Compromised In Paradise

Stressed out hotel heiress Arden St. Sebastian is in Maui for one thing and one thing only. Work. But when the hottie at the bar buys her a drink to end all frilly umbrella-and-glow stick drinks, she can't help but accept his unspoken invitation. When they get back to her villa, however, and the sexy moment of truth arrives, she can't...quite...get there. Again. ER resident Nick Bancroft can handle a night of fun, anonymous sex, but he draws the line at a fake orgasm. He makes his mystery woman a deal. He'll take care of her little stress-induced orgasm problem if she'll spend the next six days exploring the island with him, no questions asked. A week of island relaxation on the arm of the sexiest man she's ever met? Arden's game. As long as she keeps her identity secret, she's got nothing to lose...except her heart.

Emphasizing the interplay of aesthetic forms and religious modes, Sean Pryor's ambitious study takes up the endlessly reiterated longing for paradise that features throughout the works of W. B. Yeats and Ezra Pound. Yeats and Pound define poetry in terms of paradise and paradise in terms of poetry, Pryor suggests, and these complex interconnections fundamentally shape the development of their art. Even as he maps the shared influences and intellectual interests of Yeats and Pound, and highlights those moments when their poetic theories converge, Pryor's discussion of their poems' profound formal and conceptual differences uncovers the distinctive ways each writer imagines the divine, the good, the beautiful, or the satisfaction of desire. Throughout his study, Pryor argues that Yeats and Pound reconceive the quest for paradise as a quest for a new kind of poetry, a journey that Pryor traces by analysing unpublished manuscript drafts and newly published drafts that have received little attention. For Yeats and Pound, the journey towards a paradisal poetic becomes a never-ending quest, at once self-defeating and self-fulfilling - a formulation that has implications not only for the work of these two poets but for the study of modernist literature.

Big Doors Swing On Small Hinges … In the same way that a big door swings on a much smaller hinge; the choices and decisions one makes in life produce a much larger outcome. The result may be good or it may be bad - it all hinges on your choice... your decision. In the English language the word “but” is small. However, the change it can produce or the outcome it brings can at times be large, exciting, profitable, or destructive. Truly the trajectory on one’s life can be forever altered. This is not only true for our day, it is also lived out many times in the Bible: “But Noah found favor in the eyes of God.” “But Daniel purposed in his heart.” “But Jonah... “ “But Judas... “ “But God... “ These stories and many more are seen in the book, Big Doors Swing on Small Hinges.
