Another moral: Apply logic to this grim story, and you will ascertain that it took place many years ago. No husband of our age would be so terrible as to demand the impossible of his wife, nor would he be such a jealous malcontent. For, whatever the color of her husband's beard, the wife of today will let him know who the master is.

Beverages: Beverages, such as water and wine, are poured from the right, as glasses are typically placed to the right of the guest's plate. Sides: Sides like bread and vegetables are also served from the left. Clearing: Plates: Plates are cleared from the right, using your right hand to remove the plate.  Exceptions: If a guest is obstructing the way on the right, or if there is an object on the right side, a server may need to serve from the right.  Some restaurants may have their own protocols for serving, whether it's to the right or left.  Why Serve from the Left? Serving from the left is considered less intrusive for right-handed diners, as it avoids the server having to reach across the guest.  It also allows the server to carry the food in their left hand and serve with their right hand, without crossing their arms in front of the guest. 57:20   *CraftLit's Socials* • Find everything here: https://www.linktr.ee/craftlitchannel • Join the newsletter: http://eepurl.com/2raf9  • Podcast site: http://craftlit.com • Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/CraftLit/ • Facebook group: https://www.facebook.com/groups/craftlit • Pinterest: https://www.pinterest.com/craftlit/ • TikTok podcast: https://www.tiktok.com/@craftlit • Email: heather@craftlit.com • Previous CraftLit Classics can be found here: https://bit.ly/craftlit-library-2023   *SUPPORT THE SHOW!* • CraftLit App Premium feed bit.ly/libsynpremiumcraftlit (only one tier available) • PATREON:   https://patreon.com/craftlit (all tiers, below) ——Walter Harright -  $5/mo for the same audio as on App ——Jane Eyre - $10/mo for even-month Book Parties ——Mina Harker - $15/mo for odd-month Watch Parties *All tiers and benefits are also available as* —*YouTube Channel Memberships*  —*Ko-Fi* https://ko-fi.com/craftlit  —*NEW* at CraftLit.com — Premium Memberships https://craftlit.com/membership-levels/ *IF you want to join a particular Book or Watch Patry but you don't want to join any of the above membership options*, please use PayPal.me/craftlit or CraftLit @ Venmo and include what you want to attend in the message field.

...in which we visit Keswick Museum for a deep dive into the life of one of Romantic Lakeland's most under-appreciated figures: writer, former Poet Laureate and long-term resident of Greta Hall, Robert Southey (1774-1843). In the company of Museum curator Nicola Lawson and trustee Charlotte May, we return to Bristol, 1774 and set the shifting social scene for the birth of a young radical – expelled from Westminster – whose education was beset by bullying. Alongside new wife Edith Fricker and creative soulmate Samuel Taylor Coleridge, we follow Southey north to Keswick and learn about daily life at Greta Hall, where the young poet became sole breadwinner in a busy household of sisters and their home-educated children. With tragedy a constant in the Southeys' life – four of the couples' eight children died before reaching adulthood – we discuss Edith's enduring mental illness, the fast-growing Keswick of the early 1800s, and the great joy Southey derived from family and domestic life. Reflecting on a (sometimes) controversial and (always) prodigious writing talent (Southey's output far eclipsed that of Wordsworth or Coleridge), we namecheck some of his finest works: from the first published version of Goldilocks and the three bears (The Story of the Three Bears) through his remarkable História do Brasil to the onomatopoeic masterpiece The Cataract of Lodore. Brazing the frosty cold, we conclude our conversation alongside Southey's grave at Crosthwaite Church, where we consider his relationship with Keswick and the great loss felt at the death of a towering talent and an adored family man. You can find out more about Southey and Keswick at Keswick Museum: keswickmuseum.org.uk The Museum is on Facebook, Instagram and Twitter/X.

Sharpen your stakes and have your garlic handy, as for this week's Haunting Season-themed bonus episode we're opening up some deliciously rich veins of history to explore the history and folklore of Vampires!Part of the "Three Ravens Bestiary" series, we start by discussing how the creation of the vampire as a figure in popular culture has its roots in the 19th century, all before digging back into the past to unearth the origins of vampire legend. This includes the story of how European anatomists and natural philosophers came to learn of the vampire bat, how they tried to fit it into their models of the 'scientific' universe, and how Gothic writers, not least Bram Stoker, exploited these ideas for dramatic effect.Before long though, we're whipping back to the first arrival of the word 'vampire' in English texts during the 1730s, exploring how and why tales of Eastern European vampirism and superstition made their ways to Great Britain, and drowning in the rich and bloody history of vampire-like creatures in ancient mythology.From the Ancient Mesopotamian Ekimmu to Lilith, Adam's Biblical first wife, Classical beliefs in the cannibalistic owl-witch hybrids "The Strix" to India's demonic vetala, we track through how forms of cultural imperialism - whether it be towards the ancient Scythians or Renaissance Catholics, or the entirety of Asia according to some sources - saw ideas of blood drinking and the vampiric exploited to dehumanise perceived enemies. How these ideas transformed into modern concepts of the vampire, via Robert Southey, Samuel Taylor Coleridge, Lord Byron, and a host of other writers and cultural figures, we'll leave you to discover. But, suffice to say, it's a shadowy journey filled with magic, horror, and quite a lot of repressed sexuality...The Three Ravens is an English Myth and Folklore podcast hosted by award-winning writers Martin Vaux and Eleanor Conlon.Released on Mondays, each weekly episode focuses on one of England's 39 historic counties, exploring the history, folklore and traditions of the area, from ghosts and mermaids to mythical monsters, half-forgotten heroes, bloody legends, and much, much more. Then, and most importantly, the pair take turns to tell a new version of an ancient story from that county - all before discussing what that tale might mean, where it might have come from, and the truths it reveals about England's hidden past...Bonus Episodes are released on Thursdays (Magic and Medicines about folk remedies and arcane spells, Three Ravens Bestiary about cryptids and mythical creatures, Dying Arts about endangered heritage crafts, and Something Wicked about folkloric true crime from across history) plus Local Legends episodes on Saturdays - interviews with acclaimed authors, folklorists, podcasters and historians with unique perspectives on that week's county.With a range of exclusive content on Patreon, too, including audio ghost tours, the Three Ravens Newsletter, and monthly Three Ravens Film Club episodes about folk horror films from across the decades, why not join us around the campfire and listen in?Learn more at www.threeravenspodcast.com, join our Patreon at www.patreon.com/threeravenspodcast, and find links to our social media channels here: https://linktr.ee/threeravenspodcast Get bonus content on Patreon Hosted on Acast.

This episode was recorded at The Hill St Theatre at the Edinburgh Festival Fringe on 12th August 2023. The panellists were Kate Smurthwaite, Vladimir McTavish and Bryan Ghosh. The host was Richard Pulsford. On This Day topics covered included: - New Amsterdam's 1st police force formed (born, 12/08/1658) - Robert Southey (born, 12/08/1774) - Erwin Schroedinger (born, 12/08/1887) - Ian Fleming (died, 12/08/1964) - Clarence Birdseye patents fish fingers (12/08/1930) - William Blake (died, 12/08/1827)

Robert Southey was an English poet of the Romantic school, and Poet Laureate from 1813 until his death. Like the other Lake Poets, William Wordsworth and Samuel Taylor Coleridge, Southey began as a radical but became steadily more conservative as he gained respect for Britain and its institutions. Other romantics such as Byron accused him of siding with the establishment for money and status. He is remembered especially for the poem "After Blenheim" and the original version of "Goldilocks and the Three Bears".-bio via Wikipedia Get full access to The Daily Poem Podcast at dailypoempod.substack.com/subscribe

In this episode we will look at one of English literature's greatest names, the Romantic Poet, Lord Byron. It is claimed outside of the U.K. he is the second most read British author behind Shakespeare.We first mentioned Byron in our second episode, Science Fiction Satan, where we quoted contemporary poet Robert Southey who dubbed Byron and his good friend Percy Shelley as ‘The Satanic School'. Southey claimed their work was, ‘characterised by a Satanic spirit of pride and audacious impiety.'Add to Southey's glowing endorsement, there is of course the more famous quote about Byron from Lady Caroline Lamb who called him, ‘Mad, bad and dangerous to know.'Then there's his work, poems and plays about the apocalypse, angels of death, vampires, defying the gods, a tribute to Dante's inferno, Lucifer and St Peter litigating over a King of England at the very gates of Heaven, an ode to Napoleon, likening him to our favourite disrupter, the witch of Endor from first Samuel, the devil's drive or the story of Cain told from the point of view of murderous Cain himself.After all of that, how could I resist doing an episode about this man? There are cameo guest appearances by The Young and the Restless, Forrest Gump, Joel Olsteen, Alexander the Great, William the Conqueror, John ‘Foul Weather Jack' Byron, Don Juan, Johnny Depp, Amber Heard, John ‘Captain Mad Jack' Byron, Marchioness of Carmarthen, Amelia Osborne, Catherine Gordon, George Gordon Byron, William Chaworth, Harrow Vs Eton Cricket match, Trinity College at Cambridge, William Fletcher, Hellespont, Greece, Dardanelles, Swimming World Magazine, Childe Harold's Pilgrimage, Clara Claremont, Mary Shelley, Percy Shelley, Switzerland, Frankenstein or The Modern Prometheus, Elvis, John Polidore, The Vampire, Bram Stoker, Dracula, John Milton, Darth Vader, Wolverine, The Phantom of the Opera, Venice, Ottomans, Thomas Moore, #SketchComedy #Sketch #Comedy #Sketch Comedy #Atheist #Science #History #Atheism #ConspiracyTheory #Sceptical #Scepticism #Mythology #Religion #Devil #Satan #Skeptic #Debunk #poetry 

If you had to live the same day over and over again, you may as well use the time to memorize some poetry. That's exactly what Phil Connors does in Groundhog Day. Today's poem is featured in the film and marks a significant turning point for the once-misanthropic weatherman.Samuel Taylor Coleridge is the premier poet-critic of modern English tradition, distinguished for the scope and influence of his thinking about literature as much as for his innovative verse. Active in the wake of the French Revolution as a dissenting pamphleteer and lay preacher, he inspired a brilliant generation of writers and attracted the patronage of progressive men of the rising middle class. As William Wordsworth's collaborator and constant companion in the formative period of their careers as poets, Coleridge participated in the sea change in English verse associated with Lyrical Ballads (1798). His poems of this period, speculative, meditative, and strangely oracular, put off early readers but survived the doubts of Wordsworth and Robert Southey to become recognized classics of the romantic idiom.-bio via Poetry Foundation Get full access to The Daily Poem Podcast at dailypoempod.substack.com/subscribe

Today's poem is by Samuel Taylor Coleridge (/ˈkoʊlərɪdʒ/ KOH-lə-rij;[1] 21 October 1772 – 25 July 1834), an English poet, literary critic, philosopher, and theologian who, with his friend William Wordsworth, was a founder of the Romantic Movement in England and a member of the Lake Poets. He also shared volumes and collaborated with Charles Lamb, Robert Southey, and Charles Lloyd.He wrote the poems The Rime of the Ancient Mariner and Kubla Khan, as well as the major prose work Biographia Literaria. His critical work, especially on William Shakespeare, was highly influential, and he helped introduce German idealist philosophy to English-speaking cultures. Coleridge coined many familiar words and phrases, including "suspension of disbelief".[2] He had a major influence on Ralph Waldo Emersonand American transcendentalism.—Bio via Wikipedia Get full access to The Daily Poem Podcast at dailypoempod.substack.com/subscribe

Jane Eyre Book NotesMore Content On Bookey Book Summary App This novel is a masterpiece of 19th-Century British author Charlotte Bronte. The book tells the story of how Jane Eyre, an orphan girl born of humble origins and ordinary appearance, grew into a strong, independent and self-possessed woman after going through much hardship and fighting against oppression and injustice, thus finally achieving happiness for herself. The novel is an homage to feminist ideals which affirm individual human rights, and successfully created one of the most classic feminist characters in the history of British literature – Jane Eyre. Overview | Chapter 1Hi, welcome to Bookey. Today we will unlock the book Jane Eyre–the masterpiece of renowned British author Charlotte Bronte. Charlotte Bronte was born into the family of a village pastor in England in 1816. She was the third child of six, having two elder sisters, two younger sisters and a younger brother. Charlotte's two younger sisters, Emily Bronte and Anne Bronte, were as passionate about writing as she was, and all three of them made their lasting contributions to British literature. Under the pseudonym Currer Bell, Charlotte published Jane Eyre in 1847, which made waves throughout literary circles and secured her worldwide recognition. The book tells the story of how Jane Eyre, an orphan girl born of humble origins and an ordinary appearance, grew into a strong, independent and self-possessed woman after going through much hardship and fighting against oppression and injustice, thus finally achieving happiness for herself. Orphaned after the death of her parents at a young age, Jane lived for a time under her aunt's roof, where she endured much bullying and oppression, before spending eight tumultuous years in an orphanage. That notwithstanding, Jane Eyre did not give up on herself, even after leading a lonely life without anyone to rely on – she continuously resisted oppression and fought tenaciously against her fate in order to pursue an independent and autonomous life, a life of freedom and equality, and finally succeeded in achieving an ideal love and living the life of her dreams. The novel was written in mid-19th Century during the Victorian era in England. At the time, it was a patriarchal society, and women faced oppression on many fronts. Once, when Charlotte was 20 years old, she sent several short poems that she wrote to Robert Southey, a great English poet at the time, in hopes of receiving his commendation and encouragement. Yet in his letter Southey merely gave her a brusque reply, stating that "Literature is not the business of a woman and it cannot be.” Southey's letter dealt Charlotte a huge blow, but she did not abandon her literary ambitions there and then. In order to ensure the successful publication of Jane Eyre, Charlotte used the male pseudonym Currer Bell – this went to prove how difficult the path to a career in the literary arts was for women at the time. Against such a societal backdrop, the feminist themes of courageous resistance, pursuit of equality and defence of women's rights as conveyed in the book were extremely rare and valuable and played a significant role in promoting the contemporaneous liberation of women.

Recorded at theSpace at Surgeons' Hall during the Edinburgh Festival Fringe on Friday 12th August. The Panel included Bryan Ghosh and Angus Coutts, with Richard Pulsford as host. On This Day topics covered included: Clarence Birdseye patents fish fingers (12/08/1930) The first IBM PC released (12/08/1981) Robert Southey (born 12/08/1774) John Cage's 4'33" James Bond author, Ian Fleming (died 12/08/1964) William Blake (died 12/08/1827)

Our fifty-sixth (and final!) tree, Holly (Ilex aquifolium). Released to coincide with the Winter Solstice, aka the end of the rule of the Holly King, this episode celebrates a tree that is rooted in the winter celebrations of Celts, Romans, Christians, and even Cretaceous Dinosaurs! For centuries it has also fed the cattle that feeds us, it has supported generations of over-wintering birds (such as the greedy Mistle Thrush) and it has kept Goblins, Witches and arson-obsessed Cumbrian villagers at bay. Illuminated by the words of Emily Bronte, Thomas Hardy, Robert Southey and a whole collective known of historical botanists, this episode celebrates one of our undeniably great trees.

Daily Quote Chance favors the minds that are prepared. (Louis Pasteur) Poem of the Day Tree at My Window Robert Frost Beauty of Words To Charlotte Bronte Robert Southey

Charlotte Brontë [ˈʃɑːlət ˈbɹɒnteɪ], née le 21 avril 1816 à Thornton (comté d'Adams) et morte le 31 mars 1855 à Haworth (comté de Bergen), est une romancière anglaise. Troisième fille du révérend Patrick Brontë, au sein d'une famille de condition modeste qui compte six enfants, elle bénéficie, comme ses quatre sœurs et son frère, de la présence d'un père qui a poussé ses études classiques jusqu'à l'université de Cambridge, et n'hésite pas à leur transmettre sa culture et sa vision du monde. Elle connaît cependant très tôt, alors qu'elle est encore tout enfant, le deuil de sa mère, puis de ses deux sœurs aînées, frappées par la tuberculose. Malgré sa condition de femme et son absence de moyens financiers, elle réussit à publier ses poèmes et ceux de ses sœurs (sous des noms masculins), en 1846, et surtout, à publier son œuvre principale Jane Eyre, devenu un grand classique de la littérature anglaise et mondiale, ayant également laissé une empreinte importante dans l'histoire culturelle en étant adapté au cinéma à plusieurs reprises. Elle naît à Thornton où son père, Patrick Brontë, est pasteur. Sa mère meurt d'un cancer de l'estomac le 15 septembre 18212. En 1824, pour assurer leur éducation, les quatre filles aînées sont envoyées à l'école de Cowan Bridge, établissement recevant les enfants des membres du clergé peu fortuné, qui avait été recommandé à M. Brontë. Dans cette école, pourtant de bonne réputation, les conditions de vie sont difficiles, sans chauffage, avec une maigre nourriture préparée sans aucune hygiène, et presque immangeable. L'année suivante, Maria et Elizabeth tombent gravement malades et en sont retirées, mais décèdent peu après à quelques semaines d'intervalle, le 6 mai et le 15 juin 18255 ; Charlotte et Emily, enlevées elles aussi à ce lieu malsain, retournent à Haworth. La perte de leurs deux sœurs sera pour les quatre enfants un traumatisme qui transparaît notamment dans l'œuvre de Charlotte, par exemple dans Jane Eyre où Cowan Bridge devient Lowood, la figure pathétique de Maria est représentée sous les traits de la jeune Helen Burns, la cruauté d'une maîtresse, Miss Andrews, sous ceux de Miss Scatcherd et la tyrannie du directeur, le Révérend Carus Wilson, sous ceux de l'odieux et suffisant M. Brocklehurst. Ellen Nussey, la grande amie de Charlotte, vers 1855, à l'époque de la mort de cette dernière. Charlotte se retrouve alors l'aînée des quatre enfants survivants. Les autres sont Branwell, Emily et Anne. Désormais, les enfants seront élevés par leur tante maternelle Elizabeth Branwell, figure un peu mystérieuse qui n'aura pas une grande influence sur Charlotte et Emily. Mais surtout, une véritable symbiose littéraire et familiale va se créer entre les enfants. En effet, stimulés par la lecture du Blackwood's Magazine que reçoit leur père, Charlotte et Branwell entament avec Emily et Anne une collaboration littéraire intense autour d'un pays imaginaire, la confédération de Glass Town, créant une quantité fabuleuse de récits, de pièces de théâtre, de journaux, de poèmes écrits en caractères minuscules. Ils peuplent ce monde d'une foule de personnages, tels que le comte de Northangerland (le cruel et perfide Alexander Rogue), ou le grand peintre Sir Edward de Lisle. C'est l'occasion pour les quatre enfants d'échanges d'idées et de connaissances intenses, et d'une stimulante rivalité intellectuelle. Puis Charlotte est envoyée une nouvelle fois en pension, en 1831, mais cette fois dans un établissement de qualité, chez Miss Wooler, où elle nouera deux amitiés durables, avec Ellen Nussey et Mary Taylor. L'entrée dans la vie professionnelle est difficile. Hantée par le besoin d'écrire, elle parvient à peine à remplir ses fonctions d'institutrice dans son ancien pensionnat, puis de gouvernante chez des particuliers. Des tentatives de contact avec d'autres écrivains, notamment Robert Southey qui lui déconseille l'écriture parce qu'elle est une femme, ne portent guère de fruits. Un jour, en 1845, Charlotte découvre par hasard des textes d'Emily. Éblouie par leur qualité, elle propose à ses sœurs de publier un volume collectif qui paraîtra sous le titre Poems by Currer, Ellis and Acton Bell (1846). Les trois sœurs se mettent alors à des romans. Ceux d'Anne et Emily, Agnes Grey et Les Hauts de Hurlevent (Wuthering Heights), sont acceptés par un éditeur, mais non le récit de Charlotte, The Professor. En revanche, son deuxième roman, Jane Eyre, publié en 1847 sous le pseudonyme de Currer Bell, fait sensation. Héritier de la tradition du roman gothique, ce récit à la première personne scandalise certains par l'affirmation de soi et la détermination de l'héroïne - on est en pleine époque victorienne - mais son style somptueux, à la fois passionné et parfaitement maîtrisé, en fera un immense best-seller. Elle entame alors un troisième roman, Shirley. Entre-temps, son frère Branwell est devenu alcoolique et opiomane, addictions qu'une déception amoureuse ne fait qu'aggraver, et meurt de tuberculose en septembre 1848. Emily décède aussi quelques semaines plus tard, en décembre de la même année, après avoir pris froid et refusé de se soigner. Moins rétive aux soins, Anne ne tardera pourtant pas à mourir de la même maladie en mai 1849. Commence alors une période de calvaire pour Charlotte. Elle termine tant bien que mal Shirley tout en luttant contre une dépression atroce. Ses horizons s'élargissent néanmoins à présent qu'elle n'est plus tenue de respecter l'anonymat qu'elle avait juré à Emily. Soutenue par son éditeur George Smith, elle fait la connaissance du Tout-Londres littéraire et noue de solides amitiés avec ses pairs, notamment sa future biographe Elizabeth Gaskell. Shirley a souffert des conditions dans lesquelles il a été écrit. Les deux héroïnes se transforment en portraits idéalisés des sœurs de Charlotte, et le récit ne cesse de vaciller entre le réalisme social et un romantisme aussi échevelé mais beaucoup moins convaincant que celui de Jane Eyre. Charlotte retrouve une veine plus conforme à son talent avec Villette, publié en 1853, fondé sur ses expériences bruxelloises et considéré par certains comme son chef-d'œuvre.

A  story that as we know it was first recorded in narrative form by English writer and poet Robert Southey, and first published anonymously as "The Story of the Three Bears" in 1837; the story of the three bears predates Southey.It went through various iterations, including versions with an old woman as the feature, a silver haired girl, and eventually the well known Goldilocks. The fate of Goldilocks has been changed time and time again as well.For this fully family friendly version of the tale we turn to author Katherine Pyle, an American artist, poet, and children's writer, sister of author and artist Howard Pyle. Pyle told this version in Mother's Nursery Tales, a collection of stories she published in 1918. Something we will be coming back to again for other classic nursery tales.

In this week's episode, curators Melissa and Poppy are on the prowl for cat-themed collections! We explore the glorious Kattenkabinet Museum in Amsterdam, founded in honour of a much-loved pet, and marvel at Robert Southey's Cat-a-logue of kitties at Greta Hall. We also shed a small tear for Judith Kerr's Mog, who inspired the children's stories we know and love today.Support the show (https://www.patreon.com/thingsinjarspodcast)

Merriam-Webster's Word of the Day for March 26, 2021 is: sesquipedalian • sess-kwuh-puh-DAIL-yun • adjective 1 : having many syllables : long 2 : using long words Examples: Jacob's editor advised him to pare away the sesquipedalian prose he favored and opt for simpler language that would reach more readers. "For generations, college-bound kids have memorized sesquipedalian word lists and spent hours or days, if not months, mastering the theory of guessing among other test-taking tricks and gimmicks to propel them to a high score on the pivotal SAT exam." — Jill Tucker, The San Francisco Chronicle, 15 Feb. 2016 Did you know? Horace, the ancient Roman poet known for his satire, was merely being gently ironic when he cautioned young poets against using sesquipedalia verba—"words a foot and a half long"—in his book Ars poetica, a collection of maxims about writing. But in the 17th century, English literary critics decided the word sesquipedalian could be very useful for lambasting writers using unnecessarily long words. Robert Southey used it to make two jibes at once when he wrote "the verses of [16th-century English poet] Stephen Hawes are as full of barbarous sesquipedalian Latinisms, as the prose of [the 18th-century periodical] the Rambler." The Latin prefix sesqui- is used in modern English to mean "one and a half times," as in sesquicentennial (a 150th anniversary).

Robert Southey (/ˈsaʊði/ or /ˈsʌði/;[a] 12 August 1774 – 21 March 1843) was an English poet of the Romantic school, and Poet laureate from 1813 until his death. Like the other Lake Poets, William Wordsworth and Samuel Taylor Coleridge, Southey had begun as a radical, but became steadily more conservative, as he acquired respect for Britain and its institutions. Other romantics, notably Byron, accused him of siding with the establishment for money and status. He is principally remembered as author of the poem After Blenheim and the original version of Goldilocks and the Three Bears. -- Bio from Wikipedia.

¿Que es un zombi?Es importante iniciar con la definición.En la cultura pop y el folclor se define como un cuerpo que revive con un hambriento apetito por carne humana. Generalmente lo muestran como este cuerpo que puede transmitir su estado a otros, al morderlos y pasarles el "virus".Etimología:La palabra en inglés fue escrita por primera vez en 1819, en una descripción de la historia de Brasil escrita por el poeta Robert Southey en la forma de zombi. El origen es africano del oeste, y es similar a nzambi: dios y zumbi (fetish o poder sobrenatural).Lo comparan también al Kongo - mvumbi que significas fantasma, cadaver con alma.¿Porque?Los griegos: éstos vivían terrorizados por el miedo a los no vivos o zombies. Existen lápidas con esqueletos clavados al suelo, con rocas encima u objetos pesados para prevenir que el cuerpo se levante después de su muerte.Folclor árabeSe tiene el concepto de Ghoul que es una creatura manipulada por un demonio. Éste se apodera de cuerpos recién fallecidos y come restos de cadáveres. Cuando Antoine Galland tradujo Las mil y una noches al francés, fue que llegó esta idea a Europa. Ahora, no es un Zombi tal cual, pero comparten similitudes con lo que hoy conocemos como Zombi.Aunque no son parte de las escrituras islámicas, algunos extractos del Corán menciona el origen de éstos: Los demonios tuvieron acceso al cielo, de donde fueron expulsados y regresados a la tierra para pasar conocimiento a los adivinos. Cuando Jesús nació, tres esferas celestiales se les prohibieron. Cuando llegó Mohamed, otras cuatro también. Los demonios rebeldes siguieron elevándose a los cielos, pero fue quemado por cometas. Si éstos no los mataron, los dejaron deformes y enloquecieron. Así, cayeron en los desiertos desinados a rondar la tierra como ghouls.Aparición en la BibliaQuizá no aparecen tal cual, pero en el viejo testamento, en el libro de Ezekiel se describe una visión en donde Ezekiel es abandonado en un cementerio. Les habla a los huesos y estos empeizan a temblar y empezar a cubrirse de carne hasta que empiezan a ser reanimados a lo que dice "sin embargo, no había respiración en ellos".El libro de Isaía dice "Tus hombres muertos vivirán, juntos con el cuerpo muerto se levantarán. Despiertos cantarán, aquello que vive en el polvo: ya que el rocío es el rocío de las hierbas y la tierra llamará a los muertos".Si preguntas hoy en día a la gente sobre que es un zombie tal vez se limiten a decir que es un muerto viviente y no como fue concebido originalmente en las primeras cintas del género.Es un término que puede significar varias cosas distintas en regiones de Africa donde se practicaban religiones animistas por ejemplo.En terminos cinematográficos estos conceptos africanos pasaron a America y allí adquirieron nuevos significados.En Brasil por ejemplo, un zombi era el líder de una comunidad de esclavos, que utilizaba esa alusión a la divinidad de conferirse autoridad.Pero lo mas interesante es en Haiti, el culto vudu: un zombie era aquel ser humano cuyo espíritu había sido capturado por un brujo o boko. Los bokos tienen una tradición del uso de hierbas, conchas, pescados, partes de animales, huesos y lo que llaman "polvos zombi". Estos polvos contienen tetrodoxin, una neurotoxina que es letal y se encuentra en los peces globo y otras especies marinas. Cuando se utiliza en pequeñas cantidades, la tetrodoxina crea una reacción en el cuerpo humano similar a la de un zombi: dificultad para caminar, confusión mental y problemas respiratorios. ¡Sí existen! Altas dosis de tetrodotoxina llevan a la parálisis e incluso caer en un estado de coma. ¿Qué significa esto? Que una persona puede parecer muerta por un lapso de tiempo, ser enterrada viva y después, revivir de la ultratumba. Aunque es raro, hay muchos reportes creíbles en diarios médicos de personas que utilizaban este tipo de compuesto para inducir la parálisis en las perosnas y después reviviras. ¿Romeo y Julieta? En 1997, un artículo británico en la revista The Lancet describió dos cuentos verificables de zombies. Caso 1: una mujer haitiana parecía muerta y fue enterrada en un tumba familiar, para aparecer tres años después. Una investigación reveló que la tumba estaba llena de piedras y sus padres aceptaron que la llevaran al hospital local. Otro caso, un hombre haitiano llamado Clairvius Narcizo entró a un hospital con problemas severos de respiración en 1962. Después cayó en coma y lo declararon muerto. 18 años después, el hombre encontró a Angelina Narcizo, diciéndole que era su hermana. Los doctores identificaron a Clairvius, quien dijo que lo enterraron vivo y cuando se desenterró, lo obligaron a trabajar en una plantación de azúcar. Material para un drama zombi haha Este empleaba magia negra mediante fetiches tales como figuritas con forma humana para extraer el espíritu de una persona viva o recién fallecida.Despues  guardaba el espíritu en un recipiente y así poderlo usar en otros rituales.El brujo podia tomar el control de la persona la cual perdía toda voluntad, viéndose obligada a obedecer al brujo.La persona permanecia consciente pero no podia comunicarse ni tampoco liberarse del brujo. Nota sobre Haití: se cree también que el concepto de Zombi se originó por las condiciones de vida de los afroamericanos llevados como escalvos allí. Éstos vivían en condiciones deplorables durante el 17th y se encontraban trabajando en las plantaciones. Algunos dicen que esta vida de Zombie era reresentada como esta vida de esclavitud. Los esclavos haitianos pensaban que al morir, regresarían a la vida e irían de regreso a Guinea o África. El suicidio no les permitiría regresar, tenían que morir naturalmente. Si se suicidaban, estarían condenados a rondar las plantaciones por toda la eternidad, serían un esclavo que rechazaría a su propio cuerpo y quedaría como un cuerpo sin alma... un zombie. Es increíble como, el abuso de poder les impregnó la idea de los zombies como algo que trasciende el sufrimiento en este plano como esclavo, vivo y que incluso, después del a muerte, vas a seguir pagando y sufriendo. ¿es peor que el infierno? En el año 1800, fue que el mito tomó más fuerza y evolucionó hacia el voodoo después de la revolución haitiana. Aquí los bokores reanimaban los cuerpo spara realizar trabajos o realizar tareas terribles. Estas 2 versiones como muerto andante y como ser vivo pero desprovisto de voluntad se usaron en el cine durante varias décadas.Hoy en dia casi ya no sucede así, pero tal vez el equivalente actual son los que se hacen zombies por una infección.El vudu haitiano extendido su influencia por el Caribe, estableciéndose en el sur de E.U. y de manera particular en Louisiana donde se convirtió en parte importante del folclore de la comunidad.Para entonces, tanto los cineastas como el publico entendían al instante que la palabra “zombi” estaba relacionada con el vudu.LiteraturaFrankenstein - Mary ShellyRe-Animator - LovecraftNaturalezaEl hongo que infecta a insectos, particular una hormiga. Este hongo al infectarla, la hormiga sufre trastornos de comportamiento. Ésta, zombificada, se sube al tope del pasto y está en una zona de humedad ideal para que crezca.Introducción al cine de horrorDesde 1915 al 34 USA ocupó Haití y con esto, empezaron a ganar popularidad los zombies.El cine zombie nació en Hollywood, el primer largometraje de ficción fue White Zombie de 1932, protagonizado por el mismísimo Bela Lugosi, quien interpretaba el papel de un brujo que usa ritos vudu para controlar el cuerpo de una chica.Cuatro años mas tarde se rodo la segunda película con temática zombie, titulada The Love Wanga, esta película es rara vez nombrada como referencia básica del genero.Hubieron otras igualmente olvidadas como Revolt of the Zombies, Four Shall Die y hasta la primera cinta que mezclaban la temática zombie con la comedia: The Ghost Breaker.Sin embargo este genero no era tomado tanto en cuenta y en la década de los 40 fue igual de malo. Con la carrera ya casi acabada de Bela Lugosi en esa época, interpretaría mas películas de “zombis” en 1942 con Bowery At Midnight y en 1944 The Voodoo Man.También la película I Walked With A Zombie del 43 es un ejemplo del uso de este recurso y el "horror" era inspirado simplemente por la idea de que se convirtiera un cuerpo en un muerto viviente. En sí, el zombi, no hace nada, solo camina, existe, pero no es una amenaza.Quisiéramos recalcar una película llamada The Mad Ghoul de 1943 y no por ser buena, sino por el título.Hagamos un pequeño paréntesis y retomemos a la criatura llamada Ghoul, un ser que acecha en lugares solitarios o cementerios y ¿a que voy con esto? Porque el cine estadounidense utilizaba la palabra ghoul para referirse a los muertos vivientes que salen de sus tumbas sin la intervención del vudu.Así que el genero zombie pudo haberse llamado cine ghoul.Si vemos hacia atrás, tanto en la literatura como en el cine, los zombies no tomaron tanta relevancia hasta despues de la Segunda Guerra Mundial, cuando se volvió un elemento sumamente tangible el apocalipsis humano tras la denotación de las bombas nucleares en Hiroshima y Nagasaki. Este evento como platicamos previamente, impacto de manera increíble al género de horror y los zombies no se quedaron atrás.La narriativa apocalíptica ayuda a liberar estas fantasías de que el fin del mundo puede suceder y el cómo reaccionaríamos ante dicha situación. ¿Cómo cambiarían nuestras vidas si existiera una destrucción masiva?La filosofía de sobrevivencia ha ganado popularidad en las últimas décadas, tratando de no solo entender cómo sobrevivir un solo individuo sino comunidades enteras.Los años 50'sSi los treinta fueron el auge del cine de horror y los cuarenta su declive, los cincuenta estuvieron caracterizados por la repentina ciencia ficción cuya fuerza alcanzo al genero de horror.En los guiones el origen de los zombies cambio, el vudu era sustituido por energia atómica o extraterrestres.En 1952 se estreno Zombies Of The Stratosphere, que no era mas que una película de extraterrestres que usaba la palabra zombie para distinguirse de la competencia.Invisible Invaders y The Creature With The Atom Brain son otros ejemplos.En resumen, no eran filmes inteligentes, aunque si demostraban esa evolución del cine zombi hacia temas mas actuales.En 1957 las peliculas de zombi era básicamente un relleno barato al que los pequeños estudios recurrían para ofrecer algo de variedad en mitad del auge de cine de marcianos y energía atómica.En 1959 llega Plan 9 From Outer Space de Ed Wood.Tan mala que el resto de peliculas de zombies de esa época parecieran superproducciones.Fue la ultima película en la que apareció Bela Lugosi.Pero por ser tan mala, se ha convertido en todo un culto.Años 60'sEs importante mencionar una cosa, en la época de los 50s se publicaron 2 novelas que tuvieron una influencia fundamental en el desarrollo del cine moderno como lo entendemos hoy.Estamos hablando de I Am Legend de Richard Matheson y The Invasion Of The Body Snachers de Jack Finney.A pesar que no son novelas de zombis, tuvo una influencia fundamental en este género. La primera son unos seres semejantes a los vampiros. La segunda sobre unos extraterrestres que asesinan a las personas y las sustituyen por copias idénticas.Ambas novelas tienen el concepto de “postapocalipsis”, el tema de una pandemia y el control de la humanidad.Fueron importantes precedentes para la evolución del genero. Sin esta influencia, no entenderíamos las películas y series recientes.El cine Mexicano también tuvo sus cintas de zombis con su mas grande héroe nacional El Santo,El film Santo contra los zombis de 1961.En 1968 fue el año en que cambio para siempre el cine zombi con Night Of The Living Dead del director George A. Romero.George Romero era un gran fanático de la novela de Richard Matheson I Am Legend y empezó a realizar un escrito muy inspirado por esta novela que sintió que estaba siendo un plagio.Pero lo que realmente estaba intentando hacer, era una precuela, contar los inicios de la historia de Matheson por así decirlo.Para evitarse una posible acusación de plagio de la que él mismo se sentía culpable, Romero sustituyó los vampiros de Matheson por muertos vivientes. Decidido narrar los primeros momentos de un cataclismo global protagonizado por cadáveres que retornaban de la tumba, estaba concibiendo la primera fusión realmente seria entre el subgénero zombi y la ciencia ficción apocalíptica.Romero cuenta que los zombies estaban inspirados en ghouls.Estaba creando el cine de zombis moderno.El enfoque que iba a utilizar en su historia era sociológico; quería mostrar al público no solamente un puñado de muertos que caminaban y devoraban seres vivos, sino la manera en que su aparición cambiaba las relaciones entre los seres humanos, y cómo los choques de personalidades se convertían en un problema añadido al de la amenaza zombi.No había gore, sexo, ni rellenos inecesarios; no había romances, ni heroes inverosimiles.Se había quedado con los elementos para crear tension.Un elemento importante era el muerto viviente que su único propósito era alimentarse de la carne de los vivos.Al no incluir el elemento del brujo de vodoo o algún científico  malvado los hacia mas terroríficos porque era una amenaza que carecía de sentido.Años 70'sEl cine de zombies toma fuerza y se realizan un montón de peliculas.Destaca Dawn Of The Dead del mismo Romero y que se convierte en todo un clásico por la temática del encierro de los sobrevivientes en un centro comercial.Los efectos especiales son a cargo de Tom Savini.También aparecen las películas de zombies italianas.Lucio Fulci con su película Zombie.Años 80'sRomero continua con Day Of the DeadFulci en su trilogía de las puertas del infierno, con City Of the Living Dead, The Beyond y House By The Cemetery.Aparecen 2 cintas de horror-comedia The Return Of The Living Dead 1 y 2Night Of The Creeps, que a pesar que es una amenaza extraterrestre, los cuerpos son reanimados y de la muerte. Retoman la ciencia ficción de los años 50'sThe Serpent and The Rainbow, donde regresan a la raiz, es decir el rito voodooRe-AnimatorDead And BuriedA pesar que los 80s fue la época de cine slasher, el cine zombie tuvo gran éxito.El videoclip para la canción de Thriller de Michael Jackson.Años 90'sRemake de Night Of The Living DeadCemetery ManDead AliveEn los Videojuegos aparece Resident Evil.2000Tiene un renacimiento con el remake de Dawn Of The Dead de Zack SnyderY modernizan la temática, ahora son zombies que tienen movimientos mas rápidos,Si quieren correr lo pueden hacer y son mas peligrosos.La película de 28 Days Later fue la primera en presentar a los zombies en una forma nueva. Ágiles y en un estado de enojo perpetuo. La película salió el año siguiente del desatre de las torres gemelas. Aquí vemos como se pierde total confianza en el gobierno como protector y solo puedes sobrevivir en base al individualismo.Cada vez los zombies hacen cosas más y más intensas, todo para responder: ¿qué haría yo en esa situaicón? Ponen barreras más altas y decisiones más difíciles. Se vuelven un desatre natural. Incluso los protagonistas dominan la supervivencia en un mundo lleno de zombies y a quién debes temer? A los otros humanos "saludables". No hay ética ni moral en ese mundo.Zombies en la actualidad Kingdom World War Z Series como The Walking Dead El CDC: Centro de Control de Enfermedades de US tiene incluso una sección de "preparación ante Zombies" donde explican que debe hacer la gente en caso de que sucediera un apocalipsis zombie. Notas relfexión La evolución de los zombies: Seres sin capacidad de razonar, sin alma, destinados a rondar la tierra Lo anterior + hambre por carne humana y efecto tipo enfermedad Posibilidad de aprender: Day of the dead Posibilidad de curar o erradicar la enfermedad o virus, generar inmunidad Zombies que tienen capacidades motoras excesivas: 28 días después WWZ. Zombies como pandemia global y efectos socio-políticos Mundo post-apocalyptico: vivir con zombies un nuevo estilo de vida The Dead Next Door Walking Dead Mi novio es un zombie Zombieland Transformación del miedo colectivo Espiritualidad - religión vudú y los ghouls, quienes no pueden ir al cielo o están destinados a rondar en la tierra Ansiedades modernas: exceso de gente y pocos recursos terminará siendo el fin de la humanidad. Metafórico: los inmigrantes del mundo, los refugiados que piden sean atendidos y alimentados a los países con mayor poder político. La última película de Pixar toca este tema - aquellos que ya van en automático por la vida y han perdido la capacidad de disfrutarla, están en un estado cíclico, depresivo. Los que viven para trabajar en lugar de trabajar para vivir y no necesariamente por gusto, por necesidad. Regresamos a los esclavos haitianos pero en su versión moderna, trabajando en una empresa o micro negocio por más de 12 horas. Después del apocalipsis se ve una reducción masiva de gente, lo que sigue es la reconstrucción y la abundancia de recursos.

The pandemic is having a profound impact on the arts. But you don't need to go anywhere, involve other people or need many materials, to write or read poetry, and during the lockdown people have turned to verse. In an extended edition of Front Row devoted to poetry Samira Ahmed hears from the Poet Laureate, Simon Armitage, about his recent writing life - composing lyrics for Huddersfield Choral Society. Vanessa Kisuule, City Poet of Bristol, talks about her collaboration with the Old Vic and local groups, creating modern work inspired by medieval mystery plays. Em Power, three times Foyle Poet of the Year winner, reveals how poetry is a communal art. And they all read their work. Even before the lockdown there was a surge in sales of poetry books, driven by the internet. Anthony Anaxagorou and Vanessa Kisuule chart their journeys as poets via YouTube to the printed page. They discuss poetry addressing politics - Kisuule's poem on the toppling of the Colston statue went viral - and poets' engagement with the environment. Armitage launched the Laurel Prize to encourage this. In March Daphne Astor started the Hazel Press whose books about the natural world are created from it using local recycled paper, printed with vegetable inks. Anna Selby writes poems about the underwater world - while underwater. The prospect of inoculation against Covid gave rise to'vaccination nationalism'. When Edward Jenner pioneered smallpox vaccination in 1796 he was determined his discovery would benefit people around the globe. Several poets, including Robert Southey, wrote poems in his honour. Front Row has commissioned Anthony Anaxagorou to do the same for the developers of the Covid vaccine, and he reads his new poem. Presenter: Samira Ahmed Producer: Julian May

The Scottish coastline is dotted with magnificent lighthouses. These bright beacons of safety have protected sea vessels for centuries, guiding them through the rough and rocky waters that surround the country. In this episode we take a look at Robert Stevenson and his lighthouse building dynasty, with a focus on Bell Rock Lighthouse, one of the greatest engineering feats of the 19th century. We also explore the mystery of the Flannan Isles Lighthouse disappearances, where three lighthouse keepers mysteriously vanished one dark and stormy night.

Det är inte alltid lätt att veta hur en ska bete sig när en är på besök hos någon annan. Kanske kan folksagorna ge lite vett- och etikett-tips? Nja, är väl tyvärr svaret.

Futile broke into 16th-century English as a Latinate borrowing from Middle French. The Latin derivative, fūtilis, was used to describe things that are brittle or fragile and, by extension, things serving no purpose or being pointless. These meanings survive in the English futile, which denotes ineffectiveness or frivolousness. In 1827, English author Robert Southey found use for the word by blending it into utilitarian to form futilitarian, a word that is used for anyone who believes that human striving is futile—that is, ineffective and/or frivolous.

Ricitos de Oro era una niña a la que le gustaba reunir ramos de flores de los lindes del bosque. Un día camina demasiado lejos y se pierde entre los árboles, incapaz de encontrar el camino de vuelta al pueblo. Después de caminar mucho y cada vez más asustada, encuentra en medio del bosque una cabaña de madera vacía. Hambrienta, cansada y con miedo por la noche en ciernes, entra a la cabaña y encuentra una mesa con tres platos de avena. Prueba el primero, pero estaba muy caliente. Prueba el segundo, pero estaba muy frío. Prueba el tercero, ¡y estaba perfecto! Tiene experiencias similares con una silla y una cama, hasta que cae dormida por el cansancio.Mamá, Papá y Bebé Oso, los dueños de la cabaña, eventualmente regresan a su hogar y ¡cuál sería su sorpresa al encontrar a una niña con cabello de oro dormida en la cama!

Det var en gang ei jente som brøt seg inn i huset til tre anstendige, skattebetalende bjørner for å sabotere møblementet deres og forsyne seg av husstandens middag. Etter fullendt forsyningsgilde la jenta seg til å sove i sengen til bjørneungen, sannsynligvis uten først å ta av seg uteskoene sine.Gullhår og de tre bjørnene er et eventyr som antyder en rik bakhistorie. For det første (og mest vanlige i disse eventyrverdene), har bjørner lært seg husbygging og endret diett. De har gått fra laks og honning til å servere grøt i tallerkener. Dette kan vi la passere – menneskeliggjøring (eller antropomorfisering) har Aesop og andre skalder, historiefortellere og søvnsultede småbarnsforeldre holdt på med siden tidenes morgen.Det mer interessante er hvordan bjørnene – uten en klage! – serverer mat i individualisert temperatur, forberedt slik at den er perfekt for hver bjørn etter tiden det tar å gå en formiddagstur; de har bygd møbler tilpasset den enkelte bjørnerumpe; sengene er også tilpasset, fra bløtkakemyk til steinhard!Hvilke familiekompromisser ligger til grunne for slike ordninger? Det må jo være som å bo med folk på tre forskjellige dietter - den ene eter bare grønt, den andre bare kjøtt, den tredje bare flytende! Etter lange kriger, blackboards på kjøkkenet og oppgavefordeling, deler man til slutt opp hus og grøtfat i tre segmenter, og faller til ro i hvert sitt.Robert Southey, som skrev den originale historien om The Three Bears på attenhundretallet, klarer altså uten dialog å male et bakteppe som Shakespeare ville trengt flere monologer på.Kos dere med eventyr! Tusen takk til alle lytterne våre!

De engelska romantiska diktarna var inga världsfrånvända skönandar, utan politiska poeter som radikalt ville förändra samhället. Gabriella Håkansson berättar en historia som ofta glöms bort. ESSÄ: Detta är en text där skribenten reflekterar över ett ämne eller ett verk. Åsikter som uttrycks är skribentens egna. Essän sändes ursprungligen 2018. Tanken på att promenera har något idylliskt över sig. Ett slags frid förknippad med naturen kanske ser man en romantisk poet som William Wordsworth framför sig, som strövar runt i grönskan och stannar till för att besjunga en blomma eller en antik ruin vid vägkanten. Första gången jag hörde talas om den engelska romantiken var på gymnasiet, vi läste John Keats dikt Ode till en grekisk urna och diskuterade dess olika metapoetiska aspekter. Vi fick lära oss ord som ekfras och sonett, men inte i vilket sammanhang den här vackra poesin skrevs. Och visst fascinerades jag av lord Byrons incestuösa kärlekshistorier och Mary Shelleys tragiska liv men romantiken blev ändå för mig en estetisk, lite världsfrånvänd rörelse som målade upp ruiner i månljus, stilla promenader och vild natur, och jag tror att den här gymnasiala bilden av romantiken lever kvar hos många, ännu idag. Man brukar säga att startskottet för den engelska romantiken var diktsamlingen Lyrical Ballads. Den kom ut 1798, och skrevs gemensamt av Samuel Taylor Coleridge och William Wordsworth. Boken kom till medan de gick långa promenader i det engelska landskapet, och avhandlade Spinoza och tysk metafysik. Så sägs det i varje fall. Men Historien kan berättas på många sätt, och jag tänkte berätta en annan version, med mindre månljus och mer action, som tar sin utgångspunkt i Samuel Coleridge politiska engagemang. Redan som sjuttonåring skrev den unge poeten sin första prorevolutionära dikt "Bastiljens fall", och tre år senare år senare vann han en poesitävling med ett kritiskt Ode till slav-handeln. Hans rum på Cambridge blev snabbt ett centrum för den radikala studentrörelsen och han kom att umgås med den ökända klick ultraradikaler som kallades för de engelska jakobinerna. Bland dem fanns framstående författare som William Blake, filosofen Mary Wollstonecraft och hennes sambo William Godwin. Själva kallade de sig demokrater och ordnade massmöten där tiotusentals människor kom för att kräva allmän rösträtt. Staten fick kalla fötter och svarade med inskränkt mötesfrihet och gav kronan rätt att kasta vem som helst i fängelse. Konflikten mellan demokraterna och överhögheten förde England farligt nära  inbördeskrigets rand, och det var i de här kretsarna den 20-årige Coleridge befann sig när han formade som poet. Sommaren 1794 beslutade han sig för att prova den nya flugan att fotvandra. Att gå sågs inom rörelsen som det yttersta uttrycket för demokrati. Man klädde sig folkligt, hängde på lokala värdshus och umgicks med allmogen. Filosofiskt knöt man an till de antika vandrande föreläsarna, men promenaden var också ett sätt att återerövra den gamla medeltida idén om allmänningen, ja, att gå till fots var på alla sätt ett politiskt statement. Iklädd arbetarjacka, lösa byxor och ett bärbart bläckhorn vandrade Coleridge över 80 mil på en månad. Tillsammans med en annan radikal poet Robert Southey arbetade han därefter fram ett politiskt program där epokens alla progressiva idéer fördes samman till en messiansk häxbrygd. Under namnet Det pantisokratiska sällskapet skulle Coleridge och Southey  frälsa världen från sedelkapitalismens och civilisationens fördärv. Sällskapets syfte var att upprätta en självstyrande republik, där man och kvinna ska leva i enhet med naturen, dela makten och arbetet lika, och där allt privatägande är avskaffat. Pantisokratin får många anhängare, och 1796 lämnar Coleridge, Southey och en tredje kamrat storstan för att utropa den första pantisokratiska kommunen, i en liten lägenhet i Bristol. Men verkligheten kommer snart ikapp. Efter någon månad står man inte ut med varandra. Projektet kollapsar. karaktärerna hämtas från vardagslivet man skriver om barn, gamlingar och dårhjon  figurer som aldrig tidigare existerat i diktens värld. Men Coleridge ger inte upp. När han senare samma år gifter sig och bildar familj gör han ett nytt försök att realisera utopin, nu i mindre skala, på engelska landsbygden, och det är där han träffar William Wordsworth och dennes syster, Dorothy. Han ordnar ett hus åt syskonen bara ett stenkast från sitt eget, och fortsätter nu i deras sällskap sina radikala fotvandringar. I pantisokratisk anda diskuterar de tanken på att revolutionera litteraturen, och skapa ett verk som upplyser och förändrar människan i grunden. Wordsworth är entusiastisk, och 1797 påbörjas det gemensamma projektet med en diktsamling som ska komma att bryta med tidens alla estetiska ideal. Istället för högstämda parabler om grekiska gudar hämtar man stoff från balladen och folksagan, istället för hexameter använder man blankvers. Motiven lånas in från låga genrer som gotiken, och karaktärerna hämtas från vardagslivet man skriver om barn, gamlingar och dårhjon  figurer som aldrig tidigare existerat i diktens värld. Boken utkommer 1798 under titeln Lyrical Ballads och resten är historia. Men historien kan som sagt berättas på många olika sätt, och man kan undra varför just den här radikala, politiska bakgrunden till romantiken så ofta har hamnat i skymundan? Kanske för att författarna själva tog avstånd från sin radikalitet när franska revolutionen övergick i blodbad och Frankrike blev Englands ärkefiende. Man reviderade sina ungdomsdikter, och många vände kappan efter vinden och blev konservativa. Den ende som vägrade göra avbön var William Hazlitt, som dyrkade Napoleon ända till sin död. Som tack för det blev han bortglömd i 150 år. Men den förklaringen räcker ändå inte, för den andra generationens romantiker, med lord Byron och makarna Shelley i spetsen, var ju ännu mer avantgardistiska. De skrev en litteratur som öppet fördömde religionen, tog avstånd från äktenskapet och rasade över såväl kommersialismen som miljöförstöringen. Pantisokratin i all ära, men 1812 drog Percy Bysshe Shelley radikaliteten till sin yttersta spets och pekade ut köttätandet som roten till allt ont. Han förespråkade en vegetarisk kostreform som måste genomföras innan någon radikal utopi alls kunde bli verklighet. Shelley hade inte bara hämtat sitt tankegods från föregångarna Godwin och Wollstonecraft, han äktade också deras dotter, Mary. Hon, som 1814 i ett svar på makens subversiva dikt, Den befriade Prometheus, skriver romanen Frankenstein. Fem år senare sätter staten definitivt stopp för den radikala rörelsen genom att i Manchester skicka in kavalleriet när en folkmassa på 60 000 person i söndagskläder kräver rösträtt. Arton dör och 650 skadas i vad som kom att kallas för Peterloomassakern och med det är romantikens dagar räknade. Coleridge, Shelley och de andra börjar betraktas som mossiga, och det är inte förrän Viktorianerna långt senare försöker skapa en nationell kanon som de gamla romantikerna lyfts fram ur glömskan och nu påstås utgöra Englands guldålder. Men först dammas de av och skrubbas rena från obehagligt politiskt gods - och vips står den bildsköne lord Byron gipsbyst på var mans spiselhylla. Det är några av förklaringarna till hur en av Europas mest progressiva litterära rörelser kunde förvandlas till vacker, men uddlös estetik. Kanske kommer vi nu äntligen få se en renässans för alla de galna, visionära utopiska idéer som romantikerna också brann för? Gabriella Håkansson, författare

Today we celebrate the discovery and naming of the state of Florida. We'll also learn about one of the best botanical illustrators ever born as well as the man who introduced goldfish to Holland. We celebrate the publication of the first successful agricultural journal. Today's Unearthed Words feature words about April. We Grow That Garden Library™ with a book about trees that was released a year ago today - and it won the Pulitzer Prize in fiction. And then we'll wrap things up with the fascinating story of the German artist who found surreal inspiration in the natural world. But first, let's catch up on some Greetings from Gardeners around the world and today's curated news.   Subscribe Apple | Google | Spotify | Stitcher | iHeart   Gardener Greetings To participate in the Gardener Greetings segment, send your garden pics, stories, birthday wishes and so forth to Jennifer@theDailyGardener.org And, to listen to the show while you're at home, just ask Alexa or Google to play The Daily Gardener Podcast. It's that easy. Curated News Derek Jarman's Prospect Cottage saved for the nation "The success of the campaign will enable Art Fund to purchase Prospect Cottage from the Keith Collins Will Trust and to fund a permanent public program, the conservation and maintenance of the building, its collection, its contents, and its renowned garden. Before Art Fund's appeal, Prospect Cottage had been at risk of being sold privately, its contents dispersed, and artistic legacy lost. Art Fund's director Stephen Deuchar announced today that the appeal to save artist and filmmaker Derek Jarman's Prospect Cottage for the nation has successfully reached its £3.5-million target in just ten weeks, with a final total of £3,624,087. Over 8,100 donations have been made by the public – nearly 2,000 of them in the past week alone, despite the significant changes happening to people's lives - and further funding has come from leading charities, trusts, foundations, and philanthropists. The campaign was supported by major grants of £750,000 from the National Heritage Memorial Fund, £500,000 from Art Fund and £250,000 from the Linbury Trust, as well as significant support from the Luma Foundation, the Roger De Haan Charitable Trust, the John Browne Charitable Trust, and the Ampersand Foundation. Tilda Swinton said, 'When Derek initiated the project of making of this little house on the shingle the unique and magically empowering space it has come to be, not only for him but for so many of us, it was at a time of intense uncertainty and fragility in his own life. That our casting the net of our appeal to keep this project alive has coincided with the phenomenal global challenge to the community with which we are currently faced - and that that net has still come in so full of bounty - has only served to prove how invaluable this vision of future is to us all."   Goals For Your 2020 Garden What are you curious about in your garden?  What are you hoping to learn this season? How will your gardening change during the pandemic? Your greatest accomplishment might be the result you didn't plan to learn. Maybe you've always been a flower gardener, but this year you feel compelled to grow some edibles, and you discover the joy of growing your own garlic. Last year, you grew your own tomatoes to great success and ended up sharing some with neighbors. This year you want to help out the food shelf. Maybe you didn't like pulling weeds for your mom, but now with the pandemic, you suddenly find that tending to the yard is calming and anchoring. Now you want to have a garden of your own. Our gardens are classrooms. And those classrooms are filled with many teachers or Upah Gurus. Upah Guru is the Hindu word for the teacher next to you at any moment. The Upah Gurus in your garden this year might be the seeds you just ordered, a mystery plant that you inherited, the hydrangea that refuses to flower, the rose that won't give up. This year, they say there will be more new gardeners than ever as a result of the COVID-19 restrictions. Calling All Gardeners: Share Your Expertise Don't consider yourself an expert? Think again. One of the things that can happen to gardeners is that we can underestimate our own expertise or experience in the garden. But any experience is helpful to a gardener just starting out. To new gardeners, you can be a gardening Upah Guru. New Gardeners Need Encouragement Remind new gardeners that their primary job this year is to simply be a good student of gardening. They don't need to get straight A's in the garden. Let them know that no one is putting that pressure on them to replace the produce section of the grocery store. One of the biggest commitments new gardeners can make is simply to learn more about gardening. Encourage them to focus on the teaching - whether that is from books or podcasts or neighbors - because the teaching is what makes us better gardeners. The Benefits of Gardening go beyond food: physical, mental, spiritual Any gardener knows that being active in the garden is a form of exercise - just like walking, running, or playing basketball. It is legit exercise. As a pastime or a passion, gardening is a return to nature. It is connection with the natural world. It is grounding, and it is centering. It is good for us, physically and emotionally. After Walt Whitman suffered a debilitating stroke, he recovered by spending time in nature. The two years he spent walking the woods were his primary therapy, and he forever credited nature with his recovery. This is why I end every episode with, "For a happy, healthy life, garden every day." It's not just a slogan. I really believe those words.   Alright, that's it for today's gardening news. Now, if you'd like to check out my curated news articles and blog posts for yourself, you're in luck, because I share all of it with the Listener Community in the Free Facebook Group - The Daily Gardener Community. There's no need to take notes or search for links - the next time you're on Facebook, search for Daily Gardener Community and request to join. I'd love to meet you in the group.   Important Events 1513  Juan Ponce de León claims new land for Spain. He names his discovery La Florida; in a nod to the Easter Season, which the Spaniards called Pascua Florida (Festival of Flowers).   1647  Today is the birthday of a female botanical illustration powerhouse - Maria Sibylla Merian. She was born on April 2, 1647. As a frame of reference, Isaac Newton was only a few years older than her. Unlike Newton, Merian's work was largely forgotten. However, over the past century, her work has made its way to us. Merian has the "it" factor. In 2011, Janet Dailey, a retired teacher, and artist from Springfield, Illinois, became so captivated by Merian's life story that she started a Kickstarter campaign to follow Merian's footsteps to the mecca of her best work - Surinam, in South America. In 2013, Merian's birthday was commemorated with a "Google Doodle." Merian would have delighted in our modern-day effort to plant milkweed for the Monarchs. The concept that insects and plants are inextricably bound together was not lost on Merian. In her work, she carefully noted which caterpillars were specialists - meaning they ate only one kind of plant. (You can relate to that concept if your kid only wants to eat Mac and cheese; they aren't picky - they're specialists.) Before all these social media and high tech, drawings like Merian's were a holy grail for plant identification. One look at Merian's work and Linneaus immediately knew it was brilliant. Merian helped classify nearly 100 different species long after she was gone from the earth. To this day, entomologists acknowledge that the accuracy in her art is so good they can identify many of her butterflies and moths right down to the species level! Between 1716 and 1717, during the last year of her life, Merian was visited multiple times by her friend, artist Georg Gsell - and his friend Peter the Great. Oh, to be a fly on the wall for THAT meetup. Gsell ended up marrying Merian's youngest daughter, Dorothea Maria, and Peter the Great ended up with 256 Merian paintings. In fact, Peter the Great so loved these pieces that when Merian died shortly after his last visit, he immediately sent an agent to buy all of her remaining watercolors to bring them home to St. Petersburg. Here's a fun story for you. On the Maria Sibylla Merian Society website, the feature a video that shows writer Redmond O'Hanlon flipping through an original Merian folio (with gloveless hands!) Now O'Hanlon is a scholar and explorer himself. He is known for his journeys to some of the most remote jungles of the world. At one point in the video, he becomes speechless. Then, he just lets out this big sigh and says, "It's so simple. Without the slightest doubt, she is - she was the greatest painter of plants and insects who ever lived... I mean just between you and me, she's the greatest woman who ever lived. You can keep Catherine the Great. Maria Sybilla Merian is the real heroine of our civilized time."   1711  Today is the birthday of the Dutch naturalist and pond-owner-extraordinaire Job Baster. Baster was one of the first Dutch nature researchers to use a microscope to look at flora and fauna. He wrote down his findings in a book. He also wrote an excellent translation of Philip Miller's work on horticulture. In 1758, Baster was given a beautiful property loaded trees and two large ponds. He called it Zonnehof (Sunshine Farms). As a new pond owner, Baster decided to try his hand at breeding Goldfish. A versatile scientist, Baster exchanged letters with leading biologists of his time, and the first twelve fish arrive thanks to a contact in England. Unfortunately, all the goldfish die. The following year, Baster gets eighteen more fish. Two die, but the rest survive. Thirteen years later, Baster owned more than a thousand goldfish. When Baster died, an inventory of his estate showed that all of his goldfish had been sold - raising over seven hundred guilders (not a small amount at the time). That's Job Baster, the man who introduced goldfish to the Dutch. Baster also drew goldfish and then hand-colored the images. I've seen these images, and I'm telling you they have that iridescence that makes them look like someone just laid out real goldfish on the page - they are that life-like after all this time. Baster had a large collection of shells. At the time, adhering shells to furniture was a fad in Europe. Baster took the fad and ran with it, covering a buffet with European and Tropical shells. At the bottom of the buffet are the coat of arms of Baster (jumping greyhound) and his wife Jacoba Vink (climbing lion) - all made out of shells. After seeing the Baster buffet at the Royal Zeeland Society of Sciences, one sightseer commented, "one can almost hear Baster's wife, who donated the piece to the museum after his death, saying, "Job, will you do something with all those shells!" To honor Baster's work with mollusks, there is a floating snail named for Baster, and the Dutch Malacological Association's scientific journal "Basteria" is a nod to this versatile explorer of the natural world.   1819  Today the first successful agricultural journal, American Farmer, was published in Baltimore.   Unearthed Words Here are some poignant words about this time of year.    April comes like an idiot, babbling, and strewing flowers. — Edna St. Vincent Millay, American lyrical poet, and playwright   A gush of bird-song, a patter of dew,  A cloud, and a rainbow's warning,  Suddenly sunshine and perfect blue–  An April day in the morning. ― Harriet Prescott Spofford, American writer   Tis spring-time on the eastern hills!  Like torrents gush the summer rills;  Through winter's moss and dry dead leaves  The bladed grass revives and lives,  Pushes the moldering waste away,  And glimpses to the April day. — John Greenleaf Whittier, American Quaker poet   Three things a wise man will not trust, The wind, the sunshine of an April day, And woman's plighted faith. — Robert Southey, English poet   The children with the streamlets sing,  When April stops at last her weeping;  And every happy growing thing  Laughs like a babe just roused from sleeping. — Lucy Larcom, American teacher, author, and poet   She waits for me, my lady Earth,  Smiles and waits and Sighs ; I'll say her nay and hideaway,  Then take her by surprise. — Mary Mapes Dodge, American children's author Oh, the lovely fickleness of an April day.  — William Hamilton Gibson, American illustrator, author, and naturalist   Grow That Garden Library The Overstory by Richard Powers It's hard to believe that this book was published on this day already a year ago in 2019. This book won the Pulitzer Prize in fiction. It's a New York Times bestseller. The author Ann Patchett said, "The best novel ever written about trees, and really just one of the best novels, period." The book is 512 pages of stories or more precisely fables - all told with trees in mind. This is Richard's 12th novel, and in it, we learn about trees and their world - that is just as big as ours - just as interconnected and creative and responsive and powerful. Yet many of us are oblivious to trees and what they have to tell us about the world we share together.

He sketched the gardens at Bruhl castle - the castle in his home town. In fact, some of his most beautiful works involved flowers, forests, suns, birds, and gardens. Max had no formal training. Yet, he created a technique called Frottage or texture rubbings or rubbing on paper - and he used plants or the texture of wood planks and other items in the house to create some wonderful artwork. He also created grattage or scraping paint across the canvas to reveal the imprints of the objects placed beneath it. At one point in his life, he lived with the surrealist painter Leonara Carrington who once reflected on their relationship with the natural world. Gardeners will be able to relate to the Max and Leonara drawing Inspiration from the garden in the early morning: "We went down into the silent garden. Dawn is the time when nothing breathes, the hour of silence. Everything is transfixed, only the light moves." Ernst once remarked: "Art has nothing to do with taste. Art is not there to be tasted." Ernst was not comfortable with his fame. He once lamented, "He, who would rather have a single wild strawberry, than all the laurels in the world."

In this episode the Storyteller Kathy Shimpock tells you a little known version of "The Three Bears." In this version, the character of Goldilocks is traded for that of an old woman. This 1837 literary tale was written by Robert Southey. The story reflects Victorian stereotypes and biases that viewed the old and the poor as criminals. We see similar beliefs expressed today. The crone in this story, however, gives us all a dire warning.Story: Southey, Robert, "The Three Bears," in The Doctor (London, 1837). Story: "The Story of Sarah Collins" written by Kathy Shimpock.

Library Lunchtime Lecture by Dr Daniel Roberts, Queen's University Belfast. The third lecture in our series on 'Discovering Thomas Moore.' This lecture series accompanied our exhibition 'Discovering Thomas Moore: Ireland in nineteenth-century Europe'. Curated by musicologist Dr Sarah McCleave, School of Arts, English & Languages, QUB, the exhibition and lecture series exposes the breadth of Moore's research and writing about Ireland and explores Moore's role as an Irish writer with an international reputation in positioning Ireland within Europe through cultural exchange. It also addresses contemporary European fascination with the orient and Moore's influential role in depicting eastern culture, particularly via his hugely successful work, Lalla Rookh. Location: Academy House Date: Wednesday 6 November, 2019 Speaker: Daniel Sanjiv Roberts teaches Eighteenth-Century and Romantic-Period Literature at Queen's University Belfast. He has edited Thomas De Quincey and Robert Southey and written extensively on Romanticism and the East.

De engelska romantiska diktarna var inga världsfrånvända skönandar, utan politiska poeter som radikalt ville förändra samhället. Gabriella Håkansson berättar en historia som ofta glöms bort. ESSÄ: Detta är en text där skribenten reflekterar över ett ämne eller ett verk. Åsikter som uttrycks är skribentens egna. Tanken på att promenera har något idylliskt över sig. Ett slags frid förknippad med naturen kanske ser man en romantisk poet som William Wordsworth framför sig, som strövar runt i grönskan och stannar till för att besjunga en blomma eller en antik ruin vid vägkanten. Första gången jag hörde talas om den engelska romantiken var på gymnasiet, vi läste John Keats dikt Ode till en grekisk urna och diskuterade dess olika metapoetiska aspekter. Vi fick lära oss ord som ekfras och sonett, men inte i vilket sammanhang den här vackra poesin skrevs. Och visst fascinerades jag av lord Byrons incestuösa kärlekshistorier och Mary Shelleys tragiska liv men romantiken blev ändå för mig en estetisk, lite världsfrånvänd rörelse som målade upp ruiner i månljus, stilla promenader och vild natur, och jag tror att den här gymnasiala bilden av romantiken lever kvar hos många, ännu idag. Sällskapets syfte var att upprätta en självstyrande republik, där man och kvinna ska leva i enhet med naturen, dela makten och arbetet lika, och där allt privatägande är avskaffat. Man brukar säga att startskottet för den engelska romantiken var diktsamlingen Lyrical Ballads. Den kom ut 1798, och skrevs gemensamt av Samuel Taylor Coleridge och William Wordsworth. Boken kom till medan de gick långa promenader i det engelska landskapet, och avhandlade Spinoza och tysk metafysik. Så sägs det i varje fall. Men Historien kan berättas på många sätt, och jag tänkte berätta en annan version, med mindre månljus och mer action, som tar sin utgångspunkt i Samuel Coleridge politiska engagemang. Redan som sjuttonåring skrev den unge poeten sin första prorevolutionära dikt "Bastiljens fall", och tre år senare år senare vann han en poesitävling med ett kritiskt Ode till slav-handeln. Hans rum på Cambridge blev snabbt ett centrum för den radikala studentrörelsen och han kom att umgås med den ökända klick ultraradikaler som kallades för de engelska jakobinerna. Bland dem fanns framstående författare som William Blake, filosofen Mary Wollstonecraft och hennes sambo William Godwin. Själva kallade de sig demokrater och ordnade massmöten där tiotusentals människor kom för att kräva allmän rösträtt. Staten fick kalla fötter och svarade med inskränkt mötesfrihet och gav kronan rätt att kasta vem som helst i fängelse. Konflikten mellan demokraterna och överhögheten förde England farligt nära  inbördeskrigets rand, och det var i de här kretsarna den 20-årige Coleridge befann sig när han formade som poet. Sommaren 1794 beslutade han sig för att prova den nya flugan att fotvandra. Att gå sågs inom rörelsen som det yttersta uttrycket för demokrati. Man klädde sig folkligt, hängde på lokala värdshus och umgicks med allmogen. Filosofiskt knöt man an till de antika vandrande föreläsarna, men promenaden var också ett sätt att återerövra den gamla medeltida idén om allmänningen, ja, att gå till fots var på alla sätt ett politiskt statement. Iklädd arbetarjacka, lösa byxor och ett bärbart bläckhorn vandrade Coleridge över 80 mil på en månad. Tillsammans med en annan radikal poet Robert Southey arbetade han därefter fram ett politiskt program där epokens alla progressiva idéer fördes samman till en messiansk häxbrygd. Under namnet Det pantisokratiska sällskapet skulle Coleridge och Southey  frälsa världen från sedelkapitalismens och civilisationens fördärv. Sällskapets syfte var att upprätta en självstyrande republik, där man och kvinna ska leva i enhet med naturen, dela makten och arbetet lika, och där allt privatägande är avskaffat. Pantisokratin får många anhängare, och 1796 lämnar Coleridge, Southey och en tredje kamrat storstan för att utropa den första pantisokratiska kommunen, i en liten lägenhet i Bristol. Men verkligheten kommer snart ikapp. Efter någon månad står man inte ut med varandra. Projektet kollapsar. karaktärerna hämtas från vardagslivet man skriver om barn, gamlingar och dårhjon  figurer som aldrig tidigare existerat i diktens värld. Men Coleridge ger inte upp. När han senare samma år gifter sig och bildar familj gör han ett nytt försök att realisera utopin, nu i mindre skala, på engelska landsbygden, och det är där han träffar William Wordsworth och dennes syster, Dorothy. Han ordnar ett hus åt syskonen bara ett stenkast från sitt eget, och fortsätter nu i deras sällskap sina radikala fotvandringar. I pantisokratisk anda diskuterar de tanken på att revolutionera litteraturen, och skapa ett verk som upplyser och förändrar människan i grunden. Wordsworth är entusiastisk, och 1797 påbörjas det gemensamma projektet med en diktsamling som ska komma att bryta med tidens alla estetiska ideal. Istället för högstämda parabler om grekiska gudar hämtar man stoff från balladen och folksagan, istället för hexameter använder man blankvers. Motiven lånas in från låga genrer som gotiken, och karaktärerna hämtas från vardagslivet man skriver om barn, gamlingar och dårhjon  figurer som aldrig tidigare existerat i diktens värld. Boken utkommer 1798 under titeln Lyrical Ballads och resten är historia. Men historien kan som sagt berättas på många olika sätt, och man kan undra varför just den här radikala, politiska bakgrunden till romantiken så ofta har hamnat i skymundan? Kanske för att författarna själva tog avstånd från sin radikalitet när franska revolutionen övergick i blodbad och Frankrike blev Englands ärkefiende. Man reviderade sina ungdomsdikter, och många vände kappan efter vinden och blev konservativa. Den ende som vägrade göra avbön var William Hazlitt, som dyrkade Napoleon ända till sin död. Som tack för det blev han bortglömd i 150 år. Men den förklaringen räcker ändå inte, för den andra generationens romantiker, med lord Byron och makarna Shelley i spetsen, var ju ännu mer avantgardistiska. De skrev en litteratur som öppet fördömde religionen, tog avstånd från äktenskapet och rasade över såväl kommersialismen som miljöförstöringen. Pantisokratin i all ära, men 1812 drog Percy Bysshe Shelley radikaliteten till sin yttersta spets och pekade ut köttätandet som roten till allt ont. Han förespråkade en vegetarisk kostreform som måste genomföras innan någon radikal utopi alls kunde bli verklighet. Shelley hade inte bara hämtat sitt tankegods från föregångarna Godwin och Wollstonecraft, han äktade också deras dotter, Mary. Hon, som 1814 i ett svar på makens subversiva dikt, Den befriade Prometheus, skriver romanen Frankenstein. de gamla romantikerna lyfts fram ur glömskan och nu påstås utgöra Englands guldålder. Men först dammas de av och skrubbas rena från obehagligt politiskt gods Fem år senare sätter staten definitivt stopp för den radikala rörelsen genom att i Manchester skicka in kavalleriet när en folkmassa på 60 000 person i söndagskläder kräver rösträtt. Arton dör och 650 skadas i vad som kom att kallas för Peterloomassakern och med det är romantikens dagar räknade. Coleridge, Shelley och de andra börjar betraktas som mossiga, och det är inte förrän Viktorianerna långt senare försöker skapa en nationell kanon som de gamla romantikerna lyfts fram ur glömskan och nu påstås utgöra Englands guldålder. Men först dammas de av och skrubbas rena från obehagligt politiskt gods - och vips står den bildsköne lord Byron gipsbyst på var mans spiselhylla. Det är några av förklaringarna till hur en av Europas mest progressiva litterära rörelser kunde förvandlas till vacker, men uddlös estetik. I England närmar man sig nu tvåhundraårsdagen av Peterloomassakern och säkert kommer man hedra de som föll offer för statens våld. Kanske kommer vi nu äntligen få se en renässans för alla de galna, visionära utopiska idéer som romantikerna också brann för? Gabriella Håkansson, författare

I have made what may be one of the world's seventeen greatest discoveries. It is this: “Always keep it short and to the point.” You may disagree, citing Robert Southey who said, “It is with words as with sunbeams. The more they are condensed, the deeper they burn,” or Shakespeare who promised in Hamlet, “Therefore, since brevity is the soul of wit, and tediousness the limbs and outward flourishes, I will be brief.” Of course you are not questioning my point, just my assertion that I personally made the discovery. Naturally, I know that Baltasar Gracián said that “Good things, when short, are twice as good.,” in The Art of Worldly Wisdom; and Thomas Jefferson said, “The most valuable of all talents is that of never using two words when one will do.” These great minds along with many others counsel us to be concise and not impose on the patience of anyone when we can avoid it. They have mostly intended their advice for the written word. For example, Lord Sandwich advised, “If any man will draw up his case, and put his name at the foot of the first page, I will give him an immediate reply. Where he compels me to turn over the sheet, he must wait my leisure.” Or even more expansively and intending his point for every-day conversation, Mozart reported this, “My great-grandfather used to say to his wife, my great-grandmother, who in turn told her daughter, my grandmother, who repeated it to her daughter, my mother, who used to remind her daughter, my own sister, that to talk well and eloquently was a very great art, but that an equally great one was to know the right moment to stop.” Dennis Roth made the same point but even briefer, “If it takes a lot of words to say what you have in mind, give it more thought;” and David Belasco was even more pithy, “If you can't write your idea on the back of my calling card, you don't have a clear idea.” The point is whether writing or talking, don't be who Rabelais was talking about when he said, “He replies nothing but monosyllables. I believe he would make three bites of a cherry.” William Strunk Jr.cut to the chace for us, “A sentence should contain no unnecessary words, a paragraph no unnecessary sentences, for the same reason that a drawing should have no unnecessary lines and a machine no unnecessary parts.” Just omit whatever is not necessarily necessary. That brings me back to my great discovery. Yes, I am still saying that it is my discovery, even though others have argued for brevity and conciseness long before I ever had a useful thought. Here is the discovery part of my discovery. Whenever anyone starts to argue with whatever you have said or done, always keep it short and to the point. You will be tempted to reciprocate with a counter-argument, further explanation or justification, but there is seldom any point to the effort. Winning arguments is most always a futile hope. Instead, calmly wait until the other person has stopped pressing their argument – and they will stop sooner or later. At that point, simply say, “Thanks for sharing your perspective.” If the other person picks back up with arguing, wait and repeat. You may not think this is one of the seventeen greatest discoveries ever, but don't reject it until you've tried it. Now you know so there you go.

Turistas con puñetas es una sección dedicada a los viajeros europeos que vinieron a España en el siglo XVIII y a sus opiniones que reflejaron y publicaron en lo que podríamos considerar guías de viajes pioneras. Turistas con puñetas, primero porque vinieron en el siglo XVIII y puñetas eran lo que les salía de las bocamangas, y segundo porque conocieron nuestro país y luego escribieron sobre él con pluma muy puñetera, todo hay que decirlo. Robert Southey fue uno de los viajeros más engreídos, altaneros, antipáticos, ácidos y quejicosos que pisaron la Península Ibérica. Algunos de los comentarios más hirientes sobre España salieron de su pluma. Paradojas de la vida, es elogiado también como uno de los más reputados hispanistas del siglo XIX

A beautiful day calls for a walk in the woods, for girls and bears alike.

En este episodio de El Viajero Accidental hablamos de una desconocida en España que sin embargo tuvo una larga tradición por el Cantábrico y Galicia: la pesca de la ballena. Hablamos con Àlex Aguilar, catedrático del Departamento de Biología Animal de la UB y miembro del Comité Científico de la Comisión Ballenera Internacional, así como empedernido viajero. Él nos cuenta sobre esta apasionante y literaria actividad, desde su comienzo en el País Vasco y en especial su desarrollo en Galicia. También tenemos a José Martínez Cedeira de CEMMA (“Coordinadora para o estudio dos Mamíferos Mariños”) que nos habla de las numerosas actividades alrededor de la protección de los cetáceos. José Juan Picos en la sección Turistas con Puñetas, nos ilustra sobre uno de los poetas precursores del romanticismo inglés, Robert Southey, que viajó a regañadientes por la España del siglo XIX.

You likely know Theodore Roosevelt said, “Speak softly and carry a big stick.” He also said, “The unforgivable crime is soft hitting. Do not hit at all if it can be avoided, but never hit softly.” Ralph Waldo Emerson counseled, “There is no strong performance without a little fanaticism in the performer,” and Oscar Wilde added, “Moderation is a fatal thing, nothing succeeds like excess.” “Put a grain of boldness into everything you do.” You will do well to follow this advice from Baltasar Gracian who also said, “He who finds Fortune on his side should go briskly ahead, for she is wont to favor the bold.” … . . . . . There is a Swedish Proverb that advises, “Fear less, hope more, eat less, chew more, whine less, breathe more, talk less, say more, hate less, love more, and all good things are yours.” This is all very good advice, but for today, focus on breathing. Svatmarama, the yogi, instructed, “When the breath wanders the mind also is unsteady. But when the breath is calmed the mind too will be still, and the yogi achieves long life. Therefore, one should learn to control the breath.”  As the famous Anon. pointed out, “A healthy mind has an easy breath.” If you are doubting, the words of Andrea Boydston tell you all you need to know, “If you woke up breathing, congratulations!{{pause=0.3}}{{pause=0.3}} You have another chance.” Accept the wise counsel of Thich Nhat Hanh, “Smile, breathe and go slowly.” “For breath is life, and if you breathe well you will live long on earth.” (Sanskrit Proverb) . . . . . Robert Southey said, “It is with words as with sunbeams. The more they are condensed, the deeper they burn,” and Baltasar Gracian said, “Good things, when short, are twice as good.” Shakespeare also touted brevity, “Therefore, since brevity is the soul of wit, and tediousness the limbs and outward flourishes, I will be brief. Even Thomas Jefferson joined the keep it short chorus, “The most valuable of all talents is that of never using two words when one will do.” No less an authority than William Strunk, Jr. sang along, “A sentence should contain no unnecessary words, a paragraph no unnecessary sentences, for the same reason that a drawing should have no unnecessary lines and a machine no unnecessary parts.” As surprising as it may be, Mozart, himself, warbled along, although he was definitely a dib off key, “My great-grandfather used to say to his wife, my great-grandmother, who in turn told her daughter, my grandmother, who repeated it to her daughter, my mother, who used to remind her daughter, my own sister, that to talk well and eloquently was a very great art, but that an equally great one was to know the right moment to stop.”

In Bristol in 1799, a young man started to experiment with newly discovered gases, looking for a cure for tuberculosis. Humphry Davy, aged 20, nearly killed himself inhaling carbon monoxide. Nitrous oxide was next. It was highly pleasurable, ‘particularly in the chest and extremities’ and he began to dance around his laboratory ‘like a madman’, before passing out. By day, he gave the gas to patients, carefully noting their reactions. In the evenings, he invited his friends over to have a laugh (with assistants on standby to revive them with oxygen, as needed). The Romantic poets, Robert Southey and Samuel Taylor Coleridge could barely contain their excitement. During one session, Davy noted that the gas numbed his toothache and suggested that it could perhaps be used during surgical operations. But it was another fifty years before nitrous oxide was used by doctors. Throughout the 20th century, it was widely used during dentistry and to numb the pain of childbirth. (Nitrous oxide is the gas in ‘gas and air’: the ‘air’ is oxygen) .And it still is today, but less so. (It’s a potent greenhouse gas that damages the ozone layer, it’s difficult to store and there are side-effects). But, just as medical use is diminishing, recreational use is on the rise. A new generation of pleasure seekers have started experimenting, just as Davy did, despite the associated risks of injuries caused by fainting and death by suffocation. Naomi Alderman tells how a gas that created ‘ecstatic lunatics’ came to be used as an anaesthetic, with help from biographer, Richard Holmes and anaesthetist, Kevin Fong.

Aquí caben cuatro de nuestros podcasts normales…Y como comprendo lo tochaco que es, aquí os dejo un "resumen" de lo que podéis encontrar en él, para que os sea fácil llegar sólo a los cachos que os interesen (que no me entere yo, malditos...).I. INTRO y bla, bla, blaSaludos a los oyentes, comentarios y tres promos:Comando Alt SuprimirInvaders PodcastPodcast CaramelizadoII. 1ª PARTE: Génesis -vampiros en la antigüedad y otras culturasUn poco sobre los antepasados del vampirismo y leyendas de diversas culturas (Mesopotamia, Grecia antigua, Asia, América...).III. 2ª PARTE: Europa y la histeria del siglo XVIIIOtro poco sobre el origen del vampiro tal y como lo conocemos, los puntos débiles de los chupasangres y características en general.

IV. 3ª PARTE: Vampiros en la literatura y el cineEl grueso del podcast, supongo.Comenzando en el Romanticismo y las novelas de terror gótico, hacemos un tour por muchas de las obras en las que el vampiro hace su aparición.Aquí incluyo un listado, y como en el podcast mencionamos que algunos poemas los pondríamos en el blog, los he añadido. Der Vampir (Heinrich August Ossenfelder)Mi querida y joven doncella se aferraInflexible, rápida y firmementeA las antiguas enseñanzasDe una madre siempre fiel,Así como, en las orillas del Tisza,Los oficiales húngarosCreen en la leyenda del vampiro inmortal.Pero mi Christine, perdéis el tiempo,Y rechazáis mi amor,Hasta que yo, vengativo,Brinde a la salud de un vampiroCon pálido Tokay (vino húngaro). Y mientras durmáis delicadamenteA vos vendré arrastrándome,Y la sangre de vuestra vida absorberé.Y así temblaréis,Pues yo estaré besándoos,Y vos estaréis cruzando las puertas de la MuerteCon miedo, en mis fríos brazos.Y al final os preguntaré:“Comparados con tal enseñanza¿Qué son los encantos de una madre?” La novia de Corinto (Goethe)A salir de mi tumba y errar soy forzada,A buscar el vínculo a Dios hace tiempo cortado,A amar al prometido que he perdidoHasta que la sangre vital de su corazón haya bebido.Thalaba el Destructor (Robert Southey) Christabel (Samuel Taylor Coleridge)El Giaour (Lord Byron)[fragmento]Pero primero, sobre la tierra, como vampiro enviado,tu cadáver de la tumba será arrancado;luego, lívido, vagarás por el que fuera tu hogar,y la sangre de todos los tuyos has de beber;allí, de tu hija, hermana y esposa,a medianoche, la fuente de la vida secarás;Aunque abomines del banquete, debes, forzosamente,nutrir tu lívido cadáver viviente. Tus víctimas, antes de expirar,en el demonio a su señor verán;maldiciéndote, maldiciéndose,tus flores marchitándose están en el tallo.Pero una que por tu crimen debe caer,la más joven, entre todas, la más amada,llamándote padre, te bendecirá:¡esta palabra envolverá en llamas tu corazón! Pero concluir debes tu trabajo y observaren sus mejillas el último color;de sus ojos el último destello,y su postrera y vidriosa mirada debes verhelarse sobre el azul sin vida. Con impías manos desharás luegolas trenzas de su dorado cabello,que fueron en vida bucles por ti acariciadosy con promesas de tierno amor despeinados;¡pero ahora tú lo arrebatas, monumento a tu agonía! Con tu propia y mejor sangre chorrearántus rechinantes dientes y macilentos labios.Luego, a tu lóbrega tumba caminarás;ve, y con demonios y espíritus delira,hasta que de horror estremecidos, huyande un espectro más abominable que ellos.The Vampyre (John William Polidori)The Skeleton Court, or The Vampire Mistress (Elizabeth Caroline Grey) Varney the Vampire (James Malcolm Rymer) Carmilla (Sheridan LeFanu) Drácula (Bram Stoker)Vampire of the CoastThe Vampire (Robert Vignola) Nosferatu, una sinfonía de horror (F.

In the 200th anniversary of her birth, Charlotte Bronte's true identity revealed through five powerful, poignant letters.The poet laureate Robert Southey's letter to Charlotte Bronte is now infamous: "Literature cannot be the business of a woman's life, and it ought not to be. The more she is engaged in her proper duties, the less leisure will she have for it even as an accomplishment and a recreation."The scholar and Bronte biographer Lyndall Gordon, explores Bronte's response to this letter, in all its ambiguity: "In the evenings, I confess, I do think, but never trouble anyone else with my thoughts."Producer: Beaty Rubens.

A poet called Robert Southey who lived in the late 1700's and early 1800's wrote: What are boys made of? Slugs and snails and puppy dog tails. That's what boys are made of. What are girls made of? Sugar and spice and all things nice. That's what girls are made of. I think that there is some truth to this poem. I know we can't always generalize, but I have noticed some differences between my boys and my girl and her girlfriends. The boys take more risks as far as physical danger, whereas the girls seem to be careful. The girls are very interested in social situations and 'playing' like adults, but the boys are more interested in adventure, survival-type situations, and the wilderness. And finally, boys seem to bring the outside world into the house a lot more than girls do(1). My boys went to a large pond to fish with their father, and came back happy and tired. They had managed to catch creyfish. They talked about their trip, put their gear(2) away, and then didn't really say anything else. The next morning I woke up to a humming(3) sound coming from downstairs. I went down and found, on the desk next to the computer, a large, plastic box half full of brown water. The hum was coming from an air pump(4) that had been placed inside (this was one that we had used in the past for gold fish). I looked inside.To my horror, I saw about five shiny, black creyfish sitting on top of eachother on a rock. Their antenna were moving, their eyes were slimy, and when they saw me, they slid into the water. The smell that came up from the water was just like the stinky pond weed that they live in. I was not a happy camper(5). "Just how many days were you planning on keeping these creatures in the lounge?" I asked my boys with a frown. "I don't know," was their answer. Great! We've got two dogs, a cat, a mouse that sneezes all the time, and now some stinky, creepy wet things. As I put them outside under a tree, I asked myself, "What next? Frogs in the fridge? Slugs on the sofa? Beetles in the bathroom? Why don't I rename myself Noah, and open my front door to all the creatures of Wenatchee?" When I had calmed down, I told my boys that they had to look after the things in the box. I washed my hands, and sat down to watch television with my clean little girl. 1. The use of 'do' and 'does' at the end of a comparative sentence. a. He reads a lot more than you do. b. She eats a lot more than her husband does. 2. 'Gear' is a general word for all types of equipment, especially used for sports and hobbies. a. After skiing, it takes a while to put all of the gear away. b. The fishing gear had to be sprayed with water to wash off the stinky pond weed. 3. 'Humming' comes from the verb 'to hum'. It is a sound made by a human, animal, or device that is like a vibration. Someone 'hums' to music when they don't sing the words, but make the melody with their mouths closed. a. He hummed happily while he worked in the garden. b. I didn't know the lyrics, so I just hummed the tune. 4. An 'air pump' is a device which forces air to flow from one place to another, usually via a tube or pipe. a. We need to find a high pressure air pump because my tires are flat. b. We pumped air into the plastic mattress for a more comfortable camping experience. 5. 'Not a happy camper' is a jokey phrase often used in England to mean that a person was upset or angry. a. He borrowed the car without asking permission; his mother was not a happy camper! b. A stinky creyfish escaped and crawled across the carpet. I was not a happy camper! You're all welcome to join my FACEBOOK page called Anna Fromacupofenglish. Questions? Comments?

Nyfikenhet var själva synden i den bilderboksversion av Guldlock som Anna Tullberg växte upp med. Men bokens sensmoral fick omvänd effekt på programmakaren. Guldlock äter gröt, sitter sönder stolar och somnar i den lilla, lilla björnens säng. Godnattsagan om flickan Guldlock som gör intrång hos björnfamiljen är läst och lyssnad till av generationer barn sedan den första gången skrevs som prosaberättelse 1837 av den brittiske poeten Robert Southey.

Part of the Shelley's Ghost Exhibition. Godwin's memoir of Mary Wollstonecraft has been called the first modern biography. At the time, however, its frankness and emotional candour provoked general outrage. Godwin did not hesitate to include the most painful and scandalous episodes in Mary's life: her brutal, drunken father; her affair with Gilbert Imlay and the birth of their illegitimate daughter, Fanny; her two suicide attempts; her unconventional religious faith; the ghastly details of her death. The poet Robert Southey joined the chorus of disapproval and condemned Godwin for 'stripping his dead wife naked'.

Southey read by Classic Poetry Aloud: http://www.classicpoetryaloud.com/ Giving voice to the poetry of the past. --------------------------------------------- His Books by Robert Southey (1774 – 1843) My days among the Dead are past; Around me I behold, Where'er these casual eyes are cast, The mighty minds of old: My never-failing friends are they, With whom I converse day by day. With them I take delight in weal And seek relief in woe; And while I understand and feel How much to them I owe, My cheeks have often been bedew'd With tears of thoughtful gratitude. My thoughts are with the Dead; with them I live in long-past years, Their virtues love, their faults condemn, Partake their hopes and fears; And from their lessons seek and find Instruction with an humble mind. My hopes are with the Dead; anon My place with them will be, And I with them shall travel on Through all Futurity; Yet leaving here a name, I trust, That will not perish in the dust.

Did you know that "Goldilocks and the Three Bears" is not really a folk tale? That's because it was written, at least in its present form, by the English poet Robert Southey (1774-1843) although he may have based it on an actual folk tale of some sort. In our version, which is based on his, Goldilocks is a Valley Girl and Papa Bear is a hippie. And does anybody really eat porridge? We come to you from Orlando, Florida, where Zephyr has made his umpteenth venture into Disney MGM and Disney's Animal Kingdom. In the latter, he rode the brand new ride Expedition Everest. He also made his presence known for the first time at Universal Orlando, devoting a day each to Universal Studios and Islands of Adventure. (His offical judgment is that the Spiderman ride is "officially awesome".) Meanwhile, mom and dad had a brand new experience at SkyVenture, a training facility for skydivers. They didn't jump out of any planes, but they did float on a column of air and felt like Spiderman for a few minutes. Happy Listening, Dennis (Mama Bear), Kimberly (like-Goldie-ya know?) and Zephyr (Papa and Baby Bear) Goza
