X-ALT-DESC;FMTTYPE=text/html:<p>In three lectures followed by discussion\,
  <strong>Margaret Soltan\, Emerita\, George Washington Universit</strong>y
 \, will analyze three increasingly philosophical modern poems:</p>\n<p><em
 ><strong>Cape Breton</strong></em> by Elizabeth Bishop</p>\n<p><em><strong
 >Santorini: Stopping the Leak</strong></em> by James Merrill</p>\n<p><em><
 strong>Sunday Morning</strong></em> by Wallace Stevens</p>\n<p>All three d
 o what most of the poetry of our secular time does - they elaborate on the
  essential mystery of life\, and they seek meaning through engaging in tha
 t mystery in various deeply expressive settings -- Cape Breton\, Nova Scot
 ia\; 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 natural world that surrounds and sometimes seems to 
 speak&nbsp\;to us.&nbsp\; We'll consider both the verbal brilliance of the
 se famous poems\, and the metaphysical suggestions within them.</p>\n<p><s
