Volume of Poetry not seen in 150 years

There is a publisher claiming that this volume of poetry has not been published in 150 years.





Drum Taps





I found the original, antiquarian copy from the University of California. The only way to find out is to find a new copy of this years reprint.



By the way, I finished the online week covering Anne Bradstreet for Stanford and my fellow students gave me the passing grade. Why that's important is that we covered her online in the class from Harvard and I already have the two passing certificates for 1640-1850.

Praesidenten (Carl Theodor Dreyer, 1919)


Although "The President" (Praesidenten, 1919), written and directed by Carl Th. Dreyer, photographed by Hans Vaage, and having starred Elith Pio and Olga Raphael-Linden, is not always distinguished as remarkable, it is one of the only two films that Carl Th. Dreyer made in Denmark, his later establishing a small body of work that would be indelible upon filmmaking, hi films, disparate stylistically, each differeing in their use of technique. Dreyer has been quoted as having remarked upon his having tried to find a style that would have value for only a single film. Casper Tybjerg, University of Copenhagen, highlights the use of "intricate flashback narrative structure" in Dreyer's directorial debut.
In his article "Forms of the Intangible: Carl Dreyer and the concept of Transcendental Style", Scholar Casper Tybjerg looks at Paul Schraeder's concept of there being an "aesthetic dimension of religious films" and accordingly a transcendental style to express spiritual experience by "stylizing" reality.
In his volume The Cinema of Carl Dreyer, author Tom Milne writes about the " comparatively sophisticated montage technique" used in the film, "Dreyer was obviously bent on manufacturing his emotions and built up an elaborate flshback technique borrowed from Griffith...All these time switches and parallels are obviously designed to strike resonant sparks off each other, but instead through their own comtrivance, serve merely to point up the grotesque contrivance of the whole story."

Swedish Silent Film: Monastery of Sendomir (Klostret I Sendomir, Victor Sjostrom,1920)

by noreply@blogger.com (Scott Lord on Silent Film, Scott Lord on Mystery Film)
scottlordpoet shared this story from Scott Lord on Silent Film Hollywood, Lost Silent Film, Swedish Silent Film, Danish Silent Film.

Bo Florin, Stockholm University, in his volume Transition and Transformation, Victor Sjostrom in Hollywood 1923-1930, points to Victor Sjostrom's use of dissolves in the film "Monastery of Sedomir" as "transformatory devices", to thematiclly link two images. "The dissolve works, in other words, as an independent device, which does not in this context recieve any clarifying support from any other narrative patterns." The character, and the setting in which he placed, change as motif with the dissolve.
"The Monastery of Sendomir" (Klostret i Sendomir) was written and directed for Svenska Biografteatern by Victor Sjostrom during 1920. Photographed by Henrik Jaenzon the film starred actresses Tora Teje, Renee Bjorling and Jenny Tschernichin-Larsson. The screenplay was adapted from a short story by Franz Grillparzer that, despite whatever reason Sjostrom had for choosing the material, had been filmed a year earlier, in Germany, by director Rudolph Meinert, starring actress Ellen Richter.

Rainbow from our apartment

Scott Lord Wednesday we took a boat ride down The Charles River from the Charles River Yacht Club to the Weld Boat House and back and had lunch there at the Charles River Yact Club. We go once a year passed the Citgo sign and Polaroid building and during other years there was a "master of ceremonies" who told the joke: How do you make a honeymoon salad? Lettuce Alone, No Dressing. I added : Cant elope tonight, Rain Dear, a pea souper. We in fact had beautiful weather.
