Mary Barnard

Both translations state it quite eloquently, yet in different ways. One describes her as “forgetting love due her own blood,” and the other saying “not for her children nor her dear parents had she a thought, no” (Barnard 12-13; Carson 9-10). Sappho’s frustration with Helen seeps through in her language. The audience is also astounded by this thought. Yet, the reference to Helen proves Sappho’s thesis-as she said so initially. Helen, although she knew it would cause a war, pursued the most beautiful. And, the fact that she chose to follow Paris makes Helen an example of someone who finds the one they love, the most beautiful. Not only that, it makes known that her love is more important to her than any other aftereffects that her choice may bring. This return to the martial theme of the priamel reflects that not only is the person one loves more beautiful than armies, but it is a perfect example illustrating Sappho’s declaration. The story of Helen functions…

It was around that time in the afternoon when you realized your day is not going to be productive because you woke up an hour ago, but you try anyway. I was starving, but my roommate had told me about a brunch place in Harlem called Kitchenette, perfect for my two thirty brunch. For some reason, the subway was far more crowded than usual. People were stacked together, awkwardly touching each other. And, I start to regret trying to the trip to 125th Street. I finally reach 125th Street. The…

Mary is represented as icons, drawings, paintings, and apparitions, such as La Santa Muerte, La Negrita, Our Lady of the Rock, Madonna, The Virgin of Guadalupe, and Our Lady of the Wall. With there still being many more, all of this just undoubtedly proves how incredibly substantial her influence is. It is completely reasonable to believe in Mary’s influence because “to look at [her]…is to look at God’s original plan for humanity” (Nouwen, 1989), as mentioned in class: she is the ultimate…

Sagrada Familia,” or the Sacred Family. La Sagrada Familia is, therefore, an expiatory temple, which is a type of temple dedicated to a deity to show devotion, which is a reason as to why the work’s scale is so immense, and why Gaudi paid so much attention to small details. Gaudi’s decision to work at such a large scale is also because he wanted the church to be seen from anywhere in the city of Barcelona, inviting those who need salvation to come and be saved. Gaudi’s plan was limited however,…

people did not believe in the power of women to rule especially religious authorities. John Knox, believed “To promote a woman to bear rule, superiority, dominion or empire… is against all nature” (Doc 1). Despite this common belief Elizabeth’s rule was given to her because of her religious values which may be one of the reasons she felt a need to stick so closely to it as when she entered the Spanish Armada she said “ to live or die amongst you all: to lay down for my God” (Doc 7). Knox also…
