Through keen observations of the natural world, art, literature, and music, and reflections on the human condition, Jaccottet opens his readers' eyes to the transcendent in everyday life. \u003ci\u003eThe Second Seedtime\u003c\/i\u003e is a collection of \"things seen, things read, and things dreamed.\" The volume continues the project Jaccottet began three decades earlier in his first volume of notebooks, \u003ci\u003eSeedtime\u003c\/i\u003e. Here, again, he gathers flashes of beauty dispersed around him like seeds that may blossom into poems or moments of inspiration. He returns, insistently, to such literary touchstones as Dante, Montaigne, Góngora, Goethe, Kierkegaard, Hölderlin, Michaux, Hopkins, Brontë, and Dickinson, as well as musical greats including Bach, Monteverdi, Purcell, and Schubert. \u003ci\u003eThe Second Seedtime\u003c\/i\u003e is the vivid chronicle of one man's passionate engagement with the life of the mind, the spirit, and the natural world.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Philippe Jaccottet\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1803093609\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781803093604\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Seagull Books\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 03\/07\/2024\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 232\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.65lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.03h x 5.04w x 0.79d","brand":"Philippe Jaccottet","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":45064828354815,"sku":"9781803093604","price":19.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_27a19e2c-7153-4bd3-b604-293015a5fd75.jpg?v=1712125067","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/the-second-seedtime-philippe-jaccottet-9781803093604","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
