When Browning and his wife Elizabeth attended one of his séances on 23 July 1855, a spirit face materialized, which Home claimed was Browning's son who had died in infancy: Browning seized the "materialization" and discovered it to be Home's bare foot. To make the deception worse, Browning had never lost a son in infancy.
ellauri061.html on line 231: Oberon on aika luikero, kärkäs apina ja rietas babiaani. Meddling monkey ja busy ape. Se jää vaklaamaan kun Dimitri ja Helena hiippaa paikalle. Mua vedät, kovakiskoinen maneitti! (varmaan mangneetti. Alkutextissä seisoo adamantti.) Mä olen pikku koirasi Dimitri, mankuu Helena. Jahka kuluu yrki. (Yrki? Se on tovi, se löytyi Lönnrotin sanakirjasta.)

ellauri156.html on line 495: Now here is a most amazing thing. David, years earlier, was adamant about the fact that those on a mission for the king should keep themselves from sexual intercourse. Now, years later, David is amazed that a man on a mission for the king is willing to abstain from sexual intercourse with his wife. Worse yet, David sets out to convince -- even to compel -- Uriah to go to do so, even though it will cause him to violate his conscience. This is not “causing a weaker brother to stumble;” this is cutting off a stronger brother's "leg" at the knob. Uriah is an example of the commitment expected of every soldier, and of David in particular -- at least the David of the past. Uriah is now acting like the David we knew from earlier days. Uriah is the “David” that David should be. But there is a crucial difference: now David is the king. This makes the case completely different.

ellauri205.html on line 77: Euroopan sieppaaminen aiheutti lopulta myös muiden antiikin maailman kaupunkivaltioiden perustamisen. Phoenixin sanottiin lähteneen Arizonasta Afrikkaan; Cadmus meni Kreikan mantereelle ja perusti Theban (Kreikka, nyk. Thiva Boiotian alueyxikössä Attikasta sisämaahan päin), ja Cilix meni Vähä-Aasiaan ja perusti Turkkiin tarsolaisesta ystävästämme tutun Kilikian. Cilixin poika Thasus seurasi isäänsä kuin hai laivaa ja perusti Thasoksen Thasoxen saarelle. Hallinnollisesti Thásos kuuluu Thásoksen kuntaan, Thásoksen alueyksikköön ja Itä-Makedonian ja Traakian alueeseen. Saaren pääkaupunki on Thásoksen kaupunki. Tuollaelämässä Minoksesta ja Rhadamanthysista tulisi kaksi alamaailman kolmesta tuomarista. Sarpedonista ei sen enempää.
ellauri210.html on line 1279: According to the trivia section here at IMDB, "George Bernard Shaw adamantly opposed any notion that Higgins and Eliza had fallen in love and would marry at the end of the play, as he felt it would betray the character of Eliza who, as in the myth of Pygmalion and Galatea, would "come to life" and emancipate herself from the male domination of Higgins and her father. He even went so far as to include a lengthy essay to be published with copies of the script explaining precisely why Higgins and Eliza would never marry, and what "actually happened" after the curtain fell: Eliza married Freddy and opened a flower shop with funds from Colonel Pickering. Moreover, as Shaw biographers have noted, Higgins is meant to be an analogue of the playwright himself, thus suggesting Higgins was actually a homosexual." Eliza, where are my slippers?

It was not a disapproval of his host country that drove him to hide behind barbed wire fences in the Vermont woods.

It can be said that apart from Ariosto, to whom Spenser was much indebted, and his Bradamante in Orlando Furioso, from whom the character of Britomart was copycatted. Presenting a woman travelling in the guise of a knight and fighting alongside and against male warriors might be seen as something quite uncommon.
xxx/ellauri388.html on line 470: Spenser went as far as transferring whole episodes from the adventures of Bradamante to those of Britomart. Both show a preference for a magic spear.
