To the displeasure of many a maiden, its enjoyment is short lived. Once satisfied, it ceases to exist, and always costs dearly. 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.

Situated on the cusp of the Romantic era, Thomas Gray's work is a mixture of impersonal Augustan abstraction and intense subjectivity. ‘Elegy Written in a Country Churchyard' is one of the most famous poems in the English language, and continues to exert its influence on contemporary poetry. Mark and Seamus explore three of Gray's elegiac poems and their peculiar emotional power. They discuss Gray's ambiguous sexuality, his procrastination and class anxieties, and where his humour shines through – as in his elegy for Horace Walpole's cat.Non-subscribers will only hear an extract from this episode.

This episode looks at four poems whose subject would seem to lie beyond words: the death of a child. A defining feature of elegy is the struggle between poetic eloquence and inarticulate grief, and in these works by Ben Jonson, Anne Bradstreet, Geoffrey Hill and Elizabeth Bishop we find that tension at its most acute. Mark and Seamus consider the way each poem deals with the traditional demand of the elegy for consolation, and what happens when the form and language of love poetry subverts elegiac conventions.Non-subscribers will only hear an extract from this episode.

In this episode, Dr. John Patrick reflects on the lessons embedded in history, literature, and cultural values. Drawing from the poetry of Thomas Gray and the writings of Roger Scruton, Dr. Patrick explores the erosion of biblical literacy, the shift away from reasonableness, and the societal implications of technological and cultural advancements. He contrasts the enduring strength of Judeo-Christian principles with the modern challenges of moral relativism, political ambition, and the neglect of foundational truths. This thought-provoking discussion bridges historical insights with contemporary issues, offering a compelling narrative on responsibility, humility, and the significance of preserving timeless values. // LINKS // Website: https://www.johnpatrick.ca/ Podcast: https://doctorjohnpatrick.podbean.com/ Biblical Literate Quiz: https://www.johnpatrick.ca/meaning-metaphor-and-allusion/ Recommended Reading list: https://www.johnpatrick.ca/book-list/ Ask Doctor John: https://www.johnpatrick.ca/ask/ LINKS: https://beacons.ai/doctorjohnpatrick

On August 22 1831, Nat Turner led a group of enslaved people in a rebellion that resulted in the deaths of more than a hundred people, Black and white, in Virginia's Southampton County, near the border with North Carolina. Though the conflict only lasted a few days, Nat himself evaded capture for two months, until he surrendered on October 30. Before his execution on November 11, he spoke at length about his thoughts and deeds, which were written down by the lawyer Thomas Gray as The Confessions of Nat Turner. In a new book, the late historian Anthony E. Kaye and his collaborator Gregory P. Downs make the case that the religious dimension of Nat's uprising has been underplayed or overlooked in popular accounts of his work—despite the prevalence of divine vision both in the Confessions and in prior rebellions. Nat Turner, Black Prophet aims to tell the full story of this “uniquely troublesome historical figure, too dangerous for some, too strange for others.”Go beyond the episode:Nat Turner, Black Prophet: A Visionary History by Anthony E. Kaye with Gregory P. DownsNat's bible is on view at the National Museum of African American History and CultureFor more on how the place of religion has changed in modern society—and how religious men like Nat saw themselves in theirs—see Charles Taylor, A Secular Age Historians increasingly write about the Civil War as the largest (and most successful) slave rebellion in history—but W.

The fifth night was the coldest, and Thomas Gray worried he might freeze to death if he stopped moving. The 73-year-old boater from North Fork, Idaho, was huddled inside a pitch-black trailer just outside the remote Frank Church River of No Return Wilderness on May 21. He was near an empty campground and silent airstrip; the only road there was snowed in and the highway was miles away and over a mountain pass. Gray’s story is harrowing and improbable, not only because of his own feat of backcountry survival, but because his brother died two years earlier, almost to the day, in almost the same place, when they attempted the same float that year. With me today is Joshua Murdock, outdoors and natural resources reporter at the Missoulian. He extensively interviewed Thomas Gray, his wife Lori, the people who found him and the people involved in searching for his brother two years ago.

In the fifth episode of Series Seven, host Andrew Martin meets anthropologist and Welsh professional genealogist, Dai Davies, and finds out how they got hooked on researching family history, the challenges of researching Welsh family history from afar, and their thoughts on how the genealogy community could become a better place.THE LIFE STORY - DAVID DAVIES Dai has chosen to tell the life story of their 8x Great Uncle, David Davies who was born in 1754 in a small parish near Lampeter in West Wales, and was the son of tenant farmers and Wesleyan Methodists. Dai was excited to discover this person in their tree, as David Davies was a highly influential educator, minister, and political poet in Wales during the 18th Century. He is known to have had a school in Castell Hywel, and was a minister at Llwynrhydowen Chapel. His work to translate English into Welsh for the newly literate communities, resulted in him even being described as 'improving into Welsh' on the popular poem by Thomas Gray - 'Elegy Written In A Country Churchyard'. However, sometimes his political thoughts on the rapidly changing world around him, including the French Revolution, would cause controversy.THE BRICK WALL - DAVID THOMAS It's the family of Dai's 7x Great Grandfather David Thomas (brother-in-law of the above David Davies), that has them stuck for answers.Dai has found 76 records attributed to David Thomas, and knows about his life between 1757 and his death in 1816, Lampeter in Ceredigion, Wales, but Dai has found no trace of David Thomas' parents or siblings. Who were David Thomas' parents?Who were David Thomas' siblings?Where was David Thomas pre-1757? If you think that you can offer Dai a research clue or idea, then you can email them on the address they give in the episode, or find them at @GenealCymru at Twitter.

If you've seen Hearts of Darkness, you can better appreciate what Coppola endured while making Apocalypse Now; if you've seen River of Dreams, you can watch in wonder as Herzog talks about the shooting Fitzcaraldo and really moving that boat through the jungle. American Movie (1999) aims to do the same thing for Mark Borchardt's low-budget independent horror film Coven. How you respond to American Movie depends on how you respond to Borchardt: is he simply a pretentious jerk who thinks he's the next George A. Romero? Or is he what Thomas Gray would call “some mute inglorious Milton,” whose work deserves a wider audience? In this episode, the guys mention the work of English poet Thomas Gray, whose famous “Elegy Written in a Country Churchyard” is applied to Mark Borchardt.

If you've seen Hearts of Darkness, you can better appreciate what Coppola endured while making Apocalypse Now; if you've seen River of Dreams, you can watch in wonder as Herzog talks about the shooting Fitzcaraldo and really moving that boat through the jungle. American Movie (1999) aims to do the same thing for Mark Borchardt's low-budget independent horror film Coven. How you respond to American Movie depends on how you respond to Borchardt: is he simply a pretentious jerk who thinks he's the next George A. Romero? Or is he what Thomas Gray would call “some mute inglorious Milton,” whose work deserves a wider audience?

It was 73 years ago in 1950 that a Black man named Hillard Brooks was shot and killed by a White police officer after he tried to board a city bus in Montgomery, Alabama. Thomas Gray, who had played football with Brooks as a kid, was outraged by the tragic, unjustifiable shooting. He protested and eventually staged a downtown march to register voters and protest police brutality.Five years later Gray led another protest against the city's segregated buses. On the front lines of the Montgomery bus boycott, Gray withstood threats and bombings alongside his brother, Fred D. Gray, a young lawyer who represented Martin Luther King Jr., Rosa Parks, and Claudette Colvin, a plaintiff in the case that forced Alabama to desegregate its buses.I'm thrilled today that we have with us Thomas Gray's daughter, Karen Gray Houston, an award winning broadcast journalist, who has written a captivating memoir, “Daughter of the Boycott, Carrying on a Montgomery Family's Civil Rights Legacy.” It's an incredible story that recounts how her father's and uncle's actions changed the nation's racial climate and opened doors for her and other African Americans.Karen Gray Houston was born in Montgomery, Alabama, raised in Cleveland, Ohio. She spent 41 years as a news reporter and anchor at radio and television stations and networks in Boston, New York City, and Washington, DC. Since retiring, she wrote Daughter of the Boycott, which was featured in an edition of Oprah's O magazine as "One of 10 Titles to Pick Up Now" and in Smithsonian Magazine's Book of the Week series.Here are some key points we discussed with her:Q.

The role of Claudette Colvin isn ‘t as well-known as Rosa Parks, for example, but this teenage girl was very brave and played a very important role in the battle for racial equality.

Today's poem is by Thomas Gray (26 December 1716 – 30 July 1771), an English poet, letter-writer, classical scholar, and fellow at Pembroke College, Cambridge. He is widely known for his Elegy Written in a Country Churchyard,published in 1751.[1]Gray was a self-critical writer who published only 13 poems in his lifetime, despite being very popular. He was even offered the position of Poet Laureate in 1757 after the death of Colley Cibber, though he declined.[2] His writing is conventionally considered to be pre-Romantic but recent critical developments deny such teleological classification.—Bio via Wikipedia Get full access to The Daily Poem Podcast at dailypoempod.substack.com/subscribe

It's only August --five months before anyone casts a vote in the 2024 presidential election. But Wednesday night, eight candidates for the Republican nomination will be on the same stage for the first debate of the 2024 election season. Assistant professor of political science at the University of Texas at Dallas Dr. Thomas Gray joined Ask the Expert on Tuesday to preview the event.

El refugiado es un relato de hombres lobo de la escritora norteamericana Jane Rice, publicado originalmente en la edición de octubre de 1943 en la revista Unknown Worlds, y luego reeditado en la antología de 2003: El ídolo de las moscas y otras historias. El refugiado, relata la historia de Milli Cushman, una mujer estadounidense atrapada en Francia durante la Segunda Guerra Mundial, soportando las incomodidades del racionamiento y el tedio del aislamiento, quien es sacudida de su rutina cuando un joven extraordinariamente apuesto, desnudo, de aspecto lobuno, aparece durmiendo en su jardín. SPOILERS. El refugiado de Jane Rice apareció en el último número de Unknown Worlds, cuyo editor, John W. Campbell, fue un pionero introduciendo a varias escritoras que no se encontraban con mucha frecuencia en las revistas pulp. Campbell, además, era extremadamente exigente, tal es así que en 1942 rechazó el primer relato de Ursula Kroeber. La chica tenía apenas doce años en ese momento y, al parecer, su historia necesitaba mucho trabajo. No obstante, la alentó a seguir escribiendo, afirmando además que se convertiría en una gran escritora en el futuro. Ursula Kroeber siguió su consejo. El lector quizás la conozca mejor por su seudónimo, Ursula K. Le Guin. Milli Cushman está atrapada en Francia durante la Segunda Guerra Mundial, probablemente en París, pero esto no está claro. Definitivamente es una zona ocupada por los nazis. Milli es rica, a pesar de ser hija de un carnicero d Pittsburgh. Jane Rice la describe como una mujer mimada, frívola, y fatalmente ingenua. Anhela las fiestas, los cócteles, los días de ir al Café Royale. Pero la realidad es dura. La comida escasea. Milli piensa en la ciudad como un «demacrado gato gris», lo cual le recuerda, tal vez, una frase de su padre: «cocinado, un gato tiene un parecido sorprendente con el conejo». Para agregarle mayor dramatismo a la situación, no se encuentran peluqueros decentes. Y luego está la cuestión de los hombres. No hay, no hombres interesantes, al menos (ver: El cuerpo de la mujer en el Horror) El hambre ha agudizado los recuerdos de la carnicería de su padre. Es difícil no pensar en ellos en una época de racionamiento. Sin embargo, Milli intenta mantener las apariencias. Y lo consigue, hasta que un día ve al hombre en su jardín, un hombre desnudo de «excelente anatomía». Milli, hambrienta no solo de carne vacuna, es sobrecogida por la excitación. El hombre es «perfectamente hermoso», tal es así que la primera reacción de Milli es levantar un poco la cabeza para ocultar una incipiente papada. El hombre, sin embargo, huye del jardín cuando María, la sirvienta, entra en el salón para comentarle a Milli que un vecino de la zona, Phillipe, ha sido encontrado muerto, a falta de una palabra mejor, porque lo cierto es que de su cadáver solo se han encontrado los huesos. El refugiado de Jane Rice es un relato engañoso, que parece dirigirse inevitablemente hacia un final que el lector anticipa en las primeras páginas, para darle una verdadera bofetada en el rostro. En primer lugar, tenemos a un hombre lobo que no es un alma perdida [como hemos visto hace poco en El hombre lobo de Ponkert (The Werewolf of Ponkert)], y menos aun alguien que lamenta su condición de licántropo. En cambio, tenemos un joven galán que claramente se deleita con los aspectos más siniestros de la licantropía (ver: Razas y clanes de hombres lobo) Es inevitable mencionar algunas similitudes intencionales entre El refugiado y el cuento de Caperucita Roja, solo que el interés amoroso de Milli resulta tener mucho más en común con el Lobo del cuento que con Caperucita. Milli no quiere ayuda, no necesita ser rescatada, y ciertamente está en condiciones de ser ella quien imponga las condiciones al Lobo (ver: ¡No salgas del camino! El Modelo «Caperucita Roja» en el Horror) Entonces, cuando El refugiado de Jane Rice parece dirigirse inexorablemente hacia un final previsible, el menguante suministro de alimentos debido al racionamiento de la guerra, que se describió anteriormente, de repente se convierte en el eje de la trama. Milli no es rescatada a último momento por el Cazador, ni mata al hombre lobo en defensa propia. Eso habría sido indigno de una autora sofisticada como Jane Rice. En cambio, Milli se convierte ella misma en la Cazadora; de hecho, lo ha sido durante todo el relato, y el lector probablemente no lo ha notado. Milli envía a María a visitar a sus familiares y sale al encuentro de su misterioso visitante. Lo encuentra en el jardín y lo invita a dormir en la casa. Lo que sigue son dos páginas, al menos, donde se hace un inventario de sus encantos físicos y se establece que el muchacho es un hombre lobo. De hecho, su nombre es Lupus. En este punto, Jane Rice nos hace creer que Milli no solo es una mujer frívola y egocéntrica, sino ingenua. Las cosas, parece, no terminarán bien para ella. Decidida a seducirlo, Milli se dispone a preparar la cena mientras el muchacho duerme. Al despertar, Lupus sugiere que vean juntos la puesta de sol. Ella arregla su cabello, pero trata de que su amante no se desborde. Entonces, le ofrece uno de sus chocolates rellenos. Lupus no parece demasiado entusiasmado, por lo que Milli le acaricia la cabeza como si estuviera acariciando a un perro y, cuando el muchacho bosteza, deja caer el chocolate en su boca. Sorprendido, el muchacho empieza a transformarse, pero Milli lo apuñala y, en el proceso, lo obiga a tragar el choclate... relleno con un amuleto de plata. Milli es egocéntrica, desde luego; y puede, como lo insinúa su nombre [Cushman], estar acostumbrada a una vida suave. Pero ella no es suave y definitivamente no es estúpida. Siempre supo que el muchacho era un licántropo, y siempre supo que terminaría comiéndoselo. En este sentido, el guiño a El hombre lobo de París (The Werewolf of Paris) de Guy Endore, una de las lecturas de Milli, es un toque realmente agradable. A propósito, Milli cita dos poemas significativos en el relato: *El toque de las campanas anuncian el final del día es la apertura de Elegía escrita en un cementerio de aldea (Elegy Written in a Country Churchyard) de Thomas Gray; y **La luna era un galeón fantasmal pertenece al poema de Alfred Noyes: Los salteadores de caminos (The Highwayman). Por otra parte, El refugiado parece ligeramente influenciado por el relato de hombres lobo: Gabriel Ernesto (Gabriel-Ernest), una historia clásica, oscura y levemente humoristica de Saki, aunque en el cuento de Jane Rice es una mujer quien descubre a este muchacho desnudo al amanecer, y donde el erotismo es más heterosexual y abierto. Jane Rice fue una de las grandes heroínas anónimas de las revistas pulp, como Catherine L. Moore, Margaret St. Clair y Everil Worrell. Su obra aún no ha recibido la atención que merece, de manera tal que es un placer para El Espejo Gótico tratar de enmendar modestamente esa injusticia.

Jordan Thomas Gray joins the Travel Tribe X Podcast to discuss his journey starting standup comedy in Warsaw and doing tours around the world. We discuss a range of topics including:
Strap on your toughest boots. Now dodge the speeding cars as we match strides with Robert Hamberger. We discuss two works: his exceptional poetry collection Blue Wallpaper and his memoir A Length of Road -- recalling a time when Robert (facing a life crisis) retraced the footsteps of the 'peasant poet' John Clare who had, in 1841, escaped an asylum in Epping Forest. Robert walked the same 80 miles as John Clare, who had walked to Northamptonshire in the vain hope of finding Mary, his first love. And Robin has been enjoying Ian Duhig's masterful New and Selected Poems learning en route what can be made to rhyme with Castor and Pollux, while Peter tarries in the twilight of Thomas Gray's Elegy Written in a Country Church-Yard -- 'mopeing owl' and all.

Did they do this song backwards? We take a magnifying glass to the Wilson-Asher team's apprehensive post-adolescent anthem. The lady doth like the tambourine *way* too much. You could probably play this tune in church and no one would notice. Honorable mentions: Thomas Gray, Carly Simon, and Wurlitzer organs. --- Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/podsounds/support
“无知是福”的英文怎么说?之前我们在《早餐英语》中分享过蔡志忠的关于《老子》的漫画,里面的讲的就是大智若愚,这个故事,让我不禁联想到了英语中的一句俗语:ignorance is bliss 直译过来就是“无知是福”。但这个俗语在使用的时候,也要根据不同的语境来判断它到底还是褒义还是贬义的。今天我们就来探知一下这个俗语的渊源还有具体的用法。New Words:ignorance 美 ['ɪɡnərəns] n. 无知,愚昧;不知,不懂fate英 [feɪt] 美 [fet] n. 命运swiftly美 ['swɪftli] adv. 很快地;敏捷地;即刻paradise. 美 ['pærə'daɪs] n. 天堂Tooth Fairy牙仙子(是英国童话里的一个仙子)Meaningif you do not know about something, you do not worry about it or get affected by it.如果你对某事一无所知,那么便不会担心或是受到其影响Originignorance is bliss无知即福人们有时用ignorance is bliss为某人的无知辩护。它出自英国诗人托马斯·格雷(Thomas Gray, 1716-1771)的诗作《伊顿远眺》 (Ode on a Distant Prospect of Eton College, 1747 ) :Yet ah! Why should they know their fate?Since sorrow never comes too late,And happiness too swiftly flies.Thought would destroy their paradise.No more; where ignorance is bliss,'Tis folly to be wise.('Tis 就是 It is 的意思,常常用于人物自言自语的感叹句)唉!他们何苦知晓自己的命运?忧愁从不会姗姗来迟,快乐总是稍纵即逝。思虑使他们的天堂塌陷。天堂不在;无知即福,大智若愚。(摘自-《单词的历史》)Example:A child who believes in Santa Claus and the Tooth Fairy and who would be very upset to find out that neither was real is an example of a child who would think that ignorance was bliss.一个相信圣诞老人和牙仙的孩子,当他发现这两个都不是真的的时候会很不高兴,这便是“无知是福的”例子。Example Sentences:Sometimes I just decide to ignore the news for a few days. Ignorance is bliss, I tell you. When it comes to what my kids end up eating at their grandparents' house, ignorance is bliss.有时我只是决定忽略消息几天。我告诉你,无知是福。当提起我的孩子们在他们祖父母家里吃饭时候,无知是福。A: I never knew that the kid who mows our lawn has been in trouble with the police.B: Ignorance is bliss!A:我从来不知道给我们修草坪的孩子和警察惹上了麻烦。B:无知是福!Some doctors believe ignorance is bliss and don't give their patients all the facts.一些医生认为无知是福,便不告诉给病人所有的事实。
