Dr. Peter Hughes
Relentless, endless Competitive, selfish, Repetitive; completely overwhelming. Journey starts asking why, Proceed at speed, Contribute, comply. Enthusiasm tempered by isolation, Anxiety on not being first. Prepare for presentation, Supported, endorsed. Defend and explain, Communicate to field, Relate well to peers, Well-achieved study bequeath. Viva questions required response, Defend the thesis neatly, Nonchalance, battle persevere. Submission, overdue, But I showed you. I did it, yes I did it so, Peer review. |
The Tea Room
Dr. Peter Hughes
Boiled, whipped or steeped,
Pure clear zest of tea. Infused and balanced, Sustain my Ph.D. Not proud like wine, Or self-conscious coffee. August iced beverage, Winter potable brew. Roji path to my hidden world, My silent tea room sneak. Where Samurai swords discard, Bow tokonoma meek. Softly lit; subdued, Perfectly clean. Repetition carefully avoided, Free of bad taste. A single lilium, in a hanging vase, Covered in morning dew. Pendulous snowy tepal, Long our eastern place. |

Marcus Aurelius Gold
Marcus Aurelius (121—180 C.E.)
Marcus became Emperor in AD 161, initially alongside Lucius Verus, becoming sole Emperor in AD 169. According to tradition, Marcus was a Stoic. His ancient biographer, Julius Capitolinus, describes him as such. Marcus also makes reference to a number of Stoics by whom he was taught and, in particular, mentions Rusticus from whom he borrowed a copy of the works of the Stoic philosopher Epictetus (Med. 1.7).
|
Of all the philosophical exercises in the Meditations the most prominent centers around what might be called 'the point of view of the cosmos'. In a number of passages Marcus exhorts himself to overcome the limited perspective of the individual and experience the world from a cosmic perspective. If one keeps this understanding of 'philosophy' in mind, then one becomes able to appreciate the function and the philosophical value of Marcus' Meditations.

Marcus Aurelius Gold

His sunny second home in France,
Their friends often partake. A resting place for summer, Gaul cheese fine wine dictate. Roman fort regularly visit, Historic amphitheatre gaze. Emperor Aurelius outpost, Silhouette clothed morning haze. Small sample of Lugdunum concretus, He brings me to survey. Look under your microscope, At hidden wonders portray. Gold among fine aggregate, Collected sand from river Rhone. Could this be the unknown secret, Of Lyon’s Roman Stone. |
GRAND ROMAN THEATRE OF LYON.
The Grand Roman Theatre of Lyon, known as “Théâtre Romain” was constructed in approximately 15BC and was able to seat up to around 10,000 people.
Having been well restored in the early twentieth century, the Grand Roman Theatre of Lyon is one of the oldest structures of its kind and a reminder of Lugdunum, the Gallo-Roman city which would become Lyon. The site was generally abandoned by the third century AD. |
Behind the theatre are further ruins, possibly the remains of the Temple of Cybele. The Grand Roman Theatre of Lyon is now used for performances. It is part of the UNESCO World Heritage site of Lyon.
