ellauri014.html on line 191: Rousseau oli vankkaa sveitsiläistä tekoa, vaikka pieni, hyvä petihommissa, tikkas tarkasti. James Boswell bylsi sen partneria Thereseä briteissä yhteen otteeseen. Therese sano: älä luulekaan että olet parempi panomies kuin mun Janne-Jaakko. Hume, joka itse oli ylipainoinen keski-ikäinen poikamies, sanoi Rousseausta:
ellauri042.html on line 811: Sacks forbade any mention of his homosexuality, though he had told his would-be biographer Wechsler about his closeted yearnings and crippled attempts at love. His Boswell shelved the notes for 30 years. Ollie changed his mind on his deathbed: Do it! You must!
ellauri042.html on line 819: Olli näki sexiunia sammakkoeläimistä. Sen isoveli oli huonosti hoidettu skizofreenikko. Olli oli vitun kova narsisti. Jätti Boswellin pois autobiosta "because there just wasn´t room".
ellauri072.html on line 204: The problems of Dante's treatment of the punishment of homosexuals in Hell and of his more surprising salvation of still other (unnamed) homosexuals in Purgatory have had two recent responses that restore a central fact: cantos 15 and 16 of Inferno and canto 26 of Purgatorio are in fact concerned with this issue. Boswell's pages insisting on the identity of the sexual sin punished in Inf. 15-16 and the lust repented on the seventh terrace {"Dante and the Sodomites," 65-67} are convincing. "Soddoma" is used clearly to identify homosexual activity in Purg. 26 (vv. 40 and 79) and thus makes clear its meaning in Inf. 11.50 and therefore the nature of the sin encountered in Inf. 15 and 16.

Höh, eitää mikään avainromaani sentään ole, kuten sanoin, Wallua on ihan kaikissa. Koko porukka on aivan walluuntunutta. Jossain haistattelussa Saxassa Wallu jopa lipsauttaa että noi tennispojat ois niinkuin sen omia lapsia. Jos niitä olisi. Joku Marshall Boswell äänestää Wallu=Hal hypoteesin puolesta.

Koko Aasia ja lähi-itä on täynnä hinaajia, esim kunkku Daavid ja sen Joonatan ja Tarsoxen Paavali. Kiinalaiset eivät sylkässeet kuukuppiin nekään. Aahrikassa hovimiesten Khnumhotep and Niankhkhnum hauta on vanhimpia homohautoja muinaisten faaraoiden ajalta. John Boswell (oliko sekin gay?) on kirjottanut kuinka esimodernisssa Europassa sekä katolinen ja ortodoxinen kirkko siunasi samansukupuolisia liittoja hyvin samanlaisin menoin kuin nykyiset uskonnolliset heteronormaalit häät.
ellauri097.html on line 511: John Boswell was a Roman Catholic, having converted from the Episcopal Church of his upbringing at the age of 15. He remained a daily-mass Catholic until his death, despite differences with the church over sexual issues. Although he was orthodox in most of his beliefs, he strongly disagreed with his church's stated opposition to homosexual behavior and relationships. He was partnered with Jerone Hart for some twenty years until his death. Hart and Boswell are buried together at Grove Street Cemetery, New Haven, Connecticut.
ellauri097.html on line 513: Se Touretten syndroomaisen Doc Johnsonin elämäkerturi oli James. Se ei tiettävästi ollut homo: James Boswellilla oli tippuri, jonka se kai sai bylsimällä huoria, mm. Rousseaun hoitoa, muistattehan.
ellauri106.html on line 128: In a private note about Bloom’s book, Roth asserted, “Another writer my age awaiting a biography and awaiting death (which is worse?) might not care. I do.” Roth put enormous efforts into finding a biographer who could contest Bloom’s account. His first choice was the academic Ross Miller, but the novelist had a falling out with his biographer as the would-be James Boswell resisted the imperious dictates of the modern Dr. Johnson. Roth ended up describing his relationship with Miller as “my third bad marriage.” After unsuccessfully trying to rope in friends such as Hermione Lee and Judith Thurman to tell his life story, Roth settled on Blake Bailey, the author of highly regarded biographies of troubled male American writers, notably Richard Yates and John Cheever.

ellauri115.html on line 420: Among Rousseau's numerous charges were Hume's misreading of a key letter from Rousseau about a royal pension. That error embroiled King George III. The king was just one of the many prominent figures to be sucked into the quarrel: others included Diderot, D'Holbach, Smith, James Boswell, D'Alembert and Grimm. Walpole became a key player. Voltaire piled in too, unable to resist the chance to strike at Rousseau.
ellauri247.html on line 326: According to Boswell "Sam commonly held his head to one side ... moving his body backwards and forwards, and rubbing his left knee in the same direction, with the palm of his hand ... He made various sounds" like "a half whistle" or "as if clucking like a hen", and "... all this accompanied sometimes with a thoughtful look, but more frequently with a smile. Generally when he had concluded a period, in the course of a dispute, by which time he was a good deal exhausted by violence and vociferation, he used to blow out his breath like a whale."
ellauri247.html on line 333: I bet my bottom penny that Sam was at least a part-time faggot. The red cheeked Boswell more than probably blew smoke rings between his legs.
ellauri247.html on line 353: Johnson displayed signs consistent with several diagnoses, including depression and Tourette syndrome. According to Boswell, Johnson "felt himself overwhelmed with an horrible melancholia, with perpetual irritation, fretfulness, and impatience; and with a dejection, gloom, and despair, which made existence misery".
ellauri369.html on line 343: Carlylen isän kuolema tammikuussa 1832 ja hänen kyvyttömyytensä osallistua omiin hautajaisiinsa sai hänet kirjoittamaan ensimmäisen teoksen, josta tuli muistio, joka julkaistiin postuumisti vuonna 1881. Carlyle ei ollut löytänyt kustantaja, kun hän palasi Craigenbuttockiin maaliskuussa, mutta hän oli aloittanut tärkeitä ystävyyssuhteita Leigh Huntin ja John Stuart Millin kanssa . Sinä vuonna Carlyle kirjoitti esseet "Goethen muotokuva", "Goethen kuolema", "Goethen teokset", "Biografia", " Boswellin Johnsonin elämä " ja humoristisen "Corn-Law Rhymes".
