"The crisp air;Moon-light bouncing off the ocean.The gristled sand betwixt our toes;The scent of salt flowering through the breeze.Hand in hand;And heart to heart -My love for thee grows more and more as the moon doth to rise.A kiss so tender;Nice and light;A smile that flows from cheek to cheek.Innocence and laugher;More wine throughout the night.Thy head spins as if this were to be a dream.For wishing upon a shooting star, Our love shall shineRaising the light in our souls.So mote it be.Starring deep into one another eyes;Like entwining roses disappearing way up into the sky -A warm embrace;A warm kiss from the lips;Leading a trance, Unlike any other throughout the night.Time stands still, Yet is so far away.Floating, falling, rising, glowing -What is this feeling that I am to be knowing?True love is where I bleed;For thy heart is head over feet.Grasping onto one another;Sounds of passion and delight -Like crickets chirping in the night.The moon starts to fade as the sun does to rise;A picturesque ending to yet another night of passion, Just you and I -A feeling so right.A glow we have made from one another -A glow so bright.I hope this feeling ne're comes to an end.Allow us one more toast -A toast to this and this alone.To keep the fire burning;Burning throughout the night and throughout our lives." - Lady Buella Percy"Lady Buella Percy One Heart, One Mind, One Soul" is a collection of poems and thoughts.

1 L'auberge des Amandiers l'endroit m me o l'H tel Moderne dresse aujourd'hui sa pr tentieuse fa ade, s' levait alors une simple maisonnette au toit de tuiles rouges et aux murs blanchis la chaux. Elle appartenait un certain Baptiste Portal, vieux paysan dauphinois, qui rafra chissait passants et voyageurs avec le petit vin suret du pays, ou les r confortait l'occasion avec un petit verre d'eau-de-vie. En dehors de cela, Baptiste Portal occupait ses loisirs vitup rer contre la nouvelle auberge de la Poste qui, disait-il, ruinait son commerce. Lui, Baptiste Portal, ne voyait pas l'utilit de cette auberge, pas plus que celle des chaises de poste. Avant toutes ces nouveaut s, les voyageurs se contentaient d'un bon cheval pour patauger le long des chemins boueux, ou de la vieille diligence qui soulevait derri re elle de si beaux nuages de poussi re. quoi bon changer ? Est-ce que le vin des Amandiers n' tait pas meilleur que l'esp ce de vinaigre que l'on servait cette fameuse auberge de la Poste ?

Portrait of Percy Grainger

A unique treatment of the key influences on the life of this important Australian composer, consisting of oral histories by people who knew Grainger, as well as reflections from his own writings. Percy Grainger [1882-1961] was a pianist, composer, ethnographer, essayist, and much more. The Australian-American musician aspired to the condition of a polymath, with strong interests in language, culture, ecology and technology. In an age of increasing specialisation Grainger held to a breathless all-roundedness. This book looks at the scrabbling diversity of Grainger's life through the eyes of others. Family and friends, pupils, musical associatesand chance acquaintances recall their experiences of Percy Grainger from his boyhood in colonial Australia, through his conservatorium years in Germany, on to his early professional years in London, and further to the zenith of his career and then years of decline in the United States. In the final chapter, Grainger himself explains the driving passions of his life. Fifty illustrations, including architectural drawings, scores and machine plans, vividly depict the enthusiasms described in over ninety recollections of Grainger. A composer of over four hundred compositions and virtuoso performer in some three thousand concerts, Grainger left a large legacy. He was an importantinfluence upon the folk-song movement in Britain, and, through such masterworks as Lincolnshire Posy, he was enduringly popular with the band movement in America. On a personal level, his development of the language of "blue-eyed English" was stillborn, and his muscular style of pianism found few adherents among the next generation of performers. His frankly expressed views on sexual licence were also many decades ahead of their time. Today, however, Grainger the musician is again in the ascendant. His more innovative works are gaining a belated hearing, while his standards, such as Country Gardens, remain firm favorites.

In the shadows of London's underbelly, a boy's relentless fight for survival sparks the rise of a legend... Orphaned by the murder of his father, rejected by his grandfather, and consigned to the harsh life of an orphanage, Percy St.-John's existence is marked by hardship. Under the cruel oversight of Reverend Mortimer Lovecraft, Percy endures a world filled with pain. When fate finally allows him to escape, Percy faces new challenges on the streets of London, where survival means scrounging for scraps and facing dangers at every corner. Hope appears when he finds shelter in the locksmith shop of Tobias Finermann and his kind granddaughter, Hannah. Under their care, Percy begins to rebuild his life. With the help of a mysterious Guardian Angel, he discovers a newfound fascination for locks and safes, unlocking skills that will change his future. But secrets linger in the shadows. As Percy settles into his new life, he and Hannah suspect that old Mr. Finermann is hiding something. Strange visitors and late-night outings hint at dark dealings that could place them all in danger. As Percy navigates these mysteries, he discovers that he might have a greater purpose than he ever imagined--a journey that will lead him to become The Midnight Boy.
When critics first began to respond to the fiction of Walker Percy, they frequently refarded it as a fiction of ideas. The most significant themes were Percy's religious, philosophical, and cultural beliefs. Such conceptions of the man were grounded in his own essays, a genre which in his hands tended toward the impersonal and the abstract. In time Percy critics like William Rodney Allen began to prove into Percy's biography for resources that verified their intense critical speculations about the background of Percy's fiction. In his childhood was his father's suicide and its significant emergence in his fiction. Percy's biographers have continued this investigation of the father's influence. Jay Tolson deftly represent the theme of the paternal death as a vacuum Percy felt throughout his life, while Bertram Wyatt-Brown studied the Percy family ethos, which he showed to be shadowed for two hundred years by high expectations, depression, and self-destruction. Now, in Still Following Percy, a collection of interrelated essays, Lewis Lawson studies the Percy canon to speculate that an earlier and more fundamental shaping of Walker Percy's character and fictional imagination was his sense of the in adequacy of the relationship with he as an infant had with his mother and of her early death. Lawson argues that the sense of loss led to Percy's tendency to regression, to his need to create his own life narrative in fiction after psychoanalysis had been insufficient as a means of reconstruction, and to his conversion to Roman Catholicism. Lawson interprets Percy's conversion as a statement of the possibility of reconciliation through the transcendent truth.
Baroness Emma Magdolna Roz lia M ria Jozefa Borb la "Emmuska" Orczy de Orci (23 September 1865 - 12 November 1947) was a Hungarian-born British novelist and playwright. She is best known for her series of novels featuring the Scarlet Pimpernel, the alter ego of Sir Percy Blakeney, a wealthy English fop who turns into a quick-thinking escape artist in order to save ill-fated French royalty from "Madame Guillotine" during the French revolution.Introducing the notion of a "hero with a secret identity" into popular culture, the Scarlet Pimpernel exhibits characteristics that would become standard superhero conventions, including the penchant for disguise, use of a signature weapon (sword), ability to out-think and outwit his adversaries, and a calling card (he leaves behind a scarlet pimpernel at each of his interventions). By drawing attention to his alter ego Blakeney he hides behind his public face as a slow thinking foppish playboy (like Bruce Wayne), and he also establishes a network of supporters, The League of the Scarlet Pimpernel, that aid his endeavours.Orczy went on to write over a dozen sequels featuring Sir Percy Blakeney, his family, and the other members of the League of the Scarlet Pimpernel, of which the first, I Will Repay (1906), was the most popular. The last Pimpernel book, Mam'zelle Guillotine, was published in 1940. None of her three subsequent plays matched the success of The Scarlet Pimpernel. She also wrote popular mystery fiction and many adventure romances. Her Lady Molly of Scotland Yard was an early example of a female detective as the main character. Other popular detective stories featured The Old Man in the Corner, a sleuth who chiefly used logic to solve crimes.Orczy held strong political views. Orczy was a firm believer in the superiority of the aristocracy, as well as being a supporter of British imperialism and militarism. During the First World War, Orczy formed the Women of England's Active Service League, an unofficial organisation aimed at encouraging women to persuade men to volunteer for active service in the armed forces. Her aim was to enlist 100,000 women who would pledge "to persuade every man I know to offer his service to his country". Some 20,000 women joined her organisation. Orczy was also strongly opposed to the Soviet Union.She died in Henley-on-Thames, Oxfordshire on 12 November 1947. (wikipedia.org)
