I picked this up at Midwinter because I'm basically a sucker for the circus (true story: I drove to Cincinnati from Indiana to go to an art exhibit of circus posters). But Portia has a faint memory of her father and the circus, so when Mosco's Taveling Wonder Show rides by, she sees her escape and perhaps a way to find her father again. But she was much too spirited for Aunt Sophia, so off Portia was sent to McGreavey's Home for Wayward Girls. See, the dust made her father leave - in search of a better life for them - and Portia was left behind with her aunt. Well, it's a bit more complicated than that.

At a party, Crane confesses his love for Katrina, who rejects him. This behaviour provokes the ire of another would-be-suitor, Brom Bones, a renowned village prankster. Crane’s eye is caught by Katrina van Tassel, the daughter of a wealthy farmer, and he starts to court her. It is a place that abounds with local superstitions, including one concerning a headless horseman. The unabridged text is accompanied by a Glossary of Victorian and Literary terms produced for the modern reader.įirst published in The Sketch Book in 1819–20, The Legend of Sleepy Hollow tells the story of schoolmaster Ichabod Crane, who comes to live in Sleepy Hollow, a Dutch settlement near the Hudson River.

With Della Lee’s tough love, Josey’s narrow existence quickly expands. Until she finds her closet harboring Della Lee Baker, a local waitress who is one part nemesis-and two parts fairy godmother. For while Josey has settled into an uneventful life in her mother’s house, her one consolation is the stockpile of sugary treats and paperback romances she escapes to each night. ![]() Josey Cirrini is sure of three winter is her favorite season, she’s a sorry excuse for a Southern belle, and sweets are best eaten in the privacy of her closet. In this irresistible novel, Sarah Addison Allen, author of the bestselling debut, Garden Spells, tells the tale of a young woman whose family secrets-and secret passions-are about to change her life forever. ![]() ![]() ![]() Brown's biography of Cather appeared in 1953, Alfred Knopf wrote on the In presenting a life-size portrait of this remarkable woman.

At the time of her death J.ĭonald Adams wrote in the New York Times that "no American novelist was more purely an artist," and George Whicher declared four years later that "no American writer.

If we took his word for everything, we’d all be wearing bowlers and waiting for the moon to come up. ![]() First of all, Vladimir’s claims might not be true. And Vladimir makes a point of saying-repeatedly, we might add-that Estragon depends on him for his life. He’s the alpha male, he has the better memory, and he’s more logical. Popular belief is that Vladimir is the more intellectual. ![]() But a) we never want to take the easy way out and b) in fact, Vladimir and Estragon are two very different characters. If we wanted to take the easy way out, we’d say he was interchangeable with Estragon. In a typical uber-confusing Beckett move, Vladimir is also called "Didi" or, in one bizarre moment, "Albert." Vladimir and Estragon: BFFs?īreaking into Waiting for Godot is super daunting, but the solution is to just dive in. ![]() ![]() ![]() After describing the cramped nature of train excursions, the Andrews Sisters ask Kaye what the “civilized” do on vacation, and he answers, “They swim and they fish, but that’s what I do all year round.” Rather thank work, Kaye’s character appears to do nothing more than relax and enjoy life, presenting him as being one with nature and unsullied by modernity. He responds, “Uncivilized pictures that the newsreel takes of me.” Here, the song presents the man from Congo as “uncivilized,” in need of saving, and as someone who exists as an image on a screen or in a museum, devoid of humanity. During the second verse, the Andrews Sisters, who provide the voice of the “civilized” ask Kaye what he sees at the movies. ![]() Hailing from the Congo, Kaye’s character refuses the “advantages” that the missionaries propose. On another level, the song should be read through a postcolonial lens. ![]() ![]() The floral apostles are hiero- glyphs of Deity. Arctic regions, 240:3 sunny tropics, giant hills, winged winds, mighty billows, verdant vales, festive flowers, and glorious heavens, – all point to Mind, the spiritual 240:6 intelligence they reflect. Imper- fect mortal mind sends forth its own resemblances, of which the wise man said, “All is vanity.”Ģ40:1 Nature voices natural, spiritual law and divine Love, but human belief misinterprets nature. The perfect 239:30 Mind sends forth perfection, for God is Mind. Those two opposite sources never mingle in fount or stream. If it comes from erring mortal mind, it is discord- ant and ends in sin, sickness, death. ![]() If action pro- ceeds from the divine Mind, action is harmo- 239:27 nious. It forms material concepts and produces every discordant action of the body. Mortal mind is the acknowledged seat of human mo- 239:24 tives. The objects we pursue and 239:21 the spirit we manifest reveal our standpoint, and show what we are winning. If divine Love is becoming nearer, dearer, and more real to us, matter is then submitting to Spirit. To ascertain our progress, we must learn where our affections are placed and whom we acknowledge and 239:18 obey as God.
