"Having just finished the chapter on Marxism, this book gives me the impression that it's a little bit too wordy for an introductory guide..personally I had a very hard time decoding the section on Jameson's theories.." Apr 25, 2018 03:32AM

William Wordsworth
“Be mild, and cleave to gentle things,
thy glory and thy happiness be there.”
William Wordsworth

William Wordsworth
“There is a comfort in the strength of love;
'Twill make a thing endurable, which else
Would overset the brain, or break the heart.

-Michael: A Pastoral Poem
William Wordsworth, William Wordsworth: Poems Selected by Seamus Heaney

Tom Stoppard
“We shed as we pick up, like travellers who must carry everything in their arms, and what we let fall will be picked up by those behind. The procession is very long and life is very short. We die on the march. But there is nothing outside the march so nothing can be lost to it. The missing plays of Sophocles will turn up piece by piece, or be written again in another language. Ancient cures for diseases will reveal themselves once more. Mathematical discoveries glimpsed and lost to view will have their time again. You do not suppose, my lady, that if all of Archimedes had been hiding in the great library of Alexandria, we would be at a loss for a corkscrew?”
Tom Stoppard, Arcadia

William Wordsworth
“Poetry is the first and last of all knowledge - it is as immortal as the heart of man.”
William Wordsworth

احمد شاملو
“اشک رازي ست
لبخند رازي ست
عشق رازي ست
اشک آن شب لبخند عشقم بود.
قصه نيستم که بگويي
نغمه نيستم که بخواني
صدا نيستم که بشنوي
يا چيزي چنان که ببيني
يا چيزي چنان که بداني...
من درد مشترکم
مرا فرياد کن.
درخت با جنگل سخن مي گويد
علف با صحرا
ستاره با کهکشان
و من با تو سخن مي گويم
نامت را به من بگو
دستت را به من بده
حرفت را به من بگو
قلبت را به من بده
من ريشه هاي تُرا در يافته ام
با لبانت براي همه لب ها سخن گفته ام
و دست هايت با دستان من آشناست.
در خلوت روشن با تو گريسته ام
براي خاطر زندگان؛
و در گورستان تاريک با تو خوانده ام
زيباترين سرود ها را
و تُرا که مردگان اين سال
عاشق ترين زندگان بوده اند.
دستت را به من بده
دست هاي تو با من آشناست
اي دير يافته با تو سخن مي گويم
بسان ابر که با طوفان
بسان علف که با صحرا
بسان باران که با بهار
بسان درخت که با جنگل سخن مي گويد
زيرا که من
ريشه هاي تُرا دريافته ام
زيرا که صداي من
با صداي تو آشناست”
