The Blind Child
(Words from his aunt in Mountain View, Mo., and the tune from a member of the class, Mrs. Donna Everett of Huntsville.)
They tell me, Father, that tonight You wed another bride,
That you will clasp her in your arms Where my poor mother died.
They say she'll lay her lovely head Upon your manly breast Just like my own dear mother did In life's last hours of rest.
They say her name is Mary too,
The name my mother bore,
But, Father, is she kind and true Like the one you loved before?
And is her step so soft and low,
Her voice so calm and mild,
And, Father, do you think she'll love Your blind and helpless child?
Oh Father, do not bid me come To meet your loving bride,
I could not meet her in the room Where my poor mother died.
Her picture's hanging on the wall,
Her books are lying there,
And here's the harp her fingers touched,
And there's her vacant chair.
As he arose to leave the room A joyful cry was given,
He turned and caught the last sweet smile,
His blind child was in heaven.
They laid her by her mother's side And raised a marble fair,
On it engraved those simple words,
"There'll be no blind ones there."Funding for digitization provided by the Arkansas Humanities Council and the Happy Hollow Foundation

From Wunderkammern to Kinect: The Creation of 'Shadow Worlds'
No full textThis paper focuses on two projects, Still Life No. 1 and Shadow Worlds | Writers' Rooms [Brontë Parsonage], to reveal the creative approaches the authors take to site, technology, and the self in their production of shadow worlds as sites of wonder. Informed by the uncanny (re-animation and the double) and an interest in the limen (thresholds in the real and virtual realms), the projects explore white light and infrared digital 3D scanning technologies as tools for capture and transformation. The authors will discuss how they suture the past with the present and ways that light slips secretly between us, revealing other realms

Truth is Stranger than Science Fiction: The Quest for Knowledge in Andrei Tarkovskii’s Solaris and Stalker
No full textThis article explores Andrei Tarkovskii’s conception of truth in Solaris (1972) and Stalker (1979) as part of his wider philosophical project concerning knowledge. The director’s epistemological views form a core dimension of his life and aesthetic as he strives towards what he considers a higher, spiritual ‘idea of knowing’. In his search for this idealised notion of truth, Tarkovskii uses the medium of film to address what he perceives as a profound imbalance in modern civilization between scientific rationalism and spiritual/aesthetic ‘truth’. This is nowhere more prominent than in his two science fiction films, Solaris and Stalker, as he uses the genre as a battleground to discuss key debates in epistemology. Comparisons will be made with the Russian author and thinker Tarkovskii most revered, Fyodor Dostoevskii, and the Soviet-period science fiction authors whose works he adapted, Stanisław Lem and the Strugatskii brothers, in order to elucidate how the director came to cinematically represent his philosophy
