  • The Language of Flowers Is Almost As Ancient and Universal a One As That of Speech
    T H E LANGUAGE OF FLOWERS; OR, FLORA SYMBOLIC A. INCLUDING FLORAL POETRY, ORIGINAL AND SELECTED. BY JOHN INGRAM. “ Then took he up his garland, And did shew what every flower did signify.” Philaster. Beaumont and Fletcher. WITH ORIGINAL ILLUSTRATIONS, PRINTED IN COLOURS BY TERRY. LONDON AND NEW YORK: FREDERICK WARNE AND CO. 1887. vA^tT Q-R 7 SO XSH mi TO Eliza Coo k THIS VOLUME IS AFFECTIONATELY INSCRIBED BY HER FRIEND THE AUTHOR. o Preface. j^IIE LANGUAGE OF FLOWERS has probably called forth as many treatises in explanation of its few and simple rules as has any other mode of communicating ideas; but I flatter myself that this book will be found to be the most complete work on the subject ever published—at least, in this country. I have thoroughly sifted, condensed, and augmented the productions of my many predecessors, and have endeavoured to render the present volume in every re¬ spect worthy the attention of the countless votaries which this “ science of sweet things ” attracts ; and, although I dare not boast that I have exhausted the subject, I may certainly affirm that followers will find little left to glean in the paths that I have traversed. As I have made use of the numerous anecdotes, legends, and poetical allusions herein contained, so Preface. VI have I acknowledged the sources whence they came. It there¬ fore only remains for me to take leave of my readers, with the hope that they will pardon my having detained them so long over a work of this description , but “Unheeded flew the hours, For softly falls the foot of Time That only treads on flowers.” J.

  • Melodrama As Vernacular Modernism in China: the Case of D
    Scope: An Online Journal of Film and Television Studies Issue 26 February 2014 Melodrama as Vernacular Modernism in China: The Case of D. W. Griffith Qijun Han, Utrecht University In an article on the pitfalls of cross-cultural analysis, film scholar Emilie Yueh-yu Yeh has proposed replacing the term “melodrama” with “wenyi,” as it can “locate an intrinsic and perhaps more illuminating concept than melodrama to explain Chinese-language cinemas” (Yeh, 2009: 438). In Yeh’s view: Wenyi and melodrama are literally discordant: letters and arts (wenyi) vs. musical theatre (melo-drama). One emphasizes literary value and artistic taste; popular fiction that aspires to serious literature. The other offers the theatrical display and emotional excitement of the sort found in stage musicals (cf. Broadway, operetta, vaudeville). (Yeh, 2009: 445) Yeh is not the first to highlight the concept of wenyi. As early as 1985, Cai Guorong had already raised this issue. For him: Chinese wenyi melodrama developed along two lines: those works that deal with family relationships and ethics, and those that depict romances. […] First, films of this genre use contemporary or recent society as a backdrop; second, they deal with human emotions and are therefore lyrical to an extent. (Cai, 1985; in Zhang, 2012: 25) Yeh has convincingly shown how wenyi connects with and departs from melodrama, and in particular, her historical account of wenyi is a highly valuable tool in interpreting contemporary Chinese films. By proposing to substitute wenyi for melodrama, Yeh has pointed to a set of conceptual tensions underpinning the term melodrama, which is in turn relevant to several issues, such as translation and cultural identity in the aftermath of colonialism and imperialism.

    Dedicated with thanks to: All tired women Female dogs, laughter of sexless tragedy, The indifferent attitude of the moon, Overlapping memories that creep forward in Aloneness and Beastial merriment PROLOGUE Flowery Birth of Departure is an outcome of my passion for writing which was suspended due to my art and teaching career for many years. However, it didn’t take me too long to get back at it. Yet it was long enough to mellow the yearning for ideas, alone, just by myself, which I could not get from the roles of one engaged in contemporary art and teaching. As soon as the art exhibition An Artist Is Trying to Return to Being a Writer began at the end of July 2017, it was over, and the writing began. Memories flooded in, so rich, so overwhelming in self-investigation, back to the past, going through life experiences I had encountered. Each period, the saturated parts, the turbid, clear crystals were occasionally aroused according to combined language mood and human mood. But art itself remained still, shifting slightly in its place and path. PREFACE In the dawn’s obscure light The slender pairs of electric lamps on the posts on each side of the gate sent out a shining white light at the fence of the big house on one side of the lane, as if they were chatting across the deserted divided lane. The lane was divided into two by a narrow irrigation canal through which water slowly and continuously flowed all year round. The dialogue flowed from the pair of lamps of one house over to the pair of lamps of an older house on the other side.

  • MIKE BICKLE Song of Songs Transcript: 5/18/07 Page 1 of 16
    FORERUNNER SCHOOL OF MINISTRY – MIKE BICKLE Song of Songs Transcript: 5/18/07 Page 1 of 16 Session 12: The Bride’s Identity and Life Purpose In this session, session twelve in the Studies in the Song of Solomon, we are going to be looking at Song 2:1-7. This is one of my favorite passages in the Song of Solomon, although I have about eight or nine favorite ones. It is ok to do that. The theme of these seven verses is the bride’s spiritual identity, but more than that, or in addition to that, it is a revelation of her life purpose. As we begin to establish this identity and come into this kind of clarity about our life purpose as described in this great love song, it radically changes the way we view life and the way that we feel. THE BRIDE’S IDENTITY AND LIFE PURPOSE: BEING JESUS’ INHERITENCE Roman numeral I. Jesus’ identity, I mean the bride’s identity and her life purpose are found in understanding that she is Jesus’ inheritance. One of the foundational premises of the kingdom of God is that God the Father has been planning from before the ages to give His Son an inheritance. This is very important to the Father’s heart, and obviously, it is very dear to Jesus’ heart. The Father has thought through this with all of His wisdom, and has determined the choice inheritance that would absolutely ravish the heart of His Son, the Second Person of the Trinity. This is a heavy idea that the Father has discovered and has come with clarity.
