![]() ![]() So, there you have it: a pastoral setting and an opportunity for risqué punchlines.īut near the end of the Tudor Era, Europe started to come of age, and so while writers like Herbert stressed an Edenic sound morality and intellect - nature and wit - other authors were growing cynically sophisticated, like Donne before he was converted in his deep malaise. That through the green cornfields did pass So early Shakespeare is full of Eden-like natural settings in which wit ruled the roost: (But let’s first take a look back to the early Renaissance before the Reformation clicked into high gear.)Īt that time, artists heartened back to the classical ideal of the Whole Human Being - “mens sana in corpora sano.” But the intellect was always their watchtower. I think he’s right, and I’ll use one example from this book to show you the prelapsarian (in a literary sense) genius of George Herbert. ![]() Eliot, the term perfectly characterizes that moment in history when poetic writing became split into a Cartesian duality - ‘A disassociation of sensibility.’Īnd that, he says, happened back in the late Renaissance.

When I’d clambered up there as an adult, alone, I’d been struck by how claustrophobic the view looked, with new buildings filling the neighborhoods around where there had once been open air. Brooklyn sprawling around us as fireworks burst in the distance. ![]() When I was a teenager, Mommy and Drea and I would picnic on the roof every Fourth of July. ![]() ![]() is killed in a car accident, leaving Corinne deep in debt with no means to support her children.

Nonetheless, this remake is good, but it could have been better as well. With this remake, you get a far shorter film, one that doesn't reach its potential and in turn lacks the development that made the original so good. With the original, it took its time to let the story unfold and it worked brilliantly and that's one of the main reasons that Tarkovsky's Sci Fi classic is so unique and ultimately memorable. The acting in this remake is very good, and I thought that overall it was a solid film, but it also rushed through the story a bit. This remake is good, but it never comes close to the original. With that being said, Watch the original film instead, it's far superior and it's a classic of the genre. Of course, this film echoes what the 1976 film had, but it never goes in depth with its subject, and it doesn't do anything new or refreshing. I thought it was a good take on the classic film, but it doesn't have the epic visuals and terrific, yet simple story that the original possessed. This 2002 remake of Andrei Tarkovsky's Solaris manages to be far less ambitious and goes straight to the point. ![]() ![]() ![]() “Intellectual property rights are sometimes hailed as the mother of creativity and invention. ![]() Life 3.0: Being Human in the Age of Artificial Intelligence That’s what’s always happened before, like with the invention of the wheel and the plow.” But we have more jobs than ever today, and they’re better too: I’d much rather pull a light carriage through town than spend all day walking in circles to power a stupid mine-shaft pump.” “But what if this internal combustion engine thing really takes off?” “I’m sure there’ll be new new jobs for horses that we haven’t yet imagined. “I’m worried about technological unemployment.” “Neigh, neigh, don’t be a Luddite: our ancestors said the same thing when steam engines took our industry jobs and trains took our jobs pulling stage coaches.

As the newlyweds' chaperone, conspirator, and confidant, Will is privy to his one-armed, renegade grandfather's second adolescence meanwhile, he does some growing up of his own. ![]() Boggled by the sheer audacity of it all, and not a little jealous of his grandpa's new wife, Will nevertheless approves of this May-December match and follows its progress with just a smidgen of youthful prurience. And young Will Tweedy suddenly finds himself eyewitness to a major scandal. Rucker Blakeslee announces one July morning in 1906 that he's aiming to marry the young and freckledy milliner, Miss Love Simpson - a bare three weeks after Granny Blakeslee has gone to her reward - the news is served up all over town with that afternoon's dinner.

I want more because I can’t get enough of this character, this world, the words on the page, the emotional depth and the hope that is delivered in the final pages. I will start this review by saying short stories are not usually my thing, in fact I tend to avoid them because I know I’ll be left wanting more – and strangely enough, I want more of Tetley Abednego, but in this instance it’s not a criticism.
