This poem discusses a woman's life and how it alternates between feeling bound and immeasurable. The sky darkens as ancient trees hold the darkness. As the speaker watches, the landscape grows more distant, with one part journeying to heaven and one falling. The speaker leaves the woman feeling not at home in either place, neither as still and dark as darkened houses nor calling out to eternity with passion. The woman is left to unravel her immense and fearful life that is sometimes stone within her and sometimes a star.
Cleanth Brooks - The Language of ParadoxDilip Barad
This presentation is based on Cleanth Brooks's essay "The Language of Paradox,", wherein Cleanth Brooks emphasizes how the language of poetry is different from that of the sciences, claiming that he is interested in our seeing that the paradoxes spring from the very nature of the poet's language: “it is a language in which the connotations play as great a part as the denotations. And I do not mean that the connotations are important as supplying some sort of frill or trimming, something external to the real matter in hand. I mean that the poet does not use a notation at all--as a scientist may properly be said to do so. The poet, within limits, has to make up his language as he goes.”

2024.06.01 Introducing a competency framework for languag learning materials ...Sandy Millin
http://sandymillin.wordpress.com/iateflwebinar2024
Published classroom materials form the basis of syllabuses, drive teacher professional development, and have a potentially huge influence on learners, teachers and education systems. All teachers also create their own materials, whether a few sentences on a blackboard, a highly-structured fully-realised online course, or anything in between. Despite this, the knowledge and skills needed to create effective language learning materials are rarely part of teacher training, and are mostly learnt by trial and error.
Knowledge and skills frameworks, generally called competency frameworks, for ELT teachers, trainers and managers have existed for a few years now. However, until I created one for my MA dissertation, there wasn’t one drawing together what we need to know and do to be able to effectively produce language learning materials.
This webinar will introduce you to my framework, highlighting the key competencies I identified from my research. It will also show how anybody involved in language teaching (any language, not just English!), teacher training, managing schools or developing language learning materials can benefit from using the framework.
The Roman Empire A Historical Colossus.pdfkaushalkr1407
The Roman Empire, a vast and enduring power, stands as one of history's most remarkable civilizations, leaving an indelible imprint on the world. It emerged from the Roman Republic, transitioning into an imperial powerhouse under the leadership of Augustus Caesar in 27 BCE. This transformation marked the beginning of an era defined by unprecedented territorial expansion, architectural marvels, and profound cultural influence.
The empire's roots lie in the city of Rome, founded, according to legend, by Romulus in 753 BCE. Over centuries, Rome evolved from a small settlement to a formidable republic, characterized by a complex political system with elected officials and checks on power. However, internal strife, class conflicts, and military ambitions paved the way for the end of the Republic. Julius Caesar’s dictatorship and subsequent assassination in 44 BCE created a power vacuum, leading to a civil war. Octavian, later Augustus, emerged victorious, heralding the Roman Empire’s birth.
Under Augustus, the empire experienced the Pax Romana, a 200-year period of relative peace and stability. Augustus reformed the military, established efficient administrative systems, and initiated grand construction projects. The empire's borders expanded, encompassing territories from Britain to Egypt and from Spain to the Euphrates. Roman legions, renowned for their discipline and engineering prowess, secured and maintained these vast territories, building roads, fortifications, and cities that facilitated control and integration.
The Roman Empire’s society was hierarchical, with a rigid class system. At the top were the patricians, wealthy elites who held significant political power. Below them were the plebeians, free citizens with limited political influence, and the vast numbers of slaves who formed the backbone of the economy. The family unit was central, governed by the paterfamilias, the male head who held absolute authority.
Culturally, the Romans were eclectic, absorbing and adapting elements from the civilizations they encountered, particularly the Greeks. Roman art, literature, and philosophy reflected this synthesis, creating a rich cultural tapestry. Latin, the Roman language, became the lingua franca of the Western world, influencing numerous modern languages.
Roman architecture and engineering achievements were monumental. They perfected the arch, vault, and dome, constructing enduring structures like the Colosseum, Pantheon, and aqueducts. These engineering marvels not only showcased Roman ingenuity but also served practical purposes, from public entertainment to water supply.
The French Revolution, which began in 1789, was a period of radical social and political upheaval in France. It marked the decline of absolute monarchies, the rise of secular and democratic republics, and the eventual rise of Napoleon Bonaparte. This revolutionary period is crucial in understanding the transition from feudalism to modernity in Europe.

2. The sky puts on the darkening blue coatheld for it by a row of ancient trees;you watch: and the lands grow distant in your sight,one journeying to heaven, one that falls; and leave you, not at home in either one,not quite so still and dark as the darkened houses,not calling to eternity with the passion of what becomes a star each night, and rises;and leave you (inexpressibly to unravel)your life, with its immensity and fear,so that, now bounded, now immeasurable,it is alternately stone in you and star. The sky darkens to a blue the ancient trees holding the darkness;you watch: and the scenery gets farther away from you, one to heaven, one to hell; and I leave you, not at our homes, not empty and alone as the dark houses,not mournfully yelling at the sky asking wherethe stars are made every night, and rises;I leave you (to open up)your life, with it’s size and fear,so that, now tied up, now immeasurable,it will alternately dim, and shine. Evening Original Paraphrased

4. Middle of everything, heart of it all,closed minded like a nut, and getting sweeter-- All of the Milky Way, to the stars far awayand even beyond them, is your body, your children.Now you feel alone;your empty body reaches to the ends of the universe,and there the sweet, heavy fluids grow and glide.Lit up in your endless serenity,The night’s lights spin endlessly,lighting the sky above you.But within you something will be, when the stars die. Center of all centers, core of cores,almond self-enclosed, and growing sweet--all this universe, to the furthest starsall beyond them, is your flesh, your fruit.Now you feel how nothing clings to you;your vast shell reaches into endless space,and there the rich, thick fluids rise and flow.Illuminated in your infinite peace,a billion stars go spinning through the night,blazing high above your head.But in you is the presence thatwill be, when all the stars are dead. Buddha In Glory Original Paraphrase

6. A ghost, though invisible, still is like a placeyour sight can knock on, echoing; but herewithin this thick black pelt, your strongest gazewill be absorbed and utterly disappear:just as a raving madman, when nothing elsecan ease him, charges into his dark nighthowling, pounds on the padded wall, and feelsthe rage being taken in and pacified.She seems to hide all looks that have ever falleninto her, so that, like an audience,she can look them over, menacing and sullen,and curl to sleep with them. But all at onceas if awakened, she turns her face to yours;and with a shock, you see yourself, tiny,inside the golden amber of her eyeballssuspended, like a prehistoric fly. A spirit, even if invisible, is still like a placeyou can see, echoing; but hereinside this heavy black fur, your strongest stare,will be sucked in and cease to exist. Like a crazy yelling man, when there is nothing;that can soothe him, sprints into the black night,screaming, bashes into the cushioned wall, and feelsthe anger being sucked in and eased. She appears to hide her looks that godgave to her, so that, like a crowd before her,she can look at all of them, devious and broodingand lay to sleep with them. But all togetheras is woken up, she turns to face youand surprisingly, you see yourself, smallinside the her golden amber iriseshanging there, like an ancient insect. Black Cat Original Paraphrase

8. Do you remember still the falling starsthat like swift horses through the heavens raced and suddenly leaped across the hurdlesof our wishes--do you recall? And wedid make so many! For there were countless numbers of stars: each time we looked above we were astounded by the swiftness of their daring play, while in our hearts we felt safe and secure watching these brilliant bodies disintegrate, knowing somehow we had survived their fall. Do you recall the falling stars, that like horses races across the skies and suddenly jumped over the hurdles of our wishes – do you remember? And we made so many! Since there were tons of starts: and every time we looked up we were in awe from the speed of their brave play, and in our hearts we felt warm and safe watching the stars, knowing that while they die, we live.

10. Perhaps it's no more than the fire's reflectionon some piece of gleaming furniturethat the child remembers so much laterlike a revelation.And if in his later life, one daywounds him like so many others,it's because he mistook some riskor other for a promise.Let's not forget the music, either,that soon had hauled him toward absence complicatedby an overflowing heart.... Maybe it’s nothing but the reflection of the fireon some part of the new furniturethat the kid remembers later on in lifelike an epiphany.And maybe when he’s older, one dayhurts him like a lot of the others,it’s because he thought a riskwas a promise.Don’t forget about the music, as well,that quickly pulled himinto a complex sense of lossby a too full heart….. Fire’s Reflection Paraphrase Original

12. Encircled by her arms as by a shell,she hears her being murmur,while forever he enduresthe outrage of his too pure image...Wistfully following their example,nature re-enters herself;contemplating its own sap, the flowerbecomes too soft, and the boulder hardens...It's the return of all desire that enterstoward all life embracing itself from afar...Where does it fall? Under the dwindlingsurface, does it hope to renew a center? Her arms around me were like a shell,she listens to her heart,while he takes all of the anger of his white façade…Sadly following their standard,the Earth becomes herself again;thinking about it’s own sap, the flowerbegins to wilt, and mountain grows…Enter the return of the world’s desiresof all life accepting itself from a distance…Where shall it land? Beneath the shrinkingcover, perhaps it will be the new center? Narcissus Paraphrase Original

14. How my body blooms from every veinmore fragrantly, since you appeared to me;look, I walk slimmer now and straighter,and all you do is wait-:who are you then?Look: I feel how I'm moving away,how I'm shedding my old life, leaf by leaf.Only your smile spreads like sheer starsover you and, soon now, over me.Whatever shines through my childhood yearsstill nameless and gleaming like water,I will name after you at the altar,which is blazing brightly from your hairand braided gently with your breasts. My blood spills from my veinsalong with the scent, you come to me;see, my posture is better,and you sit there-: why are you here?See: I feel our distance growing,my past life sheds itself, bit by bit.Only your smile spreads like the stars in the skyover you, and then over me.I remember some things from my childhoodshining like water, with no name,You will be named at the baptism,which glows from your hairAnd flows in braids down your chest Sacrifice Paraphrase Original

16. She who did not come, wasn't she determinednonetheless to organize and decorate my heart?If we had to exist to become the one we love,what would the heart have to create?Lovely joy left blank, perhaps you arethe center of all my labors and my loves.If I've wept for you so much, it's becauseI preferred you among so many outlined joys. She never showed up, didn’t she want tocome and better my heart?If we only exist to become our beloveds, could our heart make anything?This blank canvas of joy, maybe you could bethe core of all my loving and efforts.If I’ve cried over you, it’s becauseI want you more than common joy. Blank Joy Paraphrase Original

18. My whole life is mine, but whoever says sowill deprive me, for it is infinite.The ripple of water, the shade of the skyare mine; it is still the same, my life.No desire opens me: I am full,I never close myself with refusal-in the rythm of my daily soulI do not desire-I am moved;by being moved I exert my empire,making the dreams of night real:into my body at the bottom of the waterI attract the beyonds of mirrors... My life belongs to me, but if someone agreeswill take it away from me, because it is everlasting.The movement in the water, the cover of the cloudsbelong to me; it is one, with my life.I keep myself closed, full to the brim,But not shut because of defiance-in the beating of my heartI do not want- displace me;have being displaces I make my kingdom, creating my nightly visions a reality;from the floor of the lake my bodyattracts others worlds… Water Lily Paraphrase Original

20. What I have already learned as a lover,I see you, beloved, learning angrily;then for you it distantly departed,now your destiny stands in all the stars.Over your breasts we will together contend:since as glowingly shining they've ripened,so also your hands desire to touch themand their own pleasure superintend. This is what I’ve learned as a lover,I see you, my love, angrily learning;then it departs for the distance,and your fate is left with the stars. Above your bosom we will spend time:becoming radiant as they’ve grown,your hands curious to touch themas you bring yourself pleasure. Greek Love-Talk Paraphrase Original
