On the Way Isolated Words Point to the Allegorical Profundities of Richard the Third, Macbeth, “I wandered Lonely as a Cloud” and “The Pied Piper of Hamelin” by Robert Browning
The literary critic Barbara Melchiori once pointed out in connection with Robert Browning's Reticence that individual words - or verbal clues - point to levels of significance that lie below the surface of a narrative's literal meaning. let us consider the cases listed in the title of this paper.

Why are Robert Browning and Goethe to be compared? Both faced the same issue of acute self-consciousness in their early twenties and both discovered a similar answer to its challenge.
Much fiddling in the Ivory Tower while Rome Burns Let me say a word on the above rather odd title. There can be no doubt that it alludes to the popular notion that Nero indulged in lyrical pursuits while he viewed the fire that destroyed much of ancient Rome. Ivory towers belong to the domain of the Ivy League and similar august university locations. Combining these allusions, might we derive from the title the implication that academics could do more to apply their intelligence and their vast fund of wisdom to the problems that face humanity in a far from happy world? In earlier times prophets and poets could still claim an authority of divine origin, the authority of 'the Word. Unfortunately the absent consensus on the existence and the nature of such an authority prevents the wise of our day from claiming a divine warrant for their expostulations, whatever these might be. I limit my discussion to the coterie of scholars, experts, pundits and critics that occupy the domain of literary criticism. Those seeking to discover the modern equivalent of the Tower of Babel would do well to seek it here.-the perfect setting for dogmatic advocates of the most disparate and contentious points of view, finding perhaps only in the speakers at Hyde Park Corner true fellow spirits. On one matter they agree, shun anything suspiciously like a religious point of view in the course of interpreting works of literature. This aversion produces blind spots in a refusal to take seriously matters that most surely deserve serious scrutiny. see http://www.lulu.com/shop/julian-scutts/much-fiddling-in-the-ivory-tower-as-rome-burns/paperback/product-23686465.html
In this segment we take a close look at such poems as The Rime of the Ancient Mariner and Robert Browning's The Pied Piper of Hamelin with a view to discover the role of verbal clues based on cross and wander as pointers to fundamental but tacit themes of religious and philosophical significance within an overall 'allegorical' frame.

I would like to share a new novel of mine, the first part of a trilogy, to get some feedback from readers. The book is a work of what I call 'metaphysical realism', a genre that breaks down barriers often constrained by conventional plot mechanisms. Set in an inn in Andalusia, its three major characters explore and share the dimension of their individual worlds, Jewish, Christian, and Moslem. Part fable, part history, the reader must suspend his disbelief, and enter their fabulous realms. Eventually one will come upon the legendary Book of Kingdoms, a book within a book, that brings the three men together, and establishes the ground for Rose of Jericho and Road to Jerusalem, the subsequent books in the trilogy. I welcome any thoughts that reader might have. I am sure that John of Chester, Benjamin of Tudela, and Abu Said al-Hassan will entertain you with their stories. Join them on their snowbound weekend where the world is never what it seems
News from Nowhere, by William Morris NEWS FROM NOWHERE OR AN EPOCH OF REST BEING SOME CHAPTERS FROM A UTOPIAN ROMANCE BY News from Nowhere file
During an unseasonal blizzard on the plain of La Mancha in the year 12--, three gentlemen, all travelers, find themselves marooned for a few days in an inn, waiting for the storm to pass. Benjamin of Tudela, the Jewish proprietor of the inn, plays host to John of Chester, a Christian, and Abu Said al-Hassan from Moorish Spain. John of Chester is a copyist by profession who has spent his life wandering from one scriptorium to another throughout Europe in pursuit of work. In his possession is a book given to him by his father on his deathbed. The book, however, is unreadable due to the strange language in which it is written. He is on his way to Cordova in the hope of finding a translator. Benjamin of Tudela also possesses a book, one filled with the names of all the Jews he has met during his travels. Like John he has spent his life on the road, traveling throughout the Mediterranean region, into Arabia and beyond. Wherever he travels he gathers the names of his Jewish brethren in a bid to affirm the integrity of his people. Abu Said al-Hassan hails from a small town in southern Spain. He was schooled as a jurist and philosopher in Cordova, before beginning his travels to the East after an encounter with a mysterious personage known as Hakekit ibn al-Hayut. This man advised him to travel to Mecca and beyond in pursuit of an equally mysterious figure known as the ‘father’. Abu Said is on his way to Toledo to meet with Christian scholars in order to further his knowledge. To wile away their time together, the three men begin to tell one another stories gleaned from their travels. So unravels a Chaucerian journey throughout many countries on the part of these three learned gentlemen. Their tales are tales of richness and diversity as each attempts to outdo the other. Between them they weave a tapestry of stories for the guests in the inn. Each man is a seeker. They wish to discover for themselves the elixir of life. The reader is drawn into their struggle to realize a greater understanding in terms of their respective faiths. It becomes clear that, though of widely divergent beliefs, their stories are always the same. Men of the Book as they call themselves, are also men of tolerance and respect one another. Finally John of Chester produces his father’s book in the hope that his new friends might help him to unlock its secret. It is left to one of them to translate the text for him, and read it aloud to his friends. Suddenly the reader is confronted by a book-within-the-book, none other than the fabulous Book of Kingdoms, an ancient tale that manages to reveal new insights pertaining to the respective quests of the three men. In this novel East and West meet in a climate of mutual respect and trust. Snow may imprison them on the bleak plain of la Mancha, but the quality of their imaginations and their willingness to go to the very ‘ends of the earth’ in pursuit of wisdom and knowledge, frees them for the greatest and most dangerous adventures. They are truly both Watchers and Knowers, as the Book of Kingdoms intimates, men charged with the task of healing the ills of the world. Snow on the Camino Real is a novel filled with fabulous (but modern) stories from both East and West. Together the three men share with the reader a treasury of tales that echo its illustrious predecessors, Bunyan’s Pilgrims’ Progress and a Thousand and One Nights. The book reminds the reader that humanity itself is at stake, and is more precious than the issues that often divide us. The Prodigals and Outremer complete the trilogy of novels. The lives of the three characters continue as they return to their respective homelands as described in The Prodigals. We watch as John, Benjamin, and Abu Said come to terms with their age, and so pass on their wisdom to others. In the final book, Outremer, three new characters introduced in The Prodigals, that of Alan la Coche, the nephew of John of Chester and lord of the manor, Joaquin of Toledo, an urchin befriended by Benjamin on his way home to Zaragoza, and Omar ibn al-Hassan, the son of Abu Said, agree to meet for the first time in Jerusalem. Their respective journeys to the Holy City from Chester, Zaragoza, and Mecca underpin their time together in a palace in the Old City where they meet and converse. Between them they resolve all the unfinished issues of their forebears’ lives, and finally put to rest the mystery surrounding the Book of Kingdoms. We are left with a sense that a great spiritual journey has been completed by all the characters in these novels. Each man, in a consummate sense, has reached more than his final destination. Medieval Spain, the world of Europe’s scriptoriums, the bazaars of North Africa, sea-voyages, encounters with
