X-ALT-DESC;FMTTYPE=text/html:<p>In three lectures followed by discussion\,
  <strong>Margaret Soltan\, Emerita\, George Washington University</strong>
 \, will analyze three increasingly philosophical modern poems:</p>\n<p><em
 ><strong>Cape Breton </strong></em><strong>by Elizabeth Bishop</strong></p
 >\n<p><em><strong>Santorini: Stopping the Leak </strong></em><strong>by Ja
 mes Merrill</strong></p>\n<p><em><strong>Sunday Morning </strong></em><str
 ong>by Wallace Stevens</strong></p>\n<p>All three do what most of the poet
 ry of our secular time does - they elaborate on the essential mystery of l
 ife\, and they seek meaning through engaging in that mystery in various de
 eply expressive settings -- Cape Breton\, Nova Scotia\; the volcanic Greek
  island of Santorini\; and an unspecified mountain setting of great beauty
 .&nbsp\; The poets try to read\, and try to help us read\, the human and n
 atural world that surrounds and sometimes seems to speak&nbsp\;to us.&nbsp
 \; We'll consider both the verbal brilliance of these famous poems\, and t
 he metaphysical suggestions within them.</p>\n<p><strong>Saturdays\, Octob
