香，白色，粉红色和红色的郁金香，将它们悬停在上面，并与她一起爱抚它们。精致的蝴蝶手指，哼着自己的歌。这首歌与Barbara的商店清单混在一起："两打玻璃毛巾。十二磅的Spratt的小狗饼干。十二个绅士的全丝睡衣，超大号"........."呜呜，呜呜， - （舒伯特的即兴作品），还有芭芭拉写的音符："沃丁顿太太很乐于附上......"。范妮-沃丁顿 总是很乐意封装一些东西......。 "呜呜-轰隆，轰隆，嘻嘻。"声音如此之轻，以至于几乎没有搅动房间的安静。如果一只蝴蝶会哼哼，它会像范妮-沃丁顿一样哼哼。芭芭拉-麦登 在下威克庄园 待了两天，她已经在家里了。她很清楚范妮的客厅，客厅的两端都铺着低矮的都铎式窗户，窗框上镶满了沉重的竖框，后面的那扇窗外望向绿色的花园，四周是壁花和郁金香。最前面的是圆形的草地和日,，后面是行车道和灌木丛，沿着宽阔的步道穿过，一直延伸到公园的尽头。她喜欢室内装饰，波斯地毯褪成灰色，淡黄褐色和老玫瑰色，葡萄酒色的桃花心木家具，桌子伸出腿上的铜爪，格子的橱柜和书柜，方格布式窗帘和椅子套，所有红色大丽花和粉蓝色的鹦鹉都在米黄色的地面上。但是当范妮不在的时候，你会因为她的空虚而感到房间疼痛。
