Upon discovery, this wedding ruined Donne's career, getting him dismissed and put in Fleet Prison, along with the Church of England priest Samuel Brooke, who married them,[13] and his brother Chistopher, who stood in in the absence of George More to give Anne away. Donne was released shortly thereafter when the marriage was proved to be valid, and he soon secured the release of the other two. Walton tells us that when Donne wrote to his wife to tell her about losing his post, he wrote after his name: John Donne, Anne Donne, Un-done.[14] It was not until 1609 that Donne was reconciled with his father-in-law and received his wife´s dowry,

His ambitions were great and he was able to buy a country estate and a ship (as well as civets to make perfume), though he was rarely out of debt. On 1 January 1684, Defoe married Mary Tuffley at St Botolph's Aldgate. She was the daughter of a London merchant, receiving a dowry of £3,700—a huge amount by the standards of the day. With his debts and political difficulties, the marriage may have been troubled, but it lasted 47 years and produced eight children.
ellauri062.html on line 937: The so called "New World Order" conspiracy is the modern term for the age old Satanic conspiracy, led by elite Jewry -- the aim being the enslavement of humanity, destruction of the true Israelites (the Anglo-Saxon and Germanic peoples of European descent), mass human population reduction, abolition of religion and national sovereignty, and the establishment of a totalitarian world government ruled by Satan via the jews.

The ultimate goal of Judaism is rule of the world by Satan, and to literally unleash hell upon the earth. 

Are you aware that Martin Luther wrote a treatise called "On the Jews and Their Lies", warning Christians in the most serious terms of the destructive influence of the jews, and advocating their banishment from European society? Luther was very knowledgeable of the religion, nature, origins, and influence of the Jews - having actually read the Talmud and written large parts of the Bible. Luther describes the Jews as an accursed, malicious, greedy, cunning, treacherous, thieving, and greatly evil people, who are descended from the very people who murdered the Messiah, who deeply hate Christianity and God's people, and are working in every possible way to undermine and destroy Western Christian civilization. Among other things, Luther rubbishes the Talmud, including its vicious hatred of Jesus and Christians, as well as relishing the many times Jews have been expelled from European nations.

ellauri119.html on line 646: Rosenbaum left Russia at the tail end of the Trust program. She was assisted by bolshevik Hollywood. Like a typical crypto-jew and communist she used a pseudonym. She became, together with Leo Strauss, a leading philosopher of the Trotskyites. She, like Strauss, helped create the philosophy of arrogance and entitlement that justifies the lies of government leaders to the people. Her philosophies misrepresent the realities of how wealth and psychopathic greed coupled with immorality destroys civilization. Her solution to class warfare is group disloyalty of the rich to society and the exploitation of the national resources by a privileged class to destroy the economy and sabotage the nation. She misrepresented American tradition in a way that benefitted our enemies and internationalized our national resources leaving them easy pickings for the exploitation of unregulated international markets. She advocated the ruinous gold standard which allows our enemies the opportunity to deflate our money supply and strangle the economy at their whim. By simply hoarding gold and/or sending it out of the nation the bankers can ruin us under a gold standard. Her philosophy falsely claims that the market can and will correct the actions of the enemy within to ruin the nation by their designs. She wanted to grant the enemy the right to act with impunity and free rein as a Trojan horse within America to completely destroy our nation, and she has nearly succeeded. The removal of the ability of government to impose with force the collective will of the nation inevitably leads to balkanization, and that was well known and desired by our bolshevik enemies, Rosenbaum’s masters. She never pointed out the name and the nature of the enemy, instead scapegoating the poor and the communists for what international jewry was doing, with her as one of its leading members. As far as I know, she NEVER addressed the existential danger of jewish messianic prophecy and the subversion of the American government by Israel. Being herself a jew, she was disloyal to America in favor of Israel. She was disloyal to the American majority population in favor of the banking class. She did absolutely nothing that was ever in any way harmful to the communists or the bankers, who have so harmed America.

Antiochus´ decrees and vituperation of Judaism motivated the Maccabean Revolt; the Maccabees reacted violently against the forced Hellenization of Judea, destroyed pagan altars in the villages, circumcised boys, and forced Hellenized Jews into outlawry. The revolt ended in the re-establishment of an independent Jewish kingdom under the Hasmoneans, until it turned into a client state of the Roman Republic under the reign of Herod the Great (37–4 BCE).

His mother-in-law reveals on her deathbed that her family jewry was hidden from the Bolsheviks in one of the twelve chairs from the family’s dining room set. Those chairs, along with all other personal property, were taken away by the Communists after the Russian Revolution. Vorobyaninov wants to find the treasure. The “smooth operator” and con-man Ostap Bender forces Kisa to become his partner, as they set out to find the chairs. Bender's street smarts and charm are invaluable to the reticent Kisa, and Bender comes to dominate the enterprise. Father Fyodor (who had known of the treasure from the confession of Vorobyaninov's mother-in-law), their obsessed rival in the hunt for the treasure, follows a bad lead, runs out of money, ends up trapped on a mountain-top, and loses his sanitary pad. Ostap remains unflappable, and his mastery of human nature eliminates all obstacles, but Vorobyaninov steadily deteriorates.

The first year was over her former husband's estate, trying to get what was left of Bacon's property, without his much greater debts. She was opposed in this by Sir John Constable, her brother in law, who had held some of the estate in trust. In 1628 she filed suits for property owned by her late father. In 1631, she and her husband both filed suit against Nicholas Bacon, of Gray's Inn, their former friend, who had married Sir John Underhill's niece, and gotten Underhill to sign an agreement for a large dowry and extensive property, including some property of Alice that Sir John did not have rights to, and could only inherit after her death. Their petition to court stated that Bacon had tricked Underhill "who was an almost totally deaf man, and by reason of the weakness of his eyes and the infirmity in his head, could not read writings of that nature without much pain," to sign a paper not knowing what it contained.

ellauri362.html on line 187: Siltä osin kuin romaanilla voidaan sanoa olevan juoni, se seuraa Christopher Glowryn, synkän lesken, omaisuutta, joka asuu ainoan poikansa Scythropin kanssa eristetyssä perheen kartanossa Nightmare Abbeyssa Lincolnshiressa. Herra Glowryn melankolia saa hänet valitsemaan palvelijoita, joilla on pitkät kasvot tai synkät nimet, kuten Mattocks, Graves ja Skellet. Ne harvat vierailijat, jotka hän toivottaa tervetulleeksi kotiinsa, ovat enimmäkseen samanlaisia, lukuun ottamatta hänen lankoaan, herra Hilarya. Vierailijat käyvät keskusteluja tai toisinaan monologeja, jotka tuovat esiin heidän eksentrisyytensä tai pakkomielteensä.
ellauri362.html on line 189: Herra Glowryn poika Scythrop on toipumassa huonosti päättyneestä rakkaussuhteesta. Epäonnistuneena kirjailijana hän vetäytyy usein omaan asuntoonsa torniin opiskelemaan. Kun hän jättää heidät, hänen huomionsa häiritsee flirttaileva Marionetta, joka puhaltaa kuumaa ja kylmää hänen kiintymyksiinsä. Lisää komplikaatioita syntyy, kun Celinda Toobad, joka pakenee pakkokihlausta tuntemattoman kosijan luo, vetoaa Scythropiin saadakseen suojaa ja tämä piilottaa hänet salaiseen huoneeseen. Muutos Scythropin käytöksessä saa Marionettan uhkaamaan jättää hänet ikuisesti, ja hänen on myönnettävä itselleen, että hän on rakastunut molempiin naisiin eikä voi valita heidän välillään enempää kuin Buridanin aasi.

Vasta myöhemmin ilmestys paljastetaan olleen herra Glowryn unelias taloudenhoitaja Crow.

Tämän kuultuaan neiti Toobad (joka on käyttänyt itsestään Stellan nimeä) tulee ulos piilokammiosta ja vaatii selitystä. Seuraavan riidan aikana herra Toobad tunnistaa paenneen tyttärensä, jonka hän oli todella tarkoittanut Scythropille koko ajan. Mutta molemmat naiset luopuvat nyt Scythropista ja lähtevät luostarista päättäen olla katsomatta häntä enää koskaan.
ellauri362.html on line 195: Kun kaikki vieraat lähtevät, Scythrop ehdottaa itsemurhaa ja pyytää palvelijaansa Ravenia tuomaan hänelle "tuopin porttia ja pistoolin". Hän on masentunut vasta, kun hänen isänsä lupaa lähteä Lontooseen ja rukoilla hänen anteeksiantoaan jommankumman naisen kanssa. Kun herra Glowry palaa, Celindan ja Marionettan kirjeet ilmoittavat tulevasta avioliitostaan kahden muun vieraan kanssa. Scythrop saa lohdutella itseään ajatuksella, että hänen viimeaikaiset kokemuksensa antavat hänelle pätevyyden "saattamaan erittäin korkean tutkinnon misantropiassa", jotta hän voi vielä toivoa pääsevänsä hahmoon maailmassa.
ellauri368.html on line 66: Among the Jews of the Slavonic countries "maskil" usually denotes a self-taught Hebrew scholar with an imperfect knowledge of a living language (usually German), who represents the love of learning and the striving for culture awakened by Mendelssohn and his disciples; i.e., an adherent or follower of the Haskalah movement. He is "by force of circumstances detained on the path over which the Jews of western Europe swiftly passed from rabbinical lore to European culture" and to emancipation, and "his strivings and short-comings exemplify the unfulfilled hopes and the disappointments of Russian civilization." The Maskilim are mostly teachers and writers; they taught a part of the young generation of Russian Jewry to read Hebrew and have created the great Neo-Hebrew literature which is the monument of Haskalah. Although Haskalah has now been flourishing in Russia for three generations, the class of Maskilim does not reproduce itself. The Maskilim of each generation are recruited from the ranks of the Orthodox Talmudists, while the children of Maskilim very seldom follow in the footsteps of their fathers. This is probably due to the fact that the Maskil who breaks away from strictly conservative Judaism in Russia, but does not succeed in becoming thoroughly assimilated, finds that his material conditions have not been improved by the change, and, while continuing to cleave to Haskalah for its own sake, he does not permit his children to share his fate. The quarrels between the Maskilim and the Orthodox, especially in the smaller communities, are becoming less frequent. In the last few years the Zionist movement has contributed to bring the Maskilim, who joined it almost to a man, nearer to the other classes of Jews who became interested in that movement. The numerous Maskilim who emigrated to the United States, especially after the great influx of Russian immigrants, generally continued to follow their old vocation of teaching and writing Hebrew, while some contributed to the Yiddish periodicals. Many of those who went thither in their youth entered the learned professions. See Literature, Modern Hebrew. (Source: Jewish Dictionary)

The Israeli messianic and political movement Gush Emunim considered the Palestinians to be Canaanites or Amalekites, and suggested that implied a duty to make merciless war against Arabs who reject Jewish sovereignty European Jews who migrated to Palestine relied on the biblical ideology of conquest and extermination, and considered the Arabs to be Canaanites. Scholar Arthur Grenke claims that the view of war expressed in Deuteronomy contributed to the destruction of Native Americans and to the destruction of European Jewry. Jewish fundamentalists in Israel, such as Shlomo Aviner, consider the Palestinians to be like biblical Canaanites, and that some fundamentalist leaders suggest that they "must be prepared to destroy" the Palestinians if the Palestinians do not leave the land.

Having undergone a conversion experience while on a business trip to London that had gone awry, he disavowed the Enlightenment ideal of limiting truth to autonomous reason. In a word, autonomous reason is no substitute for "Christ" (the word).

Malcolm Lowry: Tulivuoren juurella

xxx/ellauri075.html on line 485: Englantilaissyntyinen Malcolm Lowry (1909-1957) on romaanikirjailija ja novellisti, kiistämätön lahjakkuus dokaamisen alalla, joka elinaikanaan jäi kutakuinkin tuntemattomaksi, mutta on sittemmin saavuttanut maineen yhtenä vuosisatamme englanninkielisen kirjallisuuden suurista nimistä.
xxx/ellauri075.html on line 489: Tulivuoren juurella (Under the Volcano, 1962, suom. 1968) on Malcolm Lowryn (1909-1957) tärkein työ. Juuri muuta merkittävää kirjailija ei juopottelultaan saanut aikaiseksi, mutta tämä romaani on yksi 1900-luvun merkittävimpiä kaunokirjallisia saavutuksia. Se on myös kenties hienoin koskaan tehty alkoholismista tehty romaanikuvaus.
xxx/ellauri075.html on line 491: Kirjassa ollaan Meksikossa, tarkemmin sanottuna Quauhnahuacin pikkukaupungissa. On paikallinen Kuolleiden päivä vuonna 1939. Keskiössä on Geoffrey Firmin -niminen englantilainen konsuli, juoppo ja virastaan pois potkittu heittiö. Mukana on myös muita ulkomailta Meksikoon päätyneitä hahmoja, joilla on omat vaikeutensa heilläkin. Firmin on kuitenkin tärkein, sillä hänessä on paljon Lowrya itseään. Romaani onkin vahvasti elämäkerrallinen. Niin Lowry kuin hänen luomansa fiktiivinen konsulikin olivat ja ovat syvästi tuntevia ihmisiä, jotka kokevat olemassaolonsa ja kaikkeen siihen liittyvän vahvasti. Tämä pätee erityisesti kärsimykseen ja kaikkialla läsnäolevaan tuskaan. Se tekee heistä ihmisen arkkityyppejä.
xxx/ellauri075.html on line 493: Parasta Tulivuoren juurella -kirjassa on sen proosa. Suomennoskin on mitä hienoin, joten Lowryn pitkiä lauseita ja kappaleita hyödyntävä kerronta pääsee oikeuksiinsa. Kirja on ns. yhden päivän romaani, eli kaikki siinä tapahtuu vuorokauden aikana. Muistoja ja takautumia käytetään, mutta leijonanosassa kirjaa puidaan juuri Kuolleiden päivää ja sen tapahtumia. Lowry käyttää paljon vertauskuvia. Ne ovat pienen pohdinnan jälkeen selviä, mutta eivät kliseisiä. Voidaan esimerkiksi ajatella, että konsuli on (paheellinen) vieras oudossa tropikaalisessa maailmassa samaan tapaan kuin ihminen on vieras Raamatun Paratisiissa. Ihmiskunta on sodan takia muutenkin heikoilla jäillä.
xxx/ellauri075.html on line 495: Lowryn omin sanoin: ”Romaanissani on siis kysymys ennen kaikkea niistä ihmisessä piilevistä voimista, joiden vuoksi hän pelkää omaa itseään. Siinä on kysymys myös ihmisen syyllisyydestä, hänen katumuksestaan, hänen lakkaamattomasta ponnistelustaan kohden valoa menneisyys taakkanaan ja hänen lopullisesta tuomiostaan. Allegoriana on Eedenin puutarha, joka on samalla maailma.”
xxx/ellauri075.html on line 497: Alkoholisoitunut, syvästi tunteva ihminen vertautuu siis Kristukseen. Juominen, siis tauti, on hänen ristinsä. Kristuskin joi kuin sieni ristillä. Koska juomari on kuitenkin ihminen, eikä jumalhahmo, hän lopulta sortuu taakkansa alle. Tulivuoren juurella ei kuitenkaan ylistä juomista. Päinvastoin, konsuli on hyvin traaginen hahmo. Hän kärsii ja kärsii ja joutuu lopulta tuomiolle. Lowry kiteyttää tämän sanomalla päähenkilöstä vielä, että ”sikäli kuin hänen kohtalollaan on syvyyttä ja merkitystä, se on suhteutettava myös koko ihmiskunnan lopulliseen kohtaloon.” Koska kirjan tapahtuma-aikana Toinen maailmansota on juuri alkanut, ihmiskunta on siis tuomiolla myös tapahtuvien ja vielä tapahtumattomien julmuuksiensa tähden.
xxx/ellauri075.html on line 499: Tulivuoren juurella on merkittävä romaani, joka kannattaa lukea. Sitä ei ilmestymisaikanaan ja pitkään sen jälkeen vielä pidetty klassikkona, mutta vähitellen se on saanut ansaitsemaansa arvostusta. Aikalaiskuvausten perusteella Lowry oli henkilönä ikävä, mutta tämän romaanin myötä hänen taiteensa elää pitkään, ellei vielä pitempään.

His teachings imbued the esoteric usage of practical Kabbalah of Baalei Shem into a spiritual movement, Hasidic Judaism. While a few other people received the title of Baal Shem among Eastern and Central European Ashkenazi Jewry, the designation is most well known in reference to the founder of Hasidic Judaism. Baal Shem Tov, born in the 17th century Kingdom of Poland, started public life as a traditional Baal Shem, but introduced new interpretations of mystical thought and practice that eventually became the core teachings of Hasidism. In his time, he was given the title of Baal Shem Tov, and later, by followers of Hasidism, referred to by the acronym BeShiT. He disavowed traditional Jewish practice and theology by encouraging mixing with non-Jews and asserting the sacredness of everyday corporal existence.

She later said that science fiction did not have much impact on her until she read the works of Theodore Sturgeon and Cordwainer Smith, and that she had sneered at the genre as a child. Authors Le Guin describes as influential include Victor Hugo, William Wordsworth, Charles Dickens, Boris Pasternak, and Philip K. Dick. Le Guin and Dick attended the same high-school, but did not know each other. She also considered J. R. R. Tolkien and Leo Tolstoy to be stylistic influences, and preferred reading Virginia Woolf and Jorge Luis Borges to well-known science-fiction authors such as Robert Heinlein, whose writing she described as being of the "white man conquers the universe" tradition. Several scholars state that the influence of mythology, which Le Guin enjoyed reading as a child, is also visible in much of her work: for example, the short story "The Dowry of Angyar" is described as a retelling of a Norse myth.

He opined that movements of the lower classes have a tendency to 'go awry.' Benjamin Haile DeMott was born on June 2, 1924, in Rockville Centre, N.Y.; his father was a carpenter, his mother a faith healer. He joined the Amherst faculty in 1951 and earned a Ph.D. in English literature from Harvard two years later. He observed that a tenet of national faith in America had been that "goodness equals laughter, that humour can banish crisis, that if you pack up your troubles and smile, horror will take to the caves". Critical response to Mr. DeMott's work was divided. His detractors saw his pop-culture references as forced efforts to look au courant.
