Hello there, This blogger has received and enquiry about undertaking further study in Literature. There is a wealth of information, advice, and many sounding boards at your beck and call at school, as you know. In yesterday's Age Education section there is also an article titled "Doing it By the Book", briefly discussing a BA with a Literature major.
Perfect timing!
Link is here www.theage.com.au/national/education/doing-it-by-the-book.
If it doesn't work, head to Theage.com.au/education, and there is a link on the right hand side of the page.

This blog is for things literary only, please don't use it as a communication board for other subjects - that is unfair on the users of the blog. We all have one thing in common, and that is our 11 Literature. Please use all your other forms of communication if you want to move the focus away from Literature, thanks, JC.

Hey guys,
ReplyDeleteJust having a little looksey on the internet for poems - as per usual - and have found many blog sites dedicated to poetry. some are really good - even the blogger writes her own up, or some in respnse. All very lovely.
here's one I just found, and thought it spoke well of the world and the people in it.
In a chair I sit
And forget the life
That so oppresses me.
The only pain I feel
Is the pain
Of having felt it sometime.
To be free is
To withdraw from the world.
You seek no one,
No money, no glory
No love, no society, no curiosity.
They flourish not
In silence and solitude.
Unable to live alone
Is like being a slave.
Even if superior in soul,
You still are a serf--
A noble slave.
Woe betide you,
Weight of life makes you a slave.
Woe betide you,
Born free, yet you seek
Others’ company for need.
That tragedy is yours alone,
You alone must bear it.
~ Fernando Pessoa

ReplyDeletehere's the program discription:
"Thursday 5th August at 8.30 pm (60 minutes)
Channel: SBS
(Part 6 of 7) Restaurant Critic Giles Coren and writer and performer Sue Perkins spend a week on a diet spanning the Regency Years of 1789 - 1821. With the wonderful Rosemary Shrager cooking for them at their country manor house, they enjoy the full trappings of the landed gentry. Dressing as a Jane Austen heroine, Sue is on a mission to find a husband, while Giles indulges in being a dandy. During their week they try a meal fit for a prince with boars head and salmon poached in champagne. Giles tries the roast beef of England and together they discover the origins of the sandwich while gambling away their inheritance at the gaming tables.
