The processes we observe around us are the result of changing groupings or arrangements of atoms; the qualitative aspects of experience are the results of their collisions with the atoms of our soul or mind. However, Democritus is very explicit that we cannot expect to have knowledge of qualities. By convention are sweet and bitter, hot and cold, by convention is colour; in truth are atoms and the void. …There are two forms of knowledge, one genuine, one obscure. To the o...

• From Bulfinch's Mythology: Orpheus and Eurydice - anthology.

  Now under hanging mountains,Beside the falls of fountains,Or where Hebrus wanders,Rolling in meanders,All alone,He makes his moan,And calls her ghost,For ever, ever, ever lost!Now with furies surrounded,Despairing, confounded,He trembles, he glows,Amidst Rhodope's snows.See, wild as the winds o'er the desert he flies;Hark! Hæmus resounds with the Bacchanals' cries.Ah, see, he dies!Yet even in death Eurydice he sung,Eurydice still trembled on his tongue:Eurydice the woodsEurydice the floodsEurydi...

• Certeau, Michel de

  Heterology, the second of de Certeau's philosophical inflections, is his name for the 'science' of otherness or alterity. Its topic is whatever resists being named, classified, or organized in a body of knowledge, often what generates or inspires it. This resistant other takes the form of those nocturnal musings, beings, impressions, dreams or epiphanic flashes that fascinate but cause consternation to the diurnal being. Frequently, the other who irrupts into the familiar world of samene...

• The Varieties of the Millennial Experience

  I.1 Varieties 2 Resurrection of the Dead ( al-Qiy āma ) and the Day of Judgment ( Yawm al-H i s āb) are at hand. 4 Eschatological thought tends towards totalism: the conclusion is final and decisive, a closed solution. The messiness of earthly existence must itself burn up in the process. This vision of a f inal and ultimate solution welcomes zero -sum thinking (dualistic), imagining a closed form of redemption: the good in heaven, the evil in hell; the body and all its disorder...

  repetition of certain lines and the rhyming of certain lines. The Provençal sestina features a set of six words that end lines (end-words), repeated in a dizzyingly complexpattern. The range of effects created by the poetic line varies tremendously depending on its length, its patterns of repetition, and whether the sentence stops at the end of theline (end-stopped) or carries over the end of the line (enjambed). Many of the earliest examples of Old English poetry feature an accentual line with...
