sixteenth-century   

Literary works in sixteenth-century England were rarely if ever created in isolation from  

 other currents in the social and cultural world. The boundaries that divided the texts we now regard as aesthetic from other texts were porous and constantly shifting. It is perfectly acceptable, of course, for the purposes of reading to redraw these boundaries more decisively, treating Renaissance texts as if they were islands of the autonomous literary imagination. One of the greatest writers of the period, Sir Philip Sidney, defended poetry in just such terms; the poet, Sidney writes in The Defence of Poetry (NAEL 8, 1.953–74), is not constrained by nature or history but freely ranges "only within the zodiac of his own wit." But Sidney knew well, and from painful personal experience, how much this vision of golden autonomy was contracted by the pressures, perils, and longings of the brazen world. And only a few pages after he imagines the poet orbiting entirely within the constellations of his own intellect, he advances a very different vision, one in which the poet's words not only imitate reality but also actively change it.

Faithاعتقاد

Faithاعتقاد:

اهالی روستایی تصمیم گرفتند که برای نزول باران دعا کنند. 
روزی که تمام اهالی برای دعا در محل مقرر جمع شدند،
فقط یک پسربچه با چتر آمده بود،
این یعنی اعتقاد.

اعتماد: Trust

وقتی که شما یک کودک یکساله را به بالا پرتاب می کنید،
او میخندد .....
چون یقین دارد که شما او را خواهید گرفت،
این یعنی اعتماد.

امید: Hope

هر شب ما به رختخواب می رویم
بدون اطمینان از اینکه روز بعد زنده از خواب بیدار شویم.
ولی شما همیشه برای روز بعد خودبرنامه دارید،
این یعنی امید.

ما با اعتقاد،اعتماد و امید زندگی کنیم.

دوزبانه :چند توصیه۱

 

There are moments in life when you miss someone
So much that you just want to pick them from
Your dreams and hug them for real
گاهی در زندگی دلتان به قدری برای کسی تنگ می شود
که می خواهید او را از رویاهایتان بیرون بیاورید
و آرزوهای خود در آغوش بگیرید
******
When the door of happiness closes, another opens
But often times we look so long at the
Closed door that we don't see the one which has been opened for us
وقتی در شادی بسته می شود، در دیگری باز می شود
ولی معمولاً آنقدر به در بسته شده خیره می مانیم
که دری که برایمان باز شده را نمی بینیم
****** 
Don't go for looks; they can deceive
Don't go for wealth; even that fades away
Go for someone who makes you smile
Because it takes only a smile to
Make a dark day seem bright
Find the one that makes your heart smile
 به دنبال ظواهر نرو؛ شاید فریب بخوری
به دنبال ثروت نرو؛ این هم ماندنی نیست
به دنبال کسی باش که به لبانت لبخند بنشاند
چون فقط یک لبخند می تواند
شب سیاه را نورانی کند
کسی را پیدا کن که دلت را بخنداند

رمان Heart of Darkness

Heart of Darkness is a novella written by Joseph Conrad. Before its 1902 publication, it appeared as a three-part series (1899) in Blackwood's Magazine. It is widely regarded as a significant work of English literature^[1] and part of the Western canon.

The story tells of Charles Marlow, an Englishman who took a foreign assignment from a Belgian trading company as a ferry-boat captain in Africa. Heart of Darkness exposes the dark side of European colonization while exploring the three levels of darkness that the protagonist, Marlow, encounters: the darkness of the Congo wilderness, the darkness of the Europeans' cruel treatment of the natives, and the unfathomable darkness within every human being for committing heinous acts of evil.^[2] Although Conrad does not give the name of the river, at the time of writing the Congo Free State, the location of the large and important Congo River, was a private colony of Belgium's King Leopold II. In the story, Marlow is employed to transport ivory downriver. However, his more pressing assignment is to return Kurtz, another ivory trader, to civilization, in a cover-up. Kurtz has a reputation throughout the region.

In the story, Marlow is employed to transport ivory downriver. However, his more pressing assignment is to return Kurtz, another ivory trader, to civilization, in a cover-up. Kurtz has a reputation throughout the region. 

 Background

Eight and a half years before writing the book, Conrad had gone to serve as the captain of a Congo steamer. On arriving in the Congo, he found his steamer damaged and under repair. He became sick and returned to Europe before serving as captain. Some of Conrad's experiences in the Congo and the story's historic background, including possible models for Kurtz, are recounted in Adam Hochschild's King Leopold's Ghost.^[3]

The story-within-a-story literary device that Conrad chose for Heart of Darkness—one in which Charles Marlow relates to other characters his account of his journey—has many literary precedents. Emily Brontë's Wuthering Heights and Mary Shelley's Frankenstein used a similar device but the best known examples are Geoffrey Chaucer's The Canterbury Tales, The Arabian Nights, Samuel Taylor Coleridge's The Rime of the Ancient Mariner and Boccaccio's Decameron.
