But you rode upon a steamer to the violence of the sun
And the colours of the sea bind your eyes with trembling mermaids
And you touch the distant beaches with tales of brave Ulysses
How his naked ears were tortured by the sirens sweetly singing
For the sparkling waves are calling you to kiss their white laced lips

She seems rather calm, if she's worried about her husband/lover on that ship. It might be that she lives on that coast, and anytime a shipwreck happens, it means the entire village gets to scamper in and salvage whatever they can. See a scene like that in one of the Poldark novels.

There is a complexity to Waterhouse's paintings because all the elements, figures, backgrounds, adornments, etc., figure strongly into the final effect of the work. As the viewer pays more attention, more elements are revealed.
Thanks, CBD. This painting is wonderful to spend time with.

Shipwreck salvage was a big thing back in the day. A ship's strongbox had serious money in it, wages for the entire crew usually - and there would be crew/passenger possessions, cargo, and valuable fittings to plunder as well.
On top of that, some quality lumber to build an extension to your cottage and a new chicken coop with.

Well, there you go with my education gaps again. When I was a
theatre major once upon an evil time, I never got to do any Shakespeare.
I played Orlando in our HS production of As You Like It. Even took it to the state Thespian convention at the University of Alabama. It turned into a disaster when the second lead got so nervous before the show he started hurling and his understudy was unprepared to go on. Still had a lot of fun tho'. Got to see their production of Man of La Mancha. Awesome play with a great moment in the third act.
Yes, we did Shakespeare in high skool in Alabama. I bet you'd be hard pressed to find a highskooler today who even knows who he was.

Well, probably, but again the only thing the medical examiner can state is that the wounds are consistent with strangulation. They cannot conclusively state what happened, only give highest probability.
Granted, sometimes that probability is extremely high (this man has eighteen bullet wounds in his head) but in this case its a judgment call based on best evidence.

JTB-
Can I ask you a question ?
How big is your house ?"
Hi JT,
Quick answer: not big enough. Mrs. JTB is on a constant hunt for horizontal space that doesn't have books stacked on it.
Actually, we are starting to go through our books to thin out the herd. If we can just get enough shelf space to handle the books stacked against the walls, it will be a help.
BTW, we donate the books to the closest fire station if they want them. Also, nursing homes and the local senior center.

I agree, if you read through it first, you can really get the language better and the notes help you understand the inside humor and references. Then the film or play version really comes alive. Thanks to a high school class I was able to do that with Romeo & Juliet and Hamlet.
Saw Hamlet live with Derek Jacobi playing the young prince in Ashland, Oregon. I don't know how my parents afforded it but I'm so glad I had the opportunity. I wish I could get down there every year for the festival.

I've always liked that interpretation. It lends poignancy to an already emotional final scene. I also like the way he 'prepares' the next generation (of playwrights) for the realities of the world. The wand could be a passing of the baton.

Why on earth would you doubt it?
Look, pretty much everyone on earth thinks the Epstein death was at best extremely sketchy. They were even kind of blatant about it, pulling him off protective detail and the camera going off.
And what is being done about it? What outcry is there? People act like this is a movie, and if some conspiracy was revealed then heads would roll and it would have serious consequences.
There aren't any in real life. If you're powerful enough and control the media and popular culture, you can get away with anything, no matter how hamfisted or obvious it is. What are YOU going to do about it? Nothing, there's nothing any of us can do.

He really was. A bit long in the tooth to be playing that character even in 1983, but the stage allows for that kind of thing where the screen won't.
He's still alive, doing small bit parts still. Its extraordinary how many great actors come from England. Something about fish & chips I guess.

A couple of years ago my PBS station ran Last Tango in Halifax, in which Jacobi starred as a retired widower who meets the woman he fell in love with way back in 9th grade or something, and they fall in love and plan to be married . . . and their grown children are very much put out by it. Set in Yorkshire, so the dialect is different from standard BBC, but Jacobi and the others are easy to understand. Kind of fun.

If you're looking for poetic purity go read some Frost or Longfellow. If you want a vehicle for cheap laughs, potty humor and puns, I'm your guy.
Nonetheless, 'Dublin' was a necessary element of the nuanced construction of the piece, in order to link the subtle imagery of the painting, its drama and the setting with the colloquial "bun in the oven" punchline of the limerick. The thinly veiled humor juxtaposed with the darker symbolic realism. This justifies the near-rhyme usage. You must learn to look for the 'balance' in the work, as Kris might say.

actually decapitate someone with a wire. I'm not sure a human could
actually do it.
If you got lucky and the wire went between two neck vertebrae. Not much there to stop it. Bone is different, naturally. Even cutting down to the bone would ruin your day.
I'm sure it would take a large someone to do it along with some training.

There's a lot of cartilage and muscle there. Try using a wire to cut a steak in half some time, and that's just muscle. You can do it, but its not easy, and the wire is just as likely to break, especially at the handle where its taking the most strain.
There's a reason those IS guys had to saw at someone's head with a big sharp knife other than sheer incompetence. Its not easy to do.

There are people who hate how Branaugh delivers his lines. The hissing through his teeth, the seeming lack of pauses.
I like it. I find him understandable, but I know that he turns a fair number of people off.
Olivier might be a better entry point. His language is very clear, and his Richard III is fantastic in general.

Hi TJM, Like you I like his delivery for the most part. What I especially like is that the other actors can deliver their lines so effectively. I think of Brian Blessed, in full armor, delivering the demands to the French court or the 'wooing' scene between Brannaugh and Emma Thompson. Brannaugh the director made sure the words and their delivery were clear and given their full emotional power.

The Democrats are going with the story that the "Parody" transcript that Schiff read in the House is the "Real One" and the the Official Transcript in Official NSC records is actually a fake one.
Seriously.

So wouldn't they have to get everyone else on the call to agree that Shiffhead's version was the "real" one?
That seems like a stretch. They're asserting that this guy was able to write down the phone call and that all the other transcribers created a completely different take INCLUDING the ukrainian president?

Few bands transcend time. Led Zeppelin is one; I really cannot think of another. Their sound is so unique that if you didn't know they were from the 70s, you'd probably think they were recent.

She played Tom Cruise's ex in "War of the Worlds", one of the stranded oil crew in "Flight of the Phoenix" and a small town Australian police officer in "Danny Deckchair", an entertaining light comedy film.

Taylor Swift and Singles' Day. Sounds about right.
I see her future as the character Norma Desmond, played by Carol Burnett. Not a husband, boyfriend, or offspring in sight. Just an old, self obsessed , overly made up skinny hag thinking she's still relevant.

YES! That moment when she rips offer her helmet and shouts "I AM NO MAN!", and plunges her sword into the Witch King, is cooler, and more moving, and - dare I say it - more empowering, than all of the SJW warrior-princess movies made over the last 20 years, combined.

That bizarre rant the other day about "dark, flashing videos" that we shouldn't believe was so out of left field. I wonder if it means there are some truly horrifying videos coming up, maybe from Weiner's laptop.

She does it for love. She does it the defense of her father figure. She's facing impossible odds. She's terrified. And she gets hurt really badly doing it, so she retains her humanity.
Eowyn is a great character.

I can't imagine how many data centers there are in CA.
They probably have special agreements to not have the power shut off for them, and they have very extensive backup systems, but still.
I can't imagine new mission critical stuff going into CA anytime soon.

China refused to grant visas to three South Korean members and the school originally said the tour would go forward without them.
Apparently, objections from alumni and students convinced them to change their minds.
They never should have agreed to China's terms, but I guess it's good that they finally did the right thing.
