""A Dream of Love"" is a play written by William Carlos Williams, consisting of three acts and eight scenes. The story revolves around a young couple, Jack and Edith, who are deeply in love but face numerous challenges in their relationship. Jack is an aspiring writer who struggles to make ends meet, while Edith comes from a wealthy family and is torn between her love for Jack and her family's expectations. As the play progresses, the couple's relationship is put to the test as they navigate through various obstacles such as financial struggles, infidelity, and societal pressures. The play also touches upon themes of class struggle, the pursuit of artistic passion, and the complexities of human relationships.Throughout the play, Williams employs poetic language and vivid imagery to convey the emotional depth of the characters and their struggles. The play ultimately culminates in a dramatic conclusion that leaves the audience questioning the true nature of love and the sacrifices one must make to pursue it.Overall, ""A Dream of Love"" is a poignant and thought-provoking play that explores the complexities of love and the human experience.Direction, No. 6.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.

“Treasury” is defined as a “book or person thought of as a valued source.” Here we have both the book and the person, and valued” is what they truly are. We’ll leave to the eminent poet, scholar, wit, and man of letters, Louis Untermeyer, to explain his interest in ribaldry, the subject of this delightful anthology. “In the broadest sense, the world’s favorite humor has been a playful expression of primitive sensuality. It has, at times, been tinctured with self-mockery, a sort of protective derision, a comic exposure of what is condemned in public and gleefully practiced in private. The satisfactions of the body, from food to sex, are responsible for some of the wisest and wittiest as well as some of the most rollicking and ribald writing in literature…” Here are about 300 separate ribald items, prose and poetry, arranged chronologically by the author (from Arnacreon-500 B.C. to late Twentieth century). Here are the “naturals” in ribaldry, taken from the works of Boccaccio, Chaucer, Villon, Rabelais, Balzac-and some surprises, by such talented folk as Cervantes, Defoe, Burns, Franklin, Byron, Maugham, Anderson, Mencken, Runyon, and a host of others.

One of the five Confucian classics, The Book of Songs (Shijing) is the oldest collection of poetry in world literature and the finest treasure of traditional songs left from antiquity. Where the other Confucian classics treat outward things: deeds, moral precepts, the way the world works,” as Stephen Owen tells us in his foreword, The Book of Songs is the classic of the human heart and the human mind.”

"These wonderful poems open a world of sensation and memory. But it is a world revealed by language, never just controlled. The voice that guides the action here is openhearted and open-minded--a lyric presence that never deserts the subject or the reader. Syntax, craft and cadence add to the gathering music from poem to poem with--to use a beautiful phrase from the book, 'each note tethering sound to meaning.'"--Eavan Boland Haunting, alarming, transformative, and elusive, these poems bridge together the gaps between development stages: from girl, to woman, and then mother. With the complexities that intertwine them, can you be all three at once? Who shapes our identity, and who is in control here? How do we recognize, acknowledge, and honor the changing of who we are? Little Soul Little soul--kind, wandering-- body's host and guest, look how you've lowered yourself, moving in a world of ice, washed of colour. My girl, what compelled you once is no more.

"To all those who have for several years sought to discredit the new American literature, Lawrence Ferlinghetti has just dealt a most powerful blow," wrote French critic Pierre Lepape in 1961 when Her was published in France as La Quatrième Personne du Singulier. Calling it "a masterpiece of the young American novel," Lepape declared it was "the confirmation of a great American writer who, in the hall of American literary glories, takes the place left vacant by the death of Hemingway." Lepape went on to speak of the "incredible verbal virtuosity" by which the reader is led through this "laby-rêve," and it is this image of the "labyrinth-dream" which relates Her to the anti-novels of the young French school of Robbe-Grillet and Butor. Being thus very far from the kind of novels produced by Ferlinghetti's immediate contemporaries (whether Beat or academic) this book has met with little but bafflement among American critics. With well over 50,000 now in print Her nevertheless continues to make its own way.
