That would not fly in today's sterile Common Bore textbooks that cannot offend the sensibilities of a Texan audience (think the ostracized English teacher in The Last Picture Show). Furthermore, statistically most of today's h.s. students don't have the attention to get past the first few lines of the poems, if they can even get that far. Most of today's capable youths have been coopted by the corporate technocracy (which Ferlinghetti was reacting to) to pay much heed to Ferlinghetti. You were ahead of your time and are actually still more youthful than many of today's essentially cybernetic screenagers. I concur, though. Sometimes, Ferlinghetti writes with a rather glib iconoclasm, especially regarding Christianity. That's not exactly the case in this poem, which is more reverent than Yeats' famous and ultramodern "second coming" poem (I've never known what to make of that one). Rilke, another modernistic poet, also made humanistic characterizations of Christ. I don't think L.F., who is more mystical, is quite as atheistic or modernistic as these other poets. Ferlinghetti does fall in with a tradition, though. Larry Ferlinghetti does make a connection to theodicy and John of the Cross in citing the phrase "the darkest night." Even the Bible can be rather strange and comical, the images of "Moses seeing God's hind quarters" or Jonah and the whale. Famous Old Testament scholar Walter Brueggemann has also lashed out against the consumerism and materialism in similar fashion to what Ferlinghetti is doing. It is, after all, vanity fair (think John Bunyan). Powerful stuff and not irreconcilable with Christian nor with non-Christians.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3211526729155912926.post-11505770368827010032014-10-23T04:59:34.771-04:002014-10-23T04:59:34.771-04:00A lovely piece of music.

Their marriage doesn't always look perfect but they are "FOREVER" no matter what happens and that has inspired me!<br />My parents, too, believe in the courtship model although somewhat loosely. We don't really use that term much but the principle is still the same. I can't imagine marrying someone who my parents didn't like/approve of and I would never walk down that aisle without my parents by my side (Lord willing, they are still living of course).<br />I submit to my parents even though I'm an adult. Not because they are controlling but because I WANT to be under their protective umbrella. I know they know me better than I know myself sometimes ;-) They can see things about prospective young men that I might tend to gloss over. Also, my parents don't treat me as anything less than an adult. They honor and appreciate my input all the time. <br />Unfortunately, there is a trend occurring among Christian families- the devil is stealing away the firstborn and leading them astray and it ends in total rebellion against their upbringing. I see it happening all around me constantly. If it's not the 1st born, it is usually the 1st born girl in the family. The reason the devil wants the 1st born is because that is his avenue to stealing away the rest of the children and the firstborn is precious in God's eyes.<br /><br />My "dream" is to marry someone like my brothers whom I highly respect and admire. I think my parents did an excellent job with them. :)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3211526729155912926.post-11025134736616615612013-06-10T22:07:33.765-04:002013-06-10T22:07:33.765-04:00Thanks for sharing this blog and post over at Whol...Thanks for sharing this blog and post over at WholeHearted Home.

As the wife and manager of a professional artist, I encourage her to pursue her studies on her own, regardless of whether or not she attends art school. My Norwegian Artist, Steve Henderson, encourages his workshop students to do three major things: 1)paint paint paint or sculpt sculpt sculpt -- too many artists spend too little time at what they do and 2) study art that you like, both dead and live artists, and analyze why you like it or why you don't, and 3) make sure you have a firm handle on the basics and aren't continuously compensating for the lack of them. Best wishes for Lydia in her future.
