At the Antrim Literature Project, we make the university-level study of literature accessible to public readership by offering lecture series, online courses, and reading groups led by literary experts. We want to encounter the traditions of great literature through close reading, conversation, and community, in order to cultivate the conditions under which a love and appreciation of literature may be learned and deepened.

Loved this lecture! Perhaps a comment on one point? The “winged seeds,” I believe are exactly that - the samara which several species of trees make. If he’s at the edge of an Italian forest, it could very well be cypress. Dead leaves don’t die and become new trees in the spring, but samaras do. They are seeds.
