To admit\nthat you held the world at all?\n\n\n\n\nMock Orange By Louise Glück\n  \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nIt is not the moon\, I tell you.\nIt is these flowers\nlighting the yard.\n\nI hate them.\nI hate them as I hate sex\,\nthe man’s mouth\nsealing my mouth\, the man’s\nparalyzing body—\n\nand the cry that always escapes\,\nthe low\, humiliating\npremise of union—\n\nIn my mind tonight\nI hear the question and pursuing answer\nfused in one sound\nthat mounts and mounts and then\nis split into the old selves\,\nthe tired antagonisms. Do you see?\nWe were made fools of.\nAnd the scent of mock orange\ndrifts through the window.\n\nHow can I rest?\nHow can I be content\nwhen there is still\nthat odor in the world?\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nCascando by Samuel Beckett\n1 \n\nwhy not merely the despaired of\noccasion of\nwordshedis it not better abort than be barrenthe hours after you are gone are so leaden\nthey will always start dragging too soon\nthe grapples clawing blindly the bed of want\nbringing up the bones the old loves\nsockets filled once with eyes like yours\nall always is it better too soon than never\nthe black want splashing their faces\nsaying again nine days never floated the loved\nnor nine months\nnor nine lives \n2 \nsaying again\nif you do not teach me I shall not learn\nsaying again there is a last\neven of last times\nlast times of begging\nlast times of loving\nof knowing not knowing pretending\na last even of last times of saying\nif you do not love me I shall not be loved\nif I do not love you I shall not love \nthe churn of stale words in the heart again\nlove love love thud of the old plunger\npestling the unalterable\nwhey of words \nterrified again\nof not loving\nof loving and not you\nof being loved and not by you\nof knowing not knowing pretending\npretending \nI and all the others that will love you\nif they love you \n3 \nunless they love you \n\n\n\n\nMarina Tsvetaeva\nYou walk\, somewhat like myself…\nYou walk\, somewhat like myself\,\nHunched\, and not looking up.\nI used to lower my eyes as well!\nStop here\, passerby\, stop!Having gathered your flowers in a\nBouquet\, read the stone by the gate —\nIt will say I was named Marina\,\nAnd I lived to the following date.It’s a grave\, but don’t treat it as such\,\nMy spirit won’t rise to haunt you…\nI\, myself\, loved laughing too much\nWhenever I wasn’t supposed to!My hair was once curled and twisted\nAnd blood used to rush to my face.\nHey\, passerby\, I also existed!\nHey\, passerby\, slow your pace!Stop here and pluck a wild stem\nAnd after that — pick this berry:\nNo berries are sweeter than\nThe ones from a cemetery.Only don’t stand there sighing\,\nAnd please do not hang your head.\nBut rather think of me lightly\nAnd afterward\, likewise\, forget.How the sun shines down upon you!\nIts rays set the dust aglow.\nAnd don’t let my voice disturb you\nAnd vex you from down below. \n\n\nto lean back into it by Charles Bukowski\n  \n\n\nlike in a chair the color of the sun\nas you listen to lazy piano music\nand the aircraft overhead are not\nat war.\nwhere the last drink is as good as\nthe first\nand you realize that the promises\nyou made yourself were\nkept.\nthat’s plenty.\nthat last: about the promises:\nwhat’s not so good is that the few\nfriends you had are\ndead and they seem\nirreplacable.\nas for women\, you didn’t know enough\nearly enough\nand you knew enough\ntoo late.\nand if more self-analysis is allowed: it’s\nnice that you turned out well-\nhoned\,\nthat you arrived late\nand remained generally\ncapable.\noutside of that\, not much to say\nexcept you can leave without\nregret.\nuntil then\, a bit more amusement\,\na bit more endurance\,\nleaning back\ninto it.\nlike the dog who got across\nthe busy street:\nnot all of it was good\nluck.\n\n

SUMMARY:Eyal Poleg – The Great Bible as a Useless Book
DESCRIPTION:V dubnu vystoupí se svým příspěvkem v rámci cyklu Staročeský dýchánek Eyal Poleg (Queen Mary University of London). Přednášku v angličtině můžete vyslechnout 7. 4. 2026 od 17 hodin v dolním sále pražské budovy Ústavu pro českou literaturu AV ČR (Na Florenci 3\, Praha 1)\, vstup je zdarma a bez registrace. \nAnotace:The Great Bible (1538/9) is often seen as a monument of reform and authority in Tudor England. A detailed study of dozens of surviving books and manuscripts\, at times using scientific technologies\, will reveal hesitations and tensions in its creation and reception. Despite being mandated for each parish church in the realm\, the Great Bible was incompatible with Church liturgy\, making it a contested book which was required to be displayed but illegal to be read by most parishioners.

SUMMARY:Things Fall Apart by Chinua Achebe
DESCRIPTION:We usually discuss and arrange details in whatsapp – if you would like to join please message Lydia Titterington or email Pragie Literary Calendar contact@pragueliterarycalendar.com\, and we can send you the link to join. \nA simple story of a “strong man” whose life is dominated by fear and anger\, Things Fall Apart is written with remarkable economy and subtle irony. Uniquely and richly African\, at the same time it reveals Achebe’s keen awareness of the human qualities common to men of all times and places.
