ellauri026.html on line 227: This is a famous line, but here it would hardly seem to merit its fame—who cares about people “arguing about how tough they are”? The word here translated as “tough” just happens to be one of the central words of Hellenic thought: arete, “virtue” or “excellence,” that subject of so many subsequent philosophy lectures—whose learnability or unlearnability Plato made the subject of inquiry, and which Aristotle defined as a mean between two vices. The word can be used to mean something like “bravery,” but it is wildly broader and richer than “how tough one is” (there is a queen named Arete in the poem, but Wilson refrains from translating her as “Queen Tough”). The line was quoted over and over again in later days because it was considered the height of happiness for a man to have a son and grandson competing with each other to possess virtue or true excellence. This Wilson suppresses, as a thing irrelevant to contemporary idiom—“toughness” will have to serve in its place.

ellauri094.html on line 658: “Super Flumina Babylonis” celebrates the release of Italy from bondage in imagery that recalls the resurrection of Christ. The open tomb, the folded graveclothes, the “deathless face” all figure in this interesting poem that sings out, “Death only dies.” In “Quia Multum Amavit,” France, shackled by tyranny, is personified as a harlot who has been false to liberty. She has become “A ruin where satyrs dance/ A garden wasted for beasts to crawl and brawl in.” The poem ends with France prostrate before the spirit of Freedom, who speaks to her as Christ spoke to the sinful woman in the Pharisee’s house, in a tone of forgiveness.
ellauri097.html on line 449: Recently a caller to the radio told me about a conversation he’d had about homosexuality. The caller made the teleological argument, that looking at what the natural functions of the male and female reproductive organs are for, we can draw certain conclusions about how they should properly be used. The person he was talking with challenged his argument that you can’t get an “ought” from an “is”. The challenger seemed to be saying that just because it is that way in nature doesn’t mean that we can derive a moral rule from it. The caller asked if the challenge was incorrect and how to respond to it.

ellauri184.html on line 129: The word “Cousin” in Greek is “suggenis” which means “kinswoman” or “relative.” The word “suggenis” does not necessarily mean “cousin.” It simply implies that Mary and Elizabeth were relatives, with no indication as to degree of relationship.
ellauri221.html on line 269: In an update of a study on empathy originally conducted in 1979, Sara Konrath, a researcher at the University of Michigan’s Institute for Social Research, Ed O’Brien and Courtney Hsing have presented “Changes in Dispositional Empathy in American College Students Over Time: A Meta-Analysis” at the annual convention of Psychological Sciences in Boston (May 28th 2010). In this study they find a drastic difference in today’s student body on campuses from college students of the late 1970s. Today’s students disagree more frequently with such statements as: “I sometimes try to understand my friends better by imagining how things look from their perspective”, or, “I often have tender, concerned feelings for people less fortunate than me.”
ellauri222.html on line 209: The decorum in Bellow criticism is to acknowledge the original of the fictional character when the person is famous, and otherwise to insist on treating it all as fiction. Thus everyone knows that, in “Humboldt’s Gift,” Von Humboldt Fleisher “is” Delmore Schwartz, and that, in “Ravelstein,” Abe Ravelstein “is” Allan Bloom, the Chicago professor who wrote “The Closing of the American Mind” and was a good friend of Bellow’s.

Singer otti myöhemmin käyttöön äitinsä nimen kirjailijanimessään ”Bashevis” (Bathsheban poika). Hänen veljensä Israel Joshua Singer saavutti kuuluisuutta suosittuna jiddišinkielisenä kirjailijana. Niinpä veli Israel Joshua Singer oli nuoremman veljensä ensimmäinen ja tärkein kirjallinen esikuva.
ellauri263.html on line 387: This kind of blurring brings to mind US war-on-terror films such as Zero Dark Thirty, with its depiction of Osama bin Laden’s capture serving as a PR exercise for the use of torture during interrogations. Meanwhile, Fauda’s Isis storyline stretches credibility, at the same time feeding the worst stereotypes. “It’s a bit lazy. Isis is not really active in Gaza or the West Bank,” says Stern. Buttu adds that the effect is to reinforce the absence of a Palestinian cause. “We don’t have any legitimate grievances. It’s all Islamic-driven,” she says, noting that it “turns Palestinians into irrational figures who want only to kill Israelis”.
ellauri297.html on line 521: Pariisin rauhansopimuksen rinnalla YYA-sopimus määritteli Suomen kansainvälisen aseman vuosikymmeniksi eteenpäin. Kun Marshall-avun torjuminen yhtäältä voitiin tulkita tietynlaiseksi tunnustukseksi Neuvostoliiton etupiiriin kuulumisesta, ”Paasikiven diktaattina” muotoutunut pakti veti selkeät rajat tälle asetelmalle. Vaikka monille sopimusta vastustaneille asian ymmärtäminen tuottikin vaikeuksia, Suomen asema omalajisena ”sui generis” -maana idän ja lännen välissä alkoi todellisuudessa vakiintua.

Mutta hänellä oli myös hyvä vainu sille, mikä ”siinä julkisuustilanteessa jollain tavalla toimis”. Sama hinku on vaan jotenkin jatkunut.

Se sisältää singlet ”Pidä huolta” ja ”Pomppufiilis”, sekä varta vasten Munamiehelle sävellettyjä kappaleita. Artisteina ovat muiden muassa Michael Monroe, Pedro Hietanen, ja kappaleiden sanoituksista vastaa ainakin Pekka Eronen, jos muut vetäytyvät vastuusta.
xxx/ellauri170.html on line 741: Gnostilaisuus oli varsinkin 100- ja 200-luvuilla vaikuttanut synkretistinen uskonnollinen liike, jota esiintyi monien ajan uskontojen, muun muassa kristinuskon, yhteydessä Välimeren alueelta Keski-Aasiaan saakka. Sana ”gnostilaisuus” tulee kreikan sanasta ”gnosis” (γνώσις), joka tarkoittaa tietoa. Gnostilaiset käsitykset perustuivat juutalaisuuteen, kreikkalaiseen filosofiaan, erityisesti platonismiin, sekä varhaiseen kristinuskoon.
xxx/ellauri199.html on line 102: As I began to ponder the use and abuse of the ancient radish, it was Roman legal scholar Paul du Plessis who wrote to let me know of the legal connections between radishes, anuses, and adultery in Greco-Roman antiquity. While there is debate over the actual application of the punishment, it appears that Athenian adulterers may have been punished with “Rhaphanidosis” in the Agora by having radishes or fish shoved up their assholes and then having their pubic hair depilated by hot ash.

Toisinaan hän joutui syömään kaarnaa ja rikkakasveja henkensä pitimiksi kuin Saarijärven Paavo. Varhaiset kärsimykset innoittivat häntä kirjoittamaan korruptiosta, kiinalaisen yhteiskunnan rappiosta kommunismissa, syntyvyyden säännöstelypolitiikasta ja elämästä maaseudulla. Mo Yanin esikoistes ilmestyi vuonna 1981. Hänen kirjailijanimensä tarkoittaa ”pulinat pois”.

xxx/ellauri385.html on line 61: Mötley Crüe on vuonna 1981 Los Angelesissa perustettu yhdysvaltalainen keinumusiikkiyhtye. Sen nykyisen kokoonpanon muodostavat laulaja vince Neil, basisti ja perustajajäsen nikki Sixx, kitaristi John 5 sekä rumpali ja perustajajäsen tommy Lee. Yhtye on myynyt yli sata miljoonaa levyä maailmanlaajuisesti. Sen tunnetuimpia kappaleita ovat ”Sähköpaimen”, ”Huuto pirulle”, ”Oma koti kullan kallis”, ”Typyjä, typyjä, typyjä”, ”Tri Kutaa” ja ”Polkukäynnistä pumppuni”. Kovaa keinua ja painavaa metallia yhdistelevän musiikkinsa lisäksi yhtye tuli 1980-luvulla tunnetuksi hedonistisesta ja pahennustakin herättäneestä keinu ja kieri -elämäntyylistään. Girls Girls Girls on esiintynyt albumissa Typyjä. Ikävystyttävää mopoilua ja taukojumppaa kärisevien tenorien säestyxellä. Tälläisestä voi pitää vain punkkitohtori.
xxx/ellauri410.html on line 180: In mock seriousness, Eliot frames the seventeen Notebook stanzas (mostly octavos) as Elizabethan drama. They begin, “Let a tucket be sounded on the hautboys. Enter the king and queen.” Then commence the obscenities. In Spain, Columbo is treated for syphilis by a “bastard jew named Benny” when he “filled Columbo’s prick / with Muriatic Acid” (IMH 315, 149). Later Columbo seeks help from the ship’s physician concerning another symptom of syphilis. “ ‘It’s this way, doc’ he said said he / I just cant stop a-pissin [sic]” (Letters I 231). Columbo and his mariners of song are well-known for their whoring. “One Sunday evening after tea / They went to storm a whore house,” and from a “seventh story window,” “bitched” Columbo with a “pisspot” (IMH 315). Ed Madden says that Columbo and sailors may have had pumps of argyrol and muriatic acid [dilute hydrochloric acid] “rammed up their penises” to treat their syphilis (151). When they set sail for America, “Queen Isabella was aboard / That famous Spanish whore.” With only Queen Isabella aboard and a boy named Orlandino, the horny crew have to make do until they reach land (IMH 315). In Cuba, they encounter King Bolo and his thirty-three “swarthy” bodyguards. They “were called the Jersey Lilies / a wild and hardy set of blacks” and like Columbo, are “undaunted by syphilis” (IMH 316). Madden calls them “the phallically well-endowed bodyguards of King Bolo,” but “swarthy,” “wild,” and “hardy” does not mean “well-endowed.” Columbo is. There are many reversals in these verses: Columbo is equipped with his prodigious bolo, and neither the New World nor the Old World gave the other syphilis. They both had it.
