Perhaps the most famous epic poem ever written, the Iliad has been read for nearly 3000 years, making it also one of the oldest written works in the Western world. Although the story covers only a few weeks in the final year of the Trojan War, the poem has made characters like Paris, Helen, Achilles, Hector, and Ajax instantly recognizable. The Iliad and the Odyssey influenced Virgil, whose Aeneid is clearly modeled after them, and every other great poet since.

„Lyrisches Intermezzo“ entstand 1821-22: Der Zyklus hat eine Art Handlung, die vom Mai bis in den Winter reicht. Thematisch umkreisen die Gedichte euphorische Liebesgefühle und enttäuschte Liebeshoffnungen Der Ton ist volksliedhaft leicht, der Wortschatz bewusst einfach, mit gehäuften Diminutiven (Verkleinerungsformen, Verniedlichungen). Gleichzeitig ist ein ironisch-distanzierter Umgang mit den verbrauchten Bildern und Gefühlen der romantischen Liebesweh-Poesie erkennbar.

„Der Brief, den du geschrieben, er macht mich gar nicht bang; du willst mich nicht mehr lieben, aber Dein Brief ist lang. Zwölf Seiten, eng und zierlich! Ein kleines Manuskript! Man schreibt nicht so ausführlich, wenn man den Abschied gibt.” Heinrich Heine, 1797 in Düsseldorf geboren, gest. 1856 in Paris, wo er seit 1831 lebte; einer der Hauptvertreter des Jungen Deutschland. In spätromantischen Gedichten verbindet er Empfindungsreichtum mit Skepsis und Ironie („Buch der Lieder“ 1827; „Romanzero“ 1851). Sein geistvoller und plaudernder Prosastil („Reisebilder“ 1826 bis 1831) machte ihn zum Begründer des modernen Feuilletonismus.

In Tell Me Another Story, Marucci examines those closest to her—her grandfather, nephew, and husband—as well as those she hardly knows—the women sitting at the next table in the diner; the roofer she meets on the train. Part 1: Me, is comprised of Emmy's own story—raw and personal—while Part 2: You tells the stories of others. With genuine curiosity and tenderness, Marucci asks of herself, her loved ones, and perfect strangers the child's perennial question: "Will you tell me a story?"

Code of conduct. Good qualities in me you will find as you explore my body….and my mind. Should you like what you see, then tell it to others…. Sing praises of me In halls and corridors. But if faults are what you see in me, please, my love…tell it first to me.

In a distant, timeless place, a mysterious prophet walks the sands. At the moment of his departure, he wishes to offer the people gifts but possesses nothing. The people gather round, each asks a question of the heart, and the man's wisdom is his gift. It is Gibran's gift to us, as well, for Gibran's prophet is rivaled in his wisdom only by the founders of the world's great religions. On the most basic topics - marriage, children, friendship, work, pleasure - his words have a power and lucidity that in another era would surely have provoked the description "divinely inspired".
