Greetings, friends! Here we are arrived at another Advent and I’d like to share some Advent poetry with you, as I did last year.  I will keep the commentary to a minimum, as is my usual habit, and allow you to soak up the verses as they are.  Enjoy and ponder.

Lament for the Rohirrim, by J.R.R. Tolkien (Remembrance Day 2021)

November 11, 2021May 14, 2022 ~ Nicole K. ~ 2 Comments

Where now the horse and the rider? Where is the horn that was blowing? / Where is the helm and the hauberk, and the bright hair flowing? / Where is the hand on the harpstring, and the red fire glowing?

I shall not keep you long, he cried.  Cheers from all the assembly.  I have called you all together for a Purpose.1 Friends, I have indeed called you all together for a Purpose, and I need not tell you that this Purpose is that “tremendously exciting announcement” which I have been hinting at for the … Continue reading “An ANNOUNCEMENT”

No Post This Week

Friends, This is just a note to say I shan't be posting this week. I am in the throes of writing an essay due on Monday and studying is taking desperate second priority.

Take Up The Tale, by Malcolm Guite

My dear friends, Know you what today is?  It is September 24th, one year after I published Remembered Lore!  I will reveal the significance of this date in a moment, but first let us toss some autumn leaves into the air to celebrate a year of myth re-found, words re-learned, and golden drafts of poetry … Continue reading A Light on the Road

The Rubicon of Language-Learning

September 16, 2021 ~ Nicole K. ~ 6 Comments

I have attempted before to describe my remarkable experience of learning Latin and how it revolutionized my perspective on language-learning.  All this was due to the way I was taught:  submersion in the language itself.  No toe-dipping---complete submersion, head and all.  The book I was taught from was Hans Ørberg’s Lingua Latina.  Lingua Latina uses … Continue reading The Rubicon of Language-Learning

My Stance on Introductions

September 9, 2021September 9, 2021 ~ Nicole K. ~ 2 Comments

It has been some time since I stopped reading introductions to works of fiction.  My classmates and I were discouraged from doing so in completing our readings for classes using the Socratic method as class discussion depended upon students developing their own ideas of the text. Introductions are essay-like writings placed at the beginning of … Continue reading My Stance on Introductions
