The Sense of Poetry; 7; Jilting of Troilus

The sons of poetry an introduction to the appreciation and understanding of poetry with a richer university professor. Television like your Harvard University. On this program Professor Richards will read and discuss the jilting approaches for drug use and President by William Shakespeare. But that's a Richards. There's a passage in baton to play today which will introduce our problem this time when a. Baton makes his you know to say. 10 10 bad kind of problem on choice between beauty and truth and love and knowledge. And it takes the form of tunes between love and knowledge. Since there is no other choice. Now that's a situation we all know very well indeed. Trainers of the bridegroom and friends of the bride to be can often be had saying.

What can he possibly seen. How is it he doesn't see through labs. How can I be so blind and all that sort of thing. Now the most promising young man in Shakespeare. I sort of learned this Troilus and sort of learned the young Hamlet with Henry the Fifth. Is in the situation infatuated. He's absolutely dazzled by pressing the prettiness in this little trait. There's. A kind of. Weather in. The man's incalculable little. Undependable that you could ever imagine. And there she is. And Turner says so blinded with his love

and beauty that he's helpless and yet if you watch him a day or two before the final decision. You can see him in a council chamber saying this now is not we look at it in a moment he's not announcing his manage the simplest form of the impending decision that every problem that comes up has been discussed in terms of it. So here now look at this. I take it today I wife. And my election nitrites. Lead on in the conduct of my will my will and pinned to it by my DI isn't it true trading in pilots takes the dangerous shawls will and judgment. How may I avoid although my will of this taste what it elected the wife commit no invasion. To the lands from their senators stand. By. ANA. Look at the words there for instance.

His eyes and the flame that's devouring him traded pilots his eyes and he has experienced in your life has its own gambling sort of trading genius. Thank you the Elizabethans. When will and judgment live and knowledge and try less is a lot of Ana. He's the tonight in the true life. He's the example in over Shakespeare of the sort of truth we spell with a pronounced trope the trial the trial and the trial. He describes himself in terms of truth it's just at the most time time moment he's having a doubt Christians since Saturday he's much too shrewd a boy to. Freedom from hesitation. That pledging faith for one and two on the not on their patrols manage night and Christian has

just said I've been to Iraq a train. Look at it on the screen but she says you are why these are adults. You laugh so to be NY and live exceeds man's mind that all this with God some have. Actually lived and knowledge beauty and truth. She's taking their names Randy and and tireless then describes himself in the following. I am most true as true simplicity and then the see through. It's exactly right and then suddenly a code on Christian is swept away from him that midnight she's taken from. Try and try and take no. The Greek temple is part of an exchange of prisoners. And all in charge of one diode be

that spring. He got them. That that same day later on time this is in the Greek camp there's a kind of truce with a lot of doings. His brother has kind understanding of the Greeks to do it. And them. And then. His first visit to the Greek camp. Try this is described again very carefully by a certain units see who's now in let's see is the head of the Greek intelligence. He's perhaps even Shakespeare's greatest statesman. But they haven't been resignation about statesman. He's a man who knows you knows everything. Can't think of it and he doesn't know. Would you like to hear his observations on young rancid. She's very young. He says. If I have found. This language and guys keep have

peaks how did one turn spit it out. A DAYBREAK joint. Then you bought it. Oh these didn't counter I was so glib tongue. But gave out posting. Well coming out it comes. And why the tape most of them go to Evergreen take me to set them down a lot but you don't. But. He's going to be proved dead ride and in almost no time. Oh and Agamemnon who's the Greek general Listen no. Notice is timeless and. Trojan is that Satan looks so happy. They're all watching right now they're like pets in this scene. And Agamemnon so you try to list is almost. Good grief at having lost his rancid. No

wonder he looks so healthy and he has found his description. This trial is the youngest son of Priam. A true knight not yet not yet matching us. Speaking indeed sand deeds less in his time not soon provoked you know of being provoked. Soon comes. His heart and hand both open and both for what he has. He begins walk thinks he yet gives enough to know God's guide is bound to hear nor dignifies and half. Thought with wrath manliest Hector but more dangerous in his plays and froth subscribes to tender objects but he tried us. He can actually use more nicotine than Genesis.

Well then I'll grant him have thought. I thought not up to stand you find him in many texts. That's just editors trying to make Shakespeare written more vindicative more in vain. Than Janice. It's a build up isn't it. If ever there was one. Well that may be evening time that's just going to watch his own newly translated. Handing over to. The Venice knee press that he'd try less had given as an advantage. Well and let's have a look at the sort of scene in which this takes place that festivities going on man the truce and Ulysses who is usually disguised everything. Always does has taken tried us with him to within sight of calculus is Ted's place it is Pakistan's daughter and she is lodging

in this exchange. You see the tent you see perhaps crested at its mouth. And yet imply less and he has Ulysses with his hand and. Try to sit you know talk to read wise and know how these people are going to know how I want to people are going to do before they do it. How down to the shows. He's got to keep trying less from flying in. Remember how dangerous it all is and sort of lay prone on the ground and now the wing is saying he's another expert in human nature. He's a specialist in calmness and an advocate. And he sneaked along to see what's going on. It's all immensely compressed in time and now for dramatic reasons for concentration and

medication. Shakespeare is backing up into a few what would normally take several months. But again remember it's war time. War time when people's feelings can often be seen to change when I'm believable rapid nonetheless and the thing is strangely speeded up. You know what they do in the great aquarium. They take the living creature perhaps a cubic mile of ocean and pack them into space not much larger than the room and of course a lot more happens when you do that. Expand the same way we see the action. Yeah we watch young becoming fouls within 20 to fall. Trying to manage. And we've seen a trial is being driven almost mad. Out of his wits and his heart almost broken and then recovering his sanity and all within minutes while we watch its most extraordinary special speeded up

operation. That went out the side of this deliberate oppression that Shakespeare is using now. You know this is one of his most carefully constructed plays. It's in the same manner with Hamlet just before Julius Caesar. Now that's a panicked side it's sort of disregarded so much you like this commentator mankind. Who's gazing at the tenth man so. He's. Now. To spy on this dog because he's invented a room and I thought he could confide to rose early and often stop that. But both he and Ulysses seem to know what that means up to before dad knows himself. And he had the societies that need this meat so hot. That most cats.

I would no more trust him when he and I will look at you. They say he keeps that trojan giraffe. And you say this. They tell. US is. Can. I live. Nothing but let's hear it. All neat and confident about it. Well there they are. The fog the tent. And now you try to. What she has to choose between lives and knowledge. Has to fear to be true. Struggling to separate and yet coming together again. But for all the great outcomes that the main point to this occasion. Watch for a moment how Shakespear hand goes the mounting of the tension. Ulysses you know that something. He can feel it on his head on a timeless issue and. When you go

it will break out. Try less. She's close to his cheek. Your new sitcom drought. Try to stay. I will not speak. That is between norm the fences and God of patients. Stay a little while. And then side to these chips am I out of the devil or share it with his back turned around. And. I don't think God. Told us knees to get by. I am naturally if. I. Try to himself and he's going to use the good we now know that God of patients inside 14 lines is seeing patients and patients come back seven times in trial assumes all unities mouth

it's a gob of patients it's keeping thing safe as Ulysses says This place is dangerous. The time right deadly to many insecure not true that living through. And remember that this triad of students you said in the Baxter news movement negative than generous loudly. This god the patience between his When the norm looked and says has a terrific task trying misters under a strain enough to break him now and I made leaves at last and crescent so I'm quite serious. Wow and I get looks on the back with my heart out that I don't see. Which looks our mortal beauty. And then she finishes Oh and then conclude my ends. Swayed by

i use of tepid Q She's made her choice between beauty and truth. Now trying to save time. But now let's go grab a quick get through this passage looking at the details at the language and the difficulties in it and then I'll come back and try to read it dramatically. I'm just going to run through it like a man writing notes for a few minutes with you and let's look at the text. Yeah this is all stuff I'm not on drugs it is where I stay then try less to make a recorder Dasent bad stone love a print syllable that was to see if he doesn't make that record he won't believe that this happened to match for him. I'm about to tell how these two did cow act ran up tonight in publishing the truth. Since he hasn't accepted it since since since. Yet there is a trial lawyer to his believe this in my heart and asked.

There's the thing that led him to Red Crescent and and but and so obstinately strong that that invert that test by the doctor over throw the evidence of my own senses. As if those organs had deceptions functions created led to collapse Latinate. That's the only thing they could do was to see this and lions and then who was it who was it really that Ted was christened and knew this and I cannot conjure Trojan. I cannot summon up this Miss Baylis. And she was a natural. This is no show she was. They now each are shot in the other. That joint sanity and trying this right in my negation have no taste impact must elicit no mind and Chris it was yeah but

now I just let it not be believed. A woman who would think we had mothers do not give advantage to stomp on critics apt without a theme for depravation very good at running people that want to measure up and the general sex by this example think RAH that this not great. It's so explain. You see that you don't most denying what he's seen. And he's he's king and they. Are. Now. The gods and everything. With this departure from now. When. I do something has to give way. It's only. A. At last to sit where he is he is wandering round. Let's just follow the text a few more words. Ulysses What has she done Prince Troilus nothing at all and that's not

this. Where and even thirst psyche's thinks for a moment that he's going to meet him so when he swaggered himself out on gnomes I was trying to say this she know that it's grace and beauty have a subtle This is not cheap and so is God vows if the sanctimony of sanctimony be the god's delight if that be rooted in unity itself this is not she. Now hang on with that for a moment. Look at those lines that those four lines. They might amount to buy all that for nothing more than that. But they matter very much more. The sanctimony be the god's tonight it's a wild thought perhaps but I'm guessing. Could Shakespeare possibly have known the great discussion in needed between Socrates as to when the godless delight in sanctum a name because it sanctimony made into sanctum and it just becomes the God that night and it sank to

name o ness and then the next line if they've been really new in the thing itself reminiscence of the it's that Socrates and it's written at the bottom good which by which all things. Hang. Together. Now these possibilities and I don't know how seriously to take them. Did I quote Coleridge's description of Plato. AS. That. Plank from that red cup pan a dice cost on the shores of idolatrous Greece. Well if these little things sometimes feel as one reads them night planks from the wreck of Plato's Academy picked up somehow by that so pre beach coma shake them. Then he goes

on to the next step this is not as she used to do this solution. Precedent a path that two presidents and that to try to listen to. And he goes oh no madness of this cos that cause sets up with and against itself by phone and the thought of today. And then come two lines. Which we ought to keep in mind especially I think next. Time in connection with the passage about reason in itself and found in the Phoenix in the title The true the reading then where reason can group love without an addition and mass assume all reason with root. That's an extraordinary quiescence. And act. AS. The coming. It's like I am in the middle of the Vatican and Troilus is going to speak. That dread horse power. Which ship. Man don't know how to make a no

call in a few lines around. And there's. No act quite like. This To quote a drum. I'm trying this this having a deck up calmness you know where it's drawn got under. More time than choice. It's this was tried us. I don't link set to meet with the calming standardness we were thinking about time in the middle of the Grecian and well you see you next time in Phoenix in the temple. Now let me try to read the whole passage through from beginning to end. For the action because these things really don't exist subject to chatter until you read them. For them motion changes. And you have to read them all act and live. Now let us look again. Down

mine on it. It is. My stay we then. To make a record donation to my kids. So every syllable of it was about to tell how these two did pro act. Shall I not lie in publishing a TRUE. So yeah that is the credence in my heart an ass but I have so ops it's wrong. That me and testifies and those dog on his head. This step shows functions create new too. And I'm going. Wild right. Now I cannot counter Trojan. She was not shot. Now show she was a Geisha and I have no taste of madness nor mine my lord. OK so there's that now.

Let it not be believed for love on hard think we have math us do not get advantage does not but thinks. Ab. Went out to the dance. Privation. Square. The general sex by Christine drew think right that there's not there's a. Lot that she done Prince that can saw a lot of us nothing at all unless that is where she will. These acronyms 5 times 0 9. This should we know this is a question if you can have a certain this is not she your stows guide to the NE and sanctimony be the god's delight if there be rule in unity it's. Now this is not she. Oh madness of discourse that cause sets up with them the gags that.

The Hi-Fi would I thought attain that reason can rebel without addition laughs assume or reason with. There's a.. And it's not. Thank you. Maybe in my eyes conduce a faggot of this nature thing and separate their guides more than this guy and the spacious breath of this division admits nobody face front up as well as happened yet is wrote and to and instance I wouldn't try Pluto's gate crasher just my entire day with the bonds of heaven. And done so in terms strong as ever and it's the bonds up happened last slipped dissolved and loose

and with I'm not I'm. Not high time. That. Some have faith some have that Frank and scrapped a bit and very easy and that makes ten. Thank. You Diane. Now of course almost every line in a speech like that. A common thing. If you'd like to see what I might be saying about it in more length take a look at NASA of my Carlos and crescent and Plato. But you're trying to speculative instrument that sort of connection of things not that. You know best of Chicago Press speculative instruments. I shouldn't comment in detail about that. But you want to know

what the evidence is in this speech. Trying this has really come out now when it's. Very at the end of the next scene. He gets a letter. From Crescent who doesn't know he's been found out. Andrus asks what's in it. He reads it and says echoing Hamlet. Mere words no matter from the heart. The effect I thought in a way that you test the letter that sit on the wing and send two way and that means to get out now. So Nando's is about Edited by Simon. Not that. We need. Now. Just consider that when I bought the Supremes Romney call it happened. That means that she he knows what's so oughtn't be patient. Be patient and Christine.
