Renaissance Choros
"The Mysteries: ''Renaissance Choros''", or "The Mysteries", is a poem by American poet H.D. first published in 1931, as the concluding poem of her poetry anthology ''Red Roses for Bronze''. Inspired by the Eleusinian Mysteries, the poem concerns a ritual meant to resurrect Adonis. Summary Throughout the poem, which is "short lined and diffuse", the poet employs repetition, for instance in Section IV, where the term "no man" appears several times, or in Section V, where the word ''behold'' is mentioned three consecutive times and twice at another point. The opening lines of "The Mysteries: ''Renaissance Choros''" allude to the approaching world war: "Dark / days are past / and darker days draw near; / darkness on this side, / darkness over there". A direct reference to the words of Jesus in the Gospel of Mark ( 4:39) appears further down: " Peace / be still." Jesus is called a "magician" in the second part of "The Mysteries", recalling H.D.'s earlier poem "Magician" (1933), whi ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

Resurrection
Resurrection or anastasis is the concept of coming back to life after death. In a number of religions, a dying-and-rising god is a deity which dies and is resurrected. Reincarnation is a similar process hypothesized by other religions, which involves the same person or deity coming back to live in a different body, rather than the same one. The resurrection of the dead is a standard eschatological belief in the Abrahamic religions. As a religious concept, it is used in two distinct respects: a belief in the resurrection of individual souls that is current and ongoing ( Christian idealism, realized eschatology), or else a belief in a singular resurrection of the dead at the end of the world. Some believe the soul is the actual vehicle by which people are resurrected. The death and resurrection of Jesus is a central focus of Christianity. Christian theological debate ensues with regard to what kind of resurrection is factual – either a ''spiritual'' resurrection ...
