Walpole
ellauri014.html: Rousseau suututti ranskalaiset piirit uskonnolla ja sveitsiläiset politiikalla. Se teki brexitin Humen luokse Lontooseen, suututti jengin sielläkin, suuttui kun Walpole väsäs vitsikirjeen muka sille Preussin Fredrikiltä, riitaantui julkisesti Humen kaa.
ellauri014.html: A cartoon depicting Rousseau as a Savage Man, a Yahoo, caught in the woods was more to Hume's taste. He described it to her with relish. "I am represented as a farmer, who caresses him and offers him some oats to eat, which he refuses in a rage; Voltaire and D'Alembert are whipping him up behind; and Horace Walpole making him horns of papier maché. The idea is not altogether absurd." (Edmonds/Eidinow, Enlightened enemies, the Guardian 2007)
ellauri052.html: Horace Tadpole eiku Walpole (24 September 1717 – 2 March 1797) oli aatelinen, talousliberaali, luultavasti äpärä ja todennäkösest ainakin kaappihomo. Suhteellisen turha julkkis jo omana aikanaankin. Se sipsutteli salongeissa rokokoomaisesti puettuna ja puuteroituna lakki kainalossa varpaisillaan. Sen typeristä lausahduxista siteeraa Bellow seuraavaa: it is natural for free men think about money. Why? Because money is freedom, thats why.
ellauri115.html: Yx juttu: Rousseau ei todellakaan ole huumormiehiä. Sitä ei vähääkään naurattanut Walpolen käytännön pilakaan. Se ei ihan oikeesti ole yhtään et naura sinäkin. Se ei voi sille mitään eze raippaa aina kun sille nauretaan. En mäkään siitä perustanut esim armeijassa kun kaaduin jossain vitun pussijuoxussa. Muut alokkaat ihan pelästyivät mun silmitöntä raivoa. On näitä ollut jotain muitakin, mutten viizi muistella. On ne vähän noloja.
ellauri115.html: 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.

ellauri115.html: Walpole's "King of Prussia" letter was the last straw. The exile was very upset.
ellauri247.html: In Hugh Walpole's fifth novel Fortitude, the protagonist Peter refers to Peregrine Pickle as a text that inspired him to document his own memoirs.
ellauri247.html: Walpole's dictum: Life is a comedy to those who think, a tragedy for those who feel.
ellauri247.html: Lady Mary Montagu (1689-1762), court beauty, wife of the British Ambassador to Istanbul and prolific letter-writer, was the first major female travel writer of her time. She was a correspondent with Alexander Pope, knew and was disliked by Horace Walpole, and introduced the Turkish, then Ottoman, method of inoculation to Britain.
ellauri247.html: Lyhyenläntä rampa Pope syntyi samana vuonna kuin Mary. Pope oli Tory ja Mary äänesti Walpolea. - Amazing! I have read that Alexander Pope made passionate and wild love to Lady Mary Wortley Montagu. From this poem I understand that Pope loved the sense of wit and beauty that Lady Mary W. M. possessed.
ellauri322.html: Er. epm. homopetteri Horace Walpole (josta on paasattu albumeissa 14, 52, 75, 115, 235 ja 247) nimitteli Marya “a hyena in petticoats” or “a philosophising serpent” .
ellauri323.html: Yet Zuleika WAS very innocent, really. She was as pure as that young shepherdess Marcella, who, all unguarded, roved the mountains and was by all the shepherds adored. Like Marcella, she had given her heart to no man, had preferred none. Youths were reputed to have died for love of her, as Chrysostom died for love of the shepherdess; and she, like the shepherdess, had shed no tear. When Chrysostom was lying on his bier in the valley, and Marcella looked down from the high rock, Ambrosio, the dead man’s comrade, cried out on her, upbraiding her with bitter words—“Oh basilisk of our mountains!” Nor do I think Ambrosio spoke too strongly. Er. epm. homopetteri Walpole Horace">Horace Walpole (josta on paasattu mm. albumeissa Walpole">14, 52, 75, 115, 235, 247 ja 473) nimitteli Woolworthin Marya “a hyena in petticoats” or “a philosophising serpent” .
ellauri389.html: Romahduksen jälkeen parlamentti määräsi suoritettavaksi tutkinnan, joka paljasti ainakin kolmen ministerin ottaneen vastaan lahjuksia ja osallistuneen spekulaatioon. Monet Etelämeren komppanian johdossa toimineet menettivät maineensa. Skandaali edisti valtiomies Robert Walpolen valtaannousua. Pääministeriksi kohonnut Walpole julisti etsivänsä kaikki tapahtumiin syylliset, mutta asettui myöhemmin suojelemaan useiden merkittävien poliitikkojen mainetta.
ellauri420.html: Émilie meurt, pleurée par Voltaire, bien avant la marquise, qui a la chance de survivre à tous deux mais la malchance de tomber amoureuse, à près de soixante-dix ans, de l’écrivain anglais Horace Walpole, qui n'a alors que cinquante-six ans et qui préfère les hommes.
ellauri468.html: The 1930 Maugham novel Cakes and Ale was a satire on the literary world and a humorously cynical observation of human mating. It was Maugham's revenge on Hugh Walpole for "a stolen boyfriend, an unrequited love and an old canker of jealousy". His most substantial book from the war years was The Razor's Edge starring Ramana Maharishi.
ellauri473.html: The story has become known in the English-speaking world as the source of the word serendipity, coined by Horace Walpole because of his recollection of the part of the "silly fairy tale" in which the three princes by "accidents and sagacity" discern the nature of a lost camel.
ellauri473.html: Pojat päättelevät pissaläikän kangistavasta pillun tuoxusta että kamelilla oli razastanut tiine nainen. Serendipity is an unplanned fortunate discovery. The term was coined by Horace Walpole in 1754. Many significant discoveries in history were serendipitous, including penicillin, Post-it notes, Popsicles, Velcro, Silly Putty, Corn Flakes, safety glass, Teflon, super glue, LSD, Viagra, the microwave oven, and the use of sensors to prevent automobile air bags from killing children.
xxx/ellauri075.html: His numerous letters to the many young homosexual men among his close male friends are more forthcoming. To his homosexual friend, Howard Sturgis, James could write: "I repeat, almost to indiscretion, that I could live with you. Meanwhile I can only try to live without you." In another letter to Howard Sturgis, following a long visit, James refers jocularly to their "happy little congress of two". In letters to Hugh Walpole he pursues convoluted jokes and puns about their relationship, referring to himself as an elephant who "paws you oh so benevolently" and winds about Walpole his "well meaning old trunk".
xxx/ellauri075.html: Hugh Walpole had notable authors in his family tree: on his father's side, the novelist and letter writer Horace Walpole. According to Somerset Maugham, Walpole made a sexual proposition to James, who was too inhibited to respond with his well-meaning old trunk.
xxx/ellauri075.html: As a gay man at a time when homosexual practices were illegal for men in Britain, Walpole conducted a succession of intense but discreet relationships with other men, and was for much of his life in search of what he saw as "the perfect friend". He eventually found one, a married policeman, with whom he settled in the English Lake District. All is well that ends well.

xxx/ellauri235.html: Cornhillissä 26. joulukuuta 1716 syntynyt Gray oli viides Philip ja Dorothy Antrobus Grayn 12 lapsesta ja ainoa, joka selvisi lapsenkengistä. Hänen isänsä, väkivaltaisuuksiin syyllistynyt, pahoinpiteli vaimoaan; Dorothy jätti hänet jossain vaiheessa, mutta Philip uhkasi ajaa hiäntä takaa ja kostaa hiänelle, ja hiän palasi hänen luokseen. Vuosina 1725-1734 Thomas Gray osallistui Etoniin, missä hän tapasi Richard Westin ja Horace Tadpolen, voimakkaan Whig-ministerin Sir Robert Walpolen pojan. Vuonna 1734 Gray astui Peterhouse Collegeen, Cambridgen yliopistoon. Neljä vuotta myöhemmin hän jätti Cambridgen ilman tutkintoa aikoen lukea lakia Lontoon Inner Templessä. Sen sijaan hän ja Horace Walpole purjehtivat Doverista 29. maaliskuuta 1739 Manner-kiertueelle. Kaksikko riiteli Reggiossa Italiassa toukokuussa 1741; Gray jatkoi kiertuetta yksin ja palasi Lontooseen syyskuussa. Marraskuussa 1741 Greyn isä kuoli; Grayn säilyneissä kirjeissä ei ole mainintaa tästä tapahtumasta.

xxx/ellauri235.html: Vizi kyllä brittimaa on väärällään sodomiitteja! Nahkaklarinetteja kuin salpausselällä! Fagotteja kokonainen orkesteri! Ffion Hague, the wife of Foreign Secretary William Hague, is now hoping to repeat her success with her latest publication, a book documenting what was believed to be the illicit gay love affair of an 18th century poet with the son of Britain’s first Prime Minister, Robert Walpole. Tää kiivas suklaaosastolla asiointi on 1 epätasa-arvoisen yhteiskunnan piirteitä. Yläluokan äveriäät herrat naivat toisiaan pitääxeen omaisuuden kasassa. Sama ilmiö muinaisessa Kreikassa ja Roomassa.
xxx/ellauri235.html: 15. lokakuuta 1742 Gray palasi Peterhouseen kollegaksi lukemaan lakitutkintoa. Vuoden 1742 jälkeen hän kirjoitti runoutta vain satunnaisesti. Hän sai LL.B. tutkinto marraskuussa 1743. Hän ja Walpole solmivat sovinnon vuonna 1745, vaikka ystävyys ei enää koskaan ollut yhtä intiimi.
xxx/ellauri235.html: Kun Gray palasi runojen kirjoittamiseen, hän sävelsi kaksi runoa, jotka nuhtelevat halua eri tavoin. Selima, Walpolen kissa elokuvassa Oodi suosikkikissan kuolemasta, hukkui kultakalojen ammeeseenHänen kohtalonsa on muunnelma niiden kohtalosta, jotka ottavat haltuunsa sen, mikä on heidän oman toiminta-alueensa ulkopuolella. Runo voidaan lukea Grayn runollisen kutsumuksensa tunteen kannalta osuvana: hänen runollinen tuotantonsa oli vähäistä, ja hänen runonsa olivat yleensä lyhyitä ja usein keskeneräisiä.
xxx/ellauri261.html: *Para alem do planeta silencioso, Perelandra: Viagem a Venus, Aquela forca medonha, volume 1-2. Texto integral. Hugh Walpole said he liked them. But then again Hugh and Clive wer both sort of Cambridge apostles who prodded holes in each other´s sides like two Thomas the doubters. (Actually, Clive went to Oxford.)
