Advertise on Hyperallergic with Nectar Ads MIAMI — The title of painter Jose Felix Perez's show at Swampspace, The Magic Hour, is an aureate retelling of the photogenic "golden hour," of which there are actually two: the hour after sunrise and the one before sunset, when the light is threaded like gold and casts the landscape as honeyed, hazy, and warm.

An example of considered diction with an aureate inflection occurs in the Scots couplet , and are aureate words. Aureate diction occurs in the noun phrase golden candle matutine, a circumlocution which stands for sun. The couplet can thus be translated as: up rose the sun with clear pure crystal light. Dunbar himself uses the term later in the same poem in a passage that employs the limits to expression topos.

The poem opens in formal, aureate style, with Dunbar declaring that, at dawn, he had a dream. : : : The mood quickly becomes scurrilous. Although he will never be explicitly named, John Damian appears in the dream and is described as having Turkish origins, : : : Damian is accused of having killed a cleric in Italy in order to acquire his habit and so impersonate him.

The pinnacle in writing from this time was in fact Douglas's Eneados (1513), the first full and faithful translation of an important work of classical antiquity into any Anglic language. Douglas is one of the first authors to explicitly identify his language as Scottis. This was also the period when use of Scots in poetry was at its most richly and successfully aureate. Dunbar's Lament for the Makaris (c.

Because of his powerful family connections and role in high public life, he is the best-documented of the early Scottish makars. Indeed, of poets in the British Isles before him, only the biography of Chaucer is as well documented or understood. All his literary work was composed before his 40th year while he was Provost of St Giles in Edinburgh. Douglas's literary work was composed in a highly polished Middle Scots, often aureate in style.

In Britain the distinctively Germanic spirit of Anglo Saxon prosody placed particular emphasis on elaborate, decorative and controlled use of strongly ornate language, such as in consistent and sustained alliteration, as exemplified by the anonymous Pearl Poet of North-West England. In Scotland this spirit continued through to the renaissance so that in Middle Scots diction the 15th and 16th century Makars achieved a rich and varied blend of characteristically Germanic Anglic features with newer Latinate and aureate language and principles.

In Victorian London, Henry Gordon Jago was the owner and Master of Ceremonies at The Palace Theatre, a position he held for over thirty years. Jago was a charismatic character, comically cowardly, categorically crowing, constantly cash crunched and always adept at ample amounts of aureate alliteration. In 1889, Jago employed a Chinese illusionist named Li H'sen Chang, who often used a ventriloquist dummy called Mr. Sin. Chang was actually serving a fugitive tyrant from the 51st Century named Magnus Greel and Mr. Sin was a psychopathic pig cyborg.

It occurs as part of a dream vision in which the makar is describing the army of goddesses he has witnessed alighting upon the earth: I would (attempt to) describe (the scene), but who could satisfactorily frame in verse the way in which all the fields were radiantly adorned by those white lilies (the landing army) that shone upwards into the sky? Not you, Homer, sublime as you were in writing, for all your faultlessly ornate diction; nor you, Cicero, whose sweet lips were so consistently lucid in rhetoric: your aureate tongues both (the Greek and the Roman) were not adequate to describe that vision in full.

Sir Edmund Chambers noted that "in a comparison between the best works of Matthew Arnold and that of his six greatest contemporaries ... the proportion of work which endures is greater in the case of Matthew Arnold than in any one of them."Chambers, 1933, p. 159. Chambers judged Arnold's poetic vision by > its simplicity, lucidity, and straightforwardness; its literalness ... ; the > sparing use of aureate words, or of far-fetched words, which are all the > more effective when they come; the avoidance of inversions, and the general > directness of syntax, which gives full value to the delicacies of a varied > rhythm, and makes it, of all verse that I know, the easiest to read > aloud.Chambers, 1933, p. 165.

Patrick Hume was introduced to the Scottish court, probably by his father as a member of the royal household, sometime before 1580. He rose to prominence as one of the household servants of the king, James VI. On 1 November 1590 he was made an ordinary gentleman of Anne of Denmark's bedchamber. a copy is held by National Records of Scotland GD158/2974. He became a Scottish warden of the Marches in 1591 and keeper of Tantallon Castle the following year. He is probably best known to history through his association with the Castalian Band, the group of court poets writing in Scots headed by the king in the 1580s and 1590s. Only two works by him are known, his first published poem, The Promine (1580), a hagiographical portrait of the king in aureate verse, and his contribution to The Flyting Betwixt Montgomerie and Polwart (c.1583), a poetic contest in which he proved himself a worthy opponent to Alexander Montgomerie.

The Golden Menagerie (Luath Press Ltd, 2004) :“Allan Cameron’s The Golden Menagerie is a work almost impossible to classify, although it is just possible to fit this marriage of fantastic invention and reflections on the human predicament and our times, not without a hint of autobiography, into the capacious container called ‘the novel’. In some ways it recalls the conversation pieces of Thomas Love Peacock, although the invention is more fantastic. Whatever we call it, it is consistently fascinating and readable, the work of a writer of high intelligence who has a stylish way with words.” Eric Hobsbawmilgarrulo, The Golden Menagerie , Retrieved 21 March 2013 :“Cameron’s work is neither deliberately obscure, nor is it solemn history or pompous tract á la Aleister Crowley. The Golden Menagerie treads, flies, chatters and barks that fine, aureate line between pretentiousness and patronization which is drawn from the fact that the author knows his stuff and relishes the ‘telling’ of it as though he were a reader coming across the work for the very first time.
