OK, I'll give it my best shot...\n\n* Who is the speaker or speakers in the poem, and what is the situation?\n\nThe speaker appears to be a military trainee, learning about the names of parts in (bolt, breech, saftey, etc. ) and functions of his rifle.\n\n* What basic contrasts are represented by the trainees and by the gardens?\n\nThere are several:\n"..eloquent gestures, Which in our case we have not got."\nNot much eloquent about cleaning a rifle...\n\n"If you have any strength in your thumb. The blossoms\nAre fragile and motionless"\nStrength vs fragility\n\n"Easing the spring. And rapidly backwards and forwards\nThe early bees are assaulting and fumbling the flowers:\n          They call it easing the Spring"\nTwo different definitions of spring, one in the rifle, one a season.\n\nand more...\n\n* What statement does the poem make about war as it affects men and their lives?\n\nWar is about hard, cold things like rifles and all that goes with war, whereas the gardens represent beauty, silence, peace.\nThe gardens bring out the best in man, wars the worse.\n\nHope this helps!

Here's a resource. Go check it out. For more, just type "T.S. Eliot 'the Wasteland', mythology" into your search engine and look it up, the old-fashioned way!\n\nDon't forget Five-paragraph construction, especially on a 12-page paper!

We have a local poet and book store owner, Laurence Ferengetti, who is a contemporary of Alan Ginsberg. In fact, he is the one who published " Howl ", by Ginsberg. Ferengetti wrote a piece for the SF Chronicle not to long ago and , even in uber-liberal San Francisco, it was not too well received. It was a piece calling the atomic bombing of Japan racist. It was poorly written, unsupported by fact and intellectually lazy. Ferengetti seems to carry on the tradition of weak, though ideologically driven, scholarship of the " beat generation " and it's progeny. You do not have to believe me; go to the San Francisco Chronicle " graveyard " for the full history of the beat movement in San Francisco.

Watchman Nee yes, but where is the website for T Austin Sparks, never heard of him.  If he is as good as Watchmen, I will read him

Since the book just was released today (2/13), I don't think the list will be readily floating around online (Then nobody would have to buy it).  I would say to go check it out at Borders or Barnes & Noble.\n\nI hope to buy it within a week or so, and will let you know if anyone from GA is in there.

What is the authors name???\n\nAUTHORS ON THE WEB \n\nA Collection of Biographical Sketches\n\n\nThis page is an attempt to bring together literary author biographies available on the World Wide Web. The biographies vary in quality, timeliness, length, and authority. If you don't find a biography here and know of one, please send it along. If there is no biography available, write one and send it along. It will take time for this page to become one of substance. And, in keeping with the beauty of the medium, it will continually grow and change. Credit for this page must go to Dr. Gretchen Whitney at The University of Tennessee where I was a graduate student in the School of Information Science. Dr. Whitney's "dead German" assignment gave me inspiration for this page.\n\nMore...........

Look in Falling Up or Where the Sidewalk Ends or any other collection of Shel Silverstein.  He gets outside the box when it omes to poetry.  You might also want to look at some of Carl Sandburg's works.

I've put a link below to an article about Graves that discusses some of his preoccupations and personal mythology. Read the paragraphs just before the mention of the poem to get an idea of what the writer thinks of Graves's motivation. \n\nBecause of the strong rhetoric in the first line - something about there being one story and one story only (I don't have the text in front of me right now), one is inclined to think that WHATEVER the story is behind the poem is a universal one, and quite possibly "the story of Graves's life." \n\nPoems are never only autobiographical, though. Nor are their symbols always completely coherent and discernible. \n\nGood luck.\n\n[By the way, I didn't copy from the answer above - which is a very good one - it's just a coincidence that we were looking in the same place. The other answerer posted 59 seconds before I got there, but after I'd started writing.]

My goodness.   This is a very interesting poem about how we are lied to throughout our lives and have to deal with those facts.  It would fit astonishingly well into any media studies course and am glad to have read it.  Tis true that Walter Raleigh was in Queen Elizabeth's command and was held in the tower.  The first respondant had excellent points, but after that... there were few comments that made sense.  Sorry folks.\n\nIt is most assuredly not about SEX!!  Except that we might lie to get it.  The point is that lies are imbedded into our very framework.  We cannot speak a truth.  Wit does get tiresome.  Beauty is used for naught.  There is nothing that is singularly GOOD- and Raleigh discovers it with a lovely cadence.  The repeptitive nature of "Tell them the lie" can be seen as a stab at church and country, but it goes deeper than than.  He mocks consumers and landowners.  Everyone is lying and he knows it.\n\nWhat I mean is simple that when people attempt to define something by using Good or Bad, they are intrinsically wrong.\n\nI hope you do well in your life and take the time to read lots of poetry.
