Calamus (poems)
The "Calamus" poems are a cluster of poems in ''Leaves of Grass'' by Walt Whitman. These poems celebrate and promote "the manly love of comrades". Most critics believe that these poems are Whitman's clearest expressions in print of his ideas about homoerotic male love. Genesis and "Live Oak With Moss" The first evidence of the poems that were to become the "Calamus" cluster is an unpublished manuscript sequence of twelve poems entitled "Live Oak With Moss," written in or before spring 1859. These poems were all incorporated in Whitman's 1860 edition of ''Leaves of Grass'', but out of their original sequence. These poems seem to recount the story of a relationship between the speaker of the poems and a male lover. Even in Whitman's intimate writing style, these poems, read in their original sequence, seem unusually personal and candid in their disclosure of love and disappointment, and this manuscript has become central to arguments about Whitman's homoeroticism or homosexuality. ...

Kalamos
Kalamos ( grc, Κάλαμος, lit=reed, reed pen; la, Calamus) is a Greek mythological figure. He is son of Maiandros, the god of the Maeander river. Mythology A story in Nonnus's ''Dionysiaca'' tells about the love of two youths, Kalamos and Karpos, the son of Zephyrus and Chloris. Karpos drowned in the Meander river while the two were competing in a swimming contest. In his grief, Kalamos allowed himself to drown also. He was then transformed into a water reed, whose rustling in the wind was interpreted as a sigh of lamentation. Walt Whitman's "Calamus" poems in ''Leaves of Grass'' may have been inspired by this story. Etymology of the word Kalamos Similar words can be found in Sanskrit (कलम ''kalama'', meaning "reed" and "pen" as well as a type of rice), Hebrew (''kulmus'', meaning quill) and Latin (''calamus'') as well as the ancient Greek Κάλαμος (''Kalamos''). The Arabic word قلم ''qalam'' (meaning "pen" or "reed pen") is likely to have been borrowed fr ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

Calamus (DTP)
Calamus is a desktop publishing application, originally built for the Atari ST computer. The first version was released on July 1, 1987 by the former German software company DMC GmbH. It is also able to run under a built-in and transparent Atari emulator on Windows, or on other platforms such as Mac OS 9 and Mac OS X, using any available TOS emulator. Calamus is a software RIP application which generates high-quality output in any resolution. It was one of the first DTP applications supporting an own vector font format, notable for its support for automatic kerning even where adjacent characters are set in different fonts or at different sizes. Its high modularity offers features for almost every purpose in desktop publishing. Calamus also was one of the first DTP apps to support real virtual objects and frames, nondestructive vector masks, and editable PS/ PDF import. Its (adjustable) measurement base of 1/10,000mm allows accurate positioning of elements. Calamus was ported to ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Calamus (palm)
''Calamus'' is a genus of flowering plants in the palm family Arecaceae that are among several genera known as rattan palms. There are an estimated 400 species in this genus, all native to tropical and subtropical Asia, Africa, and Australia. Description They are dioecious, mostly leaf-climbing lianas with slender, reedy stems. To aid scrambling some species have evolved hooks on the underside of the midrib, or more commonly by modified "pinnae" or tendrils in the form of stout, backward-pointing spines. These stems may grow to lengths of 200 metres. The fruits of certain species, in particular ''Calamus draco'', produce a red resin known as "Dragon's blood".

Calamus Swamp
Calamus Swamp is a public preserve located from Circleville in Pickaway County, Ohio, United States. It has a natural kettle lake/wetland and is owned by the Columbus Audubon, the local chapter of Audubon. History Calamus Swamp includes the only known kettle lake in central Ohio that is naturally vegetated and undisturbed. The kettle lake was made in the last ice age by the glacier that covered 2/3 of Ohio. When Ada May Burke and Sally V. May received the land, they donated it to Columbus Audubon, who then converted the land into a public preserve. Plant Life According to the Columbus Audubon website, Calamus Swamp has a unique plant community. Because of the moist soil, trees such as the American Elm, Green Ash and, in places, Red and Silver maples can be found in the swamp forest. Animals Calamus Swamp has a wide range of birds and animals. Because the Scioto River is only away, the lake attracts many migrating water birds, such as ducks, geese, grebes, and othe ...
