Citesc Azi cnt jazz cu acea curiozitate uor nesigur cu care intri ntr-o locuin necunoscut. Din holul de la intrare m izbete ordinea. Fiecare cuvnt e la locul lui. Fiecare sentimenrt aezat pe raftul potrivit... Totul cu finee, cu rafinament, de un gust ireproabil. Culmea, mi place ordinea asta, mie, care am trecut o via ntreag prin meandrele suprarealismului, prin absurdul celor mai derutante concluzii, prin combinaii imposibile dintre un scaun i o cifr, dintre ziua de joi i un pepene verde. Gata! Debutul n poezie al Mihaelei Stanciu. Parcurg, aadar, cartea Azi cnt jazz. Un titlu incitant prin nostalgia acelui l’éternel retour, prin inciziile rafinate pe care bisturiul unui chirurg-poet le face pe propria lui agonie, pe tcere, pe tot ce vine nechemat...ca i cum ar fi ceva normal pe pmnt,/ iar tu s n-ai umbrel/ s-i plac s amesteci picturile/cu gndurile de peste noapte dintr-o conversaie neterminat. O fat singur cnt jazz fr s clameze nimic, fr s spun nimic, cauzele nu trebuie aflate. O fat cnt jazz, dar nu cnt o fat, tcerea e cea care cnt. Tcerea asta uneori e foarte neleapt. Dar nelepciunea e o mare ofens pentru un poet, vei spune. Uite c nu e aa. Nora Iuga

Walter Pater
¥8.09
According to Wikipedia: "Walter Horatio Pater (4 August 1839 - 30 July 1894) was an English essayist and critic of art and literary critic....his study of "Aesthetic Poetry" appeared in the Fortnightly Review, to be succeeded by essays on Leonardo da Vinci, Sandro Botticelli, Pico della Mirandola and Michelangelo. These, with other similar studies, were collected in his Studies in the History of the Renaissance in 1873. Pater, now at the centre of a small but interesting circle in Oxford, gained respect in London and elsewhere, numbering the Pre-Raphaelites among his friends.... by the time his philosophical novel Marius the Epicurean appeared, he had gathered quite a following. This, his chief contribution to literature, was published early in 1885. In it Pater displays, with fullness and elaboration, his ideal of the aesthetic life, his cult of beauty as opposed to bare asceticism, and his theory of the stimulating effect of the pursuit of beauty as an ideal of its own. The principles of what would be known as the Aesthetic movement were partly traceable to Pater and his effect was particularly felt on one of the movement's leading proponents, Oscar Wilde, a former student of Pater at Oxford. In 1887 he published Imaginary Portraits, a series of essays in philosophic fiction; Appreciations, with an Essay on Style was published in 1889 with a revised second edition in 1890; in 1893, Plato and Platonism; and in 1894, The Child in the House. His Greek Studies and his Miscellaneous Studies were collected posthumously in 1895; his romance Gaston de Latour appeared posthumously in 1896; and his essays from The Guardian were privately printed in 1897."

William Godwin

According to Wikipedia: "William Godwin (3 March 1756 – 7 April 1836) was an English journalist, political philosopher and novelist. He is considered one of the first exponents of utilitarianism, and one of the first modern proponents of anarchism. Godwin is most famous for two books that he published within the space of a year: An Enquiry Concerning Political Justice, an attack on political institutions, and Things as They Are or The Adventures of Caleb Williams, which attacks aristocratic privilege, but also is virtually the first mystery novel. Based on the success of both, Godwin featured prominently in the radical circles of London in the 1790s. In the ensuing conservative reaction to British radicalism, Godwin was attacked, in part because of his marriage to the pioneering feminist writer Mary Wollstonecraft in 1797 and his candid biography of her after her death; their child, Mary Godwin (later Mary Shelley) would go on to author Frankenstein and marry the poet Percy Bysshe Shelley. Godwin wrote prolifically in the genres of novels, history and demography throughout his lifetime."

Biography of one New England author by another.? According to Wikipedia: "Nathaniel Hawthorne (July 4, 1804 – May 19, 1864) was an American novelist, dark romantic, and short story writer. He was born in 1804 in Salem, Massachusetts to Nathaniel Hathorne and the former Elizabeth Clarke Manning. His ancestors include John Hathorne, the only judge involved in the Salem witch trials who never repented of his actions. He entered Bowdoin College in 1821, was elected to Phi Beta Kappa in 1824,[1] and graduated in 1825. He published his first work in 1828, the novel Fanshawe; he later tried to suppress it, feeling that it was not equal to the standard of his later work.[2] He published several short stories in periodicals, which he collected in 1837 as Twice-Told Tales. The next year, he became engaged to Sophia Peabody. He worked at the Boston Custom House and joined Brook Farm, a transcendentalist community, before marrying Peabody in 1842. The couple moved to The Old Manse in Concord, Massachusetts, later moving to Salem, the Berkshires, then to The Wayside in Concord. The Scarlet Letter was published in 1850, followed by a succession of other novels. A political appointment as consul took Hawthorne and family to Europe before their return to Concord in 1860. Hawthorne died on May 19, 1864, and was survived by his wife and their three children."
