  • The Tenth Book of Ovid's Metamorphoses As Orpheus
    THE TENTH BOOK OF Ovid’s METAMORPHOSES AS Orpheus’ EPYLLION* Ulrich Eigler By picking up the topic of the Orpheus story in his tenth Book, Ovid seeks the competition with Virgil, who treated the Orpheus myth (Verg. Georg. 4.453–527) within the Aristaeus narrative in the fourth Book of the Geor­ gics (315–588). In both cases the story constitutes an insertion of its own quality within the greater narrative frame, which in the former case rep- resents Virgil’s didactic poem on agriculture and in the latter case the collective poems on transformations.1 In Virgil’s version, the Orpheus story is part of the frame of the Aristaeus narrative as a second narrative string, whereas in Ovid’s version the Orpheus story constitutes a complex on its own, which again has a number of insertions. Therefore, one was speaking of an Aristaeus and congruously of an Orpheus epyllion.2 This term was chosen because, contrary to the greater poem, the connexion was not given and for the Aristaeus and for the Orpheus episode applies what Koster termed as stimulus for the postulation of the epyllion as a Kleingattung: “Das auffallendste . ist die sogenannte Einlage und dass sie in einem so deutlichen Missverhältnis zur Haupterzählung steht, dass sie gewissermassen zur Hauptsache wird.”3 Analogical observations can be made regarding the Orpheus narrative. Into the frame narrative, which is dedicated to Orpheus (Met. 10.1–85; 11.37–66), the staging of an overlong song by Orpheus is inserted; it appears like a foreign body. It seems that Ovid, inspired by Virgil, tried to * I am very thankful to Dominique Stehli for his help with the translation of this article.

AllenRandolph: Interview: Michael Longley and Jody Allen Randolph Interview: Michael Longley and Jody AllenRandolph You are variously described as a nature poet, a love poet, a classical poet, a war poet, a political poet. Do any of these tags feel closer to home than others? I don't care for pigeonholing. I hope there are overlappings, the nature poetry fertilizing the war poetry, and so on. Advancing on a number of fronts at the same time looks like a good idea: if there's a freeze-up at points along the line, you can trickle forward somewhere else. Love poetry is at the core of the enterprise-the hub of the wheel from which the other preoccupations radiate like spokes. In my next collection Snow Water there will be eleven new love poems. I wouldn't mind being remembered as a love poet, a sexagenarian love poet. I occasionally write poems about war-as a non-combatant. Only the soldier poets I revere such as Wilfred Owen and Keith Douglas produce what I would call proper war poetry. It's presun1ptuouS to call oneself a poet.

  • Michael Longley's Poetry of the Elements in Snow Water
    Estudios Irlandeses , Number 6, 2011, pp. 1-7 __________________________________________________________________________________________ AEDEI Michael Longley’s Poetry of the Elements in Snow Water Elisabeth Delattre Université d’Artois Copyright (c) 2011 by Elisabeth Delattre. This text may be archived and redistributed both in electronic form and in hard copy, provided that the author and journal are properly cited and no fee is charged for access. Abstract. Nature has always played a major part in Michael Longley’s poetry, for ecological reasons but also because of the feeling of empathy involved, as Snow Water published in 2004 testifies. This analysis will rely essentially on Gaston Bachelard’s phenomenological approach which deals with the way human reverie on matter governs poetic writing as the sensitory experience of the world. Key words. poetry, nature, elements, symbols, imagination Resumen. La naturaleza ha jugado siempre un papel importante en la poesía de Michael Longley, por razones ecológicas pero también por el sentimiento de empatía que comporta, tal como pone de manifiesto el volumen Snow Water publicado en 2004. El siguiente análisis usará esencialmente la aproximación fenomenológica de Gaston Bachelard, que se basa en la manera en que la ensoñación humana en torno a la materia gobierna la escritura poética en tanto que experiencia sensorial del mundo. Palabras clave. Poesía, naturaleza, elementos, símbolos, imaginación. Le meilleur parti à prendre est donc de considérer toutes choses comme inconnues, et de se promener ou de s’étendre sous bois ou sur l’herbe, et de reprendre tout du début (Francis Ponge, Le Parti pris des choses). Air, soil, water, fire – those are the words, I myself am a word with them – my qualities interpenetrate with theirs (Walt Whitman, Leaves of Grass).

  • Erysichthon Goes to Town
    Erysichthon Goes to Town James Lasdun’s Modern American Re-telling of Ovid Pippa J. Ström A thesis submitted to Victoria University of Wellington in fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Arts in Classical Studies Victoria University of Wellington 2010 ERYSICHTHON GOES TO TOWN by Pippa J. Ström ©2010 ABSTRACT The Erysichthon of Ovid’s Metamorphoses is given, in James Lasdun’s re-telling of the story, a repeat performance of chopping down a sacred tree, receiving the punishment of insatiable hunger, selling his daughter, and eating himself. Transgressive greed, impiety, and environmental destruction are elements appearing already amongst the Greek sources of this ancient myth, but Lasdun adds new weight to the environmental issues he brings out of the story, turning Erysichthon into a corrupt property developer. The modern American setting of “Erisychthon” lets the poem’s themes roam a long distance down the roads of self- improvement, consumption, and future-centredness, which contrast with Greek ideas about moderation, and perfection being located in the past. These themes lead us to the eternally unfulfilled American Dream. Backing up our ideas with other sources from or about America, we discover how well the Erysichthon myth fits some of the prevailing approaches to living in America, which seem to have stemmed from the idea that making the journey there would lead to a better life. We encounter not only the relationship between Ovid and Lasdun’s versions of the story, but between the earth and its human inhabitants, and find that some attitudes can be traced back a long way.

  • Seamus Heaney, 1939-2013
    Seamus Heaney, 1939-2013 Maurice Harmon Abstract: Seamus Heaney explores the historical and cultural origins of his native territory. His poems link to its landscape in loving recreations of activities and customs and in troubled assessment of sectarian divisions. Poetry becomes a means of redressing wrongs, of balancing opposing tensions. The question of the poet’s responsibility and of the value of poetry itself becomes central. Ultimately he must be true to himself, have freedom to express himself, and live in the republic of his own conscience. Keywords: Seamus Heaney; contemporary Irish poetry; poet’s responsibility. Seamus Heaney never lost touch with his rural origins. His early poetry, in Death of a Naturalist (1966) and Door into the Dark (1969), recovers a past animated by the crafts and skills of the farming community. Some poems evoke mystery at the heart of the craftsman’s work: within the dark centre of the forge the blacksmith hammers out a fantail of sparks; in the hands of the diviner the forked hazel stick plunges unerringly towards the hidden source; his father’s accuracy with a horse-drawn plough is exemplary. At the headrig, with a single pluck Of reins, the sweating team turned round And back into the land. His eye Narrowed and angled at the ground, Mapping the furrow exactly. (Selected Poems 8)1 Admiring the work of thatchers, turf-cutters, sowers, and harvesters, and remarking their pride in work done well, he reveals what he values. As the thatcher goes about his work, so does the poet. Then fixed the ladder, laid out well-honed blades And snipped at straw and sharpened ends of rods That, bent in two, made a white-pronged staple For pinning down his world, handful by handful.

  • The Astray Belonging—The Perplexity of Identity in Paul Muldoon's Early
    International Conference on Humanities and Social Science (HSS 2016) The Astray Belonging—The Perplexity of Identity in Paul Muldoon’s Early Poems Jing YAN Sichuan Agricultural University, Dujiangyan, Chengdu, Sichuan Province, China Keywords: Paul Muldoon, Northern Ireland, Identity, Perplexity. Abstract. As a poet born in a Catholic family in Northern Ireland but deeply influenced by the British literary tradition, Paul Muldoon’s identity is obviously multiple and complex especially from 1970s to 1980s when Northern Ireland was going through the most serious political, religious and cultural conflicts, all of which were unavoidably reflected in the early poems of Paul Muldoon. This thesis attempts to study the first four anthologies of Paul Muldoon from the perspective of Diaspora Criticism in Cultural Studies to discuss the issues of identities reflected in Muldoon’s poems. Obviously, the perplexity triggered by identities is not only of the poet himself but also concerning Northern Irish issues. Muldoon’s poems relating cultural identities present the universal perplexity of Irish identity. Introduction While Ireland is a small country in Western Europe, this tiny piece of magical land has given birth to countless literary giants. From Jonathan Swift and Richard Sheridan in the 18th century, to Oscar Wilde in the 19th century and all the way to James Joyce, George Bernard Shaw, Butler Yeats, Samuel Beckett and Seamus Heaney in the 20th century, there are countless remarkable Irish writers who help to build the reputation of Irish literature. Since 1960s or 1970s, the rise of Irish poetry began to draw world attention, particularly after poet Seamus Heaney won the Nobel Prize for Literature in 1995, Following Heaney, the later poets in Ireland are also talented in poetic creation, of whom ,the 2003 Pulitzer Prize winner Paul Muldoon is undoubtedly a prominent representative.
