Literary Nomads

9 May 2025

Sure we can philosophize, but what happens when we put carpe diem to the test in the modern world of capital?

We work through Saul Bellow’s approach to carpe diem, how his ironies may not all be what we expect them to be, what separates Seize the Day from other modernist American literature, and how he spins our ethical discussion on carpe diem with still more complexity. Our analysis will focus on the final mystifying scene of the novel. Oh, and we also talk about my first efforts in business!

Key Terms:

Our Reading & Interpretation Process Complete:

The closing paragraph of Seize the Day which we focus our time on:

“The flowers and lights fused ecstatically in Wilhelm’s blind, wet eyes; the heavy sea-like music came up to his ears. It poured into him where he had hidden himself in the center of a crowd by the great happy oblivion of tears. He heard it and sank deeper than sorrow, through torn sobs and cries toward the consummation of his heart’s ultimate need.”

2 May 2025

Finding carpe diem in art and literature; abandoning “seize the day” and ending in uncertainty.

What is required of us to find the power and meaning in art? in poetry? Is it related to carpe diem? And does it give us any guidance in how to approach meaningful lives?

In a continuation of our carpe diem talk last episode, we return to Roman Krznaric, to Rainer Maria Rilke’s sonnet “Archaic Torso of Apollo,” and consider immanence, a kind of meaningfulness which “seize the day” might never discover.

How far away are we from the original meaning of carpe diem? And does it matter?

Looking back across our wanderings so far, it seems that our literature and culture has gotten fairly sloppy (or cavalier?) in its popular imagination of philosophy, perhaps dangerously so. We investigate those understandings, capturing several modern approaches to carpe diem and contrasting them dramatically to where Epicurus and friends began.

Along the way, we visit Thoreau, Rilke, and contemporary thinker/philosopher Roman Krznaric.

Can some fan-fiction teach us more about carpe diem than a classic Roman poet?

Let’s get over ourselves a bit and give this fan-produced Star Trek episode a chance. How we decide literary quality, how we work with allusion, and how we interpret contemporary texts are all fair game in this episode that finds some surprising depth in the screenwriting in a science fiction literary niche.

Can an ancient Roman poet offer insight into carpe diem?  Perhaps, but then again . . .

Along the way, we talk about Catullus, Horace and his Odes, the translation of “seize the day” vs. “pluck” or “harvest,” a close analysis of Ode 1.11’s imagery and possible subtext, parallels between Horace and Andrew Marvell’s “To His Coy Mistress,” “Seize the Day” and popular imagination, Roman poetic meter and choriambs, a possible Epicurean revision through harvest metaphors, and the sorting of domestic pigs. The Mailbag segment reminds listeners how much material from Waywords is Creative Commons copyright.

“If—” by Rudyard Kipling:

(from ‘Brother Square-Toes’—Rewards and Fairies)

If you can keep your head when all about you
Are losing theirs and blaming it on you,
If you can trust yourself when all men doubt you,
But make allowance for their doubting too;
If you can wait and not be tired by waiting,
Or being lied about, don’t deal in lies,
Or being hated, don’t give way to hating,
And yet don’t look too good, nor talk too wise:

If you can dream—and not make dreams your master;
If you can think—and not make thoughts your aim;
If you can meet with Triumph and Disaster
And treat those two impostors just the same;
If you can bear to hear the truth you’ve spoken
Twisted by knaves to make a trap for fools,
Or watch the things you gave your life to, broken,
And stoop and build ’em up with worn-out tools:

If you can make one heap of all your winnings
And risk it on one turn of pitch-and-toss,
And lose, and start again at your beginnings
And never breathe a word about your loss;
If you can force your heart and nerve and sinew
To serve your turn long after they are gone,
And so hold on when there is nothing in you
Except the Will which says to them: ‘Hold on!’

If you can talk with crowds and keep your virtue,
Or walk with Kings—nor lose the common touch,
If neither foes nor loving friends can hurt you,
If all men count with you, but none too much;
If you can fill the unforgiving minute
With sixty seconds’ worth of distance run,
Yours is the Earth and everything that’s in it,
And—which is more—you’ll be a Man, my son!

The excerpt from Oscar Wilde’s The Picture of Dorian Gray:

He played with the idea and grew wilful; tossed it into the air and transformed it; let it escape and recaptured it; made it iridescent with fancy and winged it with paradox. The praise of folly, as he went on, soared into a philosophy, and philosophy herself became young, and catching the mad music of pleasure, wearing, one might fancy, her wine-stained robe and wreath of ivy, danced like a Bacchante over the hills of life, and mocked the slow Silenus for being sober. Facts fled before her like frightened forest things. Her white feet trod the huge press at which wise Omar sits, till the seething grape-juice rose round her bare limbs in waves of purple bubbles, or crawled in red foam over the vat’s black, dripping, sloping sides. It was an extraordinary improvisation. He felt that the eyes of Dorian Gray were fixed on him, and the consciousness that amongst his audience there was one whose temperament he wished to fascinate seemed to give his wit keenness and to lend colour to his imagination. He was brilliant, fantastic, irresponsible. He charmed his listeners out of themselves, and they followed his pipe, laughing. Dorian Gray never took his gaze off him, but sat like one under a spell, smiles chasing each other over his lips and wonder growing grave in his darkening eyes.

Reasons to embrace uncertainty in our reading practice:

The excerpt from Ralph Ellison’s Invisible Man:

One night, I accidentally bumped into a man, and perhaps because of the near darkness he saw me and called me an insulting name.  I sprang at him, seized his coat lapels and demanded that he apologize.  He was a tall blond man, and as my face came close to his he looked insolently out of his blue eyes and cursed me, his breath hot in my face as he struggled.
