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. -

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
