That's why his poems sound deeper and wider and richer than human language. If there's one thing Hughes is brilliant at, it's counterpoint. The technical term for this is counterpoint. ![]() You could use poetry to reveal what it sounds like being outdoors: the overlapping of thousands of different noises: the rain's rhythm, the wind's rhythm in the leaves, the tunes of engines, the beat of footsteps. It was a new idea to me - that instead of describing something (which always involves a separation between you and the object) you could replay it alive in the form of sound. By the end of the poem I could hear a kind of sonic replica of three grounded hooves and one tilted. Nevertheless, I noticed something at the time that I could learn from - the poem slowed down whenever it mentioned them: "huge in the dense grey", "megalith-still", "making no move". The verbal presence of those horses has some straightforward magic in it - the kind that can't be deconstructed. ![]() ![]() ![]() The prince spirited her away the next day, and two days after that. So, alright whatever, fuck it– All I want to talk about is Prince Aldrik, so that’s what I’m going to talk about. ![]() And yeah, sure, there are fifty million things I guess I could talk about, but why bother if I can’t talk about what I want to? How am I not going to fangirl about a guy? What’s the point otherwise? I mean, obviously I have a ship and obviously it was my favorite part about the book-I mean, duh-it’s me we’re talking about here. Now that I have time, the gravity of what I promised lays heavily on my shoulders. And with powerful forces lurking in the shadows, Vhalla’s indecision could cost her more than she ever imagined. Now she must decide her future: Embrace her sorcery and leave the life she’s known, or eradicate her magic and remain as she’s always been. But after she unknowingly saves the life of one of the most powerful sorcerers of them all-the Crown Prince Aldrik-she finds herself enticed into his world. ![]() Vhalla has always been taught to fear the Tower of Sorcerers, a mysterious magic society, and has been happy in her quiet world of books. The Solaris Empire is one conquest away from uniting the continent, and the rare elemental magic sleeping in seventeen-year-old library apprentice Vhalla Yarl could shift the tides of war. A library apprentice, a sorcerer prince, and an unbreakable magic bond. ![]() ![]() ![]() Such beliefs are transported through time by legendary stories to justify some practice, rite or phenomenon of nature. ‘Myth’ is defined as a widely held but false belief without a determinable basis of fact. ![]() Malik’s latest book, We Need New Stories: Challenging the Toxic Myths Behind Our Age of Discontent, sets out to analyze the rationale behind cultural thinking, which she refers to as myths. Culture is so weaved into our thought processes that it assumes the status of being the only natural way to organize the world, an issue of common sense rather than values. Whereas the injustice of another group’s mores can be easily identified, it takes concerted effort to unpack one’s own cultural thinking. Alfred North Whitehead.Įvery human society has a cultural framework that advocates a value system along with a code of behaviour, the logic of which is cemented into the collective mind via common narratives. Those societies, which cannot combine reverence to their symbols with freedom of revision, must ultimately decay either from anarchy, or from the slow atrophy of a life stifled by useless shadows. ![]() ![]() ![]() Ballard being ridiculed because his chosen medium is the same as Danielle Steel's.

Troy or myself." But then there were the 1st coins & medals & vertebrae, & later Priam's gold & silver (which the Turkish government would contest). Sometimes I don't know which is the prisoner in this mount. For Schliemann it was to be "A life sentence. At this time he also married the young (only 17) Sophia who stayed by his side in situ during the years of endless excavations, even after little Andromache & Agamemnon were born. Schliemann was certainly the most single-minded of these when in middle age, rich & retired from business, he decided to uncover the city of Troy destroyed some 3000 years ago.
