One of the finest German medieval epic poems, The Lay of the Nibelungs is perhaps best known now as one of the principal sources for Wagner’s four-part music drama The Ring of the Nibelung. It is easy to see how Wagner was enthralled by the story and the poetry for the power of the tale drives...

Jacques Prévert se laissa convaincre d'enregistrer lui-même quelques-uns de ses textes. Il le fit "naturellement", sans ôter sa cigarette, ce qui explique une diction assez particulière. Un guitariste est là pour qu'il se sente moins seul dans le studio. Le jeu a dû leur plaire car ils recommencèrent plusieurs fois. Dits par l'auteur, ces poèmes ont la nudité de l'enfance, le goût du fruit défendu, les parfums des fleurs sauvages, la vivacité des mauvaises herbes chères à Brassens, et la couleur sanguine des pommes d'amour à la fête foraine. Bon appétit !

The Marriage of Heaven and Hell by the English poet William Blake consists of a series of texts written in the style of biblical prophecy but expressing Blake's own beliefs. Composed between 1790 and 1793, the book makes reference to Milton and Swedenborg, and adopts a device from Dante's Divine Comedy and Milton's Paradise Lost: a visit to hell. Blake expresses a deliberately depolarized and unified vision of the cosmos in which the material world and physical desire are both part of the divine order.

Die Montagsgedicht gehen auf die Jahre 1928 bis 1930 zurück, in denen der junge Kästner wöchentlich ein Gedicht in der Berliner Zeitung "Montag Morgen" veröffentlichte. Als bissige Anmerkungen zum Zeitgeschehen liefern diese Gedichte ein schillerndes Panorama des Alltags in der Weimarer Republik und dem Belin der 20er Jahre. Dabei rückt die große Politik genauso in den Blik wie die Jagd nach einem als Nachtgespenst verkleideten Einbrecher, der traditionelle Berliner Sechstagerenne, die damals aktuelle Sommermode oder ganz einfach das Wetter.

Ryokan (1758–1831) is, along with Dogen and Hakuin, one of the three giants of Zen in Japan. But unlike his two renowned colleagues, Ryokan was a societal dropout, living mostly as a hermit and a beggar. He was never head of a monastery or temple. He liked playing with children. He had no dharma heir. Even so, people recognized the depth of his realization, and he was sought out by people of all walks of life for the teaching to be experienced in just being around him.

Mit Hacks durchstreift Gunter Schoß "Märkische Wiesen" und ein "Märkisches Museum", bemächtigt sich der "Kunstformen der Geschichte" und liest schließlich den Freunden der Außenpolitik die Leviten mithilfe von "Zwei Denkwürdigkeiten aus preußischen Feldzügen". So gehen poetische Sichten in Natur und Historie zusammen. Faltenreich bietet sich dem Auge die Erdfläche, und faltenreich erscheint die menschliche Geschichte dem Bewusstsein. Nicht immer ist der Faltenwurf schön, doch schön wird er in seiner Darstellung durch den Dichter.

Though it is for the sparkling epic, Aeneid, that the Roman poet Virgil is best known, it was these two poems, The Eclogues and Georgics, which first established his reputation. Cast in the tradition of pastoral poetry, The Eclogues were written between 41 BCE and 37 BCE when Virgil (Publius...

With a keen sense of timing and verse, the translator is able to capture the lyrical, at times playful, quality as well as Hafiz's profound messages that possess elements of modern surrealism.

In der Lyrik der Annette von Droste-Hülshoff kommt ein hoch sensibler Mensch zu Wort, der illusionslos die Welt um sich herum betrachtet.

The story of the adventures of the mythical hero Gilgamesh is the most considerable literary production that has come down to us from ancient Babylonia. Unfortunately, it was not preserved in complete form. This recording is of the fullest translation which had yet been issued in English when it was first published in 1917.

Yogananda said Whispers from Eternity was one his favorite pieces of writing. He urged his followers to read and listen to it when he was gone from this world in order to reconnect with him in the dream world. In it he urges his students to demand when praying and live the prayer as if already realized. So in some ways Whispers From Eternity are his lessons in prayer as he share his own sacred prayers.
