wikisourcelang fr L Art d tre grand p re L Art d tre grand p re The Art of Being a Grandfather is a substantial book of poems by Victor Hugo , published in 1877. They were among the last he wrote. On 13 March 1871, his 44 year old son Charles died of a stroke, while riding in a carriage to a farewell dinner for some of Victor s friends at a restaurant in Bordeaux. Charles s wife died shortly afterwards, and Victor Hugo became the guardian of their children, Georges and Jeanne Hugo. The poems describe the feelings of a grandfather entrusted with innocent young children. Love and tenderness are celebrated, discipline is discounted the freshness and laughter of the young soften the potential bleakness of old age. A trip to the zoo sets the poet musing. Many charming scenes are depicted. He keeps up his attack on tyranny and bigotry, and his search for truth.

Reveries of a Bachelor or A Book of the Heart is a work of American literature written in 1850 by Donald Grant Mitchell , who used the pseudonym Ik Marvel. A reverie is an irregular train of thought or abstract musing, and Mitchell writes on four different themes Smoke, Flame, and Ashes Sea Cole and Anthracite A Cigar three times Lighted Morning, Noon and Evening. The first two reveries were originally published in 1849 in the magazine Southern Literary Messenger and in 1850 the four essays were published in book format to great public acclaim. ref Smoke, Flame, and Ashes.

Unreferenced date December 2009 Sweet Polly Oliver is an England English folk music folk song Roud Folk Song Index Roud 367 , dating from at least 1840. It is also known as Pretty Polly Oliver . It is one of the best known of a number of folk songs describing woman Crossdressing during wartime disguising themselves as men to join the army. Thomas Root wrote a symphonic band arrangement of Sweet Polly Oliver. Benjamin Britten also wrote an arrangement for voice and piano. As sweet Polly Oliver lay musing in bed, A sudden strange fancy came into her head. Nor father nor mother shall make me false prove, I ll list as a soldier, and follow my love. So early next morning she softly arose, And dressed herself up in her dead brother s clothes. She cut her hair close, and she stained her face brown, And went for a soldier to fair London Town. Then up spoke the sergeant one day at his drill, Now who s good for nursing? A captain, he s ill. I m ready, said Polly. To nurse him she s gone, And finds it s her true love all wasted and wan. The first week the doctor kept shaking his head, No nursing, young fellow, can save him, he said. But when Polly Oliver had nursed him back to life He cried, You have cherished him as if you were his wife . O then Polly Oliver, she burst into tears And told the good doctor her hopes and her fears, And very shortly after, for better or for worse, The captain took joyfully his pretty soldier nurse.

File ChanceConrad.jpg thumb right 1st edition dustwrapper Chance is a novel by Joseph Conrad , published in 1913 following serial publication the previous year. Although the novel was not one upon which Conrad s later critical reputation was to depend, it was his greatest commercial success upon initial publication. Citation needed date June 2009 Chance is narrated by Conrad s regular narrator , Charles Marlow , but is characterised by a complex, nested narrative in which different narrators take up the story at different points. The novel is also unusual among its author s works for its focus on a female character the heroine, Flora de Barral. The narrators describe and attempt to interpret various episodes in the life of Miss de Barral, the daughter of a convicted Ponzi scheme swindler named Smith de Barral though this character is famous in the world of the novel as a criminal, he may, at least at first, have been merely an incompetent banker . Miss de Barral leads a sheltered life while her father is prosperous, then must rely on the generosity of others, who resent her or have agendas for her, before she escapes by marrying one Captain Anthony. Much of the book involves the musing of the various narrators over what she and the Captain expected from this union, and what they actually got from it. When her father is released from prison, he joins them on ship, and the book heads towards its denouement.

One of nine friends is responsible for her death, yet her ghostly, echoed cries will haunt each of them forever. Iizuka weaves together the parallel paths each friend takes that lead to their own tragic fates. Her ghost story morphs into a multi layered musing on grief, loss, guilt and karma, and the elusive truth behind missing girl s life and death reveals itself one piece at a time. Because Iizuka set the structure of Japanese Noh drama, with its ghostly presences and shifting time, against the rural landscape of North Carolina, we likewise juxtapose elements of Japanese drama with clearly drawn characters from a mountain village in the South, . What surfaces is a beautifully poetic Appalachian voice a familiar voice of hardship, despair and grief elegantly spun into a centuries old dramatic structure.

one source date August 2011 The White Rose was written by Lillian Garrett Groag and premiered in 1991 at the Old Globe Theatre in San Diego , Calif. The play chronicles the arrest, interrogation and eventual execution of a group of University of Munich students who protested the Nazi regime at the height of World War II . The students assigned to themselves the name White Rose . The play has roles for seven males and one female. The strongest roles belong to Robert Mohr Gestapo Robert Mohr , the head of the Munich Gestapo , and Sophie Scholl , one of the students. Mohr, moved by Scholl s passion and mindful that she is German, but not Jewish , attempts to save her by giving her a chance to recant, but she refuses. The play ends with a spotlight on Scholl snapping off, symbolizing her beheading, and Mohr musing, The most we can hope for is to get by. Heroes and ... carefully demagogues will always shake things up for a while, but if we re clever, we ll still be here when they re gone. At which point, a Gestapo investigator attempts to be encouraging, noting that people like Mohr are of enormous use to the Reich. Thus concludes the theme of the play, that people, not monsters, are responsible for great communal disasters, and each of those people had a moment of choice, according to Garrett Groag in her Foreword . ref name Garrett Groag 1993 cite book last Garrett Groag first Lillian authorlink Lillian Garrett Groag title The White Rose publisher Dramatist s Play Service year 1993 id ISBN 0 8222 1352 4 ref The White Rose won the AT&T Award for New American Plays.
