Literature, Music–& Understanding Ourselves!

SATURDAY JULY 15, 2017, at 8:00 PM: come to a Dramatic Presentation of Aesthetic Realism, titled:
Literature, Music—& Understanding Ourselves!

Featured at this event will be a dramatic reading of poet and critic Eli Siegel’s wonderful, deep lecture:
“Daisy Miller: Henry James Himself” which includes this quote:

“When we see that James had the problem of being open and secret—as everybody has—and what a time it caused him, and how much art he made of it, we see how the problem interested him.”

And–
“What Does He Appeal to—Your Vanity or Pride?”
Reenactment of an Aesthetic Realism Lesson
Eli Siegel: “At any one time there is an appeal made to our strength or weakness. Most often it is very faint; but the closer we are to a person, the more this appeal becomes deep and important.”

And–

‘Greatness in Music: The Marseillaise’ by Martha Baird
“The struggle of humanity is in those notes; and if you don’t feel the struggle, you don’t feel the triumph.”
