Poetry can give the readers a chance to make better choices in their lives. Hidden Fields prepares them to examine their self, religion, and philosophy by the spirit of poetry. Charles Ford wants to share his many life experiences with readers, and invite them into his home by his every thought, word, and action. So they may know him, and discover something special and unique about themselves. He wrote poems "for" people throughout history, rather than "to" them. Poems offer "for" people, even "for" readers who know little poetry. All are unique alive or dead. In Hidden Fields, Charles brings to readers his experiences and his individuations, which he expresses wonderfully by his ever-deepening imagination and understanding that he has about poetry. These poems about self embodied metaphysics of his faith, hope, and love. Charles writes poems about religion and philosophy, they are also in the vein of metaphysics. These poems reveal his profound spiritual growth that he achieved in his life. He experienced a religious conversion at three. He shares this experience and many others with readers; so they may know he writes poems from his heart by inspiration and love he has for God and man.

Music, Sexuality and the Enlightenment in Mozart's Figaro, Don Giovanni and Così fan tutte

Music, Sexuality and the Enlightenment explains how Mozart's music for Le nozze di Figaro, Don Giovanni and CosÃ¬ fan tutte 'sounds' the intentions of Da Ponte's characters and their relationships with one another. Mozart, by way of the infinitely generative and beautiful logic of the sonata principle, did not merely interpret Da Ponte's characterizations but lent them temporal, musical forms. Charles Ford's analytic interpretation of these musical forms concerns processes and structures in detail and at medium- to long-term levels. He addresses the music of a wide range of arias and ensembles, and develops original ways to interpret the two largely overlooked operatic genres of secco recitative and finales. Moreover, Ford presents a new method by which to relate musical details directly to philosophical concepts, and thereby, the music of the operas to the inwardly contradictory thinking of the European Enlightenment. This involves close readings of late eighteenth-century understandings of 'man' and nature, self and other, morality and transgression, and gendered identities and sexuality, with particular reference to contemporary writers, especially Goethe, Kant, Laclos, Rousseau, Sade, Schiller, Sterne and Wollstonecraft. The concluding discussion of the implied futures of the operas argues that their divided sexualities, which are those of the Enlightenment as a whole, have come to form our own unquestioned assumptions about gender differences and sexuality. This, along with the elegant and eloquent precision of Mozart's music, is why Figaro, Giovanni and CosÃ¬ still maintain their vital immediacy for audiences today.

Este libro es algo único. No soy el autor, aunque fue escrito a través de mí. Él es el autor, no yo. Por qué terminé siendo el que Él usaría sigue siendo un completo misterio desconcertante. Simplemente soy Su humilde administrador. en este proceso. Todos los que viven en Estados Unidos reconocen a Home Depot. Son un básico. Es un poema que contiene 2.500 cuartetas que narran la vida como cajera a tiempo parcial en una pequeña tienda Home Depot. No siempre es fácil de leer, pero tiene atractivo y valor para cualquiera que esté dispuesto a leerlo. ¿Cuáles son las comidas para llevar? Para mí, la mayor lección es la humildad. Las personas retratadas en este escrito son muy superiores a mí. No soy digno de ser el chicle proverbial en su zapato. Su confianza y la amistad que me brindaron es más valiosa que el oro de Ofir. Viven vidas muy difíciles de una manera extraordinaria. Nunca tuvieron un nivel de juego archivado. deben escalar el monte Everest todos los días. Hay humor, patetismo y, a veces, chismes tipo Upton Sinclair, todo mezclado en la escritura. El trabajo muestra lo bueno y lo malo de la vida, el trabajo y, de alguna manera, la América de hoy.
