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.

Poetry in America: The Poetry of Early New England


Poetry in America: The Poetry of Early New England opens next week!

Just a reminder before we start that there are many ways of participating in this module. Some of you will choose to take a very active and connected approach, seeking a certificate, frequently participating in discussion forums, and using the interactive annotation tool to understand the poems. Others may want to read the poems and watch the videos, but otherwise to work through this module quite independently. We welcome all levels of participation. Treat this module as a free and open resource to use as you see fit!

In addition to the many free, not-for-credit options, we are now offering the option to take this module for Harvard credit through the Harvard Extension School. Registration for that option is open through September 9: learn more and sign up here if you're interested, and send any questions to instructor John Radway at jnradway@fas.harvard.edu.

I look forward to seeing you as we begin our study of the Poetry of Early New England.

Warmly,
Professor New and The Poetry Team

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 .
