There is so much fascinating material I've managed to dig up and share in this book. I hope you enjoy discovering it as much as I did.
For example, in the discussion of the Egyptian recognition of the winter solstice, I obtained the hieroglyphic "Wörterbücher" or dictionaries of Dr. Heinrich Karl Brugsch, handwritten in 19th-century German. These were difficult to translate even for the native German speaker whose assistance I gratefully enlisted. To my knowledge, other than Budge, no one had focused on Brugsch's fairly lengthy discussion of the Egyptian winter-solstice recognition and celebration, which is so very interesting to me.
Included in Brugsch's dictionary was the fascinating hieroglyph of the goddesses Isis and Nephthys holding the baby sun over the life-giving ankh or Egyptian cross, an obvious reference to the "birth" of the sun at the winter solstice.

In the chapter "Born on December 25th" I spend some 40 pages (79-119), including images, demonstrating that Egyptian winter-solstice motif and its relationship to the Horus the Child and other Egyptian gods.
There was much more of this sort of data that, with great difficulty at times, I was able to bring to a modern English-speaking public in my book.]]> I wanted to stop by to say that I appreciate you discussing my book here.

"It is worth noting that, anatomically, the human cerebrum appears to be the sort of diffuse system in which multiple processes would be at home. In this respect it differs from the nervous system of lower animals. Our hypothesis leads us to the radical suggestion that the critical difference between the thinking of human beings and of lower animals lies not in the existence of consciousness but in the capacity for complex processes outside of it."

As the consequences of rapid and uncontrolled industrialisation begin to become apparent in America in the 1960's families in crisis fall apart and individuals begin the slow torturous process of picking up the pieces and gradually and painfully building new lives from the ashes of old hatreds and buried family secrets. What initially appears to be a love story gone wrong moves rapidly into a much wider canvas and becomes in many ways the story of American society itself.

A very rewarding read and ultimately a very optimistic book. Joyce Carol Oates never fails to deliver a superb and well paced read.

My problem is this: I had to learn a poem by heart years ago for uni. I loved the poem and I would like to find it again. The problem is I don't remember the poet and I only have the poem's name which is "The Healer". I tried googling but all The Healer poems were religious poems and my poem was not like that. I remember a couple of the lines, they went something like this:

Sometimes I think my life's over
That there will be repetition
But no more story.

I also remember the narrator saying something about churchgoers who were passing by, and I think the narrator might have been outside doing something, maybe something to do with flowers? But that's all I have. And those lines produce nothing on google.

Anyone got any ideas as to who's poem I'm referring to? I'm dying to find this poem!]]>
