There is also one pamphlet (A Modest Proposal), one book of collected text (Adjunct: An Undigest), and one graphic novel (Watchmen). There have been two major revisions of 280 odd titles, one in 2008 and one in 2014.

Clearly Contacts™ AU| Shop Contact Lenses, Eyeglasses & Sunglasses Amazon.com dialogue - Is the Marcus Aurelius quote in Black Sails a rewrite? - Movies & TV Stack Exchange This is perhaps not the best place for this Q, but I'm not able to find any site more suitable. (Have looked at English Language and Usage, Writers and the like, but doesn't seem to fit.) Towards the end of Black Sails third episode we are given a read by Miranda from Marcus Aurelius Meditations. With the possibility of not recapturing it correctly it goes something like: – The emperor writes: How should you be? Is this from an existing translation / rewrite, or is it a rework by the authors of the TV-series? Translation (1862) by George Long (1800 – 1879) can be found here, which at end of book four has: […] Be like the promontory against which the waves continually break, but it stands firm and tames the fury of the water around it. […] It reminds me of the quotation from Dante's La Vita Nuova read by The Doctor in the Star Trek episode Latent Image in which he reads: Where the more literal translation say: Is this the same case?

Home - hardtofind. Goodreads Desiderata 1920s prose poem by Max Ehrman 1976 edition of The Desiderata of Happiness poetry collection "Desiderata" (Latin: "things desired") is an early 1920s prose poem by the American writer Max Ehrmann. Although he copyrighted it in 1927, he distributed copies of it without a required copyright notice during 1933 and c. 1942, thereby forfeiting his US copyright.[1] Largely unknown in the author's lifetime, its use in devotional and spoken word recordings in 1960 and 1971 called it to the attention of the world.[2] History[edit] Desiderata Go placidly amid the noise and the haste, and remember what peace there may be in silence. Max Ehrmann, 1948 The 1948 version was in the form of one long prose paragraph, so earlier and later versions were presumably also in that form.
