More Sergius and Bacchus images are at the end of this post, including the work of British photographer Anthony Gayton and American iconographers Nancy Jackson and Robert Lentz. O’Neill is the author of Passionate Holiness: Marginalized Christian Devotions for Distinctive People. Dennis O’Neill, pastor, believes it is the first window dedicated to Sergius and Bacchus in any church in the United States. Martha’s Church in Morton Grove, Illinois, as a gift from its LGBT members. The new Sergius and Bacchus window (above) was dedicated in September at St. The couple was openly gay, but secretly Christian - the opposite of today’s closeted Christians. They were killed around 303 in present-day Syria. Sergius and Bacchus were Roman soldiers, Christian martyrs and gay men who loved each other. Bacchus - Gay saints Sergius and Bacchus honored in new art One of the newest images of 3rd-century gay saints Sergius and Bacchus is a stained glass window donated this year to an Illinois church by its LGBT parishioners. In doing so, I hope to insinuate some sense of how Marlow’s narrative is another text in a long tradition that reinforces these archetypes into the collective conscience of their readership. ’ Īlthough Conrad’s tale, originally published 1899, precedes Carl Jung’s psychoanalytic method by some two decades, I hope to reduce the literary archetypes to those of the mythic as Jung defines them. As such, Marlow does to the feminine what he does to the African, in Chinua Achebe’s words he ‘sets up as a foil to. Through a close reading of Marlow’s encounters with women and the suggestion that each instance can be interpreted as a literary archetype, one might conclude that women have been reduced to a prop-like state for the purposes of meaning. The present reading will hope to give a possible explanation as to why Marlow’s narrative espouses such a seemingly misogynistic position, and how this reading can redeem the text from reductive feminist criticism. Conrad’s Heart of Darkness reduces women to a tool for Marlow’s narrative purpose. Each has been taught that the works of the other's Guild are frauds. Alain is the youngest Mage ever to learn how to change the world he sees with the power of his mind. Mari is a brilliant young Mechanic, just out of the Guild Halls where she has spent most of her life learning how to run the steam locomotives and other devices of her Guild. Only one person has any chance of uniting enough of the world behind her to stop the Storm, but the Great Guilds and many others will stop at nothing to defeat her. But now a Storm approaches, one that could sweep away everything that humans have built. The Mechanics and the Mages have been bitter rivals, agreeing only on the need to keep the world they rule from changing. The first audiobook in a thrilling new epic fantasy saga, written exclusively for Audible by Jack Campbell, the New York Times bestselling author of The Lost Fleet seriesįor centuries, the two Great Guilds have controlled the world of Dematr. I like how Merritt values her employees’ health and safety over profit. I could not contain my giddiness when I discovered who Merritt’s parents are. Keir always put Merritt’s wellbeing above his own. He never wanted his actions or his association with her to hurt her. What I adore the most about Keir is his thoughtfulness towards Merritt’s reputation. It is something I rarely see romance heroes having, so it is a nice change. I like the fact that Keir has chest hair. Keir reminds me of a certain blonde-haired devil who will forever hold a spot in my heart. Many times, the man made me want to swoon. Can Merritt and Keir overcome their social standings? Or will the threats against his life keep them apart? When he is injured in an accident, Merritt offers to tend him. Merritt’s world is turned upside down when an angry Scotsman storms into her office. She, with the help of her brother, runs her late husband’s shipping company. Lady Merritt Sterling is the eldest child of an earl and his American countess. Can Keir accept the new revelations about his life? Will he find out who is trying to kill him? And why? While recuperating, with Lady Merritt’s help, he learns some unsettling truths about his birth. He soon finds himself plagued by several assassination attempts. Keir never expected to be so attracted to the shipping company’s widowed owner. He arrives in London to distribute and sell his wares. Keir MacRae is a Scottish whisky distiller. Jane Yolen has a fine record with this kind of book, and she has not let herself down. Towering classic “Metamorphosis” and the exquisite prose of Isak Dinesen, through Saki's happy, horrid whimsy and a poignant tale by the anthologist herself, to the somber cadences of Shulamith Oppenheim. The shape‐changing into wolf, dog, cat, fox, deer, squid, monster, machine and “anything” is well‐handled in a wide spectrum of styles and periods, from of Kafka's Van Vogt's ingenious “The Enchanted Village” - might it be said that the surprise has been seriously grounded, but the parameters of the story are so unusual that it can be forgiven. It is pleasant, therefore, to see how deftly Jane Yolen, with just this arrangement, has avoided this particular lobotomy. We squirted a small amount of washing up liquid in the centre of the triangle and watched what happened. Then we added three drops of blue and three drops of yellow so that the colours formed a triangle. First we filled a shallow bowl with milk then dropped three drops of liquid red food colouring slightly away from the centre of the bowl. This is an interesting way to mix the three primary colours. Mixing the primary colours using food colouring Add white to make them darker and black to make them lighter then see what colour you get when you mix black and white. Mix the other primary colours together then tilt, rub and shake to mix the colours up. Then rub the blue and yellow dots to make a new colour. The Story: Starting with a grey dot you tap the book until more colours appear. It’s a great book to read but also provides an introduction to the three primary colours, the secondary colours that result from mixing them and shows how you can make colours lighter or darker. We love Hervé Tullet’s ‘ Press Here‘ and ‘Mix It Up’ is a lot of fun too. Sophie Beckett may have parental difficulties, but so did Snow White, Rapunzel and Gretel. This line quoted above, on the other hand, well, what does it mean? Is this entry in the wildly popular series to take a different direction from the rather lighthearted look at the courses of true love? Of course not. The rest of the novels feature opening lines mostly of a romantic nature or, at least, that natural lead to romance. In fact, there is absolutely nothing else that comes even closer to this commencement of festivities. Within the lineage of all the books in the series about the Bridgerton family, this opening line remains the one that really smacks you hard across the face.

Quantum mechanics is a complex physics field requiring strong mathematical and physical understanding. She and many other girls were put on a freight train and sent to Longjing, China, to work at a comfort station, one of many brothels servicing Japanese soldiers throughout the Japanese-occupied territories. At just fifteen years old, Lee Ok-sun was kidnapped on her way back from running an errand for a tavern where she worked in exchange for room and board. Many were lured with the promise of work in restaurants and factories, while some were simply abducted. While acknowledging its many failings, the author uses the term, and it proves to be a clever way to make the horrors of sexual slavery easier to read.The Imperial Japanese Army forced an estimated 350,000 to 410,000 impoverished girls and women, mostly from Korea, China, and the Philippines, into sexual slavery. Painted in black ink, the story opens with a note on the controversial term “comfort women,” a Japanese euphemism that survivors say distorts victims’ experience. Gendry-Kim also appears as she coaxes Lee Ok-sun, now in her nineties, to talk about her life and tragic experiences. Grass is a graphic work of non-fiction about a former comfort woman, Lee Ok-sun, during World War II. As many fled violence in the north, not everyone was able to make it south. It’s not an uncommon storythe peninsula was split across the 38th parallel, dividing one country into two. Keum Suk Gendry-Kim, the award-winning author of Grass, is known for both her work about the marginalized and for her manhwa, a South Korean comic style. Keum Suk Gendry-Kim was an adult when her mother revealed a family secret: She had been separated from her sister during the Korean War. |
