May Sarton Questions & Answers

My teacher gave the title of a poem that we'll have to analyze, and I'd like to read over it, but I can't find it anywhere. It's called "Lady With a Falcon" by May Sarton. Does anyone know where to find it? When I "googled" it, I could only find "Lady With a Falcon on Her Fist" by Richard Lovelace, which is not what I'm looking for.

"Yesterday I was clever. That is why I wanted to change the world. Today I am wise. That is why I am changing myself". I begin to set goals and change myself. But alas.. "The actual arrival at a goal always creates a turmoil unconnected to any previous imaginings." - David Whyte I am defeated once again. So now I am wondering.. "It is time I came back to my real life. After this voyage to an island with no name, where I lay down at sunrise drunk with light." - May Sarton How often do you feel so dejected with life? How often do you feel life is such an unfinished journey? . .

No matter how bad a state of mind you may get into, if you keep strong and hold out, eventually the floating clouds must vanish and the withering winds must cease. Eihei Dogen 1200-1253, Japanese Zen Master, Philosopher, Poet, Painter, Soto School Founder in The Pocket Zen Reader, Thomas Cleary, ed., 1999 Despair is a mental state which exaggerates not only our misery but also our weakness. Marquis de Vauvenargues 1715-1747, French Militarist, Moralist It is despair, and despair alone, that begets heroic hope, absurd hope, mad hope. Miguel de Unamuno 1864-1936, Spanish Philosopher Noble deeds and hot baths are the best cures for depression. Dodie Smith 1896-1990, English Dramatist, Writer I Capture the Castle, 1948 Now that I seem to have attained a temporary calm, I understand how valuable unhappiness can be; melancholy and remorse form the deep leaden keel which enables us to sail into the wind of reality; we run aground sooner than the flat-bottomed pleasure-lovers, but we venture out in weather that would sink them, and we choose our direction. Cyril Connolly The Unquiet Grave, 1944 But the storm, painful as it is, might have had some truth in it. So sometimes one has simply to endure a period of depression for what it may hold of illumination if one can live through it, attentive to what it exposes or demands. ~ May Sarton 1912-1995, American Poet, Writer Journal of a Solitude Distress tends to make you feel constricted in your personal identity, but if you are thinking of the distress of the whole of humanity, or even just the sadness of people around you in your everyday life, you begin to realize how puny your concern for yourself is. Vilayat Khan 1916-2004, Indian-British Sufi Master, Writer Awakening: A Sufi Experience<, 1999 Hopelessness can arise, I think, only from an inability to face the present, to live in the present, to live as a responsible being among other beings in this sacred world here and now, which is all we have, and all we need to found our hope upon. Ursula Le Guin 1929-, American Writer, Critic, Feminist

“There is strong reason to believe that St. Paul fabricated the belief system of Christianity from Zoroastrian mythology. In order to hide Paul’s plaigerism… Christians burned the library of Alexandria in 390 A.D. Books in that library kept Mithra’s original story of what Pauline Doctrine is an almost exact copy. (George Sarton , Introduction to History of Sciences) Paul was supposedly born and raised in the city of Tarsus, a region in SE Asia-Minor (now called Turkey) where Mithra was well known. Biblical scholars are now saying that Paul, the alleged author of 13 out of the 27 (maybe more) books of the New Testament, may have been influenced in his writings by this strong religion of Mithraism. We can see a profound kinship between Mithraism and Christianity. In-as-much as Mithraism was so popular in Rome, it is no wonder why the pagan Emperor Constantine, who believed in the sun god, Mithras, designated a certain day of the week to him, Sunday, which means, “the day of the sun.” The original "Christian" faith became a mix of pagan, Mithramic, Jeudeo/Christian teaching. This lead to the confusing mix of theology that we have today within the "Christian" community. This apostacy from the original simple and plain teachings of Christ was accelerated by the persecutions and killings of any who tried to support the "old" ways. Maybe this solves the mystery of the “ungodly” marriage between Mithraism and the cult of Jesus. As it turns out, it was all for political convenience! But, Christians think they are better than that today. In short: The "Christianity" they have today has almost no relationship, in doctrine or in way of life, to the "the original teachings of Jesus." Did Paul take the life of a beloved rabbi, Yeshua ben Yoseph, and apply the story of Mithra to invent a Christ?
