Some time back I engaged, here in fact, with Zach Wells over the relative merits of poems by Peter Van Toorn and Thomas Hardy. Heres Zach:

“I dont know of anyone who would hold up The Love-Letters as an example of Hardys finest verse. Its a weak poem. The smile of pleasantry is a lame stretch for an e rhyme. Of what, I did not know is a stock procrustean device to fill out the stanza. The feminine rhyme of letters and fetters, in back-to-back lines hits with a heavy-handed clang. The poem isnt without appeal, but if this was the best Hardy could manage, we wouldnt be reading him anymore today and Larkin certainly wouldnt have taken such a shine to him. Neutral Tones; The Darkling Thrush; Hap; Channel Firing; In Wind and Rainthese are poems worth spending some time on.”

and part of my response:

“if we follow the logic of yourargument, then the status of all under-appreciated poems would lie static. Van Toorn, because few have admired his work, would remain buried in the past, instead of alive, thanks in part to your appreciation, in this exchange today.”

I drag this up again because just yesterday between steam and freeze cycles at Le Nordik spa slightly North of Ottawa in Chelsea I happened upon a review by Lytton Strachey of Thomas Hardys poems. The Love-Letters isnt singled out for particular praise, however its characteristic weaknesses are I think, beautifully defended. Strachey begins by suggesting that Hardys work is especially designed to disprove the theory that harmony of sound, mastery of rhythm, and the exact and exquisite employment of words lie at poetrys soul, and that without them the noblest thoughts and finest feelings will never rise above tolerable verse.

Strachey follows this with the contention that Hardys work is full of poetry, and yet also full of ugly and cumbrous expressions, clumsy metres, and flat, prosaic turns of speech; not merely superficial, occasional blemishes these, but rather an essential ingredient. Hardy speaks, says Lytton, he does not sing. He talks in the voice of a modern man or woman who finds it difficultto put into words exactly what is in the mind. He is incorrect; but then how unreal and artificial a thing is correctness! He fumbles; but it is that very fumbling that brings him so near to ourselves.

Hesitating, drab and clumsywhat a relief such uncertainties and inexpressivenesses are, says Strachey, after the delicate exactitudes of our more polished poets. Their taste, scholarship and art though admirable seem so irremediably remote and cold; while the flat, undistinguished poetry of Mr. Hardy has found out the secret of touching our marrow-bones.

(In memorium H.R.)

I met him quite by accident

Its the clumsy, heartbroken, self-effacement that gets me.

It wasnt a secret that Cindy McCain supported the rights of lesbians, gays, bi-sexual and transgendered people. So her participation in this PSA for the pro-gay marriage NOH8 Campaign isnt whats so surprising.

It is rather eyebrow-raising that the wife of Arizona Senator John McCain pins gay bullying and gay suicide on religious and political leaders. She says they send the message that gay kids will have no future. She says they teach bullies that its OK to look down on gays and lesbians.

Our government treats the LGBT community as second-class citizens. Why shouldnt they?

The once First Lady-hopeful practically reaches through the video to shake her husband by the shoulders. He is against the repeal of the militarys Dont Ask, Dont Tell policy. Hes also opposed to gay marriage.

Its possible Cindy McCain has nothing left to lose when she so obviously calls out her husband for his intolerance, but it still takes some big ones to do. And its an example of what all of us need to do, every one of us. We moms and dads, grandmothers and uncles need to speak up and keep speaking about how, no, there is no sound argument for DADT. And that denying two consenting adults the right to marry is not only prejudice plain and simple, its sending a loud and painful message to little girls and boys all over the country.

Cindy McCains outspoken-ness would have been welcome two years ago, but this shows its never too late for people to start talking. And maybe, if her message gets through to certain Arizona senators, never too late to change your mind in favor of humanity.

“I grew up in such an open communitydoing theater in San Francisco. I mean, it doesnt get much, stereotypically, ‘gayer.’ I was inadvertently raised in the ‘gay community.’ I had straight parents, but I spent massive amounts of time at a very early age with gay, theater-hopeful thirty-somethings. And those were the people I spent time with early on, so my whole perception of ’sexuality’ just wasnt there. It just…was. It even got to the point where, later in life… I had all the components in place. I was, well, not super effeminate, but I was into girly thingsI liked musical theater, all the stereotypical things. I had to come out and say, ‘Well, Im sorry, but I think Im straight.’ And people were like, ‘Say it aint so!’ And I would say, ‘Its been a secret too long, but Im actually a straight male.’”

Criss added, “And so for the longest time, when people asked me about Blaine, I wanted to say it doesnt matter. And it doesnt. But I dont want to devalue it, because its a very earnest question, and I can see why people would want to know. And I realized that if I said, ‘It doesnt matter,’ that immediately means that Im gay. So I do define myself as a straight male, but it really doesnt come into play with me in this role. As an actor, your objective is always to play the scene. And this case, he happens to be a gay teen.”

Arlington National Cemetery Changing Of The Guard Arlington National Cemetery

arlington national cemetery changing of the guard Arlington National Cemetery

Arlington National Cemetery is hallowed ground. Walking the hills takes energy, but not as much as those who lie under its earth. The METRO drops you off at the entrance. From there it is a walk uphill to the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier. The changing of the guard occurs every half hour and is a ritual not to be missed. The ritual reminds the visitor of all of the men and women who have given their lives for our freedom.

On the way are the graves of Joe Lewis, Chappie James, and William Byrd.

Behind the tomb and amphitheater are the tributes to the Challenger victims and the soldiers who gave their lives for the Iran hostages.

Up the road is the home of Robert E. Lee. Marrying into the family of Mary Anne Randolph Custis, the grand niece of George Washington, the home is more a memorial to Washington and the Custis family, than to Lee. Here, overlooking the Capital he so loved, he was torn between upholding his commission with the Union Army or taking up his sword in honor of his homeland, the Commonwealth of Virginia.

The Lees had a rich history in the cousinage of the Commonwealth and it was for homeland and family that he chose. Naturally the Union confiscated his land and began using it as a cemetery. When the war was over he complained that the graves were too close to the house and helped in the placement of them.

Directly below Arlington House is directly above the eternal flame at the gravesite of JFKennedy. Jackie and two of their children are buried with him. A short distance from there is his brother, Robert. The atmosphere of the cemetery is that of a pilgrimage to a sacred place. Perhaps, this cemetery is one of the most sacred in this country. The thousands of men and women, buried on these 1,500 acres are a reminder of the blood shed so that we have the rights, which we so dearly love and cherish.

An unedited video of the Changing of the Guard at the Tomb of the Unknowns in Arlington National Cemetery, Washington DC.Please take a look at Video History Today www.videohistorytoday.com , the first web site to offer unique collections of re-usable original video clips designed for teachers and students.
