I found God in my loneliness: She likes a quiet room Before she enters by Rae Sowards (3 Reviews)    Price verified 5 hours ago

I found God in my loneliness: She likes a quiet room Before she enters takes the reader on a poetic pilgrimage of divine truth. Through vivid earthly metaphors, Rae Sowards reminds us that our multifaceted human experience serves as the core catalyst of both self-discovery and cosmic union. When one chooses to love and empathize, one becomes inseparable from Source. When one chooses fear, the more the ego clings to illusory mundane life, convincing itself that's all there is. Ultimately, this poetry collection reminds us that we are souls having a human experience -- one that is brimming magic.

The Aeneid, Book Twelve: Latin Text, with an Introduction and Latin Prose Version and English Summaries (Aeneid Prose Versions 5) by Sean Gabb (Centre for Ancient Studies) Price verified 22 hours ago

This book contains the complete text of Aeneid XII, together with a rendering into Latin prose and a running summary of the whole in English. Its main intended audience is International Baccalaureate students, for whom this is one of the set texts; as well as A-Level Latin students in England, for whom it will be a set text in 2022 and 2023. A larger and less easily defined audience is anyone, in any time or place, who wants to read Vergil, but whose Latin is not ready for the challenge. I have reordered the words in a more obvious sequence. I have replaced many words with more natural alternatives. I have supplied pronouns and verbs and prepositions that could not be fitted into the metrical structure. I have broken up the paragraphs, and formatted the whole as if it were a novel. The advantage is that the result is still Latin. It is Latin that most A-Level and IB students will be able to read without too much looking in a dictionary -- and not too much headscratching thereafter. It is Vergil in a Latin no more difficult than an A-Level unseen. Unlike any English version, it is obviously related to the original, and is a fair key to understanding the original. It also gives students a piece of Latin that they can read at length, and that will be good practice for the unseen translation.

A syllable is a unit of pronunciation, a piece of a word. Each piece is one vowel sound, ignoring the consonants. So, "Lion" has two syllables. "Boom" has one syllable. "Integrity" has four syllables. Now we know what a syllable is the next thing we need to know is the form of a Haiku. A Haiku must only have three lines. Each line has a number of syllables. The first line has FIVE syllables. The second line has SEVEN syllables. The third line also only has FIVE syllables. So a Haiku has a total of only SEVENTEEN syllables. Hooray, we know what a Haiku is, when you finish reading the Haiku Zoo there are some exercises to do at the back and some activities to do with your friends in the classroom.
