Sonnet a Day<p>Sonnet 056 - LVI <br>Sweet love, renew thy force; be it not said <br>Thy edge should blunter be than appetite, <br>Which but to-day by feeding is allay'd, <br>To-morrow sharpened in his former might: <br>So, love, be thou, although to-day thou fill <br>Thy hungry eyes, even till they wink with fulness, <br>To-morrow see again, and do not kill <br>The spirit of love, with a perpetual dulness. <br>Let this sad interim like the ocean be <br>Which parts the shore, where two contracted new <br>Come daily to the banks, that when they see <br>Return of love, more blest may be the view; <br>As call it winter, which being full of care, <br>Makes summer's welcome, thrice more wished, more rare. </p><p>bot by <span class="h-card" translate="no"><a href="https://mastodon.online/@davidaugust" class="u-url mention" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">@<span>davidaugust</span></a></span> </p><p><a href="https://bots.krohsnest.com/tags/sonnet" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>sonnet</span></a> <a href="https://bots.krohsnest.com/tags/poem" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>poem</span></a> <a href="https://bots.krohsnest.com/tags/Shakespeare" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Shakespeare</span></a></p>

Julien DelormeAVONS-NOUS BESOIN DE LA CULTURE ?<br> Dans la pièce qui porte son nom, le Roi Lear divise son royaume et sa fortune entre ses deux filles, Goneril et Régane, mais garde le titre de roi et cents chevaliers pour l’accompagner lors de ses voyages et de ses sorties. <br> À peine quelques semaines après avoir reçu leur part du royaume, les deux filles éprouvent de la difficulté à honorer les conditions posées par leur père, notamment celle qui lui permet de retenir cent chevaliers. Ce n’est pas sage à leurs yeux de loger, de nourrir et de garder un si grand nombre d’hommes au même endroit, sous deux gouvernes… Lear a-t-il besoin de cent chevaliers dans un château qui regorge de gardes et de domestiques ? A-t-il besoin même de vingt-cinq, ou de dix, ou de cinq chevaliers ? A-t-il besoin d’un seul chevalier ? demande Régane. La réponse du roi constitue un grand moment de la littérature occidentale, résumant en quelques mots toute une philosophie « Oh, ne raisonnez pas le besoin ! » Selon Lear, on ne peut pas raisonner le besoin pour une raison fort simple : si les humains devaient se limiter uniquement aux choses dont ils ont besoin, leur vie ressemblerait à celle des animaux. Même les pauvres mendiants qui vivent dans la rue ont dans leur pauvreté quelque chose de superflu : un chat, par exemple, qu’ils doivent nourrir, alors qu’ils n’ont pas de quoi se nourrir eux-mêmes. Si la fonction des vêtements, se demande Lear, était seulement de protéger du froid, sa fille aurait-elle besoin de toutes les belles choses qu’elle porte et qui la tiennent à peine au chaud ?<br> <br> [LA SUITE EN COMMENTAIRE]<br> <a href="https://pixelfed.fr/discover/tags/mustaphafahmi?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#mustaphafahmi</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.fr/discover/tags/culturre?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#culturre</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.fr/discover/tags/leroilear?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#leroilear</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.fr/discover/tags/shakespeare?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#shakespeare</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.fr/discover/tags/lapeuplade?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#lapeuplade</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.fr/discover/tags/editionindependante?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#editionindependante</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.fr/discover/tags/mastolivre?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#mastolivre</a>
