I have a number of the Serendipity paperback books which I believe came out in 1986 or thereabouts, and I bought then for our daughter who was 2 back then. Catherine's Academy is a Catholic school with a military tradition for boys in kindergarten through eighth grade. The books are short stories with colorful illustrations that have a moral perspective. These books have amazing lessons which even children as young as 3 can understand - "Tear down your borders of thicket and vine creating a free world, yours and mine." The books were written by Stephen Cosgrove and illustrated by Robin James. Of course, she then needed other animals to come and help knock the wall down for Mumkin, who did want to get back out and share the Middling Meadow with the other horses again. She then decided that monster Grunk from the Bangalee book would set a trap to lock Mumkin in so she couldn't get out again. While I was reading it the second time, I noticed that she was using her lego blocks to build the high wall surrounded her little plastic pony which she had named Mumkin. She liked them all but she was obsessed with this one.

In the poem, Auden muses upon how, in many old Renaissance paintings, while something grand and momentous is taking place – the Nativity, say, or the Crucifixion – there are always people present in the painting who aren’t much bothered about what’s going on.Īuden then poignantly considers a painting (thought to be) by Peter Brueghel the Elder, of Icarus, and the presence of a ship whose occupants seem unconcerned by ‘a boy falling out of the sky’.Īuden wrote a number of poems about his fellow poets, from A. The museum and art gallery mentioned in the poem’s title, ‘Musée des Beaux Arts’, is the Brussels art gallery, Musées Royaux des Beaux-Arts de Belgique, which Auden visited. Auden wrote ‘Musée des Beaux Arts’ in December 1938, while he was staying in Brussels with his friend Christopher Isherwood. This poem from late 1938 has the memorable opening statement, ‘ About suffering they were never wrong, / The Old Masters’. Who was the real target in this vicious attack? What at first seems cut and dry is anything but: Not only did the judge have more enemies than Decker can count-from violent gang members, drug dealers, and smugglers to a resentful ex-husband-but the bodyguard presents additional conundrums that muddy the waters even further. When Amos Decker is called to South Florida to investigate a double homicide, the case appears straightforward: A federal judge and her bodyguard have been found dead, the judge’s face sporting a blindfold with two eye holes crudely cut out, a clear sign that she’d made one too many enemies over her years on the bench.

In this respect this paper is dedicated to make glimpses on how the author of Mere Christianity proves the idea of “Higher Power” and “Moral Law” in the context of contemporary diversification of views along with the phenomenon of multiculturalism and pluralism of opinions. On the other hand, if people will talk and explain phenomena of the reality in different languages, then there definitely appear conflict situations. One cannot understand such truth without being involved voluntarily in the investigation of those who spent years for this.
