Bonjour à tous and welcome to Easy French Poetry where I read some of the most Classic French Poems. I will read them twice: once slowly - so you may repeat after me - and once at a more natural reading pace. I will sometimes also talk about the life of the author, explain the vocabulary or do an an...

Ce poème est écrit en Alexandrins, donc le rythme est très important,...

"Spleen" de Charles Baudelaire

À l'écart du mouvement surréaliste, la poésie de Supervielle est humaine, souvent inspirée par le monde qui nous entourre et la nature.

"Dans la Forêt Sans Heures" de Jules Supervielle

Poète et théoricien de l'Esprit nouveau, ses oeuvres annoncent déjà surréalisme. Dans ce poème, la femme est associée à une fleur des champs, la colchique. Mais la colchique est vénéneuse, c'est donc un poison...

"Les Colchiques" de Guillaume Appollinaire

Paul Valéry croit que la poésie possède un pouvoir émotionnel qui peut être presque magique...

"L'Abeille" de Paul Valéry

Au milieu d’une rue étourdissante,  le poète croise du regard  une femme qui passe et il est  ébloui par sa beauté et sa noblesse.  Quand elle disparaît tout à coup dans la foule, il devient découragé....

"À Une Passante" de Charles Baudelaire

On this episode, the gang takes a patreon request and covers one of their first indie books, Kaijumax by Zander Cannon and published by Oni Press -  a gruesome tale of giant monsters in a maximum security prison.

Darryl remains in shock at the events in this book, Sly has NO SYMPATHY for one-note debtors, and Ryan really hates the prison system (both real and imaginary) and Phil just wants to watch Pacific Rim again.

 Phil's had enough of troubled kids with a heart of gold, Darryl knows who the REAL Santa is, Ryan has more knowledge about tigers in business suits than one might think, and Sly's argues that Superman's outlook is for babies and Black Adam's is for big boys.

Chapter 05 Jane Eyre by Charlotte Brontë

There are many textual variants found among the manuscripts of the Greek New Testament.  Some are easily solvable while others are a bit more problematic.  In this collection, Dr. Daniel B. Wallace of the Center for the Study of New Testament Manuscripts (CSNTM) discusses the instances where the dis...

Textual variants have had an influence upon Christian doctrine.  Dr. Daniel B. Wallace of the Center for the Study of New Testament Manuscripts (CSNTM) discusses the impact of the variants that are both viable and meaningful to our understanding of a passage. Some texts are discussed – such as John 7:53–8:11 – where the importance may not be so much doctrinal as emotional.

What Christian Beliefs are Based on Textually Dubious Passages

Dr. Daniel B. Wallace of the Center for the Study of New Testament Manuscripts (CSNTM) applies the methodology of textual criticism (NTTC) to a controversial passage, Matthew 24:36. Though the passage is often used to support the claim that parts of the New Testament were edited by proto-orthodox scribes, the evidence seems to indicate that it was the evangelist himself who created the variant.

Did the Son of God Deny His Own Omniscience A Look at Matthew 24'36

The story of the woman caught in adultery found traditionally in John 7:53-8:11 is one the most beloved and well-known stories from the Christian tradition. Many would go so far as to claim that these verses are their favorite in all of the Bible. However, in light of their popular embrace, Dr. Daniel B. Wallace of the Center for the Study of New Testament Manuscripts (CSNTM) shows how the evidence is almost overwhelming that these verses were not originally included in John's gospel. Strangely enough, the verses still remain in almost all of the modern English translations. Dr. Wallace gives reasons why they remain, and conversely, why they ought to be relegated to a footnote instead.

My Favorite Passage That's Not in the Bible

In 1 John 5:7, there is a debated Trinitarian formula which proponents of KJV-only defend as original. But if Erasmus did not promise to include the formula, known to textual critics as the Comma Johanneum, does that mean the Trinitarian formula is closer to the original text? Bill Brown for the Center of the Study of New Testament Manuscripsts (CSNTM) suggests that the evidence from the manuscripts argues for an original text that does not include the Comma.

Does the Lack of an Erasmian Promise Vindicate 1 John 5'7

An audio presentation from Dr. Daniel B. Wallace of the Center for the Study of New Testament Manuscripts (CSNTM). Here Dr. Wallace discusses the qualities and criteria that must exist in manuscripts if we were to identify them as original manuscripts of the New Testament.

Ellery Queen's Mystery Magazine's Fiction Podcast

Thought-Speak is a nostalgia podcast dedicated to two grown men diving back into the books of their childhood and seeing what holds up. Hosted by Mitchell Olson and Coleman McClung.

This Speak: What if the Animorphs series had done a Christmas special? Would the Animorphs meet Santa Clause? What do the Yeerks do on Christmas? Will the kids get to enjoy their Christmas break? It's questions like these that keep us up at night... but not anymore! Hosts Mitchell and Coleman have created, in their minds, the perfect Animorphs Christmas-themed stories. Reindeer morphing? Santa-like aliens? Tender moments between Jake and Cassie? We've got it all! Pull up a chair by the fire and crack open the egg-nog, because when the episode is over you'll be wishing these books were real! All that and more on Thought-Speak's: A Very Animorphs Christmas!Continue readingA Very Animorphs Christmas!

A Very Animorphs Christmas!

This speak: Cassie just boarded the wrong plane... During a scuffle with the Yeerks at the airport, Cassie is separated from the others and pursued by scores of controllers. She manages to elude them, temporarily, by hiding out on a departing plane. But things rarely go as planned for our team of teenage heroes, and Cassie winds up in the Australian outback! Totally cut off from her friends! Miles from the nearest trace of civilization! And still being pursued by Yeerks! How will she escape her enemies? How will she get back to her homeland? And most importantly; how did the writer manage to screw up such an interesting premise?? All that and more as we review Animorphs book 44: The Unexpected.Continue readingAnimorphs: The Unexpected

Animorphs: The Unexpected

This speak: Tobias is in over his head - again! After helping to locate a missing child in the woods, Tobias ends up in a vet's office with no way out! And it's the Yeerks that get to him first, headed up by his old nemesis Taylor. The one-time Sub-Visser claims to be helping the Yeerk Peace Movement progress, but she needs something from Tobias and the rest of the Andalite bandits (also Ax) to make her plan work. The team decides to play along and help her tunnel underneath the Yeerk pool in order to make it all go BOOM! but something doesn't feel quite right. Tobias can't shake the feeling that Taylor can't be trusted, on account of that whole torture episode, and the fact that she's pretty noticeably cray-cray. Can the team handle Taxxon morph? Can Taylor be trusted? All that and more as we review Animorphs book 43: The Test.Continue readingAnimorphs: The Test

Animorphs: The Test

This speak: Marco's got all sorts of problems! First, there's this camera he's got to snatch from some dude's apartment that just might have some pics of the team in mid-morph... The only thing standing in his way is one. Tough. Dog. That, and he can't morph. Why not? Because of all the shrunken-down Helmacrons and Animorphs (and Ax's!) inside his body! Huh-whaaa? That's right, the Helmacrons are back, and the rules don't matter anymore! Will Marco ever get the little people out of his head and find a way to delete those potentially-disastrous pix?? Find out when we review Animorphs book 42: The Journey.Continue readingAnimorphs: The Journey

Animorphs: The Journey

This speak: Jake is having a tough time being leader of the Animorphs (and the leader of Ax). After yet another gut-wrenching battle with the Yeerks, the team is fragmented and tormented and looking to Jake for guidance, but ol Jakey's not in the mood. Lucky for him, when he goes to bed that night he wakes up in a world where he's not the leader of the Animorphs anymore! BUT the world is ruled by the Yeerks and the Animorphs have long-since been defeated. Ruh-roh! Join Jake, alone and confused, as he navigates a hellish future-Earth that's been dominated by the Yeerks, discovers which of his friends are still alive....and which ones have become controllers... All in an effort to return to the past and abort this nightmare reality. But is there a way for Jake to return to the life he knows and continue the fight? Well there's like more than ten books left in the series, so I sure hope so! All that and more when we review Animorphs book 41: The Familiar.Continue readingAnimorphs: The Familiar
