Yvain
Author: Chretien de Troyes
Publisher: Yale University Press
ISBN: 0300187580
Category : Poetry
Languages : en
Pages : 242
Book Description
The twelfth-century French poet Chrétien de Troyes is a major figure in European literature. His courtly romances fathered the Arthurian tradition and influenced countless other poets in England as well as on the continent. Yet because of the difficulty of capturing his swift-moving style in translation, English-speaking audiences are largely unfamiliar with the pleasures of reading his poems. Now, for the first time, an experienced translator of medieval verse who is himself a poet provides a translation of Chrétien’s major poem, Yvain, in verse that fully and satisfyingly captures the movement, the sense, and the spirit of the Old French original. Yvain is a courtly romance with a moral tenor; it is ironic and sometimes bawdy; the poetry is crisp and vivid. In addition, the psychological and the socio-historical perceptions of the poem are of profound literary and historical importance, for it evokes the emotions and the values of a flourishing, vibrant medieval past.

Sermons and Moral Discourses
Author: William Gahan
Publisher: Forgotten Books
ISBN: 9780483557161
Category : Religion
Languages : en
Pages : 564
Book Description
Excerpt from Sermons and Moral Discourses: For All the Sundays and Principal Festivals of the Year, on the Most Important Truths and Maxims of the Gospel Then they shall see the Son of Man coming in a cloud, with great Power and Majesty - Luke, c. Xxi. V. 27. This being the first Sunday of Advent, the Church, in order to inspire her children with that penitential Spirit which is suitable to this holy time, displays one of the most terrifying truths of the Christian Religion, and proposes on this day to our serious consideration the tre mendons mystery of the last and general judgment, which is to decide whether we are to be the happiest or most unhappy creatures that God can make us; whether heaven, with all its infinite joys, or hell, with all its inconceivable torments, is to be our everlasting inheritance whether we are for ever to Sing joyful Alleluias with the blessed choirs of angels and saints above, or to burn eternally in flames of fire, with legions of merciless devils below. The condemnation of the rich glutton who was buried in hell at the time of his death, as the Gospel informs us, and the happy end of poor Lazarus, who was immediately translated into Abraham's bosom when he departed this life, plainly shew that the soul undergoes a particular judgment, the very instant that death separates it from the body. But besides this particular judgment, there is a'day of general judgment, appointed by God, for all mankind to appear together before the awful tribunal Of Jesus Christ.
