Taormina -- A new defence of poetry -- Democracy -- The ride. Produced by Afra Ullah, David King, and the Online Distributed Proofreading Team "Heart of Man" by George Edward Woodberry is a collection of essays and poetic reflections likely composed during the late 19th century. The work explores the interconnectedness of humanity's artistic, political, and spiritual endeavors, suggesting they all spring from a common source found "deep in the general heart of man." The opening chapter, setting a contemplative tone, invites readers to reflect on the aesthetic beauty of Taormina, where the author draws connections between the natural environment and the human spirit. The beginning of "Heart of Man" paints a vivid picture of the landscape surrounding Taormina, describing the allure of its lights against the backdrop of a tumultuous sea and the grandeur of Mount Etna. The author reflects on personal experiences of walking through this picturesque setting, allowing nature to evoke a contemplative state that blurs lines between memory and reality. Through rich imagery, Woodberry articulates the profound connection between the physical world and inner human experiences, setting the stage for deeper explorations of moral and philosophical themes that will unfold throughout the collection.
