on God's Garden by Robert Frost, on June 12, 2006
a frost on the root beer mug of cosmology
This is as good a theological interpretation of the gist of genesis in poetic form as I know of. -
on Clouds And Waves by Rabindranath Tagore, on April 20, 2006
Good poem
It reminds me of a context in neo-platonism that could be considered a paradigmatic derivative of the Enneads of Plotinus. In the realm of the Soul the material world is created. The material world is an emmination from The One or God, and at this third level down (and just below the realm of forms) The Soul might consider its actualization in various contexts such as Rabidranth elucidated above.
The Soul encapsulated in part as a sort of individualized fractalized soul may be human and whole, or fractioned and dysfunctional losing track of the one. Of course unbelievers may forever be lost from renormalization unto The One chasing after cold dark matter or whatever. Everything is eternal although actualization of forms changes.
I must say that it is a better idea than writing something more morbid like 'The graveyard is an old acquantaince, keeping the old friends society together until one joins them, it allows a quiet rest through turbulent, brawling nights of war and winter.
Plotinus' paradigm is consistent with both Christianity and Evolution theory paradoxically. I rcently discovered that Pope John Paul also had accepted the notion that Genesis may be a sort of poetic sketch that can contain evolution theory, and it is a mainstream theological belief in theology schools. -
on The Avaricious by Theocritus, on April 6, 2006
Good Poem
Money talks, excrement verbalized walks was one U.S. congressman's opinion. Lobbying and influence peddling is rampant in congress, and the masses may prefer materialism and money to anything spiritual or philosophical, although they may just spend it all and descry the virtue of saving or avarice. I wonder if Theocritus would have criticized too much spending as an evil equal to avarice?
Controversial and paradoxical subject
This is an interesting poem atypical of the age of growing worliness perhaps; Hegelianism and Darwinism were flourishing in an era when science and technology were as well. Perhaps that is the cause of alluding to Shakespeare with words from the Bible used by God in describing the earth as his footstool and the heavens his recliner chair(an inexact paraphrase for now). Perhaps people of the time were overtaken with the WS's cleverness (darn he was a great playwright)...and too overtaken by the rash of technology flooding human society. Many even today have permitted technical progress to overcome their philosophical and religious sensesm and their good judgment too has been cast into a pit of cosmic physics and disinterpretation of the meanings of scripture...oh well.Shakespeare (the playwright) was a good writer and some suspect that he was just a front for some anonymous royal that really wrote the plays and who sought to hide his identity from royal reprisals for writing at all.
Shakespeare had never travelled outside England, and wrote knowingly about Europe and Italy, which some use as indirect proof of another being the actual author or alternatiively of much borrowing of material by Shakespeare from other writers in an era when copyright laws probably wern't needed much.
