Other - Arts & Humanities - March 2007

I graduated college a few years ago and do not have the time to go back and study the fine arts I wish I had back then. Now when I am at dinner parties and social events, I don't feel that I can hold my own in conversations about great literature and fine art.

My question is: what would you recommend to educate yourself on the fine arts? Perhaps you can recommend a reading list of great literature as well as texts on the great works of art? This is very important to me and I will be very grateful for any input!

I need a short poem (about 12 lines, 3 stanzas long). It doesn't necessarily be rhyming, it just has to convey a message about the bad points of greed. The one who writes the best poem will get his/her answers chosen as the "Best Answer". Please!!!!!!!

Or do you think that it's totally up to individual talent, and it doesn't matter if you go to an expensive or more well-known art school? But to a less-well known, but still excellent in itself!

okay so i got this poem and i need CONSTRUCTIVE critism ONLY :D okay i got this much but im NOT done i have to edit it.

lost in memories of our laughter
making an orchestra of love,


heartbeat to heartbeat, they were one.
the sweet perfection is lost only to be seen in fragments of this shattered heart,


thinking of what could be,
I'm forgotten, and your lost,


need some closure but seeing you makes it an open wound,
some one to kiss them away,
you just always get in the way,
in the search for another a brighter day.

okay maybe its just a little to cliche but what do you think?

I looked at questions like this one, except the results always have books that are out of their copyright date. I was looking for recent young adult books like "sisters of the traveling pants" and "the princess diaries". I am looking for a website where i can read the full book at no cost . Does anyone here know any website where you can do this?

The land of nod is an ingenious place,
Filled with creatures of every race,
As you close your eyes and drift off to sleep,
You’ll see this is where those creatures meet.
Creepy crawling into your dreams,
They’ll snatch at your clothes and rip at your seams.
One might be frightened to see such a sight,
But there are a few that scream with delight.
This place is quiet when no one’s about,
But as you sleep the demons creep out.
On to your bed they’ll bite at your toes,
Gnaw at you fingers and pick at your nose.

Hopelessly restless as you toss in your bed,
These visions will haunt you alone in your head.
Talking to yourself as you stumble about,
You’ll move to the light and try to get out.
No where to go as you’ve traveled too far,
Alas you look up to see the shine of a star.

The star shine’s so intense, as it speaks to the moon;
That you think to yourself, the end will be soon.
“The mourn will be coming” says the star light as day,
“Help this poor child, he must get away”.
“Nothing to do”, the moon shakes his head,
“This man is just lying alone in his bed”.

Visions of monsters too great to be seen,
Are filling your head, and yet you can’t scream.
The fear deep inside is welling about,
And your insides are burning with distrust and doubt.
The smoke screen is clearing and all will be known,
Through the dazzling light all will be shown.
As you run through the darkness with a chill in the air,
You can still feel the spiders swarm through your hair.
Then all of a sudden it becomes clear,
Red as blood the truth does appear.
In echo’s you hear the sounds of the voices
Speaking beyond and because of your choices
Awaken poor soldier, the day starts anew,
When evening comes we’ll be back to get you.

Among the reasons for the rapid and peaceful spread of Islam was the
simplicity of its doctrine-Islam calls for faith in only one God
worthy of worship. It also repeatedly instructs man to use his
powers of intelligence and observation. Within a few years, great
civilizations and universities were flourishing, for according to the
Prophet (pbuh), 'seeking knowledge is an obligation for every Muslim
man and woman'.

The synthesis of Eastern and Western ideas and of new thought with
old, brought about great advances in medicine, mathematics, physics,
astronomy, geography, architecture, art, literature, and history.
Many crucial systems such as algebra, the Arabic numerals, and also
the concept of the zero (vital to the advancement of mathematics),
were transmitted to medieval Europe from Islam. Sophisticated
instruments which were to make possible the European voyages of
discovery were developed, including the astrolabe, the quadrant and
good navigational maps.
