Bible (YLT) 22: Song of Solomon by YOUNG'S LITERAL TRANSLATION ( - ) Genre(s): Bibles, Young's Literal Translation Read by: in English Chapters: 00:00:00 - 01 - Chapter 1 00:03:05 - 02 - Chapter 2 00:06:06 - 03 - Chapter 3 00:08:27 - 04 - Chapter 4 00:11:44 - 05 - Chapter 5 00:14:54 - 06 - Chapter 6 00:17:23 - 07 - Chapter 7 00:19:59 - 08 - Chapter 8 The Song of Songs, also known as the Song of Solomon, the Canticle of Canticles, or simply Canticles, is one of the books of the Ketuvim (the 'Writings', the last section of the Hebrew Bible), and the fifth of the 'wisdom' books of the Christian Old Testament. Scripturally, the Song of Songs is unique in that it makes no reference to 'Law' or 'Covenant', nor does it teach or explore 'wisdom' in the manner of Proverbs or Ecclesiastes. Instead, it celebrates sexual love. It gives 'the voices of two lovers, praising each other, yearning for each other, proffering invitations to enjoy'. The two are in harmony, each desiring the other and rejoicing in sexual intimacy; the women (or 'daughters') of Jerusalem form a chorus to the lovers, functioning as an audience whose participation in the lovers' erotic encounters facilitates the participation of the reader.Jewish tradition reads it as an allegory of the relationship between God and Israel. Christian tradition, in addition to appreciating the literal meaning of a romantic song between man and woman, has read the poem as an allegory of Christ (the bridegroom) and his Church (the bride).

Tongues of Conscience (1898) is a collection of five thought-provoking stories where an innocent, but selfish, action leads to horrific consequences. Robert Hichens writes some wonderfully evocative descriptions of nature: from a raw and exposed violent seascape, to the serene and idyllic countryside '…the violets seemed to sing in odours…' , to a train pushing through the white-out of a blizzard.In Sea Change an artist with a dark secret ('…I painted for him in words, the varying colors of waves in different seas… I drowned little Jack in the sea.') shares the details of his guilt with a priest who tells a simple white lie in an effort to save his tortured friend's sanity. In 'William Foster', the works of an author rouses his own wife's religious nature with a most shocking result. In The Cry of the Child a gifted but egotistic doctor is haunted by the wail of his dead baby, but finds salvation with the sacrifice of someone else's most selfless act. In How Love Came to Professor Guildea a scientist whose research has done wonderful things for humanity, confronts the terror of finding himelf loved. And finally, in The Lady and the Beggar, a wealthy woman's will leaves her bounty to the poor, but only after she learns a very expensive lesson.. - Summary by LisaR More information: http://librivox.org/tongues-of-conscience-by-robert-smythe-hichens/ LibriVox - free public domain audiobooks (https://librivox.org/)

[...] Nel 1903, la raccolta definitiva comprendeva 156 liriche del poeta. I componimenti in esso raccolti sono dedicati al ciclo delle stagioni, al lavoro dei campi e alla vita contadina. Il titolo indica la modestia e la semplicità della poetica. Le myricae, le umili tamerici, diventano un simbolo delle tematiche del Pascoli ed evocano riflessioni profonde. La descrizione realistica cela un significato più ampio così che, dal mondo contadino si arriva poi ad un significato universale. La rappresentazione della vita nei campi e della condizione contadina è solo all'apparenza il messaggio che il poeta vuole trasmettere con le sue opere. [...] Il significato delle Myricae, va quindi oltre l'apparenza. (Summary from Wikipedia) More information: http://librivox.org/myricae-by-giovanni-pascoli/
