REMEMBER MELVILLE 'STANDING MAN'

MAURICE SENDAK

Maurice was never interested in supplying children with momentary distractions or reliable soporifics; he wanted to make rich, complex, even dangerous art for them. He risked everything and dared anything, even failure, to uncover truth. He pushed at the boundaries of his form to expand its expressive capabilities, In a few months, My Brother's Book, Maurice's last complete work will be published. It was written and drawn with heroic effort as, at 83, he battled hand tremors and cataracts, grief over the death of Eugene Glynn, his partner of 50 years, and the deaths of many friends. The book is rough, surprising, and entirely new. It's intended for us, the adults Maurice helped to create by making the books he made.  >>His grateful readers and adoring friends loved him because he told us the truth; he warned us, in book after book, that death divides the living from the loved, and also, impossibly, that love lasts even when life doesn't. Do we believe him? Somehow, through some potent magic he possessed, we do. >>He was protean, and over the years, his books became stranger, darker, more complex and more magnificent. He was a very serious artist. With a depth of feeling and intensity that might seem odd in an author and illustrator of children's books, Maurice believed in art.  His favorite author was HERMAN MELVILLE, WHO WAS INSPIRED GREATLY BY NATHANIEL HAWTHORNE >>

The Civil War made a deep impression on Melville and became the principal subject of his verse. With so many family members participating in various aspects of the war, Melville found himself intimately connected to events, and also sought out conflict for himself. He observed the Senate debating secession during a visit to Washington D.C. in 1861, and made a remarkable trip to the front with his brother in 1864. Melville's first published book of poems was Battle-Pieces and Aspects of the War (1866), a meditation. The volume is regarded by many critics as a work as ambitious and rich as any of his novels. Unfortunately, Melville's remains relatively unrecognized as a poet. - See more at: http://www.poets.org/poet.php/prmPID/236#sthash.seL3OfH9.dpuf

HERMAN MELVILLE

Nathaniel HAWTHORNE

Hawthorne .. at seventeen is quoted as already knowing his vocation, “I do not want to be a doctor and live by men's diseases, nor a minister to live by their sins, nor a lawyer and live by their quarrels. So, I don't see that there is anything left for me but to be and author." In this sentiment there is already the direction which Hawthorne's writing would follow; one of encountering those aspects of humanity (diseases, sins and quarrels) through a lens which would bring them into a focus highlighting their ambiguities and the conflict of man within their paradoxes.

Sea Fever ~I must go down to the seas again, to the lonely sea and the sky, ~And all I ask is a tall ship and a star to steer her by, ~And the wheel's kick and the wind's song and the white sail's shaking, ~And a grey mist on the sea's face, and a grey dawn breaking.  ~I must go down to the seas again, for the call of the running tide, ~Is a wild call and a clear call that may not be denied; ~And all I ask is a windy day with the white clouds flying, ~And the flung spray and the blown spume, and the sea-gulls crying. ~I must go down to the seas again, to the vagrant gypsy life, ~To the gull's way and the whale's way, where the wind's like a whetted knife; ~And all I ask is a merry yarn from a laughing fellow-rover, And quiet sleep and a sweet dream when the long trick's over.  John Masefield, © 1902
