French Kissing God: A Journey to Enlightenment is a Rumi-esque mystic poetry book for lovers of spirituality, God, Being, Mother Nature (or whatever term you choose to call all-denominational Divinity.) This revolutionary book offers inspiration and insights, gives guidance, and provides encouragement for spiritual seekers. No matter your religious or spiritual tradition, you will find this book eye-opening, heartening, humorous, and boundary breaking. French Kissing God brings a message of peace, love and Divine-realization while awakening the hearts of anyone seeking a truly mystical existence. The book's exuberant, pulsating, passionate and visceral verses are the hallmark of author Lyric Benson Fergusson, whose words let us join her on a journey to enlightenment-from the beginning days when she was seeking God to experiences of unimaginable Divine Union and bliss. This powerful collection successfully brings the concept of piety back "down to Earth" in the modern-day playground of spiritual awakening. French Kissing God: A Journey to Enlightenment has been endorsed by bestselling authors: Oriah Mountain Dreamer, Jeff Brown, Marci Shimoff, Barnet Bain, Dr. Norman Rosenthal and many others. Testimonials: "Here is a lover of God and through that a lover of humanity -the world should welcome this wonderful soul to join the great voices of Rumi and the other mystics-let us celebrate our shared humanity with Lyric and the gift of her beautiful verses." Ambassador Akbar Ahmed, Ibn Kalduhn Chair of Islamic Studies at American University, Former Pakistani High Commissioner to the Uk and Ireland and Author of Journey to Islam "These are startling poems-bold and unafraid-that abandon the conventional politeness we use to approach the deity. This is a pragmatic and earthy love for the creator of Earth. This is the Song of Solomon sung to a modern melody and it deserves your attention." Bill Prady, Executive Producer of CBS's The Big Bang Theory and ABC's Dharma and Greg "We human beings have a great forgetfulness, and poets like Lyric Benson are the voices that remind us again and again of our deepest longing for union with God. Through her words and here images Lyric ignites again the longing that will take us home." Oriah Mountain Dreamer, Bestselling Author of The Invitation

The Old French Ballette
Author : Eglal Doss-Quinby

Release : 2006
Category : Literary Collections
ISBN : 9782600010269
Book Description
L'important recueil de poésies conservé dans Oxford, Bodleian Library, Douce 308, copié vers 1310, est le seul chansonnier des trouvères dont les pièces soient classées par genre, de préférence à d'autres critères. Sous la rubrique "Ci en comancent les balletes" sont regroupés cent quatre-vingt-huit textes anonymes, destinés à la danse bien que la musique n'y figure pas. Les ballettes ont joué un rôle déterminant dans le développement du lyrisme médiéval, notamment dans la genèse des formes fixes à refrain du XIVe siècle. Composé principalement de pièces uniques, le recueil qu'éditent Eglal Doss-Quinby, Samuel N. Rosenberg, et Elizabeth Aubrey illustre une tradition lyrique élaborée en Lorraine, contemporaine du grand chant courtois des trouvères, mais que n'avaient pas reconnue, au XIIIe siècle, les compilateurs de chansonniers conventionnels. Précédée d'une introduction examinant avec méthode les problèmes de définition que pose le répertoire, cette édition critique rigoureuse est systématiquement enrichie de la traduction anglaise des ballettes et, pour vingt-six chansons, de la musique qui leur revient et a été identifiée dans d'autres sources manuscrites.

Book Description
"Let them come forward, they are thirsty for the sight of a King," said Henri IV to his followerswho were trying to push back the curious crowds as he entered Paris in February, 1594. It is perhaps to be regretted that seven kings (to say nothing of two emperors) have since more than quenched the French's taste for royalty, because they have long been in need of - and periodically have sought - a symbol of national unity. Modem-day France has had far more than her share of revolutions, counterrevolutions, uprisings, days, coups, affairs, crises, scandals - and constitution drafting. While it would be an over simplification to interpret this endemic strife as a seesaw conflict between two well-integrated blocs with the ideology of the Great Revolution as the dividing issue, the fact remains that since 1789 political divisions and quarrels arnong Frenchmen have been deep, bitter, and fundamental. After 1870, a Republic may have been the one solution which divided Frenchmen the least (to borrow an expression from Monsieur Thiers) ; but like any and all of the preceding alternatives it was to incur the relentless, irreconcilable opposition of important segments of the population. This study deals with those individuals and organ izations which continued to advocate, and sought to bring about a return to the monarchy under the Third and Fourth Republics.
