(Allen et. al, eds. 102). Three of these translated Anglo-Saxon poems incorporate remarkably comparable material. These poems demonstrate the difficulty of life at sea from multiple points of view. In "The Seafarer," "The Wanderer," and "The Wife's Lament," Anglo-Saxon poets reveal that human isolation causes an increase in mental instability and stress level. The first of the three poems provided, “The Seafarer,” uses instances of imagery to depict numerous occurrences of remoteness and…

The concert was presented by University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill’s Department of Music’s UNC Jazz Band on Saturday, October 10th, 2015. The concert venue was located at UNC Kenan Music Building’s Rehearsal Hall. It started from 8pm to 9.40 pm.

The stage was set up really well and has a nice lighting. Unc Jazz Band personnels…

Psalm 22 and the Messiah Belcher describes Psalm 22 as “an individual lament (vv.1-21) with an expanded section of praise and thanksgiving for God’s answer of the lament (vv. 22-31).” Psalm 22 is a unique Psalm because of its strong connection to the final passion week of Christ’s life. James Luther Mays in “Prayer and Christology: Psalm 22 as Perspective on the Passion” states how strong the connection is: “There are thirteen (perhaps seventeen) Old Testament texts that appear in the passion…

In book 18 of the Iliad we can observe that Achilles begins to lament his fallen friend, Patroklos. It is easy to understand that Achilles feels responsible for the death of Patroklos because Achilles did not want to fight anymore battles as he was still angry at Agamemnon from the time he challenged his honor back in book 1 when Agamemnon took…

The elegy’s status as a lament of loss does, indeed, mean that elegies are often responses to death, as evidenced in the example of Vasilii Zhukovskii’s “Na smert’ Andreia Turgeneva”. The poem’s subject could not be any more evident; the speaker begins with an incantatory “O” in which he addresses his deceased friend, and immediately describes his coffin. Yet the speaker remains alone, in his own words he is “оставленный,” abandoned; he laments the loss of companionship and friendship. This…

As a book filled with laments of the Babylonians’ destruction of Jerusalem, Lamentations describes what seems to be an eye-witness account to the suffering of the people who had once called the city their home. Jeremiah, who is traditionally thought to be the author of these laments, demonstrates a level of emotion that readers of the Hebrew Bible have yet to encounter in any of the previous books. There are several poetic elements that are present within the chapters of Lamentations, but the…

These renderings present a series of varying interpretations; which Stulman describes as a porous compound of boundless problems. While an explicit conversation between Yahweh and the prophet determines this passage to be a private lament, a recognition of a probable misunderstanding opens the question of the modality as a public or private complaint. There are other factors that change the modality of the text, which are found in vv13-14 in its relation with 17:3-4 as they are identical…
