3 GREAT WORKS OUTSIDE OF THE USUAL:

1) Daphne and Lois
2) The Golden Ass
3) The Setengan

THE LAST DAY WITH THE META:
  • Madame Defarge from A Tale of Two Cities also knitted
  • from violence to love~ Ovid gets everything
  • "he bit the dust" Homer and Queen
  • the award went to..... Ashley for the best 5 lines about Europa
  • "Europa is now terrified..." is like 13 ways of looking at a Blackbird by Wally Stevens
  • "Something is ending, yet something is beginning too." ~Ashley on the Rape of Europa
  • Europa is stupid because she should have learned from Io, and the she could have prevented her abduction
  • Artists: Pan, Arachne, Cyrx, Daedalus
  • "The only things that make life interesting are the stories" ~ Dr. Sexson
  • Muslims women can't do anything perfect because Allah is the only one who is perfect. If they make something flawless they take out a few stitches to make it flawed.
  • our conscience was created by Shakespeare, therefore by Ovid
  • James Joyce: was educated by Jesuits, which helped him develop his views: "do not judge a book because you find it distasteful..."
  • Oscar Wilde: "There is no such thing as an immoral/ moral book, there are only well written/ badly written books"

TRUE ART GIVES YOU:

  1. wholeness
  2. harmony
  3. radiance

PYGMALION:

everything has a dark side, and you must always ask: What have we gained? And what have we lost?
