I Refute It Thus
I refute it thus,
But what is this?
A simple stone disappears,
As animal and element kiss.
Heads, necks, sinew strain,
To see what can’t be seen,
Sages, saints, leaders and outlaws,
Influence, pollute, abstain.
The turkey has an off day,
The swan and pigment collide,
Flat, round, still, moving,
Feel ground beneath us sway.
I refute it thus,
But what is this?
Taxonomists categorise and Empiricists prove,
It’s nothing - of any fuss.
eSharp's 19th issue is themed Reality/Illusion. This issue collects number of articles that consider matters of fact and fiction, perception and imagination, as well as memory and recollection. We have included submissions from the social sciences, education, and the arts and humanities, focusing on history, literature, linguistics, film and theatre studies, and psychology. From American propaganda during the First World War to Swedish horror fiction, studies in language, translation, and encyclopaedic knowledge, to realism in fiction from Shakespeare to Aragonese film director Carlos Saura, we are very proud to present this issue that has inspired postgraduates from the United Kingdom, the United States, and Canada to submit a variety of work of such high standard.
eSharp continues to support and publish critical academic writing and provide opportunities for aspiring postgraduate authors to publish their work and acquaint themselves with the publication process. We welcome international and inter-disciplinary exchange of ideas, and emphasise the importance of the peer-review process for academic research.
