a slip of the pen: February 2008
http://lapsus--calami.blogspot.com/2008_02_01_archive.html
A slip of the pen. Monday, February 25, 2008. Tears of the Stars. Tears of the Stars. A reflection on beauty found in the heavens. These diamonds glistening clear above thee. Shatter below and burst in tears of light. Guiding beam this humble traveler sees;. Take flight again dear heart of mine, take flight. This mist departs and leaves a blinding hole. A glimmer and a gleam of soaring love. Rising again it lifts thy singing soul. We travel below, it travels above. I officially do not love to write.

a slip of the pen: back to the books
http://lapsus--calami.blogspot.com/2008/08/back-to-books.html
A slip of the pen. Friday, August 29, 2008. Back to the books. Over the summer I read Dostoevsky's. A novel following a man's journey through his conscience. The piece is set in Russia and presents both social and political ideas in its debate over power and ultimately, survival of the fittest. While Roskolnikov makes himself believe that he is fighting to be a strong man capable of rising above the moral standard for mere humans, he fights against the ultimate punisher - the human conscience. Squared...

a slip of the pen: April 2008
http://lapsus--calami.blogspot.com/2008_04_01_archive.html
A slip of the pen. Sunday, April 6, 2008. The simplistic perfection that Jonson describes in. Reminds me of Utopia in a way. Instead of praising worldly appealing aspects such as a "roof of gold" or or "polished pillars" the speakers describes a more natural beauty-. Thou joy'st in better marks, of soil, of air,. Of wood, of water; therin thou art fair. Thou hast thy walks for health, as well as sport;" (7-10). Posted by Abby Elisabeth. Subscribe to: Posts (Atom). View my complete profile.

a slip of the pen: A Meal of Poetry
http://lapsus--calami.blogspot.com/2008/03/meal-of-poetry.html
A slip of the pen. Monday, March 31, 2008. A Meal of Poetry. Ben Jonson's poem "Inviting a Friend to Supper" defies conventional poetry expectations. On my initial read-through I was bored by what seemed like a lack of imagination and beautiful poetic language. Describing a supper. Inspiring? Uninspiring. At least, until I read an idea of a university professor who calls himself the gardener. The speaker in the poem conveys to the reader that it desires his or her company and continues by saying-. A poem...

a slip of the pen: May 2008
http://lapsus--calami.blogspot.com/2008_05_01_archive.html
A slip of the pen. Thursday, May 8, 2008. Well, it's here. Summer. While I would perhaps enjoy it better if I did not actually work at the university and therefore actually felt like I had a break from being at school each and every day, it is still summer. Unfortunately, I am only two days in and am already bored. No homework. Nothing to read. Nothing to study. What's a student to do? I am currently in the middle of Crime and Punishment by Fyodor Dostoevsky (an endeavor put on hold during the spring....

a slip of the pen: A Trying Situation
http://lapsus--calami.blogspot.com/2008/03/trying-situation.html
A slip of the pen. Thursday, March 27, 2008. Well, class was certainly unexpected yesterday! I don't think any of us will be able to forget Twelfth Night after that. When an officer bursts through the classroom door, the first thing you see is not BCPS or SWAT on their shirts and hats. it's the guns that they are holding, pointing at your class. In those minutes I must have imagines a hundred different scenarios (ah, the blessings and curses of an active imagination). Posted by Abby Elisabeth.

a slip of the pen: "But that's all one, our play is done."
http://lapsus--calami.blogspot.com/2008/03/but-thats-all-one-our-play-is-done.html
A slip of the pen. Sunday, March 30, 2008. But that's all one, our play is done.". I'm not quite sure how this extra credit thing works out for those of us who could not go see the play because we were, well, up on stage. I don't think I could analyze the thing anymore than I did every night for the past two and a half months, so I am just going to write. You see, this is my livelihood. For the better part of my semesters at USCB I spend my time not only memorizing lines and rehearsing plays but doin...
