Interview with Art Samson
No full textInterview with Arthur Aaron “Art” Samson (1921-2006) recorded on August 9, 1995 in South Haven, Michigan. Originally recorded by Monadnock Media for a Kalamazoo Valley Museum exhibit on Jewish resorts in South Haven. As a child, the youngest of 5 kids, Art came with his family from Chicago in 1928 when his father, Fishl Samson, bought a building, which later developed into Samson\u27s Resort. He recounts his memories of the resort, including: his father calling in family to help build new additions, like a dining hall, and paying them only with whisky, herring, and rye bread; working summers at the resort along with his siblings; resort entertainment, open-air dance floors with color lights; how their resort attracted clientele and poached guests at the docks; washing dishes, checking the lights, cleaning the bathrooms, driving the bus, and other jobs on a typical day at the resort; working hard all summer with little downtime, as usual for the resort workers in-season; facing antisemitism; leaving for the Army and WWII in 1942, then returning to South Haven to run a gas station; Samson\u27s Resort closing soon after the death of his father in 1949.https://scholarworks.wmich.edu/south-haven-resorts/1006/thumbnail.jp

Austin also must be remembered. The Augustinian legacy in Milton's work
Get PDFWhen I started working on this project, with a limited knowledge of Augustine, but determined to spot his presence in Miltonâs poetry, I was little aware of the intricacy of the relationship between the two authors. At this stage of my research, I do subscribe to Savoyeâs opinion, that this relationship is pervasive. However, one could safely add, it is as pervasive as it is hidden, primarily because of changed cultural paradigms, so that Miltonâs references are no longer familiar to the reader.
As I have pointed out in my presentation of the state of the art, these articulations are hardly made explicit in Miltonâs Oeuvre and also in critical literature they are hardly brought to the surface. My objective has been to make them a little more visible.
I have started my own process of discovery from the works where Milton more openly (but not completely) acknowledges his Augustinian sources, although arguably mediated. As concerns Samson Agonistes, I have presented a reading through Augustinian lenses. I am by no means claiming that mine is the best of all possible readings, but through those lenses I have been able to see a coherence, in Miltonâs dramatic poem, that is not generally recognized.
On the other hand, I thoroughly agree that âone cannot simply take any English poet and turn the post-structuralist critical machine loose on him or her in good faithâ. In particular, I am aware that I have read Miltonâs works against the current critical grain which, with a powerful turn impressed by Empsonâs Miltonâs God, is continually surfacing Miltonâs idiosyncrasies in order to cancel the received picture of a Christian author. Rather, I agree with Cirillo that Miltonâs perspective is that of âa professed Christian poet whose Christian consciousness, no matter how heterodox, colored virtually everything he wrote.â.We may ask, echoing Febvre on Rabelais, âMais de quel christianisme? In accordance with very traditional, even traditionalist Milton Criticism, I think it can safely be stated that Milton is a post-Reformation religious author, and one whose endeavour to âjustify the ways of God to menâ had to come to terms with the difficult task to find signs of providential history in the aftermath of a civil war and in the adverse context of the Restoration. His last published poems deal with this problem in different terms. As readers, we can come to different conclusions as to the texts. Behind them there is the man, âest abyssus humanae conscientiae,â in front of which, after Augustine, I can only say: "nescio"
