Edgar Allen Poe statue in Boston, the amazing thing about it

The Amazing thing about the Edgar Allan Poe statue in Boston, which we strolled by on Halloween night is that right on the way is the burial ground on Boston Common where thegrave of painter Gilbert Stuart is. It is dated 1755-1828. Please take a minute to find out who he was. Gilbert Stuart, painter Having returned early during the evening, I'm waiting to read Poe when the assignment comes in during the ensuing weeks; tonight I'm studying New England Civic Verse in the 1680's and the Jeremaid in my massive open online course offerred by Harvard University.

Scott Lord on Shakespeare: Silent Film- Cymbeline

On our return to "one of the 19 floors in Cambridge" we were greeted by a new rabbit in the courtyard (a baby rabbit) and a new possum (a baby possum) within a half our of each other, The possum is at the moment smaller than the rabbit- they are approximately the same size. In Rockport, I quickly passed an Introduction to Philosophy Mooc from the University of Edinburgh, 100% on the first two weeks of quizzes, and we're now in our third week. While there I began two other MOOCs, Harvard Poetry and Penn Poetry- so it was what I did while there, and there is a lot left. Now here, another MOOC has begun, Shakespeare from the University of Warwick, which is virtually Stratford on Avon. So here's the updated listed. Completed: University of Copenhagen: Scandinavian Film University of Edinburgh: Modern Art University of Leicester: Richard III University of Sheffield: British Literature In Progress: Harvard University: Poetry University of Pennsylvania: Poetry University of Warwick: Shakespeare Upcoming: University of Copenhagen: Kierkegaard University of Nottingham: Literature The heartbreak is Literature from Brown University- it is still in progress but I won't promise its completion. Of interest were lectures on the novel Manon Lescaut and Pride and Prejudice. Usually I do read novels rather than take courses, but the vacation by the ocean and the incoming schedule of courses made it so the reading of a novel a week was more something I did last summer. I still might read one to four of the novels from the course and watch the accompanying lectures for those novels.

A dome of many-coloured glass-Summer ended with a game of tennis in Rockport

A dome of many-coloured glass



Summer ended with a game of tennis in Rockport. Here's the new chapter from my novel:



     Her serve is good; she discourses upon her backhand. Covered in soap as I held her, she claimed she was having an orgasm in the shower.

Oddly, and there had been a gully, or lull, in the courses I was taking on line, when we got to Rockport the schedule of classes opened up three new courses, all of which are of interest to me- the only draw back is that I was in the middle of an intensive course from Brown that requires ten novels, five that you would want to finish even if you were to leave an incomplete. But, importantly, Poetry from Penn and Harvard began the week we went on vacation with a course from the University of Edinburgh on Philosophy. I have passed the one week of philosophy, played catch-up with Penn Poetry after having joined the course a week late and have began a study of the fascinating poetry of Massachusetts-Puritan poet Ann Bradstreet offerred by Harvard. A poet named Charles Olson was being studied by a student for the U Penn Mooc- he wrote an ode to Gloucester, Massachusetts, so I had to explain that I met his contemporary, poet Vincent Ferrini, the day before I left the Gloucester-Rockport area. (I new another poet that read in Boston and thought that I would give it a try). This week's philosophy lecture is about Epistemology and having written an essay on Emily Dickinson, the lectures in U Penn poetry begin with the poet William Carlos Williams as an heir to Dickinson. Harvard Poetry included lectures last night which compared the blood of Jesus to God's seminal flow, so my essay was titled, Man's Divine Ejaculation and other Lightening Bolts. Learn the word Conceit, which is a way to pattern, or develop, metaphor throughout the stanzas by the contrast of images. the word poetic ambiguity ended up in my notes as well. While Donna was working in the church library this week, which is adjacent to the Boston Antheneum, what I came across was that the Puritan poets are religious, but not ordained, so we have to look at the concepts of the church of that period, including Predestination- I couldn't find Cotton Mather, or Increase Mather in her library, only alot written by Johnathan Edwards, which reminded me that the contemporary of the poet Anne Bradstreet was Anne Hutchinson, the preacher. So I went on our vacation with the study of poetry- not specifically just to walk by the ocean's wrackline and find the nude statue in the courtyard of Rockport Art Association, but the courses happened to be there in the middle of all that quietude. The first day of autumn this year we walked passed the Mount Auburn Cemetary, with all its history. He's not my favorite writer, but the book written by Nathaniel Bowdwitch on sailing was on sale in one of the jewelry shops on Bareskin Neck, Rockport, and he is among one of the people who are buried in Mount Auburn. By the way, while looking a the Puritan, I like having Hume in the other course; Berkeley's theory that "objects exist only in the perciever's mind", the radical skepticism that it is not possible to have knowledge at all, and my new theory to spin around with Perceptual Transparency: perception, agency and understanding are essentially and mutually interdependent, that is in part to say reality/experience/interpretation.

This will give the reader a sense of where I will be for the week.

Fried Clams at Motif #1, Rockport, Massachusetts

Artists of the Rockport Art Association:



'via Blog this' The Episcopal Church in Rockport had a nice idea. Donna is a church librarian in Boston, and I told her that whenever we walk by a church and it is open, she can go in to pray. Tonight we had fried clams on Bearskin Neck and left around sunset. This is the fourth year we've visited and the church has a sign that reads Meditation Garden. There is a pathway along side the church where there is a sculpture an artist made for his deceased daughter, depicting her as a female Galahad, in armor with a shield, but it continues around the back of the church to a small enclosed area with a small well with fish, actually goldfish the size of perch- I'm not sure what type of fish. There's a statue and a bench. On Sunday night, around sunset, Donna was free to quietly pray.I found the art of Harrisson Cady, who apparently painted Motif #1 in 1908.I found him while looking for the paintings of John M. Buckley.

I've completed my fourth MOOC this year:'England in the time of King Richard III'

Although I scored low on this week's quiz, I took the last test early and the 100% pulled the entire course grade up to 84%, meaning two weeks that scored 100% and another week at 93% as to whether I learned the material or comprehended enough of the class lectures. It was a British History course from The University of Liecester based on their finding the skeleton of Richard III, combining Medieval Studies with Archeological News- not a bad concept for a course description. It was my fourth completed MOOC, earlier this month I finished a British Literature course from the University of Sheffield similarly centered around the "speciality", which is the literature written in Derbyshire from Ben Johnson to Oscar Wilde, including the Mysteries of Udolpho, Great Expectations and Pride and Prejudice. The course on Warhol from The University of Edinburgh had nothing to do with Scotland, I'll admit, but it was enjoyable. So my completed massive open online courses are now: University of Copenhagen: Scandinavian Film and Television 87.9% University of Edinburgh: Warhol 85% University of Sheffield: British Literature the Country House 93% University of Leicester: Richard III (History/Archeology) 84% -------- I am waiting for more Future Learn and more Coursera .

I've completed my third MOOC this year- British Literature, University of Sheffield

This MOOC was from Future Learn, which is primarily British. I overlapped a course on British Country Houses from the University of Sheffield, and like some Coursera courses it features the benefit of several professors with one department head, a different speaker each week alternating with the course instructor- about five different professors during eight to ten weeks for both Future Learn and Coursera, which I like- for the two courses it brought five British professors and five Danish professors, for the three courses, add four or five guest speakers from the museums of Scotland: so I've looking specifically for classrooms all across Europe and to quickly gain experience from multiple lecturers. I completed 99% of the course and scored 93% on the final exam. Quizzes don't count but for the seven of them, the grade is about the same. It covered Ben Johnson, a scene from Hamlet, Jane Austen, Ocar Wilde, Anne Radcliffe and some lesser known literature from Derbyshire. I am still enrolled in a concurrent MOOC on Richard III from the University of Leicester, which centers a study of Medieval History around the archeological find of the Medieval King's body. The professor uses it as a neat pretense for a study of The War of The Roses, along with its burial grounds. But I began with Coursera, so after finishing the course on Scandinavian Film and Television with a peer assessment grade of 87.9% and the course on Warhol (Modern Pop Art) with a similar 85%, I'm currently taking Communication Science from the University of Amsterdam, which I passing so far in regard to tests but would want to pull it up the more familiar with it I become. So it would be as an English Major were I to be enrolled anywhere, but with this, I visit classrooms I would never think of seeing and find any ELECTIVE I think will (big bang my mind) add a new topic. It didn't need to be my favorite art course. So that's three completed MOOCs this year, two in progress- I'm more used to it and am thinking of picking up the pace. On my schedule for the rest of the year are courses from University of London, (Hebrew) University of Jerusalem, University of Warwick, University of Copenhagen, Lancaster University. I related to them the story that I had an eight millimeter projector and one Superbowl Film of the Minnesota Vikings vs. the Kansas City Chiefs. After four years of Midget (Pop Warner), we went to the New Orleans training camp while briefly spending a summer on the Southern part of the Atlantic Coast. It was empty, not one player. But, waiting by the truck, sheer coincidence, a backfield coach was taking a lap, and he slowed down. I asked Buck Buchanan, retired from the Kansas City Chiefs by 1975, if I should play football for Harvard or should I switch around and try to go to different colleges. Of course his advice was to stay with one. The was no internet at the time, but the player from Harvard I later saw was really just giving a lecture, and although I sat in the front, I don't remember George Plympton really saying anything valuable but that he knew someone that had "the temerity" during his carreer to do something odd by putting something or other, a paperclip or pencil or something in his mouth; I didn't really need the ancedote, and to be honest, his book is like reading Moby Dick. You can see where I'm leading.

Our building will be in a film, Donna walked through the on location set

I went to run an errand and there was a lighting crew with grips (their name was Black Flag working for Warner Brothers) and lights (the equipment read "Red Herring") in our parking lot ready for our building to appear in the distance on film. I brought Donna downstairs and asked if she wanted to go out and see the next street over where they were filming. We walked through where they were shooting and there was an antique vehicle in park, and one of the buildings was covered with graffiti for the film. Someone from the film directed her by saying "Keep on walking" and Donna asked, "Is Johnny Depp here?" The man just smiled. After the lighting crew left she asked to take another walk because it was a nice night. In front of a 68 Buick used in the film, she talked to security about tomorrow's afternoon filming and they told us about a Celtic Phonebox. We walked back through "the set" and found a wooden phone box the read "Telefon"; presumably the main street will be used for the United States and the side street will be a scene thought to take place in Europe. Mostly Donna liked having her picture taken in front of an Antique European car. Usually the most exciting thing is the wild rabbit that comes out from the train tracks and a hawk that flies through the parking lot to land on top of the building.
The movie is scheduled for next year, so untill then.......

Edie Minturn Sedgewick poses for Artist Scott Lord at Tate Gallery Poetry Reading

Today, Edie Minturn Sedgewick, currently operating Edie's Farm on wordpress, avoided reporters at Scotland's National Gallery, showing up later at the Tate Gallery, to give a poetry reading. At the reading various depictions of the themes of sex and death were included in an exhibition by artist Scott Lord of The Univeristy of Edinburgh. Miss Sedgewick and Mr. Lord were both at one time residences of Massachusetts, in the United States and were enthralled in what they had in common during discussions about Boston. Miss Sedgewick, who had wanted to pose for Playboy magazine, passed away from a barbituate overdose in the early seventies and was revived, through esoteric means of suspended animation, by Dr. Glyn Davis, also of the University of Edinburgh. It is rumored that Professor Davis and Mr. Lord met through his researching for film criticism after classes on Scandinavian Film at the University of Copenhagen, which also offers a massive online college course. The Dashing Dr. Glyn Davis was delightful during the evening providing insights into art history and expressed a sincere interest in also reviving the art critic Kenneth Clark, were his small laboratory were to find funding from a more global source, possibly underwritten by the United States, although it is rumored that he present he has gotten Kenneth Clark"s hand to move a little in a friendly wave and maybe some knowing eyelid movement, like a wink. With some of the Liverpool poets from the early sixties he has no luck, particularly several attempts to bring back to life Mercy poet Hugh MacDiarmid. Mr. Lord is presently pitching articles and will soon join the staff of Cinema Scandinavia.

Behind in my homework University of Edinburgh, behind on my film review Australian magazine

I passed Scandinavian Film and Television in an online course offered by the University of Copenhagen with 87.9% (the first essay was student graded and bought it down) and got a statement of completion. So I added an Art course from the University of Edinburgh because I knew it included Underground Cinema, which I'm in the middle of now. I also have a lecture series on classic narrative film from a University in the United States that has one final test at the end. But I was introduced to a Masters Student from Australia that just began the first issue of a magazine. I missed the deadline to the first issue- but I apparently "pitched the article" and sent the first half one day before deadline and got an extension. So there is no rejection whatsoever on the first two-three paragraphs, the submission is still active- in effect a silent film review will appear in late in an issue centralizing on Ingmar Begman. (maybe I would have had two). The Danish course was structured with weekly quizes and these two courses are not, so I let my ten-week routine ease-up, not alot, but enough to be in a hurry to study quick and more precise. If and when the article makes it, it could be included in academia.edu, so of course I haven't hurried. The assignment includes essay and artwork- see above, but you know what, I had an old paperback on Underground Cinema years ago, which I liked, and I found the entire book, available free for download on the internet wayback archive, and their copy specifically is an autographed copy the author addressed to the "internet archive"- well isn't that the spirit of the thing? Given to the archive by the author with a note in pen- I'm very glad to use it for a class the month I probably will be published. (My new kick is taking courses from foreign Universities on line) One of the professors, and in this milleau there were five professors over ten weeks, was already mentioned in my webpages before I signed up, so needless to say he's included in the portion of the article I've aleady submitted- the other in the meantime has vistied Princeton, travelling from Denmark and my editor in Australia and I are reading his lecture after the class has finsished.

Taking Film online from University of Copenhagen and then Art from University of Edinburgh (Tate)

I'm finsihed 8 out of 10 weeks in my course on Scandinavian Film and Television online from the University of Copenhagen. I've enrolled in Art from the University of Edinburgh for after that. (During the course I got an offer to write for a periodical on Scandinavian film if I meet deadline- Carl Dreyer is known for his journalism.)

Existentialism, Christianity and Evacuation Day

Sartre was slightly misinterpreted by our minister tonight during a reading of the book of Mark, understandably. But was it sneaky? First of he quoted, "existence precedes essence" and I coughed to signal it was from Being and Nothingness. Then he mentioned the author's name with the remark "Maybe that's why his novels bring only misery." And he used the title No Exit as though taken aback with a shudder. I'll agree that the Book of Mark uses the baptism of Jesus Christ as a narrative, which frames the discourse. Christ baptized is innocent. But then he went into a "counter-radical" theme that it was one King against another. I remembered that the Flies was based on Greek tragedy, so it's almost theology slighting Greco-Roman art. But to properly quote Sartre, "Life begins on the other side of despair." It's just that with the point of departure of "Man is God", what is ethical and aesthetic has a human source, not transcendent or supernal. But then I thought, why quote it if it is inevitable that someone will add that he didn't quote, "Hell is other people?", which really has nothing to do with Christ. Why relate it to the Book of Mark when really "to exist is to be perceived" would have been enough- Christ is perceived by God when baptized. And even that has implications of there being a soul, a God-connected soul. The kicker is its been thirty five years since I first was interested in a volume titled The Tragic Finale written by Wilfred Desan that outlined the For-Itself, In-itself relation. God would have been the in-itself and man the for-itself excepting that the epistemology of faith doesn't quite apply. I guess God's silence would account for the in-itself as a form of freedom. But life does begin the other side of despair. (Action is the responsibilty to create oneself authenticly- without "Bad Faith" or self-deception.) There is nothing in heaven; nothing in heaven that can; nothing in heaven that can prevent the individual from making himself and experiencing the freedom of becoming authentic. That is the despair. Despair For Itself. We are here to make love not referee wars and crucifixions, we are here to out conceptualize sin, to out think it, not to personify it. You know the "common folk" really would have said it wasn't really an Easter, but God was just watching someone die unnecesarily so he could turn around, resurrect and laugh at mankind for being tempted. "You stole my messiah and I could have sent him to heaven the whole time". In Sartre's ontology, it really isn't dependent upon man being governed by his sinful nature and the omnipotent creator being impotent. We record history best when God is impotent, when we can watch Empires fall. The other discussion was between my fiancee and I about my not realizing that St. Patrick (in perpetuity: et. al.) lived near to or before the time of Alfred the Great and that the Book of Kells is earlier than I thought. I was reading that he mostly spread the word in between Viking Invasions. I didn't mention to her that many of the Irish Princesses were mistaken for saints when the Vikings were around.

Postscript- The Following Week

Because she's the church librarian we were there this week as well. I passed the minister and thought keep things social untill necessary but do the reading, that is to say, read and don't find questions to ask untill they are needed. So after I said "Hello" the phrase "ground of being" came to me and then I remembered Paul Tillich. I went in and found a History of the Church and found a one page summarization of Paul Tillich and the "principle of correlation" which is based on faith. The someone mentioned that the author of the textbook I had in my hand is visiting the church from Oxford to attend a conference here in Boston this April.
Still arriving at a discussion of Paul Tillich by mentioning Sartre from behind the pulpit still seems a little surrepititious.

Donna's birthday: a wild rabbit greeted us getting out of the movie.

)



It was raining at eleven o'clock and as I hurried to get the taxi, a wild rabbit greeted us while we were getting out of the movie. I bought her roses earlier this month and brought them to her while she was at work in the church library- the following week she gave me an engagement ring at the church before she went in to work.

That was Von Trier week. Right now, after this entry, I have a lecture from my online course on Scandinavian Film and television- but while I'm hurrying, the poster for Nymphomania by Lars von Trier was in the movie theater; so I got enthusiastic. Director Lars von Trier is a former student of the lecturer I'm taking the course from at the University of Copenhagen, so while setting up the computer, the first thing I saw tonight was our online forum, which is like the classroom milleau (modality), and we're still discussing von Trier after Vinterberg's film was reviewed in the United States. But its Donna's birthday, so we had a pizza and went to a movie, which is how we began dating. I tried to explain or not explain Stellan Starsgaard's early carreer and the films he made in Sweden during the seventies- I'm particularly  fond of them and have tried to review them.

We have a rabbit in the backyard, courtyard rather, but this isn't the first place we saw one. First it was at a Victorian cemetary where Longfellow, Winslow Homer, and Amy Lowell are buried. Then we returned for a second visit and found another small rabit. Then we went to Longfellow's House, which is a museum, and there were rabbits there on two seperate visits. Our building has nineteen floors and a view of the Prudential and John Hancock in Boston- there was a brown hawk last year that lands on the top and this year a white hawk, I'm not certain what type of white hawk, a little larger than the brown. Huge eyes. Needless to say, the rabbit near the theater decided to show up while we were out. The one at our residence I have seen by now on a half dozen occaisions.

I have a lecture to finish tonight on Scandinavian Film and television- I've completed five weeks and have five more left . The coincidental intellectual disclaimer: I don't see the need to apologize for the outlandish coincident disclaimer- I was adopted in 1962 and my adoptive mother died young, mostly from (juvenille)diabetes. No blessing required from this government that may or may not be heterosexual or any other that can't find peace (or spirituality). The film is about the human condition, and in that regard it is a work of art. Deepen, broaden, not necessarily in that order.

Valentine's: Donna and I went to a movie- our rabbit.

Quickly-I have a writing assignment for class, but it's been over a month since I've written here. After Christmas, the rabbit, who is nocturnal, that I see while I'm smoking was there while Donna and I were together. After a sizeable snowstorm it appeared in the courtyard. I was there tonight at the other entrance, which is unusual. I bought Donna living roses this time as I have gotten used to the minature pointsettia that is still there. We hadn't been to a film in a while and she asked if we could get a pizza. If you seen the film, it would not have been Alan Watts that I would have wanted to spend eight hours with, but not bad. Since Christmas, she has gotten to where she is librarian in the church by herself now that she's been there a while- since then I have also begun studying Film online at a European University. (January was spent revising and saving webpages written last year.)
