2024.05.13 05:59 SofisticatiousRattus Why did Americans forswear rhymes and meters?
Ah, distinctly I remember it was in the bleak October; And each separate dying coal wrought its ghost on the floor. Eagerly I wished the tomorrow;—vainly I had sought to borrow From my books surcease of sorrow—sorrow for the lost Lenore— For the rare and radiant maiden whom the angels name Lenore— Nameless here forever.It sounds awful! What's even weirder is that sometimes I see a poem almost fill a meter, but then scoot away at the last moment. I am not even talking about deliberate broken meter, like "The Second Coming" by W.B. Yeats - I still don't like it but I understand it is meant to be broken - I am talking about where it feels like the author failed to write in a meter for no reason. I don't have a lot of examples ready to go, but here is one:
For all sad words of tongue and pen,The saddest are these, 'It might have been'

Wait, everything has to rhyme? Ummm… a bit of exposition before we start, My wife passed way last year, something to do with her heart. We don’t know why she died and we never will, But I’m here, myself, I have to go on still. If you don’t know, the fan art I’ve credited is from an Amazon prime show, Called “Hazbin Hotel”, I’m quite a fan, and there’s a character I want you to know. She’s an overlord of hell whose looks you can describe, As a “knife themed ballerina”, and I was inspired by her design. This poem is not about her, she just inspired the personification within, I’d like to know your thoughts please, now, let us begin. submitted by DynaStaats to PoemHub [link] [comments] |

2024.05.11 22:27 VolkerBach In Praise of Sheep (c. 1340)
https://www.culina-vetus.de/2024/05/11/in-praise-of-sheep/ submitted by VolkerBach to CulinaryHistory [link] [comments] Today, it’s another of the König vom Odenwald’s poems: Sheep, 14th century English illumination courtesy of wikimedia commons VI This is a poem of sheep Nobody shall criticise it much I have invented a poem A lady has brought me to do it She has a noble husband I shall not name her unless she allows it Do not ask me Since I made that promise! So I begin straightaway And speak of an animal: I rhyme of the sheep Whether awake or asleep You profit from it and honour it If anyone were turn around my words He would do me an injustice Even lords, knights and servants Keep sheep nowadays Princes and counts also seek To have a share in sheep And it is no great misfortune To own many of them. They bear the wool That you wash and shear From which rich clothing is made You also tan the skins And tease and dye the wool Comb and spin it People gain wealth with it Wind and twist it Before and behind Spool, weave and full it And they also defraud people that way And are not ashamed They put it on the tenter frame Anoint it, card it, and smooth it So they (the pieces of cloth) become one like another Cloth merchants measure it out And the wool is shorn with shears And tailors put together many garments That look differently He whose sheep prosper Will have full chests and casks And also have gold and silver (When) both rams and lambs Prosper in numbers So they can be blessed at Easter. Whether they are big or small, They dress legs and feet In hosen and socks And line tunics. They clothe head and body They adorn man and woman Boys and girls A feast for the eyes As coats and tunics. You know pelts (kursenbelze) They are black and white And many people are eager for Danish lamb fleece (tenisch) Though it is not wise To wear it against the cold. What usefulness we have in sheep! Tabards, long tunics and wide overcoats /taphart, kutten, kotzen) Cowls (schepeler) for monks and nuns, too That are often worn You should also have this (garment) in church Where a priest wears it. Headwear, surcots, jackets (huben, surkat, suphen) Overcoats, felt, and headscarves (suknie, vilze, gufen) Coverlets (tucher ubir bare) This I say truly You hang them over a wagon. This I must say Front and rear horsegear and saddles Are covered in woollen cloth And many pieces from many places So the skin does not rub bare. Whey, curds and sheep cheese And also the milk please people Makers of hard cheese Are good fellows Also, sheep butter, Should not be criticised. Sheep lamb during Lent And you also fertilise fields with sheep (dung) Hear the broad list: They also make gain (literally: fish) with sheep dung Where they stable horses I tell this to all of you! More useful yet, I mean, Are meat, feet, and bones Innards, head, brain, and good galantines, Tongues, tallow, horns and skin All come from sheep in quantity And many a sweet music of stringed instruments (seitenspil) Is made with sheep gut I tell you, rich and poor, Also, the string of the wollensleger, They should move it diligently! You shall also hear You find in the shops (kremen) gloves, belts and bags That can be used to barter. Now I will explain That the skins are turned into Belts, pouches, and shoes Points for hosen, parchment and books, Fodder bags and carrying bags In which you put clothes. Sheep leather is healthy If you have an injury on your finger Where a bad blister is A wool thread needs to go there. If you have a mattress (materaz) You will lie all the better when you travel If it is stuffed with wool. Take care of your cover If the blanket is folded fourfold (geviret) It adorns it best. You also have a rough (one/side?) That you draw over your shoes. Leather sheets (lederlaken) are painted - This is done by someone skilled - With animals and sea creatures You make love upon and underneath them. The hands of gentlewomen Work on (embroidery) frames Cloth to cover walls Throw rugs and wall hangings (zyechen und teppich) And chair covers, I say. They have chosen (to make) belts And especially one to hang a (hunting) horn from. They also make many fine strings of wool Which the braid into their hair The short and the long And attach hats to them. And if they use woollen breeches They wear them underneath Thus they have taken counsel Like their forebears did out of need. From fine sheep Come rich heraldic overcoats (wapencleit) Blankets and Horse covers (? coopertur) Come from excellent sheep. Many people profit from this And look very well Ram’s horns are fitted to helmets Small and large ones The rams also carry crooked horns Those are suited as lamps The kunig speaks much of sheep But he himself has not even one Very well, I will take care to be in the company Of those who have them, here I am. Each archbishop If he comes to court Must have a pallium That must come from sheep The sheep makes many people rich Hear now who it is similar to: When it is killed it makes no sound And be careful not to mock it Our noble God did the same He bore death willingly May His kingdom be open to us So we can all get into it Thus help us His mother. When we compare this poem to the ones the same author addressed to the cow, the chicken, and the goose, it becomes clear how little the sheep was esteemed in culinary terms. He dutifully mentions meat, innards, and the galantines made from it as well as the milk, cheese, and (interestingly) butter, but his heart is not in it. Not even lamb, a seasonal delicacy of spring, gets a second look. People ate sheep, there are surviving recipes, but clearly it was not something you would choose to do if you had other options. By contrast, the wool and leather evoke lengthy and detailed verse. Clearly, this is where the author sees the true purpose of the animal: Sheep will make you rich. That was a fairly new phenomenon in the fourteenth century, when land for grazing became available as population declined from disease and famine while an ever more sophicsticated cloth industry called for more raw material. In this respect, the poem is less a tale of tradition and more investment advice. The focus is clearly on cloth and clothing that can be made of wool. There are many other points of interest here if daily life fascinates you. From the string of the wollensleger (tasked with cleaning and preparing wool for carding) to those of stringed instruments, from horn used in lanterns to wool wrapped around blisters or coloured strings braided into hair, we get a glimpse of medieval life. I am not quite certain how to interpret the “woollen breeches” that are worn by women “underneath … like their forebears did out of need”. It may be a reference to menstrual hygiene – the question how possible devices for collecting menstrual blood was work is a vexing one for lack of evidence. Few writers are willing to discuss this topic at all, but the König vom Odenwald seems like the type who would. If that is what it means, it is certainly hidden in too many layers of euphemism to allow for a confident reconstruction. Finally, the thing I found most endearing and tempting to reconstruct is the lederlaken, painted bedsheets made of sheepskin. Adorned with animals and sea creatures by a competent artist – the author specifically makes this point – they sound both visually attractive and pleasant to use. If I ever get to the point of making a proper tent and camp equipment, this will be an item to consider. Der König vom Odenwald (literally king of the Odenwald, a mountain chain in southern Germany) is an otherwise unknown poet whose work is tentatively dated to the 1340s. His title may refer to a senior rank among musicians or entertainers, a Spielmannskönig, but that is speculative. Many of his poems are humorous and deal with aspects of everyday life which makes them valuable sources to us today. The identity of this poet has been subject to much speculation. He is clearly associated with the episcopal court at Würzburg and likely specifically with Michael de Leone (c. 1300-1355), a lawyer and scholar. Most of his work is known only through the Hausbuch of the same Michael de Leone, a collection of verse and practical prose that also includes the first known instance of the Buoch von guoter Spise, a recipe collection. This and the evident relish with which he describes food have led scholars to consider him a professional cook and the author of the Buoch von Guoter Spise, but that is unlikely. Going by the content of his poetry, the author is clearly familiar with the lives of the lower nobility and even his image of poverty is genteel. This need not mean he belonged to this class, but he clearly moved in these circles to some degree. Michael de Leone, a secular cleric and canon on the Würzburg chapter, was of that class and may have been a patron of the poet. Reinhardt Olt whose edition I am basing my translation on assumes that the author was a fellow canon, Johann II von Erbach. I only translate the poems that deal with aspects of food or related everyday life here. There are several others which are less interesting as sources. They can be found in the newest extant edition by Reinhard Olt, König vom Odenwald; Gedichte, Carl Winter Verlag, Heidelberg 1988. |
