The document discusses religious and solar symbolism implied in Robert Browning's poem "The Pied Piper of Hamelin". It argues that references to the sun, New Testament, and words with biblical meanings are present throughout the poem. It also analyzes specific words highlighted in yellow (related to the sun) and blue (related to religion) and how they contribute to the overarching religious themes and imagery in the poem despite being at the literal level. The document provides context on the legend that informed Browning's poem and scholarship that has noted its symbolic meanings.
Altarwise_by_Owl_light_by_Dylan_Thomas (2).pdf
Altarwise by Owl-Light is probably Dylan Thomas' most obscure poem and can therefore be all too readily dismissed as a bewildering and incoherent work. On closer inspection this judgment does not prove valid for resons adduced in this study.
17th Century
The Seventeenth Century in England was a period of civil unrest and religious strife under King Charles I, leading to the Protectorate of Oliver Cromwell. After the restoration of the monarchy, literature flourished, especially metaphysical poetry exemplified by John Donne. Metaphysical poetry focused on philosophical and religious issues through the use of paradoxes, irony, and elaborate conceits. It also featured Cavalier lyricists who composed lighthearted poetry in support of King Charles.
Back_to_The_Logos.pdf
According to Goethe's drama FAUST PART I Faust struggles with the issue as to how he should choose the most fitting word with which to render the sense of 'logos in the Greek New Testament. He decides on TAT (deed, act) instead of the more commonly accepted WORT (word, verbum). Much later leon Trotsky accused the Russian Formalists of siding with Saint John in lending words a religious aura while he sided with Faust in the assertion: in the beginning was the deed. Who was right?

The_Hidden_Power_of_the_Allegory (3).docx
A certain prejudice sometimes alleges that allegories are outmoded metaphorical devices but as one literary scholar has note a traveller may be a symbol of a pilgrim or seeker of truth and a mountain may be a symbol of the soul's aspiration but once the traveller has set foot towards a mountain an allegory arises irrespective of the author's intentions as subconscious forces in the mind flow into the process of poetic creation.
