She never does anything that could compromise herself or others. Everything has been meticulously planned down to the last letter. Review: Five Feet Apart opens in a hospital room, showing the ins and outs of Stella’s life. As their connection intensifies, so does the temptation to throw the rules out the window and embrace what neither of them can ever truly have. There’s an instant sizzling tension between the two, though restrictions dictate that they must maintain a safe distance between each other. Her life is carefully planned with routines, boundaries and self-control - all of which begin to strain when she meets Will, an impossibly charming teen who has the same illness as she does. ![]() ![]() Synopsis: Seventeen-year-old Stella has spent a good portion of her life in the hospital as a cystic fibrosis patient. Review by: Chantelle, LCA Intern for Library HQ ![]() ![]() ![]() The text of that page had only been known from the first recorded reading of Howl by Ginsberg at Reed College in 1956. These are changes that would otherwise be lost.”Įven more significantly, he said, the carbon is the only extant draft version of one complete page of the poem which Ginsberg discarded entirely, with the poet rewriting and revising the whole page. Because it is the carbon copy (and not the top copy), you can see many of the original choices made by Ginsberg before he revised them. Cassidy said: “This draft is an important step in the evolution of the poem. The 11-page early draft is for sale at Type Punch Matrix, for $425,000 (£308,000). Lawrence Ferlinghetti would be arrested and charged, unsuccessfully, with obscenity for publishing it, a trial that launched Ginsberg’s career into the stratosphere. Ginsberg famously read aloud from Howl for the first time in October 1955 – “the night of the birth of the San Francisco poetry renaissance”, according to Jack Kerouac.īut the poem, a cry of rage against society which laments how the poet “saw the best minds of my generation destroyed by madness”, was not published until the autumn of 1956. ![]() ![]() ![]() Maise and Evan resolve to keep their hands off each other, but the attraction is too much to bear.

The summer before senior year, she has plans: get into a great film school, convince her mom to go into rehab, and absolutely do not, under any circumstances, screw up her own future.īut life has a way of throwing her plans into free-fall.

Liber AL vel Legis was dictated to Crowley over the course of three days in 1904 by a discarnate entity called Aiwass. ![]() The Book of the Law - or Liber AL vel Legis - is the central holy text of Thelema, a spiritual and social philosophy derived from Western esotericism and founded by magician Aleister Crowley. Words and phrases that have the same numeric value are thought to have similar properties and can be used to meditate on hidden meanings or relationships contained within those similarities. This sum can be referred to as the “key” of that word, or phrase. A Gematria is a system used to assign a numeric value for each letter of a word, which is then summed. One aspect of Qabalah is Gematria, a mystical interpretation of a holy text using specific mathematical laws. ![]() ![]() Hermetic Qabalah is a derivative of a school of Jewish mysticism called Kabbalah that was developed by modern Western esotericists as a way to explore the divine and the nature of the universe. About The Secret Cipher Gematria and Qabalah ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() Iwan in general is a character I couldn't quite get my finger on, the whole "being on the cusp of true belief while still clinging to atheism" thing which seems to be alluded to at the end of his fever dream just doesn't do it for me, especially considering his outspoken critique of religion and seeming disdain for the philosopher only waiting for ~1k years before getting up and walking through purgatory. I had heard of that chapter and how incredible it is and when I finally got to it I was kind of confused/underwhelmed.Īt the core it seemed to be a discussion between having to be free to truly have faith (Jesus' view) versus most people being too weak to resist temptation and therefore in need of earthly authority (GI), but I'm not really sure tbh.

His goblin host, Werfel, an archivist, is as welcoming as possible, understanding the stakes and genuinely wanting this visit to go well for the future of his people as well as his own personal safety. To this end he travels to the center of the goblin kingdom in order to resolve the generations-long hostilities between the two peoples with a mysterious gift with which he's been entrusted. Historian Brangwain Spurge has been mockingly known as "Weedy" since he was a young elf, and he desperately hopes to become a hero instead of the squeamish and fearful laughingstock his peers see him as. ![]() |
