A Sultry Month by Alethea Hayter
August 12, 2019 at 7:48 pm	(Anglophilia, Art, London, Poetry)
One of my favorite books from the past few years is a nonfiction work entitled: A Sultry Month: Scenes of London Literary Life in 1846.
To begin with, Alethea Hayter's powers of description are formidable. They are shown in full spate in this passage, in which she brings the Duke of Wellington's annual Waterloo Banquet to vivid life:
The low sunset light of that fiercely hot day came in through the six westward-facing windows of the Waterloo Gallery, competing with the light of the serried candles in the candelabra of the huge silver-gilt Portuguese Service, crowded with dancing nymphs, allegorical figures of the Continents, camels, horses, scorpions, which stretched the whole length of the table. The colors were all fierce and bright–scarlet uniforms, shining white tablecloth, harsh yellow damask on the walls staring out between the crowded frames of the pictures captured in Joseph Bonaparte's carriage at the Battle of Vittoria.
There was gold and sheen everywhere–gilding on the doors and ceiling, shutters lines with looking-glass, epaulettes, decanters, medals, picture frames, chandeliers, everything glared and glittered….
A Sultry Month has a wonderful cast of characters: Robert Browning and Elizabeth Barrett, poets who against all odds made their love triumphant; John Keats, whose brief stay on Earth left us with much memorable verse; the Carlyles, Jane and Thomas, William Wordsworth, Charles Lamb and Mary Lamb – the list goes on. But perhaps the most memorable among them is a painter of whom I had not previously heard. His name is Benjamin Robert Haydon.
There is a genre of painting called history painting. The term refers not only to depictions of historical events but also to scenes from mythology and religion. The works were usually large, colorful, and action-packed. The Abduction of the Sabine Women (1635-1640) by Peter Paul Rubens is a good example:
By the nineteenth century, this type of subject matter was increasingly deemed outmoded, especially in England, where it had never really taken hold to begin with. But Benjamin Robert Haydon believed passionately in its relevance and its rightness. He worked steadily and, some would say, stubbornly to embody the best aspects of history painting in his own art.
In 1817, Haydon gave a dinner party which, over the years has achieved a unique sort of fame. In attendance at this gathering were all of the luminaries mentioned above: Keats, Wordsworth, the Lambs brother and sister, the Carlyles, and others. Haydon had two purposes in presenting this entertainment. He wanted to introduce young Keats to the venerable Wordsworth, and he wanted all the guests to see his rather fabulous, if somewhat bizarre, canvas entitled Christ Entering Jerusalem.
The bizarre aspect stems from the fact that Haydon has included small portraits of his present day friends in this work. If you look closely at the three men at the extreme right, you can see Wordsworth, Charles Lamb, and Keats. (I'm pretty sure that the figure with the slightly bowed head is Wordsworth.) Apparently other of Haydon's friends and acquaintances are also represented therein. Few of these individuals were particularly religious.
The occasion was a great success, at least in the eyes of the host. This is what he wrote about it later in his autobiography:
It was indeed an immortal evening. Wordsworth's fine intonation as he quoted Milton and Virgil, Keats' eager inspired look, Lamb's quaint sparkle of lambent humour, so speeded the stream of conversation, that in my life I never passed a more delightful time. All our fun was within bounds. Not a word passed that an apostle might not have listened to. It was a night worthy of the Elizabethan age, and my solemn Jerusalem flashing up by the flame of the fire, with Christ hanging over us like a vision, all made up a picture which will long glow upon
"that inward eye
Which is the bliss of solitude."
Haydon began writing his autobiography in 1839. He was still working on it at the time of his death in 1846. I think it quite marvelous that he quotes from "I Wandered Lonely as a Cloud," also known as "Daffodils," a poem written by his friend Wordsworth in 1804.
Portrait of Wordsworth by Benjamin Robert Haydon, 1842
Manuscript copy of "Daffodils," held at the British Museum
There are at least two other books about Haydon's "Immortal Dinner:" The Immortal Evening: A Legendary Dinner with Keats, Wordsworth, and Lamb by Stanley Plumly (2014), and The Immortal Dinner: A Famous Evening of Genius and Laughter in Literary London, 1817, by Penelope Hughes-Hallett (2002).
[A footnote, but an interesting one: Charles Lamb was a distinguished essayist. He is probably best remembered today for Tales of Shakespeare, on which he collaborated with his sister Mary. Mary was mentally unstable; in 1796, while experiencing a severe breakdown – what today we would probably call a psychotic break – she stabbed her mother to death with a kitchen knife. Charles remained devoted to his sister until his death in 1834. Peter Ackroyd's novel The Lambs of London vividly recreates the turbulent events surrounding this calamity.]
I was completely spellbound by A Sultry Month; I look forward to reading it again.
"How do you like to go up in a swing, / Up in the air so blue?"
July 3, 2019 at 8:05 pm	(Family, Poetry)
How do you like to go up in a swing,
Up in the air so blue?
Oh, I do think it the pleasantest thing
Ever a child can do!
Up in the air and over the wall,
Till I can see so wide,
Rivers and trees and cattle and all
Over the countryside—
Till I look down on the garden green,
Down on the roof so brown—
Up in the air I go flying again,
Up in the air and down!

The Marriage of Bacchus and Ariadne 1576/1577
Tintoretto's father was named Battista Comin. Because of his fearlessness in battle, he earned the nickname 'Robusti' – the Robust One. Upon completing his military service, he took up the profession of cloth dyer – tintore di panni. His son Jacopo thus became known by the diminutive, Tiintoretto.
Okay, so having gotten that out of the way….
The above art works are among my favorites from the National Gallery's spectacular exhibit. I was in the process of determining the date(s) of The Marriage of Bacchus and Ariadne when I chanced on a poem written about the painting by one Michael Field. Here it is:
The Ducal Palace at Venice
Dark sea-water round a shape
Hung about the loins with grape,
Hair the vine itself, in braids
On the brow—thus Bacchus wades
Through the water to the shore.
Strange to deck with hill-side store
Limbs that push against the tide ;
Strange to gird a wave-washed side
Foam should spring at and entwine—
Strange to burthen it with vine.
He has left the trellised isle,
Left the harvest vat awhile,
Left the Maenads of his troop,
Left his Fauns' midsummer group
And his leopards far behind,
By lone Dia's coast to find
Her whom Theseus dared to mock.
Queenly on the samphire rock
Ariadne sits, one hand
Stretching forth at Love's command.
Love is poised above the twain,
Zealous to assuage the pain
In that stately woman's breast ;
Love has set a starry crest
On the once dishonoured head ;
Love entreats the hand to wed,
Gently loosening out the cold
Fingers toward that hoop of gold
Bacchus, tremblingly content
To be patient, doth present.
In his eyes there is the pain
Shy, dumb passions can attain
In the valley, on the skirt
Of lone mountains, pine-begirt ;
Yearning pleasure such as pleads
In dark wine that no one heeds
Till the feast is ranged and lit.
But his mouth—what gifts in it !
Though the round lips do not dare
Aught to proffer, save a prayer.
Is he not a mendicant
Who has almost died of want ?
Through far countries he has roved,
Blessing, blessing, unbeloved ;
Therefore is he come in weed
Of a mortal bowed by need,
With the bunches of the grape
As sole glory round his shape :
For there is no god that can
Taste of pleasure save as man.
I had not heard of this particular poet and so set about doing further research. The facts came to light quite readily.
This is Michael Field:
Under this pseudonym, Katherine Harris Bradley (1846-1914), left, and her niece and ward Edith Emma Cooper (1862-1913) published numerous works of poetry and drama and kept a lengthy journal entitled Works and Days. More information on these two can be found on Wikipedia and on the Poetry Foundation site.
For me, one of the chief joys of the internet consists in discovering unexpected linkages like this.
And never fear – There's more Tintoretto to come…
Best of 2018, Four: Nonfiction, part two
December 27, 2018 at 2:03 pm	(Art, Best of 2018, Book review, books, Poetry)
So I'm getting ready to divide my 2018 nonfiction reading into neat categories, and I run into trouble right away. Some of these books are hard to pigeonhole: they're sort-of biographies, sort-of true crime – was there actually a crime? – and, well, you get the idea.
The only more or less conventional biography I read this year was Gainsborough: A Portrait, by James Hamilton. As is the case with the most engaging biographies, the life of this distinguished artist was set vividly within the context of his times.
Almost exactly ten years later, a well-dressed, brisk and persistent gentleman called on a friend of his in London. There was nobody at home, just the servant. On the table was a small landscape painting which caught the man's attention. He picked it up, looked at it closely, turned it over. 'Ruisdael improved,' he thought to himself. 'Warmer colouring, as truly drawn and painted as Ruisdael, but more spirited.' It was quite clear from the back of the canvas that this was a new, modern picture, not Dutch seventeenth century. The following conversation was published in 1772:
'James, where did your master get this picture?'
'At the auctioneers Langford's, sir, I have just brought it home.'
'Do you know whose it is?' 'My master's, sir.'
'Fool! I mean the painter.' There was a knock at the door. James let his master in.
'Who painted that picture?' demanded the visitor. 'Who do you think?' replied his friend. 'Don't know, tell me instantly!' 'Come, come – you are a judge of pictures, and a bit of a painter yourself. It's a gem, isn't it?'
The visitor was even more intrigued.
'You will like it so much more when I tell you it is painted by an artist who is unknown, unfollowed, and unencouraged.'
'What's his name?'
'Gainsborough.'

Oh, those trees!
Three fascinating women figure in this narrative: Emily Dickinson, Mabel Loomis Todd, the lover of Emily's brother Austin, and Millicent Todd Bingham, daughter of Mabel and her husband David Todd.
After Emily begins with Emily Dickinson's funeral.
"And in the spring, also rare Emily Dickinson died & went back into a little deeper mystery than that she has always lived in. The sweet spring days have something in all their tender beauty when she was carried through the daisies and buttercups across the summer fields to be in her flowered couch," Mabel later reflected in her journal. "It was a very great sorrow to Austin, but I have lived through greater with him, when little Gib [Austin's son] died. He and I are so one that we comfort each other for everything, perfectly."
There follows a furious nonstop battle over who owns the rights to her works. The story of the love affair of her brother and Mabel Loomis Todd is unexpected and remarkable. The fallout from it is significant, even profound. If you're wondering whether Emily knew, she did – and did and said nothing, apparently.
But over and above the events of the narrative hovers the restless spirit of that reclusive, brilliant poet:
Because I could not stop for Death –
He kindly stopped for me –
The Carriage held but just Ourselves –
And Immortality.
We slowly drove – He knew no haste
And I had put away
My labor and my leisure too,
For His Civility –
We passed the School, where Children strove
At Recess – in the Ring –
We passed the Fields of Gazing Grain –
We passed the Setting Sun –
Or rather – He passed Us –
The Dews drew quivering and Chill –
For only Gossamer, my Gown –
My Tippet – only Tulle –
We paused before a House that seemed
A Swelling of the Ground –
The Roof was scarcely visible –
The Cornice – in the Ground –
Since then – 'tis Centuries – and yet
Feels shorter than the Day
I first surmised the Horses' Heads
Were toward Eternity –
After Emily, by Julie Dobrow
November 25, 2018 at 4:29 pm	(Book review, books, Poetry)
After Emily is subtitled: Two Remarkable Women and the Legacy of America's Greatest Poet. The two women were Mabel Loomis Todd and her daughter Millicent Todd Bingham.
Yes, they were both remarkable. Although they strove relentlessly for the same goal – the publication in full of Emily Dickinson's poems and letters – their temperaments could not have been more unlike. Mabel Loomis Todd was ambitious, outspoken, and gifted in many areas of endeavor: art, writing, and music among them. In an era of almost Victorian restraint, she was unabashedly sensual. Finally, into the bargain, she was beautiful.
Author Julie Dobrow describes trips to far flung locales where Mabel's astronomer husband David Peck Todd made fruitless attempts to observe a total eclipse. (The skies invariably clouded over at the crucial moment.). But this is really an Amherst story. In 1881, David secured a position as astronomy professor at Amherst College. David and Mabel began socializing with the Dickinson family, who were prominent members of the community.
Emily Dickinson and her sister Lavinia lived at the Homestead, where they cared for their elderly, ailing mother until her death in 1882. Their brother Austin, his wife Susan, and their three children lived close by. When Mabel Loomis Todd and her husband David moved to Amherst, they rented a house not far from the Dickinson domiciles. Indeed, Amherst was a relatively small village; no one lived very far from anyone else.
This fact greatly facilitated the relationship between Mabel Loomis Todd and William Austin Dickinson. That relationship swiftly moved from friendship to love affair – a fervent bond only lightly concealed by Mabel and Austin. It continued, only growing in intensity for nearly thirteen years, up until Austin's death in 1895.
Mabel's husband David was among those who knew about the affair. He was the epitome of the complaisant spouse, allowing his wife and her lover plenty of space in which to pursue their desires. Not so Austin's wife. Susan Dickinson was the very epitome of the Woman Scorned. Her fury extended well beyond Austin's death. It had a perverse and lasting effect on efforts to make the poetry and letters of Emily Dickinson available to the reading public.
In fact it is the story of those efforts, doggedly pursued by Mabel and then taken up by her daughter Millicent, that takes up the bulk of this narrative, particularly its latter half. It is a very complex tale, involving copyright and other legal issues. At times, it was hard not to get bogged down. Yet I was held, especially by the depiction of the strange complexity of the relationship between Mabel and Millicent, a rapport not helped by the fact that the latter was left in the care of her distant grandparents for long stretches of time. Like her mother, Millicent had a restless, brilliant intellect; among her many achievements, she was the first woman to obtain a doctorate in geology and geography from Harvard University. Unlike her mother, she was of a conservative bent. It took her a long time to fully come to terms with Mabel's and Austin's connection to each other. But eventually she became reconciled to its truth, even its legitimacy.
On the surface, Millicent Todd Bingham would seem less interesting than her colorful, flamboyant, and strong willed mother. Yet in a way, Millicent is the more admirable of the two, seeing the value of Mabel's quest, adopting as her own, and ultimately seeing through to completion.
Finally, one comes full circle, returning to the wellspring of this somewhat tortured narrative, to the elusive, reclusive genius that was Emily Dickinson. Of the many poems that I am familiar with, this is the one that haunts me the most:
After great pain, a formal feeling comes –
The Nerves sit ceremonious, like Tombs –
The stiff Heart questions 'was it He, that bore,'
And 'Yesterday, or Centuries before'?
The Feet, mechanical, go round –
A Wooden way
Of Ground, or Air, or Ought –
Regardless grown,
A Quartz contentment, like a stone –
This is the Hour of Lead –
Remembered, if outlived,
As Freezing persons, recollect the Snow –
First – Chill – then Stupor – then the letting go –

"'What species of utterance is this?'"
August 30, 2016 at 11:43 pm	(Anglophilia, Poetry)
On Saturday August 27, this letter appeared in the Washington Post:
While reading the first paragraph of Michael Dirda's review of Edwin Greenwood's "The Deadly Dowager" ["The largely forgotten mystery that should be in your beach bag," Style, Aug. 18], I slipped the sordid and mundane bonds of the present. The distant life of ideas, which brings solace and meaning to a brutish world, peeked for a moment over the dark horizon like an unannounced sunrise.
Most of us leave that life behind when we leave school. We forget about poetry and literature and lofty thoughts; we forget how much they lighten the load of being and bring order to chaos; we become poorer.
For a few moments, I felt rich and young again. "What species of utterance is this?" Ode or elegy, it is the only one that lasts.
Thanks go to Dirda for that tiny glance back to the ivory tower, a relic of which I still carry near my heart.
Lynn Peterson Mobley, Great Falls
My first thought was that the phrase "the sordid and mundane bonds of the present" had a familiar ring. It put me in mind of Ronald Reagan. Research took me to Reagan's address to the nation on the occasion of the Challenger tragedy. The President concluded that speech with the following words:
The crew of the space shuttle Challenger honored us by the manner in which they lived their lives. We will never forget them, nor the last time we saw them, this morning, as they prepared for their journey and waved goodbye and "slipped the surly bonds of earth" to "touch the face of God."
Those phrases are taken from a poem entitled "High Flight" by John Gillespie Magee:
Oh! I have slipped the surly bonds of earth
Sunward I've climbed, and joined the tumbling mirth
Of sun-split clouds – and done a hundred things
You have not dreamed of – wheeled and soared and swung
High in the sunlit silence. Hov'ring there,
I've chased the shouting wind along, and flung
My eager craft through footless halls of air.
Up, up the long, delirious, burning blue
I've topped the wind-swept heights with easy grace
Where never lark, or even eagle flew –
And, while with silent lifting mind I've trod
John Gillespie Magee June 9, 1922 – December 11, 1941
Reagan's address on that terrible occasion was a model of grace and clarity. The story of how it came to be written – under pressure and at a moment of extreme urgency – is quite interesting. It made a star out of the (young and inexperienced) woman from whose pen it issued.
As for Lynn Peterson Mobley's letter, I am in awe of the beauty of expression that she summoned therein. I could not agree with her more about "poetry and literature and lofty thoughts." I too had a college experience in which those values were paramount. At Goucher College, I was fortunate enough as an English major to have world class professors to teach and inspire me:
Professor William Hedges on American Literature
Professor William Mueller on Existentialism
Professor Brooke Peirce on Shakespeare and poetry of the English Enlightenment
Decades later, I remain deeply thankful for this experience.
The poetry that resonates most deeply with me right now (as I seek for ways to return to Great Britain) is A.E. Housman's A Shropshire Lad.
Into my heart an air that kills
From yon far country blows:
What are those blue remembered hills,
What spires, what farms are those?
That is the land of lost content,
I see it shining plain,
The happy highways where I went
And cannot come again.
I've read two novels entitled An Air That Kills. One is the first entry in Andrew Taylor's fine Lydmouth series; the other is by Margaret Millar.
Having traveled to Shropshire and the incredibly beautiful Welsh border country in 2011, I gained a vivid appreciation of how much A Shropshire Lad means to the British people. While in a bookshop in one of the towns we passed through, I bought a beautiful new edition of the poem.
Is My Team Ploughing
By A. E. Housman
"Is my team ploughing,
That I was used to drive
And hear the harness jingle
When I was man alive?"
Ay, the horses trample,
The harness jingles now;
No change though you lie under
The land you used to plough.
"Is football playing
Along the river shore,
With lads to chase the leather,
Now I stand up no more?"
Ay the ball is flying,
The lads play heart and soul;
The goal stands up, the keeper
Stands up to keep the goal.
"Is my girl happy,
That I thought hard to leave,
And has she tired of weeping
As she lies down at eve?"
Ay, she lies down lightly,
She lies not down to weep:
Your girl is well contented.
Be still, my lad, and sleep.
"Is my friend hearty,
Now I am thin and pine,
And has he found to sleep in
A better bed than mine?"
Yes, lad, I lie easy,
I lie as lads would choose;
I cheer a dead man's sweetheart,
Never ask me whose.
The Poetry Foundation site has an excellent biography of Housman.
Alfred Edward Housman 1859-1936
This edition of A Shropshire Lad was published by Merlin Unwin Books in 2009 on the occasion of 150th anniversary of the poet's birth.
I like the short commentary on the Naxos Audiobook site:
In A Shropshire Lad, A.E. Housman recreates a nostalgic world of lost love, lost youth, thwarted friendships, unfaithful girls, male bonding, untimely death and the uncertain glories of being a soldier. The poems deal with the exuberance of youth – its aspirations and disappointments, its naïve certainties and tragic mistakes. Though written in 1895, it struck a chord with the generation of young men who fought in World War I. It was said that every 'Tommy' had a copy in his knapsack. It has never been out of print.
True crime research: discoveries made along the way
February 15, 2015 at 3:33 pm	(Poetry, True crime)
Internet Archive maintains a digitized (and searchable) pulp magazine archive:
Google Books has digitized some interesting (and quite old) titles, such as The Record of Crime in the United States and The Triumphe of God's Revenge Against the Crying and Execrable Sin of Murther.
In an interview with The Library of America, publisher of True Crime: An American Anthology, Harold Schechter refers to a poem by Emily Dickinson called "One need not be a Chamber to be Haunted"
One need not be a Chamber—to be Haunted—
One need not be a House—
The Brain has Corridors—surpassing
Material Place—
Far safer, of a Midnight Meeting
External Ghost
Than its interior Confronting—
That Cooler Host.
Far safer, through an Abbey gallop,
The Stones a'chase—
Than Unarmed, one's a'self encounter—
In lonesome Place—
Ourself behind ourself, concealed—
Should startle most—
Assassin hid in our Apartment
Be Horror's least.
The Body—borrows a Revolver—
He bolts the Door—
O'erlooking a superior spectre—
Once again I am stunned by the brilliance and audacity of Dickinson – but should I be? This is, after all, the woman who wrote "My Life had stood – a Loaded Gun -"
My Life had stood – a Loaded Gun –
In Corners – till a Day
The Owner passed – identified –
And carried Me away –
And now We roam in Sovreign Woods –
And now We hunt the Doe –
And every time I speak for Him
The Mountains straight reply –
And do I smile, such cordial light
Opon the Valley glow –
It is as a Vesuvian face
Had let it's pleasure through –
And when at Night – Our good Day done –
I guard My Master's Head –
'Tis better than the Eider Duck's
Deep Pillow – to have shared –
To foe of His – I'm deadly foe –
None stir the second time –
On whom I lay a Yellow Eye –
Or an emphatic Thumb –
Though I than He – may longer live
He longer must – than I –
For I have but the power to kill,
Without – the power to die –
For me, the meaning of this poem is somewhat opaque, yet there is no mistaking the power of those last two lines.
Before I close, some words of praise for Harold Schechter: Not all academics write in a way that is appealing and accessible to the common reader. Harold Schechter can and does. His writing is a felicitous combination of erudition, grace, and wit
And so here I am, down to the wire in regard to "Stranger Than Fiction: The Literature of True Crime." I'm teaching this class for Osher at Johns Hopkins University, a lifelong learning institute with three campus locations in this region. Fortunately, one of them is right here in Howard County. (Click here to view the course catalog that includes the course to be taught by Yours Truly.)
I feel as though it's taken a veritable army of supporters to assist me in this endeavor. Thanks to Pauline for recruiting me and offering me constant help and encouragement. Deep gratitude is due my husband for helping with the technology. Classroom teaching has undergone a quiet revolution in that sphere since my absence from the scene, and I've had to learn a great deal in a relatively short time span. Ron has been the most tireless and patient of teachers.
Barring any weather-related problems, I make my 'debut' tomorrow morning. Wish me luck.
Irish Evening 2011 surpasses expectations
February 20, 2011 at 4:09 am	(books, Local interest (Baltimore-Washington), Music, Poetry)
In his introductory remarks, His Excellency Michael Collins, Ireland's ambassador to the U.S., spoke of the current economic difficulties in his native land. The situation, he emphasized, makes the riches of his country's culture all the more essential. Great music and literature provide a needed solace, a sense of identity, and hope for the future.
Take that, those of you who would slash funding for the arts! (Sorry – I just couldn't help myself.)
Ambassador Collins made mention of an initiative aimed at promoting the culture of the Emerald Isle on these shores. It's called Imagine Ireland: A Year of Irish Arts in America 2011. He then introduced this evening's distinguished speaker, whose name I finally know how to pronounce. (It's Collum Toe-bean, for the phonetically challenged.)
Colm Toibin chose "Two Women," from The Empty Family, to read to his audience Although it does not seem so at the outset, this is actually a love story, and a deeply moving one. I had already read it, and was delighted that Toibin had chosen it. He prefaced the reading by recounting of a true life experience involving his acquaintance with an actor. The love story involves an actor and a film set designer, and this gem of the tale originated in an actual incident that was related to the author by someone he knew. The story "Silence," in the same anthology, depicts Henry James gleaning material for his fiction in much the same way. Toibin mentioned the fact that James took the bare outline of a situation involving two orphaned children and their governess living in a remote country house – a story told to him by the Archbishop of Canterbury in 1895 – and fashioned it into one of the most disturbing, not to mention terrifying, works of literature ever to see print: The Turn of the Screw.
I am reminded of this passage from Selina Hastings's biography of Somerset Maugham:
Maugham's attitude to James's work over the years was to grow increasingly equivocal, a mixture of impatience and admiration, impatience with what he saw as a lack of that empathy essential to a novelist and admiration for a superb technique. "The great novelists, even in seclusion, have lived life passionately," Maugham wrote. "Henry James was content to observe it from a window."
Still, he saw plenty from that window…
Toibin's reading was followed by an intermission. And now it was time for music, dancing, and poetry. The music was provided by the Narrowbacks, formerly known as Celtic Thunder
Left to right: Jesse Winch, Tony DeMarco, Terry Winch, Linda Hickman, Dominick Murray. Photo by Judy Bodman.
The above photo was taken in 2005. The composition of the group has changed somewhat since then. Tony DeMarco and Dominick Murray did not play Friday night. Singer and instrumentalist Eileen Korn Estes and fiddler Brendan Mulvihill performed in their stead.
First row, left to right: Terry Winch, Brendan Mulvihill, and Jesse Winch. Above, Linda Hickman and Eileen Korn Estes
As always, the Narrowbacks made great music. And oh, the dancers from the Culkin School!
Back to the Narrowbacks. Terry Winch is not only an instrumentalist and songwriter, but a poet as well. (He and Jesse are brothers.) One of his songs, "When New York was Irish," has apparently become something of a standard in the Irish music repertoire:
At the Irish Evening celebration, Terry customarily reads aloud several of his poems. They can be somber, but seem more often to be gently ironic, even whimsical:
No one is safe. The streets are unsafe.
even in the safety zones, it's not safe.
Even safe sex is not safe.
Even things you lock in a safe
are not safe. Never deposit anything
in a safety deposit box, because it
won't be safe there. Nobody is safe
at home during baseball games anymore.
At night I go around in the dark
locking everything, returning
a few minutes later
to make sure I locked
everything. It's not safe here.
It's not safe and they know it.
People get hurt using safety pins.
It was not always this way.
Long ago, everyone felt safe. Aristotle
never felt danger. Herodotus felt danger
only when Xerxes was around. Young women
were afraid of wing'd dragons, but felt
relaxed otherwise. Timotheus, however,
was terrified of storms until he played
one on the flute. After that, everyone
was more afraid of him than of the violent
west wind, which was fine with Timotheus.
Euclid, full of music himself, believed only
that there was safety in numbers.
The poems he read Friday night were from the collection Boy Drinkers. I loved them and am buying the book.
"Deep shadows were gathering in the valleys between the hills, and the slanting rays of the setting sun illuminated Wenlock Edge, some miles distant." – Appointed To Die, by Kate Charles
January 29, 2011 at 8:28 pm	(Anglophilia, Book review, books, Music, Mystery fiction, Poetry)
Appointed To Die is the second in the Book of Psalms series by Kate Charles. The protagonist, Lucy Kingsley, is an artist. Although living in London, she's frequently in Malbury where her father Canon John Kingsley serves as priest at Malbury Cathedral. (Charles locates the fictional Malbury near the actual cathedral city of Hereford, close to the Welsh border.) One is immediately apprised of the tension and discord arising among the individuals and groups attached in various ways to the cathedral. For instance, Rowena Hunt, head of Friends of the Cathedral, has her eye on architect Jeremy Bartlett. But Jeremy has eyes only for Lucy Kingsley. Then there's Subdean Arthur Brydges-ffrench, who aspires to fill the vacant post of Dean of Malbury Cathedral. Brydges-ffrench is a known quantity at Malbury, and deeply respected. Yet it is doubtful that his dream will become a reality. In conversation with Lucy, Jeremy Bartlett partially illuminates the difficulty with this assessment of the man:
'He has an utterly perverse antiquarian mind. You know the sort I mean–adores crossword puzzles and obscure theological riddles. He was a chorister here himself, back in the thirties. And if he had his way, we'd all do things exactly the way they were done then.'
It did not take long for This Reader to experience a distinct sensation of deja vu. Why, we're in Trollope country! Sure enough, the first allusion appears on page 21. When Jeremy tells Lucy that he's a cellist, she responds, "Shades of Barchester….Mr. Harding and his cello." Anthony Trollope's Chronicles of Barsetshire consists of six novels:
I've read Barchester Towers, Doctor Thorne, and Framley Parsonage. They were all three wonderful. It's been a while, but I recall Framley Parsonage as a delightful comedy of manners, Doctor Thorne as an engrossing love story, and Barchester Towers as…well, a work of genius, right up there in the pantheon of the great Victorian novels of nineteenth century Britain.
As in days of old, so it is in Malbury: gossip and innuendo abound in the claustrophobic world of the cathedral close. Still, it's just business as usual until Stuart Latimer, the newly appointed Dean, makes his grand entrance, attended by his tony, well-connected wife – she who refers to the local people as "rustics!' – along with various other London luminaries. Then the level of conflict and intrigue is ratcheted upward toward the stratosphere!
One bone of contention in Malbury concerns a music festival recently put on by the cathedral community. This impetus for this event was provided by Canon Brydges-ffrench; as Jeremy explains, "'He's never been able to stand being excluded from the Three Choirs Festival.'" I was delighted by this mention of a festival that has intrigued me ever since I learned that Ralph Vaughan Williams was there in 1910 to conduct the premiere of "Fantasia on a Theme by Thomas Tallis." I was about to start rhapsodizing on the otherworldly gorgeousness of this music, its quintessential Englishness…but, well, just listen, while you feast your eyes on Devon's River Torridge and its wildlife:
I was struck by the essential integrity of this beautifully written novel:, in the believability of its characters, with their all-too-human mix of good intentions and perverse impulses, the sense of impending crisis that keeps the reader fully engaged in the narrative, the unceasing war between spiritual aspirations and the baser instincts, the striving for beauty in art, music, and worship – just the sheer depth of feeling that resonates throughout.
When the untimely death of one of their own shocks the cathedral community, its grief-stricken members look to Canon John Kingsley for consolation. Ina stirring and eloquent sermon, he gives them what they crave. Afterward, Lucy asks him how he knew just what to say, and he responds:
'…the best way I can describe it is like a gramophone record, with God at the center. The center is still, but the record spins around, and the farther you are from the center the faster you spin. That's what I was doing earlier, spinning around the outside of the gramophone record, trying to make sense of it all on my own terms. But when I got up to speak I let God carry me toward the center, and the nearer I got the more certain I was the He was in control. There's tremendous peace in letting go like that.'
Appointed To Die came out in 1994, but in this passage Canon Kingsley's diction seems antiquated, belonging to an earlier era. The analogy to an LP record put me in mind of John Donne's poem "A Valediciton Forbidding Mourning:"
AS virtuous men pass mildly away,
And whisper to their souls to go,
Whilst some of their sad friends do say,
"Now his breath goes," and some say, "No."
So let us melt, and make no noise,
No tear-floods, nor sigh-tempests move ;
'Twere profanation of our joys
To tell the laity our love.
Moving of th' earth brings harms and fears ;
Men reckon what it did, and meant ;
But trepidation of the spheres,
Though greater far, is innocent.
Dull sublunary lovers' love
—Whose soul is sense—cannot admit
Of absence, 'cause it doth remove
The thing which elemented it.
But we by a love so much refined,
That ourselves know not what it is,
Inter-assurèd of the mind,
Care less, eyes, lips and hands to miss.
Our two souls therefore, which are one,
Though I must go, endure not yet
A breach, but an expansion,
Like gold to aery thinness beat.
If they be two, they are two so
As stiff twin compasses are two ;
Thy soul, the fix'd foot, makes no show
To move, but doth, if th' other do.
And though it in the centre sit,
Yet, when the other far doth roam,
It leans, and hearkens after it,
And grows erect, as that comes home.
Such wilt thou be to me, who must,
Like th' other foot, obliquely run ;
Thy firmness makes my circle just,
And makes me end where I begun.
One of the reason that I chose the quotation in this post's title is that there is a song by Ralph Vaughan Williams entitled "On Wenlock Edge." I did not know what Wenlock Edge actually was, but as usual, Wikipedia enlightened me: "Wenlock Edge is a limestone escarpment near Much Wenlock, Shropshire, England." (Click here for the complete entry.)
Jack Mytton Way, near Rushbury, Wenlock Edge, Shropshire
The composer took for his text this poem by A.E. Housman, from the cycle of poems, A Shropshire Lad:
On Wenlock Edge the wood's in trouble
His forest fleece the Wrekin heaves;
The gale, it plies the saplings double,
And thick on Severn snow the leaves.
'Twould blow like this through holt and hanger
When Uricon the city stood:
'Tis the old wind in the old anger,
But then it threshed another wood.
Then, 'twas before my time, the Roman
At yonder heaving hill would stare:
The blood that warms an English yeoman,
The thoughts that hurt him, they were there.
There, like the wind through woods in riot,
Through him the gale of life blew high;
The tree of man was never quiet:
Then 'twas the Roman, now 'tis I.
It blows so hard, 'twill soon be gone:
To-day the Roman and his trouble
Are ashes under Uricon.
I know the Severn is a river, but I did not know that it is Great Britain's longest. (There is also a Severn River in Anne Arundel County Maryland, just east of where we currently reside.)
I was well and truly puzzled by "Wrekin" and "Uricon." The Wrekin, Shropshire's 15th highest peak, turns out to be a distinctive landmark with a fascinating history. (The BBC has more on this subject.) ""Uricon" was harder to find. The word is actually a variant of "Viroconium Cornoviorum," which is the name of an old Roman town found in Shropshire.
Finally, here is Ian Bostridge singing and discussing "On Wenlock Edge" and "Is My Team Ploughing?" (the latter also based on a poem from A Shropshire Lad).

Football games have been in existence ever since video games have, and each year more and more realistic ones have been developed. You can now play a football management game, play video games where you are controlling the players in a match or even play football slot games like Soccer Safari. But with all the various games out there, it can be slightly confusing as to where to start when looking to enjoy the best on offer. So here are few that we would strongly recommend.
Pro Evolution has always been seen as the competition to Fifa and always seemed to fall short, but with this release things seemed to change in their favour. PES 2017 saw a slower, more though out version of the game, with a lot more focus on neat build up play and a glorious sense of satisfaction when you unlock the opposition defence. PES 2017 is available on Playstation 4, Xbox One, Playstation 3, Xbox 360 and also PC. This game is for real football lovers, the ball will go exactly where you aim and exactly at the speed you specify, one for the purists.
Fifa 10 was the first game in the Fifa series that finally set the game ahead of everyone else in the market. This was the first time they introduced 360 degree player control and did so in an expert manner, you could now send a perfectly timed slide rule pass through to a striker to run onto. This game also features a lot of game modes, including Be a Pro, Ultimate team and manager mode. This was a more complete footballing experience than the gaming world had ever seen before.
When Sports Interactive parted ways with Eidos they lost the 'Championship Manager' brand. This didn't stop them continuing to create amazing football management games though. This edition of the game is possibly the greatest one that has been released and was the first one to have a 3D engine that means you could choose to watch every event of a game. The manager press conference was first introduced in Football Manager 2011, which added even more detail to a game already allowing teams from 117 leagues to be virtually manager.
This version of Championship Manager was so addictive and became famously associated with the phrase 'Just one more game' and is seen as the daddy of football management games. Unlike the newer games you didn't have to spend hours setting training schedules and answering questions in press conferences before getting to actually play a match. If you pressed the space bar enough times you could also complete several seasons a day and complete a career in a week.

Q: What blocks can Mobs/The Player spawn on? I was wondering what specific blocks a mob can spawn on, and which ones they can't. I know that block "opacity" and "transparency" have a part to play, but not all of these rules apply properly.
Can someone generate a list of all the blocks a mob (and if there is a difference between hostile/passive mob) can spawn on?
Is there any restriction for a player?

A: A player can spawn on any solid block which is not affected by gravity and is below the sky, so there are no blocks above it.
Animals spawn on grass or dirt exclusively (block id 2 and 3). They also require a light level above 9 and at least 2 blocks of air above them. Exception is the bat, which spawns on opaque blocks if the light level is below 9.
Skeletons, Zombies, and Creepers can spawn on any opaque block if the light level is below 7. Exception are mobs in the nether, which can spawn on netherrack, no matter what the light level is.
Opaque blocks include:
1      --> Stone
1:1    --> Granite
1:2    --> Polished Granite
1:3    --> Diorite
1:4    --> Polished Diorite
1:5    --> Andesite
1:6    --> Polished Andesite

159:15 --> Black Stained Clay
179    --> Red Sandstone
179:1  --> Smooth Red Sandstone
179:2  --> Chiseled Red Sandstone

I hope I didn't forget any, if I did, feel free to add them.

A: All transparent blocks, with the exception of slime blocks, redstone blocks, and active redstone ore (when glowing after being hit), cannot be spawned upon.
A full list of the transparent blocks that no monsters spawn on:
Furnace (when active)
Glass
Glowstone
Ice
Jack o'Lantern
Leaves (Fancy graphics)
Piston (Retracted)
Redstone Lamp (when active)
Redstone Ore (when active)

Water
End Portal Frame
Mob Spawner

Exceptions that are both transparent and spawnable upon:
Block of Redstone
Hopper
Slime

Also other notable exceptions:
Slabs not aligned with the top of the block-space (normal) cannot be a spawning are. Slabs aligned with the top/double slabs can be spawned upon.
Right-side-up stairs (stair side up) cannot be spawned upon, upside down one can (flat side up).

A: Been testing on creative, MC 1.10.
Tested the tranparent blocks list above and so far Jack-o-lanterns will spawn mobs. AFAIK, Jack-o's aren't transparent anyhow. They just behave differently. They also emit a light level of 14 (?) so in the overworld, hostiles wont spawn?
Add to lists of spawnable blocks: Pistons (sticky or otherwise, retracted or extended), and string
Spawn through blocks (mobs don't spawn on them but they can spawn through them, i.e. on the block said block is on.): Signs, Torches
(Test are in nether, above bedrock, at highest level, or at least 2 blocks below that coz there's no light in 256)

The Hike: This trail system is right in The Lodges backyard! It is a mellow, well maintained trail that winds through larch forest. One of the popular destinations on this trail is Gus, the largest larch tree in the country, estimated at 1,000 years old.
Directions: From The Lodges go North on Boy Scout Rd 100 yards take a left onto Lars Kramen Rd. There is a trail on the Right. The trail ends at Seeley Lake Campground.
The Hike: The Morell Falls trail is a 2.3 mile hike into the Lolo National Forest. This is a fairly easy day hike that really doesn't have any steep grades to it. The trail leads through tightly spaced stands of Lodgepole Pine, past the 23 acre Morrell Lake and onto to a series of waterfalls. Towards the end of the trail you wind around a marsh, then you hear the falls. Just past an old growth timber stand, it opens up into a small clearing and 90 foot Morrell Falls.
Directions: From Seeley Lake drive north ¼ of a mile to Cottonwood Lakes Road (FR 447). Take the first left at the fork then go 2 miles to West Morrell Road (FR 467). Turn north for 7 miles to Pyramid Pass Road. Drive only a ¼ mile north to Morrell Falls Road (FR 4369). Turn north again one mile to the trailhead.
The Hike: The trailhead for 1.5 mile long Holland Falls National Recreation Trail starts at the end of Holland Lake Road. At the start of TR 416 you walk through mixed stands of Western Larch, Ponderous Pine and Red Fir, viewing an unbelievable Holland Lake, that's so serene, so beautiful. At almost a mile the trail starts to climb at a steady grade up rocky slopes. A little further along you will come to a footbridge, crossing a small, sparkling mountain brook. Hiking another couple hundred yards up the trail, along the mountainside, you come to some rock outcropping giving panoramic views of the Swan Valley, Swan Mountain Range and the Mission Mountains. Hearing the falls now, you only hike a little a short distance before seeing the striking sight of Holland Falls.
Directions: Travel from Seeley Lake north on Montana Highway 83 for 20 miles Holland Lake Road. Turn east on the gravel Holland Lake Road 2.9 miles to Larch Loop Campground and past another 3/4 of a mile to the Bay Loop Compound turn-in where the trailhead starts.
The Hike: A moderate 4 mile round trip hike. It begins with a hike through beargrass fields, then you descend the west side of the ridge, traversing through ponderosa and fir trees. You come down to the green lush drainage and come up on crystal lake. At the base of the enormous Mission Mountains. This lake lives up to its name, crystal clear and crisp high alpine lake. Day hike or overnight backpack experience.
Directions: Travel north from Seeley Lake 15 miles until you read Lindbergh Lake Road. Take a right turn on USFS Road 79. Its is about 12 miles to the trailhead.


The US federal government is incredibly hypocritical and deceiving/scamming the public. They push the false narrative of global warming, while at the same time, not really taking steps that would counteract global warming, if it was in fact really occurring. They are invading Sovereign Nations to continue the petro/oil monopoly, why ignoring other areas of the world and identities that are destroying the environment, like what's happening with the rain forest. I'm personally not a believer in global warming, but I believe in moving towards Green Technology. Not because of global warming, but because I want to end the petro/oil monopoly of big oil and these politicians that are beholden to their agenda, and committing war crimes against humanity. And of course, I'm against cutting down the rain forest, and damaging our environment.
The government has brainwashed people into thinking that they are doing something about our carbon footprint, and reckless practices in relationship to our environment, but really, they're just making huge amounts of money off taxes, while simultaneously empowering big oil and going to war for big oil, and the petrodollar monopoly. And that includes every president in modern history. None of them have taken any real significant steps in moving towards Green Technology and ending the petro/oil monopoly, or stopping entities around the world from destroying the environment, such as what's happening to the rain forest.
Carbon dioxide absorbs all radiation available to it in about ten meters. More CO2 only shortens the distance, which is not an increase in temperature. In other words, the first 20% of the CO2 in the air does most of what CO2 does, and it doesn't do much.
CO2 produces a warming effect not by soaking up the radiation in its immediate vicinity, like a sponge, but by raising the effective radiating level of the atmosphere to a colder layer.
The atmosphere doesn't act as a single unit, but is made up of hundreds of different layers. Some of the energy radiated from Earth is stopped in each of these layers. The energy is then re-radiated in a random direction, but on average the energy is moving either "up" or "down." The atmosphere gets thinner as altitude increases, so eventually the radiation will reach a layer high enough and thin enough to escape to space.
If you increase the concentrations of a greenhouse gas in the atmosphere, the thin upper layers will become more opaque and thus absorb more of the IR; therefore, the place where the majority of the energy finally escapes moves to a higher level. These higher levels are much colder (until you reach the stratosphere, but as most infrared photons escaping to space are emitted by the troposphere, this can be ignored), and so they do not radiate heat very well. Thus, the rate that radiation escapes to space is lower, and the planet will take in more than it radiates. As the higher levels emit some of the excess downwards, the lower levels will warm all the way down to the surface. The imbalance will remain until the higher levels get hot enough to radiate as much energy back out as the planet is receiving.
Co2 does not hold in heat. The public is being misled through propaganda to assume CO2 is like a sheet of plastic holding in heat. CO2 can only absorb 8% of radiation frequencies available (No one disputes this.), and only about 1% of the heat leaves the earth as radiation, the other 99% being conduction, convection and evaporation. Night vision equipment shows there is very little infrared radiation given off by normal temperature matter.
All of the energy flowing from Earth to space is necessarily in the form of electromagnetic radiation. Earth is floating in a vacuum, making it physically impossible for it to lose energy through conduction or convection. So, while much of the energy moving across the planet's surface is not in the form of radiation, it is the only form of energy important in determining the planet's temperature, the planet's temperature being determined by the ratio of the flux of outgoing terrestrial radiation to the flux of incoming solar radiation.
Also, carbon dioxide is an effective absorber in the infrared spectrum. Due to its temperature, Earth radiates energy primarily in the infrared spectrum. So, while carbon dioxide may fill a small absorptive window, it fills a very important one.
And don't forget CO2 is a heavy gas. Being one of the heaviest gas molecules in the atmosphere. CO2 stays low, hugging the ground and allowing plants to photosynthesize. It's not staying in the atmosphere like what the propagandist artist have convinced the population.

Back to basics for the last model of the year!

When thinking of the people who inspire me the most, my parents immediately come to mind before anyone else. From a mother who is her son's heroine, to the son who is his mother's world, everyone can be a hero.
Folded for the Paper Heroes exhibition 2017.

Variation on the Doe Head with antlers.
The antlers hold thanks to wet-folding. The paper is very thin, and once dried, holds very solidly.

I never noticed that before folding this piece, but does really have huge ears!
Similarly to its companion piece, the Cheetah Head, this model is based on box-pleating, except for the eyes. Glue has also been used to close up the model on the sides.

I originally wanted to do a full cheetah in box-pleating, but was never satisfied with the lack of details of the head. I then decided to experiment on the head alone, and it proved more of a challenge than expected!
The model was fully based on box-pleating. The fangs and ears still are, but the eyes are now inspired by the amazingly expressive way Daniel Chang makes the eyes of his masks.
I wanted the model to be viewable from any angle, so a liberal amount of glue has been used to close it up, instead of hiding the locks and leaving a dead view angle.

This model came to me after the Origami Deutschland 2016 meeting in Erkner. In a sense, it is inspired from Alexander Kurth's work, especially his Guardian of the Last Geometry, and is mixed with my 4 Mice to create a combination of formal origami and a more flowy, intangible menace.
I would have preferred making the cat even more of a shadow, but this is the most I could do without actually wet-folding the model.
I will teach this model at the OUSA meeting this summer. Looking forward to it!

Madeleine K. Albright
VHLF March 24, 2015 International Advisory Board
Madeleine Albright, née Marie Jana Korbel, is a Czech-born American public official who served as U.S. Ambassador to the United Nations (1993–97) and who was the first woman to hold the cabinet post of U.S. Secretary of State (1997–2001). She was the daughter of a Czech diplomat. After the Nazis occupied Czechoslovakia in 1939, her family fled to England. The family returned to Czechoslovakia after World War II, but the Soviet-sponsored communist coup made them refugees again, and by 1948 they had settled in the United States. Madeleine Albright and Vaclav Havel became close friends immediately after Havel's election to the President's office. Ms. Albright worked with Havel on guiding his country into NATO and preparing the way for its entry into the European Union.
She left government service in 2001 and founded the Albright Group, a consulting firm based in Washington, D.C. She is a Professor in the Practice of Diplomacy at the Georgetown University School of Foreign Service. A frequent columnist on foreign affairs issues, she served on the board of directors of the Council on Foreign Relations. Albright wrote a number of books, including the policy primers The Mighty and the Almighty: Reflections on America, God, and World Affairs (2006) and Memo to the President Elect (2008). Madam Secretary (2003) and Prague Winter: A Personal Story of Remembrance and War, 1937–1948 (2012) are memoirs. Ms. Albright has received numerous honors for her contributions to diplomacy, democracy and world affairs, including honorary degrees from several universities, and in 2012, President Barack Obama awarded her the Presidential Medal of Freedom.

The Times also determined that a disproportionate number of the 213 deaths were blacks — a troubling finding as the nation wrestles with a spate of police encounters that have led to the deaths of unarmed blacks, spawning the "Black Lives Matter" movement.
Just how often police kill citizens in the line of duty and under what circumstances is difficult to determine. While the FBI collects data nationally on justifiable homicides by police, law enforcement agencies are not required to submit the incidents. According to studies, the FBI totals each year are significant undercounts and unreliable.
To authoritatively examine the issue in Washington, The Times used public records requests, death certificates, interviews and other research to collect, measure and analyze a decade of killings by police in the state's 39 counties.
In King County, where blacks represent 6.3 percent of the population, they accounted for more than 20 percent of deaths.
Well before the recent national focus on questionable law enforcement shootings, the issue of whether police can effectively be held accountable in Washington was raised by the homicide of Otto Zehm, an unarmed, mentally challenged man in Spokane.
Only later did the federal Justice Department indict Thompson on a criminal civil rights charge and for obstructing the investigation. After studying security camera video of the March 18, 2006, incident, jurors found Thompson guilty of using excessive force and obstruction. He was sentenced to 51 months in a federal prison.
In Seattle, the Garner decision was condemned by Bill Conn, who was president of the Seattle Police Officers' Guild. "If you can't shoot fleeing felons, then you are relegated to a foot chase and being expert at karate and jiujitsu and all that exotic stuff you see in the movies and on television," he said.
In 1985, state Sens. Phil Talmadge, D-Seattle, chairman of the Senate Judiciary Committee, and George Fleming, D-Seattle, co-sponsored a bill that they hoped would help cities avoid costly wrongful death lawsuits while protecting lives.
As Talmadge and Fleming's deadly force bill was being hashed out, nearly identical wording was included in the proposed legislation. But the bill failed to pass.

Gregory of Tours:
Church Exemption from Taxation, c. 570
Gregory of Tours painted a very dark picture of the conditions existing in the barbarian kingdoms of his day. The fact was that many of the bishops of the Church were worldly men who had compromised with some of the rude barbarian ideas in the hope of achieving an ultimate good. Injuriosus seems to have been in a diderent category from the rest of the bishops on this occasion. The principle on which the Church claimed exemption was put forward by him very strongly and successfully to King Lothar.
Book IV. Chapter 2:
At last King Lothar had decreed that all the churches in his kingdom should pay a third part of their income to his fisc. But when all the bishops, albeit unwillingly, had consented and signed their names, the blessed Injuriosus, manfully refusing, disdained to sign, saying: "If you wish to take God's property the Lord will quickly take away your kingdom; for it is unjust that your barns should be filled through the money of the poor who ought rather to feed at your hands." And being wroth with the king he departed unceremoniously. Then the king, much perturbed, fearing the spirit of the blessed Martin, sent after him with gifts, craving his pardon, condemning what he had done, and at the same time asking that he would ask the help of the blessed Bishop Martin on his behalf.

— манга Таку Сакамото, повествующая о гениальном футболисте, помешанном на чистоте. Первоначально выходила в журнале Miracle Jump (издательство Shueisha, 2014), в 2015 была возобновлена в журнале Young Jump того же издательства. В 2017 году была анонсирована телеэкранизация манги.

Сюжет
Аояма — первокурсник старшей школы Фудзими — обладает большим потенциалом для того, чтобы стать профессиональным футболистом. Выступая на позиции полузащитника, он в свои пятнадцать лет уже готов пробиться в юниорскую сборную Японии до 16 лет, но не может этого сделать из-за гермофобии, заставляющей его постоянно заботиться о чистоте. Аояма не может прикоснуться к мячу на поле руками, не может есть пищу, приготовленную другими людьми, и избегает физических контактов с людьми. Подобное поведение приводит его к конфликту с товарищами по футбольной команде школы.

Персонажи

 Сэйю: Рётаро Окиаю

 Сэйю: Томокадзу Сэки

 Сэйю: Андзу Харуно

 Сэйю: Нориаки Сугияма

 Сэйю: Дайсукэ Сакагути

Манга
Манга авторства Таку Сакамото с иллюстрациями самого Сакамото, выходила с 20 мая 2014 года в журнале «Miracle Jump», затем публикации перенесли с 2015 года в журнал «Young Jump», оба журнала выходили от издательства «Shueisha».

Критика
Обозреватель портала Anime News Network Ник Кример высказал мнение, что комедийная составляющая аниме-сериала является «морально устаревшей», поскольку использует довольно прямолинейные шутки над чистотой, переключая изображение Аоямы в тиби-версию. При этом Кример отметил, что драматические моменты истории, напротив, достаточно неплохо обыгрывают фобию главного героя. Однако, критик подчеркнул, что из-за невысокого качества изображений аниме-сериала он не может рассматриваться как нечто выходящее за рамки посредственности жанра спокон.

Лаурен Орсини назвал элементы юмора произведения смесью «глупого и шокирующего перфекционизма» манги «Я — Сакамото, а что?» и личностной комедии Tanaka-kun is Always Listless.

Elizabeth Susan Wilmshurst  (born 28 August 1948), Distinguished Fellow of the International Law Programme at Chatham House (the Royal Institute of International Affairs), and Professor of International Law at University College London, is best known for her role as Deputy Legal Adviser at the Foreign and Commonwealth Office of the United Kingdom on the eve of the 2003 invasion of Iraq.

She resigned from the Foreign Office on 20 March 2003, three days after Lord Goldsmith's final advice to the British government reversed her legal opinion (in Lord Goldsmith's first secret memo 10 days earlier) that the invasion was illegal without a second United Nations Security Council Resolution to SCR 678. Although her resignation was public at the time, the detailed reasons and resignation letter were not, and caused a stir when they were released two years later.

On 26 January 2010, Wilmshurst gave evidence to the Iraq Inquiry about the legality of the 2003 invasion of Iraq and the advice given to then Foreign Secretary Jack Straw on the same day as her former boss, Sir Michael Wood.

Early life and career
Wilmshurst was educated at Clarendon School for Girls, a private boarding school, and studied law at King's College London (LLB and AKC, 1969).

Wilmshurst was admitted as a solicitor in 1972. From 1974 until her resignation in 2003, she was a legal advisor with HM Diplomatic Service.
