Book Description
Poetry and music have seldom been more closely associated than at the end of the nineteenth century, and the texts in which Baudelaire and Wagner, Mallarmé and Scriabin, Maeterlinck and Debussy evoked the reader’s and the listener’s states of mind are unusually rich in suggestion. Can poetry combine, as music seems to do, the transcendent satisfaction of an all-inclusive viewpoint with the excitement and uncertainty of an unfolding narrative? Can it partake of music’s power in order to give a face to the idea, and substitute, without disappointing, a definite variation for the ineffable theme? Symbolist writers intent on achieving musical effects in words looked for ways to overcome the hard division of subjects at the foundation of language, and the strategies they invented, while not always successful, show their supreme expectations concerning the receptive capability of their audience and an unqualified belief in the transforming power of their art. Students of aesthetics, of French and comparative literature should find something of interest in this provocative and original book. For ease of reference, a detailed abstract of the contents is provided, along with English translations of all quotations in other languages.

Book Description
Gloriesla Acquah has what many might call a happy disposition. She carries an optimistic attitude, and she sees the good in all the people she meets. Her life, though, has been anything but easy. In Unquenchable, she shares her story, telling how she expresses happiness in her life because her journey has brought her to a place of gratefulness. This memoir chronicles Acquah’s life, sharing how she was conceived during the second Liberian Civil War in Africa, born to a malnourished teenage girl, and struggled with poverty and mental illness. She experienced a life filled with turmoil, obstacles, tensions, frustrations, depression, suicidal thoughts, anger, misery, temptations, mistakes, setbacks, loneliness, tears, negativity, discouragements, betrayals, and hopelessness. In Unquenchable, Acquah narrates how she was given a cross to carry, but she is grateful for that cross. That cross is a representation and a reflection of what Jesus, her higher power, had to experience to set her free and allow her to share this joy with others.
