Ecclesiastes
Ecclesiastes is presented as an autobiography of `` Kohelet '' ( or `` Qoheleth '' , meaning `` Assembler '' , but traditionally translated as `` Teacher '' or `` Preacher '' ) . Kohelet 's story is framed by voice of the narrator , who refers to Kohelet in the third person , praises his wisdom , but reminds the reader that wisdom has its limitations and is not man 's main concern . Kohelet reports what he planned , did , experienced and thought . His journey to knowledge is , in the end , incomplete . The reader is not only to hear Kohelet 's wisdom , but to observe his journey towards understanding and acceptance of life 's frustrations and uncertainties : the journey itself is important .
Enoch (ancestor of Noah)
In Islam , Enoch ( Arabic : ‎ ‎ ʼAkhnūkh أَخْنُوخ , ( commonly in Islamic literature ) : ʼIdrīs إِِدْرِيس ) ) is identified with Idris , as for example by the History of Al - Tabari intrepretation and the Meadows of Gold . The Quran contains two references to Idris ; in Surah Al - Anbiya ( The Prophets ) verse number 85 , and in Surah Maryam ( Mary ) verses 56 - 57 :
Ecclesiastes
Ecclesiastes has taken its literary form from the Middle Eastern tradition of the fictional autobiography , in which a character , often a king , relates his experiences and draws lessons from them , often self - critical : Kohelet likewise identifies himself as a king , speaks of his search for wisdom , relates his conclusions , and recognises his limitations . It belongs to the category of wisdom literature , the body of biblical writings which give advice on life , together with reflections on its problems and meanings -- other examples include the Book of Job , Proverbs , and some of the Psalms . Ecclesiastes differs from the other biblical Wisdom books in being deeply skeptical of the usefulness of Wisdom itself . Ecclesiastes in turn influenced the deuterocanonical works , Wisdom of Solomon and Sirach , both of which contain vocal rejections of the Ecclesiastical philosophy of futility .
The Giver
The story has been told before in a variety of forms -- Ray Bradbury 's Fahrenheit 451 comes to mind -- but not , to my knowledge , for children . It 's well worth telling , especially by a writer of Lowry 's great skill . If it is exceedingly fragile -- if , in other words , some situations do not survive that well - known suspension of disbelief -- well , so be it . The Giver has things to say that can not be said too often , and I hope there will be many , many young people who will be willing to listen .
New Testament
In attempting to determine the original text of the New Testament books , some modern textual critics have identified sections as additions of material , centuries after the gospel was written . These are called interpolations . In modern translations of the Bible , the results of textual criticism have led to certain verses , words and phrases being left out or marked as not original . According to Bart D. Ehrman , `` These scribal additions are often found in late medieval manuscripts of the New Testament , but not in the manuscripts of the earlier centuries . ''
Book of Lamentations
The Book of Lamentations ( Hebrew : אֵיכָה ‬ , ' Êykhôh , from its incipit meaning `` how '' ) is a collection of poetic laments for the destruction of Jerusalem . In the Hebrew Bible it appears in the Ketuvim ( `` Writings '' ) , beside the Song of Songs , Book of Ruth , Ecclesiastes and the Book of Esther ( the Megilloth or `` Five Scrolls '' ) , although there is no set order ; in the Christian Old Testament it follows the Book of Jeremiah , as the prophet Jeremiah is its traditional author . Jeremiah 's authorship is no longer generally accepted , although it is generally accepted that the destruction of Jerusalem by Babylon in 586 BC forms the background to the poems . The book is partly a traditional `` city lament '' mourning the desertion of the city by God , its destruction , and the ultimate return of the divinity , and partly a funeral dirge in which the bereaved bewails and addresses the dead . The tone is bleak : God does not speak , the degree of suffering is presented as undeserved , and expectations of future redemption are minimal .
Book of Enoch
Apocalypse of Weeks ( 93 : 1 -- 10 , 91 : 11 -- 17 ) : this subsection , usually dated to the first half of the 2nd century BC , narrates the history of the world using a structure of ten periods ( said `` weeks '' ) , of which seven regard the past and three regard future events ( the final judgment ) . The climax is in the seventh part of the tenth week where `` new heaven shall appear '' and `` there will be many weeks without number for ever , and all shall be in goodness and righteousness '' . Exhortation ( 91 : 1 -- 10 , 91 : 18 -- 19 ) : this short list of exhortations to follow righteousness , said by Enoch to his son Methuselah , looks to be a bridge to next subsection . Epistle ( 92 : 1 -- 5 , 93 : 11 -- 105 : 2 ) : the first part of the epistle describes the wisdom of the Lord , the final reward of the just and the punishment of the evil , and the two separate paths of righteousness and unrighteousness . Then there are six oracles against the sinners , the witness of the whole creation against them , and the assurance of the fate after death . According to Boccaccini the epistle is composed of two layers : a `` proto - epistle '' , with a theology near the deterministic doctrine of the Qumran group , and a slightly later part ( 94 : 4 -- 104 : 6 ) that points out the personal responsibility of the individual , often describing the sinners as the wealthy and the just as the oppressed ( a theme found also in the Book of Parables ) . Birth of Noah ( 106 -- 107 ) : this part appears in Qumran fragments separated from the previous text by a blank line , thus appearing to be an appendix . It tells of the deluge and of Noah , who is born already with the appearance of an angel . This text probably derives , as do other small portions of 1 Enoch , from an originally separate book ( see Book of Noah ) , but was arranged by the redactor as direct speech of Enoch himself . Conclusion ( 108 ) : this second appendix was not found in Qumran and is considered to be the work of the final redactor . It highlights the `` generation of light '' in opposition to the sinners destined to the darkness .
Trinity
Expressions also in the Pauline epistles have been interpreted as attributing divinity to Jesus . They include : `` For by him all things were created : things in heaven and on earth , visible and invisible , whether thrones or powers or rulers or authorities ; all things were created by him and for him '' and `` For in Christ all the fullness of the Deity lives in bodily form '' , and in Paul the Apostle 's claim to have been `` sent not from men nor by man , but by Jesus Christ and God the Father '' .
Encyclopédie
Like most encyclopedias , the Encyclopédie attempted to collect and summarize human knowledge in a variety of fields and topics , ranging from philosophy to theology to science and the arts . The Encyclopédie was controversial for reorganizing knowledge based on human reason instead of by nature or theology . Knowledge and intellect branched from the three categories of human thought , whereas all other perceived aspects of knowledge , including theology , were simply branches or components of these man made categories . The introduction to the Encyclopédie , D'Alembert's `` Preliminary Discourse '' , is considered an important exposition of Enlightenment ideals . Among other things , it presents a taxonomy of human knowledge ( see Fig. 3 ) , which was inspired by Francis Bacon 's The Advancement of Learning . The three main branches of knowledge are : `` Memory '' / History , `` Reason '' / Philosophy , and `` Imagination '' / Poetry . This tree of knowledge was created to help readers evaluate the usefulness of the content within the Encyclopédie , and to organize its content . Notable is the fact that theology is ordered under `` Philosophy '' and that `` Knowledge of God '' is only a few nodes away from `` Divination '' and `` Black Magic '' .
Ode to the West Wind
The second canto of the poem is much more fluid than the first one . The sky 's `` clouds '' ( 16 ) are `` like earth 's decaying leaves '' ( 16 ) . They are a reference to the second line of the first canto ( `` leaves dead '' , 2 ). They also are numerous in number like the dead leaves . Through this reference the landscape is recalled again . The `` clouds '' ( 16 ) are `` Shook from the tangled boughs of Heaven and Ocean '' ( 17 ) . This probably refers to the fact that the line between the sky and the stormy sea is indistinguishable and the whole space from the horizon to the zenith is covered with trailing storm clouds . The `` clouds '' can also be seen as `` Angels of rain '' ( 18 ) . In a biblical way , they may be messengers that bring a message from heaven down to earth through rain and lightning . These two natural phenomena with their `` fertilizing and illuminating power '' bring a change .
E. E. Cummings
Santa Claus : A Morality was probably Cummings 's most successful play . It is an allegorical Christmas fantasy presented in one act of five scenes . The play was inspired by his daughter Nancy , with whom he was reunited in 1946 . It was first published in the Harvard College magazine , Wake . The play 's main characters are Santa Claus , his family ( Woman and Child ) , Death , and Mob . At the outset of the play , Santa Claus 's family has disintegrated due to their lust for knowledge ( Science ) . After a series of events , however , Santa Claus 's faith in love and his rejection of the materialism and disappointment he associates with Science are reaffirmed , and he is reunited with Woman and Child .
Book of Revelation
The book spans three literary genres : the epistolary , the apocalyptic , and the prophetic . It begins with John , on the island of Patmos in the Aegean , addressing a letter to the `` Seven Churches of Asia '' . He then describes a series of prophetic visions , including figures such as the Whore of Babylon and the Beast , culminating in the Second Coming of Jesus .
Adam and Eve
The Adam and Eve story continues in Genesis 3 with the `` expulsion from Eden '' narrative . A form analysis of Genesis 3 reveals that this portion of the story can be characterized as a parable or `` wisdom tale '' in the wisdom tradition . The poetic addresses of the chapter belong to a speculative type of wisdom that questions the paradoxes and harsh realities of life . This characterization is determined by the narrative 's format , settings , and the plot . The form of Genesis 3 is also shaped by its vocabulary , making use of various puns and double entendres .
Gethsemane
All of the foregoing is based on long - held tradition and the conflating of the synoptic accounts of Mark ( 14 : 31 ) and Matthew ( 26 : 36 ) with the Johannine account ( John 18 : 1 ) . Mark and Matthew record that Jesus went to `` a place called the oil press ( Gethsemane ) '' and John states he went to a garden near the Kidron Valley . Modern scholarship acknowledges that the exact location of Gethsemane is unknown .
Waltzing Matilda
Current variations of the third line of the first verse are `` And he sang as he sat and waited by the billabong '' or `` And he sang as he watched and waited till his billy boiled '' . Another variation is that the third line of each chorus is kept unchanged from the first chorus , or is changed to the third line of the preceding verse .
Glory (religion)
In his dissertation `` Concerning the End for which God Created the World '' , Jonathan Edwards concludes , `` ( I ) t appears that all that is ever spoken of in the Scripture as an ultimate end of God 's works is included in that one phrase , ` the glory of God ' . ''
Book of Revelation
Latter - day revelation through the Prophet Joseph Smith contained in the Doctrine and Covenants , section 77 , postulates answers to specific questions regarding the symbolism contained in the Book of Revelation . Topics include : the sea of glass , the four beasts and their appearance , the 24 elders , the book with seven seals , certain angels , the sealing of the 144,000 , the little book eaten by John , and the two witnesses in Chapter 11 .
The Raven
Poe wrote the poem as a narrative , without intentional allegory or didacticism . The main theme of the poem is one of undying devotion . The narrator experiences a perverse conflict between desire to forget and desire to remember . He seems to get some pleasure from focusing on loss . The narrator assumes that the word `` Nevermore '' is the raven 's `` only stock and store '' , and , yet , he continues to ask it questions , knowing what the answer will be . His questions , then , are purposely self - deprecating and further incite his feelings of loss . Poe leaves it unclear if the raven actually knows what it is saying or if it really intends to cause a reaction in the poem 's narrator . The narrator begins as `` weak and weary , '' becomes regretful and grief - stricken , before passing into a frenzy and , finally , madness . Christopher F.S. Maligec suggests the poem is a type of elegiac paraclausithyron , an ancient Greek and Roman poetic form consisting of the lament of an excluded , locked - out lover at the sealed door of his beloved .
Mary, Mary, Quite Contrary
Like many nursery rhymes , it has acquired various historical explanations . These include :
The Raven
Poe claimed to have written the poem logically and methodically , intending to create a poem that would appeal to both critical and popular tastes , as he explained in his 1846 follow - up essay , `` The Philosophy of Composition '' . The poem was inspired in part by a talking raven in the novel Barnaby Rudge : A Tale of the Riots of ' Eighty by Charles Dickens . Poe borrows the complex rhythm and meter of Elizabeth Barrett 's poem `` Lady Geraldine 's Courtship '' , and makes use of internal rhyme as well as alliteration throughout .
Glory (religion)
To glorify God is to have wonderment and integration with the universe , as a child is experiencing a universe that is singing with the child : `` We did indeed bestow on David favor from Us : O mountains , and birds , sing the glory of God along with him . and we softened iron for him '' ( Quran 34 : 10 ) . To glorify God is to have the heart that stands in wonderment seeing that for God everything is possible through means or without means : `` Glory to Him who journeyed His devotee by night , from the Sacred Mosque to the Farthest Mosque , whose precincts We blessed , so We might show him some of Our wonders . For He is the all - hearing , the all - seeing '' ( Quran 17 : 1 ) . To glorify God is to view God as impeccable ; that is to cleanse bad thoughts that you have about God : `` Then the whale swallowed him , and he was blameworthy . If not for the fact that he was one who glorified God , he would have remained inside its guts until the day they are resurrected '' ( Quran 37 : 142 - 144 ) . To glorify God is to free one 's mind from constrained conceptions that you have about God without knowledge : `` Yet they considered sprites partners to God , though God created them ; and they falsely attribute sons and daughters to God , without knowledge . Glory be to God , exalted beyond what they describe '' ( Quran 6 : 100 ) .
Waiting for Godot
Other explicit Christian elements that were mentioned in the play include , but not limited to , repentance , the Gospels , a Saviour , human beings made in God 's image , the cross , and Cain and Abel .
Goldilocks and the Three Bears
The `` Story of the Three Bears '' is a very old Nursery Tale , but it was never so well told as by the great poet Southey , whose version I have ( with permission ) given you , only I have made the intruder a little girl instead of an old woman . This I did because I found that the tale is better known with Silver - Hair , and because there are so many other stories of old women .
Dodo
The poet Hilaire Belloc included the following poem about the dodo in his Bad Child 's Book of Beasts from 1896 :
Mary Had a Little Lamb
As a young girl , Mary Sawyer ( later Mary Tyler ) kept a pet lamb that she took to school one day at the suggestion of her brother . A commotion naturally ensued . Mary recalled : `` Visiting school that morning was a young man by the name of John Roulstone , a nephew of the Reverend Lemuel Capen , who was then settled in Sterling . It was the custom then for students to prepare for college with ministers , and for this purpose Roulstone was studying with his uncle . The young man was very much pleased with the incident of the lamb ; and the next day he rode across the fields on horseback to the little old schoolhouse and handed me a slip of paper which had written upon it the three original stanzas of the poem ... ''
Agatha Christie
Evil Under the Sun from Ecclesiastes 5 : 13 ( and restated in 6 : 1 ) : `` There is a sore evil which I have seen under the sun , namely , riches kept for the owners thereof to their hurt '' . The Burden from Jesus ' words : `` Take my yoke upon you , and learn of me ... For my yoke is easy , and my burden is light . '' ( Matthew : 11 : 29 -- 30 ) . The Pale Horse from the Revelation of St John ( 6 : 8 ) : `` I looked , and there before me was a pale horse ! Its rider was named Death ... '' .
It (novel)
The novel is told through narratives alternating between two periods , and is largely told in the third - person omniscient mode . It deals with themes that eventually became King staples : the power of memory , childhood trauma and its recurrent echoes in adulthood , the ugliness lurking behind a façade of small - town quaintness , and overcoming evil through mutual trust and sacrifice .
Chartism
Between late 1844 and November 1845 , subscriptions were raised for the publication of a hymn book which was apparently printed as a 64 - page pamphlet and distributed for a nominal fee , although no known copy is thought to remain . In 2011 , a previously unknown and uncatalogued smaller pamphlet of 16 hymns was discovered in Todmorden Library in the North of England . This is believed to be the only Chartist Hymnal in existence . Heavily influenced by dissenting Christians , the hymns are about social justice , `` striking down evil doers '' , and blessing Chartist enterprises , rather than the conventional themes of crucifixion , heaven , and family . Rather than the crucifixion or Christ 's glory , the focus of the hymns is a cry for liberty . Some of the hymns protested against the exploitation of child labour and slavery . Another of the hymns proclaimed : `` Men of wealth and men of power / Like locusts all thy gifts devour '' . Two of the hymns celebrate the martyrs of the movement . `` Great God ! Is this the Patriot 's Doom ? '' was composed for the funeral of Samuel Holberry , the Sheffield Chartist leader , who died in prison in 1843 , while another honours John Frost , Zephaniah Williams , and William Jones , the Chartist leaders transported to Tasmania in the aftermath of the Newport rising of 1839 .
Trinity
There are also a few possible biblical supports for the divinity of Jesus found in the Synoptic Gospels . The Gospel of Matthew , for example , quotes Jesus as saying , `` All things have been handed over to me by my Father . '' This is similar to John , who wrote that Jesus said , `` All that the Father has is mine . '' These verses have been quoted to defend the omnipotence of Christ , having all power , as well as the omniscience of Christ , having all wisdom .
The Twelve Days of Christmas (song)
The second to fourth verses ' melody is different from that of the fifth to twelfth verses . Before the fifth verse ( when `` five gold ( en ) rings '' is first sung ) , the melody , using solfege , is `` sol re mi fa re '' for the fourth to second items , and this same melody is thereafter sung for the twelfth to sixth items . However , the melody for `` four colly birds , three French hens , two turtle doves '' changes from this point , differing from the way these lines were sung in the opening four verses .
Child care
Plato , according to Elaine Hoffman Baruch , around 394 B.C. , argued that a system of child care would free women to participate in society . Among the early English authors to devote a book to child care in the modern sense was Elizabeth Dawbarn ( The Rights of Infants , or ... Nursing of Infants , 1805 ) . Day care , daycare , child day care , or childcare is the care of a child during the day by a person other than the child 's legal guardians , typically performed by someone outside the child 's immediate family . Day care is typically an ongoing service during specific periods , such as the parents ' time at work .
Apple of my eye
Deuteronomy 32 : 10 : `` He found him in a desert land , and in the waste howling wilderness ; he led him about , he instructed him , he kept him as the apple of his eye '' . Psalms 17 : 8 : `` Keep me as the apple of the eye , hide me under the shadow of thy wings '' . Proverbs 7 : 2 : `` Keep my commandments , and live ; and my law as the apple of thine eye '' . Lamentations 2 : 18 : `` Their heart cried unto the Lord , O wall of the daughter of Zion , let tears run down like a river day and night : give thyself no rest ; let not the apple of thine eye cease '' . Zechariah 2 : 8 : `` For thus saith the LORD of hosts ; After the glory hath he sent me unto the nations which spoiled you : for he that toucheth you toucheth the apple of his eye '' .

The Tyger
Tyger Tyger , burning bright , In the forests of the night ; What immortal hand or eye , Could frame thy fearful symmetry ? In what distant deeps or skies , Burnt the fire of thine eyes ? On what wings dare he aspire ? What the hand , dare seize the fire ? And what shoulder , & what art , Could twist the sinews of thy heart ? And when thy heart began to beat , What dread hand ? & what dread feet ? What the hammer ? what the chain , In what furnace was thy brain ? What the anvil ? what dread grasp , Dare its deadly terrors clasp ! When the stars threw down their spears And water 'd heaven with their tears : Did he smile his work to see ? Did he who made the Lamb make thee ? Tyger Tyger burning bright , In the forests of the night : What immortal hand or eye , Dare frame thy fearful symmetry ?
Mary Had a Little Lamb
The rhyme was the first audio recorded by Thomas Edison on his newly invented phonograph in 1877 . It was the first instance of recorded verse . In 1927 , Edison reenacted the recording , which still survives . The earliest recording ( 1878 ) was retrieved by 3D imaging equipment in 2012 .
