ellauri152.html on line 425: Se on hyvä kone, se on ahkerassa käytössä Rauhixessa vieläkin. Sen kexijä oli nimeltään Isaac Singer, New Yorkin juutalainen, jonka parta oli erittäinkin röyheä. Six varmaan Isaac Bashevis Singerin piti pitää nimessään tota Bashevitshia (Basheban poika, Iiskon äidin nimi oli Basheba), koska se oli ize vanhempana sileä kuin muna. Singer on hauska kirjailija, jossa juutalaisuuden monet viehättävät puolet pääsevät kukkaansa, vaikka vanhana Amerikassa sen ohimokiharoista ei enää ollut muistoakaan jälellä. Se näytti lähinnä Yodan ja ammoniitin risteytyxeltä. Ompelukoneen kexijän middle name oli Merritt. Jo ennen ompelukoneen keximistä se tikkasi ahkerasti upstate New Yorkissa, siittäen ainakin tusinan ja puoli lehtolasta. Se kuoli miljonäärinä Torquayn kaupungissa briteissä.
ellauri222.html on line 169: At Bard, Bellow became close friends with a literature professor named Jack Ludwig. As Leader describes him, Ludwig was an oversized personality, a big man, extravagant, a shameless purveyor of bad Yiddish, and an operator. Ludwig idolized Bellow; people who knew them said that Ludwig wanted to be Bellow. He flattered Bellow, went for long walks with him, started up a literary journal with him, and generally insinuated himself into Bellow’s life. Bellow accepted the proffer of adulatory attentiveness. The couples (Ludwig was married) socialized together. This was the period when Bellow wrote “Seize the Day,” which Partisan Review published in a single issue, in 1956, after The New Yorker turned it down, and “Henderson the Rain King,” published in 1959, a novel whose hero was based on a neighbor of the Bellows in upstate New York.
xxx/ellauri138.html on line 295: Philip is buried at the Bard College Cemetery in upstate New York. He'd once considered "moving in" next to his parents at the Gomel Chesed Cemetery in Newark, New Jersey but there was no immediately close plot and the place had fallen into disrepair and Philip liked things to be very neat. I was thrilled to hear that Philip orchestrated every last detail of his own farewell. I was not invited.
