  2. Lokasenna - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lokasenna

    Lokasenna is believed to be a 10th-century poem. [3] Loki, amongst other things, accuses the gods of moralistic sexual impropriety, the practice of seiðr (sorcery), and bias. Not ostensibly the most serious of allegations, these elements are, however, said ultimately to lead to the onset of Ragnarök in the Eddic poem Völuspá.

    Definitely, one can see an "erotic anxiety" in the poem's opening lines as the word 'hate' is spoken: "Those lips that love's own hand did make / Breathed forth the sound that said 'I hate'" (Lines 1-2). Another building of an erotic anxiety is the steady list of body parts routinely named: lips, hand, heart, and tongue.

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sonnet_138

    The poem has also been argued to be biographical: many scholars have suggested Shakespeare used the poem to discuss his frustrating relationship with the Dark Lady, a frequent subject of many of the sonnets. (To note, the Dark Lady was definitely not Shakespeare's wife, Anne Hathaway.) The poem emphasizes the effects of age and the associated ...

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Liar_paradox

    If the liar is indeed lying, then the liar is telling the truth, which means the liar just lied. In "this sentence is a lie", the paradox is strengthened in order to make it amenable to more rigorous logical analysis. It is still generally called the "liar paradox" although abstraction is made precisely from the liar making the statement.
