  • The Minstrel; Or the Progress of Genius
    The Minstrel; or the Progress of Genius By James Beattie THE MINSTREL; IN TWO BOOKS. _Me vero primum dulces ante omnia Musæ, Quarum sacra fero, ingenti perculsus amore, Accipiant.----_ VIRGIL. THE MINSTREL; OR, THE PROGRESS OF GENIUS. BOOK FIRST. I. Ah! who can tell how hard it is to climb The steep, where Fame's proud temple shines afar! Ah! who can tell how many a soul sublime Has felt the influence of malignant star, And waged with Fortune an eternal war! Checked by the scoff of Pride, by Envy's frown, And Poverty's unconquerable bar, In life's low vale remote has pined alone, Then dropt into the grave, unpitied and unknown! II. And yet, the languor of inglorious days Not equally oppressive is to all. Him, who ne'er listened to the voice of praise, The silence of neglect can ne'er appal. There are, who, deaf to mad Ambition's call, Would shrink to hear th' obstreperous trump of Fame; Supremely blest, if to their portion fall Health, competence, and peace. Nor higher aim Had He, whose simple tale these artless lines proclaim. III. This sapient age disclaims all classic lore; Else I should here, in cunning phrase, display, How forth THE MINSTREL fared in days of yore, Right glad of heart, though homely in array; His waving locks and beard all hoary grey: And, from his bending shoulder, decent hung His harp, the sole companion of his way, Which to the whistling wind responsive rung: And ever as he went some merry lay he sung.

October 3-5, 2018 baltimorehomecoming.com #bmorehome#baltimorehome 1 Header here PHOTO BY ISAAC GUERRERO @S_ISAAC_GUERRERO #baltimorehome 2 #baltimorehome 3 WELCOME DEAR FRIENDS, Welcome home! We are so excited to have you back in Charm City for the first annual Baltimore Homecoming. We are grateful to the hundreds of leaders from across Baltimore – reverends and educators, artists and business executives, activists and philanthropists – who joined together to organize this event. We each have our own memories of Baltimore – a humid summer afternoon or spring ballgame, a favorite teacher or a first job. We hope that you take time while you’re home to reconnect with your past and savor the city – catch up with friends and family, drop by a favorite restaurant, or visit an old neighborhood. Reconnecting is the first step. But our deeper hope is that you begin to forge a new relationship to the city. Whether you left five years ago or fifty, Baltimore has evolved. The Baltimore of today has a dynamic real estate market and budding technology sector. Our artists are leading the national conversation on race and politics. Our nonprofit entrepreneurs are on the cutting-edge of social change. The Port of Baltimore is one of the fastest growing in the U.S. The city’s growth has emerged from and complemented our historic pillars of strength – a rich cultural heritage, world-class research institutions, strategic geographic location, and beautiful waterfront. Baltimore faces significant challenges that we cannot ignore: segregation, entrenched poverty, crime and violence.

  • MARK ALDRIDGE Crime Files
    MARK ALDRIDGE Crime Files Series Editor Clive Bloom Professor Emeritus Middlesex University London , United Kingdom Since its invention in the nineteenth century, detective fi ction has never been more popular. In novels, short stories, fi lms, radio, television and now in com- puter games, private detectives and psychopaths, poisoners and overworked cops, tommy gun gangsters and cocaine criminals are the very stuff of modern imagination, and their creators one mainstay of popular consciousness. Crime Files is a ground-breaking series offering scholars, students and discerning read- ers a comprehensive set of guides to the world of crime and detective fi ction. Every aspect of crime writing, detective fi ction, gangster movie, true-crime exposé, police procedural and post-colonial investigation is explored through clear and informative texts offering comprehensive coverage and theoretical sophistication.

MDCCCLI . 152746 **""«», LENOX ASP TmtJEN FOUNDATIONS 1869. PREFACE. It is nearly seven years, since, at the instance of partial and dear friends, I was led to present myself before the public as an authoress, aiming at poetic strains. It was with feelings of deep agitation that 1 first realized my new position, when, with a volume of my own poems, I presented a dedication copy to the Managers of the noble Institution of which I am an elive, and to which I am indebted for that culture, as set forth in the preface to that edition, which educed the mind and trained the thoughts that were there embodied. The favor with which that pub lication was received, and the warrant of the same kind friends, lead me once more to present my claims for public patronage. During the interval, the love of contemplation, and the emission of thoughts pictured in harmonious words, has given birth to many pieces, which those friends, " Whose judgment I esteem Superior to flty own," advise should be embodied in another edition.

  • Georgaris – Sylvia's Story
    Synopsis: Sylvia’s Story When Sylvia Fisher, 63, walks in on her husband, Louis, having sex with Blanche, her least favorite person in their Boca Raton retirement community, Sylvia experiences a wake- up call. She is deeply unhappy and has been for some time. The truth is, if she could do it all over again, she would’ve lived in Manhattan and pursued a career as a wedding planner, something she dabbled in awhile back and loved. Upon also discovering that Louis lost all of their money in a Ponzi scheme, Sylvia realizes now is the time for action. She ignores Louis’ pleas to stay and goes to visit their daughter in Connecticut, thinking Isabel will help, as she is a career woman with a family. Only Sylvia’s daughter thinks her mother is delusional and should return to Louis. But Sylvia will not be deterred. She and her best friend from Florida, Evie, a spry and spunky 70-something-year-old widow, move to Manhattan and restart their lives. Together, they will live out their version of Sex and the City, their favorite television show, and conquer the big city. Of course, things aren’t easy. Despite having some cash from pawning her jewelry, Sylvia and Evie encounter the challenges of trying to live in an expensive city bursting with youth. But they persevere. Sylvia calls upon an old contact in the wedding planning industry, a now successful woman named Verena, and ends up proving herself worthy of the job as Verena’s second assistant by bonding with a couple in peril, Dan and Ashton.
