Why was music of such importance during the Dutch Golden Age of the 17th century? Hear musical accompaniment from the Academy of Ancient Music (AAM) as Betsy Wieseman - the curator of 'Vermeer and Music: The Art of Love and Leisure - and experts from the AAM explore how music was used by painters as a metaphor for harmony. This could be harmony amid family members, political harmony or harmony between lovers.
Music was a major part of life in the 17th century, not only in churches and taverns but in people's homes. A lack of recorded music meant that it existed only in the moment it was created; a musical painting could serve not only as a reminder of good times but also of the transience of life.
Watch as Betsy Wieseman and members of the AAM discuss this symbolism in this film produced to accompany the exhibition at the National Gallery.

The Islamic Golden Age refers to the period in the history of Islam during the Middle Ages when much of the Muslim world was ruled by various caliphates, experiencing a scientific, economic, and cultural flourishing. This period is traditionally taken to have began during the reign of the Abbasid caliph Harun ar-Rashid (786 to 809) with the inauguration of the House of Wisdom in Baghdad, where scholars from various parts of the world sought to translate and gather all the known world's knowledge into Arabic.[4][5] It is taken to have ended with the collapse of the Abbasid Caliphate with the Mongol invasions and the Sack of Baghdad in 1258. Several contemporary scholars, however, place the end around the 15th to 16th centuries.
History of the concept
The metaphor of a golden age begins to be applied in 19th-century literature about Islamic history, in the context of the western cultural fashion of Orientalism. The author of a Handbook for Travelers in Syria and Palestine in 1868 observed that the most beautiful mosques of Damascus were "like Mohammedanism itself, now rapidly decaying" and relics of "the golden age of Islam".
There is no unambiguous definition of term, and depending on whether it is used with a focus on cultural or on military achievement, it may be taken to refer to rather disparate time spans. Thus, one author would have it extend to the duration of the caliphate, or to "six and a half centuries", while another would have it end after only a few decades of Rashidun conquests, with the death of Umar and the First Fitna.
During the early 20th century, the term was used only occasionally, and often referred to the early military successes of the Rashidun caliphs. It was only in the second half of the 20th century that the term came to be used with any frequency, now mostly referring to the cultural flourishing of science and mathematics under the caliphate during roughly the 9th to 11th centuries (between the establishment of organised scholarship in the House of Wisdom and the beginning of the crusades), but often extended to include part of the late 8th or the 12th to early 13th centuries. but definitions may still vary considerably. The end of the golden age with the end of the caliphate is a convenient cut-off point based on a historical landmark, but it can be argued that Islamic culture had entered a gradual decline much earlier; thus, Khan (2003) identifies as the golden age proper the two centuries between 750–950, arguing that the beginning loss of territories under Harun al-Rashid worsened after the death of al-Ma'mun in 833, and that the crusades in the 12th century resulted in a further weakening of the Abbasid empire from which it never recovered.
Causes
he Abbasids were influenced by the Quranic injunctions and hadiths, such as "the ink of a scholar is more holy than the blood of a martyr," that stressed the value of knowledge. During the Fatimid era (909–1171) Egypt became the center of an empire that included at its peak North Africa, Sicily, Palestine, Jordan, Lebanon, Syria, the Red Sea coast of Africa, Tihamah, Hejaz, and Yemen. During the age, the major Islamic capital cities of Baghdad, Cairo, and Córdoba became the main intellectual centers for science, philosophy, medicine, trade, and education. The Muslims during this period showed a strong interest in assimilating the scientific knowledge of the civilizations that had been conquered. Many classic works of antiquity that might otherwise have been lost were translated into Arabic and Persian and later in turn translated into Turkish, Hebrew, and Latin. They assimilated, synthesized, and advanced the knowledge gained from the ancient Greek, Roman, Persian, Indian, Chinese, Egyptian, and Phoenician civilizations.
Government sponsorship
The government heavily patronized scholars. The money spent on the Translation Movement for some translations is estimated to be equivalent to about twice the annual research budget of the United Kingdom’s Medical Research Council. The best scholars and notable translators, such as Hunayn ibn Ishaq, had salaries that are estimated to be the equivalent of professional athletes today.

I am now offering a translation of this Edda Poem next to the original Old Norse text in return for a small donation at my website http://freya.theladyofthelabyrinth.com/
(where you can also get a translation of the Voluspa as well as find ways of getting my book)
Explanations of interpretations with translations of names:
Frodafridr=Wisdom`s Peace ("The Peace of Wisdom")- The Golden Age of Norse myths, when according to Snorri, no one killed or waged war. It was ruled by Frodi Konungr= King Wisdom, son of Frídleif=Peace-Heritage. It was the time when the Aesir and the Vanir had made a truce and together created Kvasir, the incarnation of Infinite Knowledge, and let him wander freely in the world. The time is symbolised in metaphorical marriages.
Odin`s name has three meanings:The Spirit, ThePoetry,The Ecstasy. (See my talking video no.22 for more info)
To his three meanings there are three complementary names of his wife: Frigg=Love, Saga=History,Hlín=Calm.
There is also the marriage between Odins alter ego Odr=Spirit,Poetry,Ecstasy, to Freya=Lady Sovereign.
The fruit of the fulfilled and complementary union between the male and female powers is Baldr frá Breidablik=Courage from Broad View (Wide Perception) and his marriage with Nanna(="to grasp, realize, understand") Neprsdottir(=Daughter of the Ring(=wholeness, completion).
The end of Wisdom`s Peace begins with the death of Baldr by the hands of Hödr Blindi=Blind/Ignorant Strife/Aggression, who is led by the hands of Loki(=Passion) blinded by jealousy.
Another angle tells that two dwarfs killed Kvasir,Infinite Knowledge, by putting his essence in cauldrons that they hide for themselves (monopolize wisdom).
A third version is found in the Poetic Edda songs of the Helgi`s where Helgi(=Holy) dies at the Battle of the Rock of Greed(Frekasteinn) and is reborn having forgotten who he was before and wages needless war and thus destroys the Peace of Wisdom.
A fourth version is when Odr, Poetry etc. disappears on his wife Freya who subsequently moves into the world in countless shapes wearing many names.
Another is when Odin leaves his wife Saga(=History) in a substitute marriage with Vili and Ve(=Intent/Passion, Awe/Sanctuary/=the Mind) and history goes bad...
Yet another version of how the Peace of Wisdom began as Fate (the two maidens Fenia and Menia) serves Wisdom, but then Wisdom "falls asleep" and leaves the Fates without rest or pleasure, making them recall their former greatness when they were giantesses of the underworld giving shape to the world and setting the millstone of Destiny into motion.
This was when the giantesses became norns, and later they became valkyrias. One of the many texts showing that the separation between giantesses,norns and valkyrias is a modern misconception. Their names indicate that they are also goddesses:
Fenia means She of the Bog/Heath, pointing to the ancient Germanic goddess who received sacrifice in bogs for thousands of years, to a typical witch name like that Freya wore, Heidr(Heath), and to Frigg who lives in Fen-Salar (The Bog/Heath Halls).It could also mean Achiever, corresponding to the norn Verdandi (Becoming, Happening now).Menia means She of the Necklace and would be a metaphor for Freya who is "known" by her necklace BrisingaMen.Could also mean Rememberer, corresponding to the norn of the past, Urdr(=Origin).
ROARING ONE=Hrungnir, SLAVE-BINDER(=DEATH EAGLE)=Thiazi, "Spirit fights Greed=Odin fights Fenrir, LORD SOVEREIGN=Freyr (Like Lady Sovereign=Freya), the stanza cited shows how the difference between Odin and Freyr is illusion since Frigg(=Love)weeps for both of them as one when they die. The Son of Heater Woman(=Hlodyn=Earth), The Son of Spirit(=Odin), The Son of Life-Struggle(=Fjorgynn=Earth) are all metaphors for Thor, who dies in the battle against the serpent that keeps the border between the known and the unknown. RAGNARÖK=The Shattering of the Rulers, acopalyptic event in which the three great gods die but are resurrected in the three young gods Baldr(Courage of Wide Perception), Forseti (who keeps perfect justice) and Vidar (Expander)the Silent. The Sun gives birth to a daughter, the Earth rises from the ocean, ever-green and self-fertilising, and death in the shape of NIDHOGGR=The Biter from Below, vanishes.

The Golden Age audiobook
by Kenneth Grahame (1859-1932)
http://free-audio-books.info/childrens-literature/the-golden-age-audiobook/
The Golden Age is a collection of reminiscences of childhood, written by Kenneth Grahame and originally published in book form in 1895, in London by The Bodley Head, and in Chicago by Stone & Kimball. (The Prologue and six of the stories had previously appeared in the National Observer, the journal then edited by William Ernest Henley.) Widely praised upon its first appearance—Algernon Charles Swinburne, writing in the Daily Chronicle, called it "one of the few books which are well-nigh too praiseworthy for praise"—the book has come to be regarded as a classic in its genre.
Typical of his culture and his era, Grahame casts his reminiscences in imagery and metaphor rooted in the culture of Ancient Greece; to the children whose impressions are recorded in the book, the adults in their lives are "Olympians," while the chapter titled "The Argonauts" refers to Perseus, Apollo, Psyche, and similar figures of Greek mythology. Grahame's reminiscences, in The Golden Age and in the later Dream Days (1898), were notable for their conception "of a world where children are locked in perpetual warfare with the adult 'Olympians' who have wholly forgotten how it feels to be young"—a theme later explored by J. M. Barrie and other authors.

In which John Green teaches you about the Gilded Age and its politics. What, you may ask, is the Gilded Age? The term comes from a book by Mark Twain and Charles Dudley Warner titled, "The Gilded Age." You may see a pattern emerging here. It started in the 1870s and continued on until the turn of the 20th century. The era is called Gilded because of the massive inequality that existed in the United States. Gilded Age politics were marked by a number of phenomenons, most of them having to do with corruption. On the local and state level, political machines wielded enormous power. John gets into details about the most famous political machine, Tammany Hall. Tammany Hall ran New York City for a long, long time, notably under Boss Tweed. Graft, kickbacks, and voter fraud were rampant, but not just at the local level. Ulysses S. Grant ran one of the most scandalous presidential administrations in U.S. history, and John will tell you about two of the best known scandals, the Credit Mobilier scandal and the Whiskey Ring. There were a few attempts at reform during this time, notably the Civil Service Act of 1883 and the Sherman Anti-trust act of 1890. John will also get into the Grange Movement of the western farmers, and the Populist Party that arose from that movement. The Populists, who threw in their lot with William Jennings Bryan, never managed to get it together and win a presidency, and they faded after 1896. Which brings us to the Progressive Era, which we'll get into next week!

A metaphor for time ticking to its highest point and fading away. For me my Golden Age is
The sixth hour,
Expression of self is visual
And across me my Heart Loved
Her green eyes and brown hair
I still love her but I think it's fading,
But she will Restore it...
She always does...

The Golden Age of Comic Books was a period in the history of American comic books, generally thought of as lasting from the late 1930s until the late 1940s or early 1950s. During this time, modern comic books were first published and enjoyed a surge of popularity; the archetype of the superhero was created and defined; and many of the most famous superheroes debuted, among them Superman, Batman, Captain America, Wonder Woman, and Captain Marvel.
The period saw the arrival of the comic book as a mainstream art form, and the defining of the medium's artistic vocabulary and creative conventions by its first generation of writers, artists, and editors.
One event cited for the beginning of the Golden Age was the 1938 debut of Superman in Action Comics #1, published by a predecessor of modern-day DC Comics. Superman's creation made comic books into a major industry. Some date the start to earlier events in the 1930s: The Overstreet Comic Book Price Guide's regular publication The Golden Age Quarterly lists comic books from 1933 onwards (1933 saw the publication of the first comic book in the size that would subsequently define the format); some historians, including Roger Sabin (in Comics, Comix and Graphic Novels: a History of Comic Art), date it to the publication of the first comic books featuring entirely original stories rather than re-prints of comic strips from newspapers (1935), by the company that would become DC Comics. However, Superman, the first comic book superhero, was so popular that superheroes soon dominated the pages of comic books, which characterized the Golden Age.[citation needed] Between early 1939 and late 1941, DC and sister company All-American Publications introduced such popular superheroes as Batman and Robin, Wonder Woman, The Flash, Green Lantern, the Atom, Hawkman, and Aquaman, while Timely Comics, the 1940s predecessor of Marvel Comics, had million-selling titles that featured the Human Torch, the Sub-Mariner, and Captain America.

A golden age is a period in a field of endeavour when great tasks were accomplished. The term originated from early Greek and Roman poets who used to refer to a time when mankind lived in a better time and was pure (see Golden Age).
A society's Golden Age marks that period in its history having a heightened output of art, science, literature, and philosophy.
A golden age is often ascribed to the years immediately following some technological innovation. It is during this time that writers and artists ply their skills to this new medium. Therefore, there are Golden Ages of both radio and television. During this nascent phase the technology allows new ideas to be expressed, as new art forms flower quickly into new areas:
At least one technology had its "Golden Age" in its latter years:
Technology and creativity spawn new genres in literature and theatre. The onset of a new genre will be its Golden Age:
The Golden Age of Freethought is regarded the era from about the 1870s through the beginning of World War I in which freethought flourished in the United States. Social trends clashed with religious orthodoxy and caused people to question their traditional ideas about the world.

The Golden Age audiobook by Kenneth Grahame (1859-1932) The Golden Age is a collection of reminiscences of childhood, written by Kenneth Grahame and originally published in book form in 1895, in London by The Bodley Head, and in Chicago by Stone & Kimball. (The Prologue and six of the stories had previously appeared in the National Observer, the journal then edited by William Ernest Henley.) Widely praised upon its first appearance—Algernon Charles Swinburne, writing in the Daily Chronicle, called it "one of the few books which are well-nigh too praiseworthy for praise"—the book has come to be regarded as a classic in its genre. Typical of his culture and his era, Grahame casts his reminiscences in imagery and metaphor rooted in the culture of Ancient Greece; to the children whose impressions are recorded in the book, the adults in their lives are "Olympians," while the chapter titled "The Argonauts" refers to Perseus, Apollo, Psyche, and similar figures of Greek mythology. Grahame's reminiscences, in The Golden Age and in the later Dream Days (1898), were notable for their conception "of a world where children are locked in perpetual warfare with the adult 'Olympians' who have wholly forgotten how it feels to be young"—a theme later explored by J. M. Barrie and other authors. (Summary by Wikipedia) -

You can directly support Crash Course at http://www.subbable.com/crashcourse Subscribe for as little as $0 to keep up with everything we're doing. Also, if you can afford to pay a little every month, it really helps keep the channel producing great content. In which John Green teaches you about the Gilded Age and its politics. What, you may ask, is the Gilded Age? The term comes from a book by Mark Twain and Charles Dudley Warner titled, "The Gilded Age." You may see a pattern emerging here. It started in the 1870s and continued on until the turn of the 20th century. The era is called Gilded because of the massive inequality that existed in the United States. Gilded Age politics were marked by a number of phenomenons, most of them having to do with corruption. On the local and state level, political machines wielded enormous power. John gets into details about the most famous political machine, Tammany Hall. Tammany Hall ran New York City for a long, long time, notably under Boss Tweed. Graft, kickbacks, and voter fraud were rampant, but not just at the local level. Ulysses S. Grant ran one of the most scandalous presidential administrations in U.S. history, and John will tell you about two of the best known scandals, the Credit Mobilier scandal and the Whiskey Ring. There were a few attempts at reform during this time, notably the Civil Service Act of 1883 and the Sherman Anti-trust act of 1890. John will also get into the Grange Movement of the western farmers, and the Populist Party that arose from that movement. The Populists, who threw in their lot with William Jennings Bryan, never managed to get it together and win a presidency, and they faded after 1896. Which brings us to the Progressive Era, which we'll get into next week!

Faces of Medieval Middle east: Part I (Iraq & Syria)
The Islamic Golden Age refers to the period in the history of Islam during the Middle Ages when much of the Muslim world was ruled by various caliphates, experiencing a scientific, economic, and cultural flourishing. This period is traditionally taken to have began during the reign of the Abbasid caliph Harun ar-Rashid (786 to 809) with the inauguration of the House of Wisdom in Baghdad, where scholars from various parts of the world sought to translate and gather all the known world's knowledge into Arabic.[4][5] It is taken to have ended with the collapse of the Abbasid Caliphate with the Mongol invasions and the Sack of Baghdad in 1258. Several contemporary scholars, however, place the end around the 15th to 16th centuries. History of the concept The metaphor of a golden age begins t... -

The Islamic Golden Age refers to the period in the history of Islam during the Middle Ages when much of the Muslim world was ruled by various caliphates, experiencing a scientific, economic, and cultural flourishing. This period is traditionally taken to have began during the reign of the Abbasid caliph Harun ar-Rashid (786 to 809) with the inauguration of the House of Wisdom in Baghdad, where scholars from various parts of the world sought to translate and gather all the known world's knowledge into Arabic.[4][5] It is taken to have ended with the collapse of the Abbasid Caliphate with the Mongol invasions and the Sack of Baghdad in 1258. Several contemporary scholars, however, place the end around the 15th to 16th centuries.
History of the concept
The metaphor of a golden age begins to be applied in 19th-century literature about Islamic history, in the context of the western cultural fashion of Orientalism. The author of a Handbook for Travelers in Syria and Palestine in 1868 observed that the most beautiful mosques of Damascus were "like Mohammedanism itself, now rapidly decaying" and relics of "the golden age of Islam".
There is no unambiguous definition of term, and depending on whether it is used with a focus on cultural or on military achievement, it may be taken to refer to rather disparate time spans. Thus, one author would have it extend to the duration of the caliphate, or to "six and a half centuries", while another would have it end after only a few decades of Rashidun conquests, with the death of Umar and the First Fitna.
During the early 20th century, the term was used only occasionally, and often referred to the early military successes of the Rashidun caliphs. It was only in the second half of the 20th century that the term came to be used with any frequency, now mostly referring to the cultural flourishing of science and mathematics under the caliphate during roughly the 9th to 11th centuries (between the establishment of organised scholarship in the House of Wisdom and the beginning of the crusades), but often extended to include part of the late 8th or the 12th to early 13th centuries. but definitions may still vary considerably. The end of the golden age with the end of the caliphate is a convenient cut-off point based on a historical landmark, but it can be argued that Islamic culture had entered a gradual decline much earlier; thus, Khan (2003) identifies as the golden age proper the two centuries between 750–950, arguing that the beginning loss of territories under Harun al-Rashid worsened after the death of al-Ma'mun in 833, and that the crusades in the 12th century resulted in a further weakening of the Abbasid empire from which it never recovered.
Causes
he Abbasids were influenced by the Quranic injunctions and hadiths, such as "the ink of a scholar is more holy than the blood of a martyr," that stressed the value of knowledge. During the Fatimid era (909–1171) Egypt became the center of an empire that included at its peak North Africa, Sicily, Palestine, Jordan, Lebanon, Syria, the Red Sea coast of Africa, Tihamah, Hejaz, and Yemen. During the age, the major Islamic capital cities of Baghdad, Cairo, and Córdoba became the main intellectual centers for science, philosophy, medicine, trade, and education. The Muslims during this period showed a strong interest in assimilating the scientific knowledge of the civilizations that had been conquered. Many classic works of antiquity that might otherwise have been lost were translated into Arabic and Persian and later in turn translated into Turkish, Hebrew, and Latin. They assimilated, synthesized, and advanced the knowledge gained from the ancient Greek, Roman, Persian, Indian, Chinese, Egyptian, and Phoenician civilizations.
Government sponsorship
The government heavily patronized scholars. The money spent on the Translation Movement for some translations is estimated to be equivalent to about twice the annual research budget of the United Kingdom’s Medical Research Council. The best scholars and notable translators, such as Hunayn ibn Ishaq, had salaries that are estimated to be the equivalent of professional athletes today.

I am now offering a translation of this Edda Poem next to the original Old Norse text in return for a small donation at my website http://freya.theladyofthelabyrinth.com/
(where you can also get a translation of the Voluspa as well as find ways of getting my book)
Explanations of interpretations with translations of names:
Frodafridr=Wisdom`s Peace ("The Peace of Wisdom")- The Golden Age of Norse myths, when according to Snorri, no one killed or waged war. It was ruled by Frodi Konungr= King Wisdom, son of Frídleif=Peace-Heritage. It was the time when the Aesir and the Vanir had made a truce and together created Kvasir, the incarnation of Infinite Knowledge, and let him wander freely in the world. The time is symbolised in metaphorical marriages.
Odin`s name has three meanings:The Spirit, ThePoetry,The Ecstasy. (See my talking video no.22 for more info)
To his three meanings there are three complementary names of his wife: Frigg=Love, Saga=History,Hlín=Calm.
There is also the marriage between Odins alter ego Odr=Spirit,Poetry,Ecstasy, to Freya=Lady Sovereign.
The fruit of the fulfilled and complementary union between the male and female powers is Baldr frá Breidablik=Courage from Broad View (Wide Perception) and his marriage with Nanna(="to grasp, realize, understand") Neprsdottir(=Daughter of the Ring(=wholeness, completion).
The end of Wisdom`s Peace begins with the death of Baldr by the hands of Hödr Blindi=Blind/Ignorant Strife/Aggression, who is led by the hands of Loki(=Passion) blinded by jealousy.
Another angle tells that two dwarfs killed Kvasir,Infinite Knowledge, by putting his essence in cauldrons that they hide for themselves (monopolize wisdom).
A third version is found in the Poetic Edda songs of the Helgi`s where Helgi(=Holy) dies at the Battle of the Rock of Greed(Frekasteinn) and is reborn having forgotten who he was before and wages needless war and thus destroys the Peace of Wisdom.
A fourth version is when Odr, Poetry etc. disappears on his wife Freya who subsequently moves into the world in countless shapes wearing many names.
Another is when Odin leaves his wife Saga(=History) in a substitute marriage with Vili and Ve(=Intent/Passion, Awe/Sanctuary/=the Mind) and history goes bad...
Yet another version of how the Peace of Wisdom began as Fate (the two maidens Fenia and Menia) serves Wisdom, but then Wisdom "falls asleep" and leaves the Fates without rest or pleasure, making them recall their former greatness when they were giantesses of the underworld giving shape to the world and setting the millstone of Destiny into motion.
This was when the giantesses became norns, and later they became valkyrias. One of the many texts showing that the separation between giantesses,norns and valkyrias is a modern misconception. Their names indicate that they are also goddesses:
Fenia means She of the Bog/Heath, pointing to the ancient Germanic goddess who received sacrifice in bogs for thousands of years, to a typical witch name like that Freya wore, Heidr(Heath), and to Frigg who lives in Fen-Salar (The Bog/Heath Halls).It could also mean Achiever, corresponding to the norn Verdandi (Becoming, Happening now).Menia means She of the Necklace and would be a metaphor for Freya who is "known" by her necklace BrisingaMen.Could also mean Rememberer, corresponding to the norn of the past, Urdr(=Origin).
ROARING ONE=Hrungnir, SLAVE-BINDER(=DEATH EAGLE)=Thiazi, "Spirit fights Greed=Odin fights Fenrir, LORD SOVEREIGN=Freyr (Like Lady Sovereign=Freya), the stanza cited shows how the difference between Odin and Freyr is illusion since Frigg(=Love)weeps for both of them as one when they die. The Son of Heater Woman(=Hlodyn=Earth), The Son of Spirit(=Odin), The Son of Life-Struggle(=Fjorgynn=Earth) are all metaphors for Thor, who dies in the battle against the serpent that keeps the border between the known and the unknown. RAGNARÖK=The Shattering of the Rulers, acopalyptic event in which the three great gods die but are resurrected in the three young gods Baldr(Courage of Wide Perception), Forseti (who keeps perfect justice) and Vidar (Expander)the Silent. The Sun gives birth to a daughter, the Earth rises from the ocean, ever-green and self-fertilising, and death in the shape of NIDHOGGR=The Biter from Below, vanishes.

wn.com/The Golden Age, Ragnarok And The Edda Poem Grottasöngr The Song Of The Millstone Of Destiny
I am now offering a translation of this Edda Poem next to the original Old Norse text in return for a small donation at my website http://freya.theladyofthelabyrinth.com/
(where you can also get a translation of the Voluspa as well as find ways of getting my book)
Explanations of interpretations with translations of names:
Frodafridr=Wisdom`s Peace ("The Peace of Wisdom")- The Golden Age of Norse myths, when according to Snorri, no one killed or waged war. It was ruled by Frodi Konungr= King Wisdom, son of Frídleif=Peace-Heritage. It was the time when the Aesir and the Vanir had made a truce and together created Kvasir, the incarnation of Infinite Knowledge, and let him wander freely in the world. The time is symbolised in metaphorical marriages.
Odin`s name has three meanings:The Spirit, ThePoetry,The Ecstasy. (See my talking video no.22 for more info)
To his three meanings there are three complementary names of his wife: Frigg=Love, Saga=History,Hlín=Calm.
There is also the marriage between Odins alter ego Odr=Spirit,Poetry,Ecstasy, to Freya=Lady Sovereign.
The fruit of the fulfilled and complementary union between the male and female powers is Baldr frá Breidablik=Courage from Broad View (Wide Perception) and his marriage with Nanna(="to grasp, realize, understand") Neprsdottir(=Daughter of the Ring(=wholeness, completion).
The end of Wisdom`s Peace begins with the death of Baldr by the hands of Hödr Blindi=Blind/Ignorant Strife/Aggression, who is led by the hands of Loki(=Passion) blinded by jealousy.
Another angle tells that two dwarfs killed Kvasir,Infinite Knowledge, by putting his essence in cauldrons that they hide for themselves (monopolize wisdom).
A third version is found in the Poetic Edda songs of the Helgi`s where Helgi(=Holy) dies at the Battle of the Rock of Greed(Frekasteinn) and is reborn having forgotten who he was before and wages needless war and thus destroys the Peace of Wisdom.
A fourth version is when Odr, Poetry etc. disappears on his wife Freya who subsequently moves into the world in countless shapes wearing many names.
Another is when Odin leaves his wife Saga(=History) in a substitute marriage with Vili and Ve(=Intent/Passion, Awe/Sanctuary/=the Mind) and history goes bad...
Yet another version of how the Peace of Wisdom began as Fate (the two maidens Fenia and Menia) serves Wisdom, but then Wisdom "falls asleep" and leaves the Fates without rest or pleasure, making them recall their former greatness when they were giantesses of the underworld giving shape to the world and setting the millstone of Destiny into motion.
This was when the giantesses became norns, and later they became valkyrias. One of the many texts showing that the separation between giantesses,norns and valkyrias is a modern misconception. Their names indicate that they are also goddesses:
Fenia means She of the Bog/Heath, pointing to the ancient Germanic goddess who received sacrifice in bogs for thousands of years, to a typical witch name like that Freya wore, Heidr(Heath), and to Frigg who lives in Fen-Salar (The Bog/Heath Halls).It could also mean Achiever, corresponding to the norn Verdandi (Becoming, Happening now).Menia means She of the Necklace and would be a metaphor for Freya who is "known" by her necklace BrisingaMen.Could also mean Rememberer, corresponding to the norn of the past, Urdr(=Origin).
ROARING ONE=Hrungnir, SLAVE-BINDER(=DEATH EAGLE)=Thiazi, "Spirit fights Greed=Odin fights Fenrir, LORD SOVEREIGN=Freyr (Like Lady Sovereign=Freya), the stanza cited shows how the difference between Odin and Freyr is illusion since Frigg(=Love)weeps for both of them as one when they die. The Son of Heater Woman(=Hlodyn=Earth), The Son of Spirit(=Odin), The Son of Life-Struggle(=Fjorgynn=Earth) are all metaphors for Thor, who dies in the battle against the serpent that keeps the border between the known and the unknown. RAGNARÖK=The Shattering of the Rulers, acopalyptic event in which the three great gods die but are resurrected in the three young gods Baldr(Courage of Wide Perception), Forseti (who keeps perfect justice) and Vidar (Expander)the Silent. The Sun gives birth to a daughter, the Earth rises from the ocean, ever-green and self-fertilising, and death in the shape of NIDHOGGR=The Biter from Below, vanishes.

The Golden Age audiobook
by Kenneth Grahame (1859-1932)
http://free-audio-books.info/childrens-literature/the-golden-age-audiobook/
The Golden Age is a collection of reminiscences of childhood, written by Kenneth Grahame and originally published in book form in 1895, in London by The Bodley Head, and in Chicago by Stone & Kimball. (The Prologue and six of the stories had previously appeared in the National Observer, the journal then edited by William Ernest Henley.) Widely praised upon its first appearance—Algernon Charles Swinburne, writing in the Daily Chronicle, called it "one of the few books which are well-nigh too praiseworthy for praise"—the book has come to be regarded as a classic in its genre.
Typical of his culture and his era, Grahame casts his reminiscences in imagery and metaphor rooted in the culture of Ancient Greece; to the children whose impressions are recorded in the book, the adults in their lives are "Olympians," while the chapter titled "The Argonauts" refers to Perseus, Apollo, Psyche, and similar figures of Greek mythology. Grahame's reminiscences, in The Golden Age and in the later Dream Days (1898), were notable for their conception "of a world where children are locked in perpetual warfare with the adult 'Olympians' who have wholly forgotten how it feels to be young"—a theme later explored by J. M. Barrie and other authors.

In which John Green teaches you about the Gilded Age and its politics. What, you may ask, is the Gilded Age? The term comes from a book by Mark Twain and Charles Dudley Warner titled, "The Gilded Age." You may see a pattern emerging here. It started in the 1870s and continued on until the turn of the 20th century. The era is called Gilded because of the massive inequality that existed in the United States. Gilded Age politics were marked by a number of phenomenons, most of them having to do with corruption. On the local and state level, political machines wielded enormous power. John gets into details about the most famous political machine, Tammany Hall. Tammany Hall ran New York City for a long, long time, notably under Boss Tweed. Graft, kickbacks, and voter fraud were rampant, but not just at the local level. Ulysses S. Grant ran one of the most scandalous presidential administrations in U.S. history, and John will tell you about two of the best known scandals, the Credit Mobilier scandal and the Whiskey Ring. There were a few attempts at reform during this time, notably the Civil Service Act of 1883 and the Sherman Anti-trust act of 1890. John will also get into the Grange Movement of the western farmers, and the Populist Party that arose from that movement. The Populists, who threw in their lot with William Jennings Bryan, never managed to get it together and win a presidency, and they faded after 1896. Which brings us to the Progressive Era, which we'll get into next week!

A thousand years or so is said
Gentle breeze of a flowering bed
Children and fairies chattering secrets in pretty ears
Gone are the years
Gone are the years of sorrow and pain
Gone are those years
Barefoot in clean white sand
A kiss on the lips, a kiss on the hand
