Book Description
Solitude, a silent stream flowing from the spring of birth to the ocean of death, carves its path through the landscape of life. It is a presence in itself, a fullness that accompanies each individual from the beginning to the end, a silent partner in the dance of life. In the cradle of infancy, solitude is a soft whisper, a lullaby for the dreaming mind, where the touch of others is a distant shore. As the individual grows, solitude becomes a playground of imagination, where castles are built from silence and stories spun from stillness. Through the tumultuous years of youth, solitude is a refuge, a place to retreat from the cacophony of growing pains and the clamor of finding one’s place in the crowd. It is in these quiet moments that the self takes shape, molded by reflection and introspection. In the fullness of adulthood, solitude is a rare gem, often buried beneath the debris of daily life. Yet, it is sought after, a momentary pause in the relentless march of responsibilities, a breath of space where the self can expand and contract in its own rhythm. As the twilight of life approaches, solitude returns like an old friend, its presence more profound and comforting. It is a time of reckoning, of looking back on the paths taken and not taken, and of finding peace in the life that was lived. And at the end, when the curtain falls, solitude is there, a faithful witness to the final act. It is both the last goodbye and the first greeting, as the individual steps through the threshold from one mystery into another. Solitude is not merely the absence of others;

From the Abyss of Loneliness to the Bliss of Solitude
Author: Michael B Buchholz
Publisher: Phoenix Publishing House
ISBN: 1800131119
Category : Psychology
Languages : en
Pages : 378
Book Description
Social isolation and loneliness are increasingly being recognised as a priority public health problem and policy issue worldwide, with the effect on mortality comparable to risk-factors such as smoking, obesity, and physical inactivity. From the Abyss of Loneliness to the Bliss of Solitude sheds much-needed light on a multifaceted global phenomenon of loneliness, and investigates it, together with its counterpart solitude, from an exciting breadth of perspectives: detailed studies of psychoanalytic approaches to loneliness, developmental psychology, philosophy, culture, arts, music, literature, and neuroscience. The subjects covered also range widely, including the history and origins of loneliness, its effects on children, the creative process, health, lone wolf terrorism, and shame. This is a timely and important contribution to a growing problem - greatly exacerbated by the Covid-19 pandemic - that has serious effects on both life quality and expectancy. The book features contributions from a diverse host of leading international experts: Dominic Angeloch, Patrizia Arfelli, Charles Ashbach, Manfred E. Beutel, Elmar Brahler, Jagna Brudzinska, Michael B. Buchholz, Lesley Caldwell, Karin Dannecker, Aleksandar Dimitrejevic, Mareike Ernst, Jay Frankel, Gail A. Hornstein, Colum Kenny, Eva M. Klein, Helga de la Motte-Haber, Gamze Ozcurumez Bilgili, Inge Seiffge-Krenke, and Peter Shabad. The contributors address the developmental and communicative causes of loneliness, its neurophysiological correlates and artistic representations, and how loneliness differs to solitude, which some consider necessary for creativity. They also provide insights into how we can help those suffering from loneliness, as classical psychoanalytic papers are revisited, contemporary therapeutic perspectives presented, and detailed case presentations offered. From the Abyss of Loneliness to the Bliss of Solitude is essential reading for mental health professionals and those searching for a better understanding of what it means to be lonely and how the lonely can better voice their loneliness and step out of it.

From the Ruins of Enlightenment
Author: Richard Kramer
Publisher: University of Chicago Press
ISBN: 0226821641
Category : Music
Languages : en
Pages : 266
Book Description
Richard Kramer follows the work of Beethoven and Schubert from 1815 through to the final months of their lives, when each were increasingly absorbed in iconic projects that would soon enough inspire notions of “late style.” Here is Vienna, hosting a congress in 1815 that would redraw national boundaries and reconfigure the European community for a full century. A snapshot captures two of its citizens, each seemingly oblivious to this momentous political environment: Franz Schubert, not yet twenty years old and in the midst of his most prolific year—some 140 songs, four operas, and much else; and Ludwig van Beethoven, struggling through a midlife crisis that would yield the song cycle An die ferne Geliebte, two strikingly original cello sonatas, and the two formidable sonatas for the “Hammerklavier,” opp. 101 and 106. In Richard Kramer’s compelling reading, each seemed to be composing “against”—Beethoven, against the Enlightenment; Schubert, against the looming presence of the older composer even as his own musical imagination took full flight. From the Ruins of Enlightenment begins in 1815, with the discovery of two unique projects: Schubert’s settings of the poems of Ludwig Hölty in a fragmentary cycle and Beethoven’s engagement with a half dozen poems by Johann Gottfried Herder. From there, Kramer unearths previously undetected resonances and associations, illuminating the two composers in their “lonely and singular journeys” through the “rich solitude of their music.”

The Art, Literature and Music of Solitude
Author: Julian Stern
Publisher: Bloomsbury Publishing
ISBN: 1350348031
Category : Social Science
Languages : en
Pages : 281
Book Description
This book presents a thematic analysis of various aspects of solitude, silence and loneliness, from the ancient world to the present day, explored thematically with consideration to the links between aloneness to other social and political issues. The themes include exile (expulsion from a community), ecstasy (getting 'out of oneself') and enstasy (being comfortable within oneself), to the Romantic idea of the artist as solitary. There is work on aloneness in and through nature, especially the importance of natural settings for positive experiences of solitude. A central theme is alienation and its emotions, with the idea of loneliness and the rejected self being a more modern experience. The book explores modernism and postmodernism as presenting new forms of solitude in the twentieth century, and how, more recently, there have been attempts to 'recover' the self, through therapeutic uses of the arts. All of these types and experiences of aloneness are described through the lenses of artistic, literary and musical forms of expression, as aloneness is not only explored and articulated through these art forms, but is in many ways created through these art forms.

Gardens of Solitude: Poetic Wanderings in the Inner Wilderness
Author: William Gomes
Publisher: William Gomes
ISBN:
Category : Language Arts & Disciplines
Languages : en
Pages : 198
Book Description
In the tranquil moments where the world's clamor diminishes to a murmur, we discover the gateway to our inner wilderness—a realm as expansive and diverse as any landscape under the skies. William Gomes’ "Gardens of Solitude" beckons you to embark on a journey not outward into the world, but inward, to navigate the profound terrains of soul and spirit. This poignant collection of poetry is a celebration of solitude, a cherished space for introspection, growth, and deep connection. Each poem carves a path through the inner wilderness, exploring the unspoken dialogues within us, the quiet heart-whispers that often remain unheard, and the internal symphonies that resonate in moments of stillness. As you wander through these metaphorical gardens, you will encounter vivid echoes of love and loss, the subtle burgeoning of hope, the tranquil landscapes of contemplation, and the radiant blossoms of inspiration. These poems, companions on the solitary journey towards understanding and acceptance, capture a spectrum of emotions and epiphanies that solitude alone can foster. Whether enjoyed in the tactile pages of a paperback or the intimate delivery of an audiobook, "Gardens of Solitude" offers a resonant experience, providing solace, reflection, and a deeper appreciation for the quiet moments that enrich our lives. In these moments of stillness, we often encounter the most profound truths of our existence, whispered not from without, but from within the very gardens of our souls. Welcome to "Gardens of Solitude", where each poem invites you deeper into the wilderness of self, a place shrouded in beauty and mystery, ripe for exploration. Here, in the solitude of our inner gardens, clarity and peace await, obscured by the noise of the everyday world. Let this collection be your guide and companion on your journey inward. With every word, William Gomes invites you to wander, to wonder, and to witness the beauty that lies in the quiet, the solitude, and in the spaces between. This collection is not just a reading experience—it is an invitation to a journey of self-discovery and contemplation.

Musings Of One Thousand And One Nights Of Solitude

Category : Poetry

Book Description
"Bardas Benetbunk has lived in the two socio - political systems that polarized much of the world for the better part of the recently defunct century. In this collection of maxims, aphorisms, and just plain thoughts and unanswered questions - for nobody has all the answers - with a sprinkling of poetry (with rhyme and rhythm for a change), he has attempted to lend coherence - as only in writing do the inchoate broodings of the meditative soul achieve coherence - to the thoughts that visited his mind and the reflections they occasioned, over a great number of years. Readers will find much that strikes a responsive chord and much with which their spirit does not share a common ground; they will linger over some and remain unmoved by others; and become aware, perhaps, that thoughts should not just be thought, but thought about. "... to sit alone Musing - a deadly happiness!" Euripides - "Hyppolytus"
