''Horae Canonicae'' is a series of poems by W. H. Auden written between 1949 and 1955. The title is a reference to the canonical hours of the Christian Church, as are the titles of the seven poems constituting the series: "Prime", "Terce", "Sext", "Nones", "Vespers", "Compline", and "Lauds". Each refers to a fixed time of the day for prayer. The canonical hours create a framework for the dramatization of Auden's religious position, which he described in a letter as "very much the same as Reinhold ()'s, i.e. Augustinian, not Thomist (I would allow a little more place, perhaps, for the ''Via Negativa''.) Liturgically, I am Anglo-Catholic...". "Prime" and "Nones" were first published in Auden's collection ''Nones'' (1951). ''Horae Canonicae'' was published as a unity in Auden's ''The Shield of Achilles'' (1955). == Notes == 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア(Wikipedia)』 ■ウィキペディアで「Horae Canonicae」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
