![]() ![]() Case in point is the story “The Haircuts” which tells the tale of how calm Ling gets her haircut without any fuss or bother, whereas fidgety Ting cannot sit still. Ling and Ting look alike and sound alike (and sometimes even dress alike) but they are not exactly the same, in spite of the world claiming the contrary. Six very short stories tell tales about these twin girls. ![]() Grace Lin has given us Ling & Ting: Not Exactly the Same!, a book in the same vein as your Frog & Toad or Amelia Bedelia tales. Past success is no indication of future talent. When I heard that author Grace Lin, master of the novel, the early chapter book, and the picture book, was trying her hand at the easy reader format I was concerned. Some authors whip them out so easily it shocks the senses (see: Mo Willems’ Elephant & Piggy books). Easy books (I should say GOOD easy books) are an acquired talent. ![]() Harder than a child-friendly mystery series. Harder than asking them to write a romantic vampire novel. I am personally convinced that this is probably the most difficult thing you can ask an author to do. Now ask them to create a good easy-to-read book for children. Sit them down in a comfortable chair in front of a table. ![]() Simply hand them a piece of paper and a pencil. If you want to gauge the merit of a children’s author it’s easy as pie. ![]() ![]() ![]() The most important of Goethe’s works produced before he went to Weimar were his tragedy “Gotz von Berlichingen” (1773), which first brought him fame, and “The Sorrows of Young Werther,” a novel which obtained enormous popularity during the so-called “Sturm und Drang” period. From about 1794 he devoted himself chiefly to literature, and after a life of extraordinary productiveness died at Weimar, March 22, 1832. He took part in the wars against France, 1792-3, and in the following year began his friendship with Schiller, which lasted till the latter’s death in 1805. From 1786 to 1788 he traveled in Italy, and from 179′ to 1817 directed the ducal theater at Weimar. At the invitation of Karl August, Duke of Saxe-Weimar, he went in 1775 to live in Weimar, where he held a succession of political offices, becoming the Duke’s chief adviser. The young Goethe studied at the universities of Leipsic and Strasburg, and in 1772 entered upon the practise of law at Wetzlar. His father was a man of means and position, and he personally supervised the early education of his son. ![]() JOHANN WOLFGANG VON GOETHE, the greatest of German men of letters, was born at Frank fort-on-the-Main, August 28, 1749. ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() Translated by Jane Hirshfield with Mariko Aratani, this is an edition that brings the story of the poems to life with a detailed introduction and notes on the translation. 'They are full of dreams, of autumns, of lovers known or not yet met, of desire, wonderment, loneliness' Irish Times The introduction mentions the ancient Greek use of standard poetic descriptions, citing Homers 'wine dark sea' as an example, and I think thats the allusion made in the title. These vivid and erotic poems express love in all its forms, and do so with amazing economy of words, unforgettable imagery and breath-taking modernity. The phrase 'ink dark moon' is not used by either poet (unless I missed it), although the individual words appear many times thought the collection. A convention of secrecy surrounding love affairs fills these verses with palpable emotion. ![]() Education and refinement were so highly valued that the courtly manner of expressing oneself, whether to give condolences for a death, to send back a forgotten fan, or to heighten the anticipation of a lover's visit, was with a poem of just five lines. They originate from a time in Japanese history where aristocratic women of the Heian court were free to marry and conduct love affairs according to their desires. Here is a collection of sexy, brief, fleeting poems about love, lust and longing. ![]() |
