SUPERVISORY COMMITTEE: Thesis Advisor Vice Provost Date 11 ABSTRACT Author: Richard T. Felt Title: Re-Visioning the Fall: Mythic Implications of Archibald Macleish's Songs for Eve Institution: Florida Atlantic University Thesis Advisor: Dr. Howard Pearce Degree: Master of Arts Year: 2002 The history of Western thought is permeated by a dualistic habit of mind which prevents a deeper connection with that primordial world mediated by myth and archetypes. Nietzsche described this dualism as the imposition of rationalistic Apollonian values on the far older tradition of intuitive Dionysian modes of being. Extending this concept further, James Hillman describes this same phenomenon as a lack of soul which he calls psyche. Without a reconnection to psyche, Western civilization is schizoid and incomplete. Using these insights as a basis for critical exploration, this thesis examines Archibald Macleish's 1954 poem cycle Songs for Eve and its inversion of the traditional Western archetypes of the Fall and woman's role in it. By rejecting the traditional Western allegorical interpretation and reinstating the older Dionysian understanding of the Fall, Macleish awakens the reader to a new and deeper understanding of this pervasive mythic motif. 111 TABLE OF CONTENTS Chapter One: Foundations ............................... 1 Chapter Two: Applications . 22 Appendix: Titles of Poems. 51 Works Cited ...................... .................... 52 IV chav yap o 8£oc; tc; 1:0 aw~ £A.811 rroA.uc;, AEyEtv 1: 0 J.lEAAov 1:ouc; J.lEJ.lllVO'ta<; rrotE.i. Possession by Dionysus' ecstasy, his sacred frenzy, opens the soul's prophetic eyes. Euripides The Bacchae v Chapter One: Foundations Joseph Campbell, the great mythologist and anthropologist, said that "the long-inherited, timeless universe of symbols has collapsed" (Hero 387). How can this be, when we live in an age inundated by symbols of every sort­ commercial, political, religious, cultural? When semioticians are busy analyzing and explicating every nuance of thought and signification? The power that was once inherent in the symbols and patterns of myth and ritual have been deracinated by the Western cult of rationalism and nominalism. We live now in a world marked by a great spiritual malaise, a crisis of soul to which the Western religious tradition no longer ministers; humans cry out for meaning only to hear empty echoes reverberate from the billboards and skyscrapers of Madison Avenue. In lieu of a vibrant and communal oral tradition which fosters and sustains mythic tradition, we turn to the personal experience of reading in hopes of replenishing the well of soul. Literature is, indeed, one of the few places left where the power of myth can still be discerned. The greatest of today's writers and poets have taken the place of the shamans and sacred storytellers who once guided men and women in the search for meaning. The role of the modern mythopoet is not the re-inventor of symbols but rather the re-animator of symbols; the one who returns life force to a barren world sundered from its psychic source. It is the battle between mimesis and poesis: the author does not mirror the real world but instead creates an in-between world, a liminal space wherein we can interact directly with the depths that lie 1 beneath the literalist, ego-dominated fa<;ade we take for reality. The artist functions as the hero whose successful adventure can unlock "and release again the flow of life into the body of the world" (Hero 40). "It is not society that is to guide and save the creative hero, but precisely the reverse" (Hero 391 ). The greatest of artists are able to tap into the deep wellspring of universal soul that transcends human particulars of race, culture, language, history and that lead­ or at least point-humanity back to its true nature, and the source of that wellspring is the archetypes that act out their drama through myth. Lawyer, statesman, academician-Archibald Macleish is not known for his mythopoesis, even though some of his most significant works are reinterpretations of "myths, legends, and beliefs that have become accepted in traditional ways" (Falk 34 ), nor has he garnered much mainstream critical attention in the past 30 years. 1 As poet and playwright, he has been seen as a pragmatist in search of answers, insisting that art address social and political problems. It is little wonder, then, that his work has received scant archetypal exploration. And yet through his works, most notably the biblically-themed plays Nobodaddy and J.B. and the mythologically inspired poem Pot of Earth, there runs a thread which invites the reader to return mythically (the via regia of the storyteller) to the depths of the psyche as the source of all that is human. The power and nature of Macleish's mythopoesis is most clearly developed in his late poem cycle, Songs for Eve. In it, we see the rehabilitation of the Judea­ Christian archetype of the Fall through an inversion of the conventional, Western dualistic interpretation (which has become solidified into a cultural archetype). 2 Apollo and Dionysus To categorize and explore Macleish as a mythopoet, we must begin by examining the past two millennia of history of Western thought. It can be argued that, throughout its written history, the nature of Western thought has been fundamentally dualistic: male versus female, God versus Devil, monotheism versus polytheism, spirit versus flesh, Apollonian versus Dionysian. Our way of thinking is organized around these pairs of opposites, and to think otherwise, to think inclusively and paradoxically (such as is done in the East), is difficult if not impossible for any member of Occidental culture. In literature, this mode of seeing the world is a limiting one, both for the poet as well as the reader. Critical methodologies from this tradition focus on reader and artifact, subject and object, mimesis versus fantasy, correct interpretation versus error, historicity versus imagination. Both hermeneutics and phenomenology are aligned in the same camp as myth criticism in their attempt to penetrate beyond dualistic segregation, concentrating on literature's polysemous nature and transformative power. Leitch says that with its eidetic and transcendental methods of analysis, phenomenology "subverted not only empiricism and idealism, but Cartesian dualism and modern scientific method. [While phenomenologists] worked hard to heal the rift between self and world, experience and knowledge, and consciousness and creation" (152), hermeneutics' emphasis on historicity and cultural specificity undermines the universal and timeless nature of myth and archetype (191). An archetypal or mythic world view, on the other hand, is willing to accept 3 all possibilities, all potentialities, and invites us into the limitless vastness of the human soul. 2 Myth criticism strives to discern connections between literature and the fundamental, primordial well of pan-cultural archetypes and patterns inhering in the depths of the human psyche. It seeks not so much to evaluate as it does to make manifest the pre-lingual and imagistic sources which give great literature its power to affect and deeply move the reader: "The creator has an idea, an image which, by its nature, has to be non-verbal, but the poet, as a creator, has to clothe that idea in words. The result is something that you either see on a page, or hear in your ear, and the whole point is to awaken response in another human being" (Parker 60). The text is viewed in relation to a larger context, a universal backdrop against which the reader is able to witness the timeless interplay of gods and goddesses, heroes and demons. Myth criticism is not the single-minded search for myths in every narrative and in every poem, applying willy-nilly our favorite critical magnifying lens to every artifact, only to discover what we are looking for whether it is truly there or not. Following Umberto Eco's advice, we must avoid rigid (mis)interpretation and misapplication of critical paradigms, and allow the text to suggest the most profitable lines of exegesis to pursue (60-2); obviously, certain texts will more readily display mythic themes and archetypes than others, and attempting to force those which do not to fit into one's critical perspective is a disservice to text and reader. Nor does myth criticism form a perfected and self-contained critical system. Rather, this approach is a way of processing the literary text in a non­ dualistic, inclusive fashion, of allowing it its own ontological reality that may enter 4 into the deepest recesses of soul that lie beyond the barriers of cognition. In this way, we connect the literary artifact with the whole of our psyche, not just that verbal, rational part that in our dualistic thinking is too often taken for the entire individual. lnclusivity and fusion of the Apollonian/Dionysian are to be our guiding principles as we explore Macleish's Songs for Eve. Such a broad statement of principle is all well and good, but to make practical · use of it, we must first set forth our methodology and clarify our terminology.

  • Mi-Go 1 Mi-Go
    Mi-go 1 Mi-go An interpretation of the Mi-Go by Ruud Dirven Mi-go ("The Abominable Ones") is a Himalayan nickname for a race of extraterrestrials in the Cthulhu Mythos created by H. P. Lovecraft and others. The name was first applied to the creatures in Lovecraft's short story "The Whisperer in Darkness" (1931), elaborating on a reference to 'What fungi sprout in Yuggoth' in his sonnet cycle Fungi from Yuggoth (1929–30) which described the contrasting vegetation on alien dream-worlds. Summary The "Mi-go" are large, pinkish, fungoid, crustacean-like entities the size of a man; where a head would be, they have a "convoluted ellipsoid" composed of pyramided, fleshy rings and covered in antennae. According to two reports in the original short story, their bodies consist of a form of matter that does not occur naturally on Earth; for this reason, they do not register on ordinary photographic film. They are capable of going into suspended animation until softened and reheated by the sun or some other source of heat. They are about five feet (1.5 m) long, and their crustacean-like bodies bear numerous sets of paired appendages. They possess a pair of membranous bat-like wings which are used to fly through the "aether" of outer space (a scientific concept which is now discredited). The wings do not function well on Earth. Several other races in Lovecraft's Mythos also have wings like these. The Mi-go can transport humans from Earth to Pluto (and beyond) and back again by removing the subject's brain and placing it into a "brain cylinder", which can be attached to external devices to allow it to see, hear, and speak.

Some minor updates have been made to correct some spelling errors in the original book and layout in-compatibilities 2001 armybarmy.com PREFACE The progress of The Salvation Army in its work amongst the poor and lost of many lands has compelled me to face the problems which an more or less hopefully considered in the following pages. The grim necessities of a huge Campaign carried on for many years against the evils which lie at the root of all the miseries of modern life, attacked in a thousand and one forms by a thousand and one lieutenants, have led me step by step to contemplate as a possible solution of at least some of those problems the Scheme of social Selection and Salvation which I have here set forth. When but a mere child the degradation and helpless misery of the poor Stockingers of my native town, wandering gaunt and hunger-stricken through the streets droning out their melancholy ditties, crowding the Union or toiling like galley slaves on relief works for a bare subsistence kindled in my heart yearnings to help the poor which have continued to this day and which have had a powerful influence on my whole life.

  • THE COLLECTED POEMS of HENRIK IBSEN Translated by John Northam
    1 THE COLLECTED POEMS OF HENRIK IBSEN Translated by John Northam 2 PREFACE With the exception of a relatively small number of pieces, Ibsen’s copious output as a poet has been little regarded, even in Norway. The English-reading public has been denied access to the whole corpus. That is regrettable, because in it can be traced interesting developments, in style, material and ideas related to the later prose works, and there are several poems, witty, moving, thought provoking, that are attractive in their own right. The earliest poems, written in Grimstad, where Ibsen worked as an assistant to the local apothecary, are what one would expect of a novice. Resignation, Doubt and Hope, Moonlight Voyage on the Sea are, as their titles suggest, exercises in the conventional, introverted melancholy of the unrecognised young poet. Moonlight Mood, To the Star express a yearning for the typically ethereal, unattainable beloved. In The Giant Oak and To Hungary Ibsen exhorts Norway and Hungary to resist the actual and immediate threat of Prussian aggression, but does so in the entirely conventional imagery of the heroic Viking past. From early on, however, signs begin to appear of a more personal and immediate engagement with real life. There is, for instance, a telling juxtaposition of two poems, each of them inspired by a female visitation. It is Over is undeviatingly an exercise in romantic glamour: the poet, wandering by moonlight mid the ruins of a great palace, is visited by the wraith of the noble lady once its occupant; whereupon the ruins are restored to their old splendour.

  • The Sailor Who Fell from Grace with the Sea
    Penguin Books The Sailor Who Fell from Grace with the Sea Yukio Mishima was born in Tokyo in 1925. When he graduated from the Peers' School in 1944, he received a citation from the Emperor as the highest honour student. He graduated from the Tokyo Imperial University School of Jurisprudence in 1947, and the following year he published his first novel. He wrote eight novels, four successful plays for the Kabuki Theatre, and a travel book. He was the author of more than fifty short stories, ten one-act plays, and several volumes of essays. Among his books published in England are After the Banquet, Confessions elf a Mask, Death in Midsummer and other stories, and The Thirstfor Love. The Sound of Waves, published in Japan under the title of Shiosai, won the 1954 Shinchosha literary prize. Immediately after the Second World War, Yukio Mishima went to the United States as a guest of the State Department and of Partisan Review. In his spare time he was a devotee of weight-lifting and body-building exercises. Mishima firmly upheld the traditions of Japan's imperial past, which he believed were being swiftly eroded by Western materialism. In 1970 he astonished the world when he and a colleague committed ritual suicide, or hara-kiri, by disembowelment.

First, our thanks go to that nameless monk who presented us with the originals., who has since disappeared. Second, to that ever-changing staff of translators who performed a most distasteful and oft'times unsatisfying task: to Ms. I. Celms, Ms. N. Papaspyrou, Mr. Peter Levenda, Mr. X. and Mr. Y. Third, to Ms. J. McNally, whose thorough knowledge and understanding of Craft folklore aided the Editor in assuming a proper perspective towards this Work. Fourth, to Mr. J. Birnbaum who aided in some of the preliminary practical research concerning the powers of the Book, and its dangers. Fifth, to Mr. L. K. Barnes, who dared to tempt the awesome wrath of the Ancient Ones, rising unspeakable eldritch horrors, in supporting the publication of this arcane treatise. Sixth, to all those patient Pagans and Friends of the Craft who waited, and waited for the eventual publication of this tome with baited breath . and something on the stove. Seventh, and perhaps most importantly, to Herman Slater of the Magickal Childe (nee Warlock Shop), whose constant encouragement and eternal kvetching was material to the completion of this Work. And, finally, to the Demon PERDURABO, without whose help the presentation of this Book would have been impossible. Blessed Be! TABLE OF CONTENTS INTRODUCTION
