![]() ![]() I hope you continue your blog on Home, and can possibly provide a fuller bibliography of his work as other tales if his are brought to light, as well as new or unpublished takes that might emerge in the future. Home's stories are like little gems that turn up now and then! Yes his work is difficult, complex, ambiguous and recondite, but then again some practitioners of the weird tale can be accused of having similar stylistic qualities in their writings, ie Robert Aickman and Thomas Ligotti to name but two. His work also appears in two editions of a small fanzine called From Beyond The Dark Gateway. So far I have not managed to get a hold of them. An essay by Home and a short story by him too appear in two supplements to the Meade and Penny Frierson publication HPL. I have managed to get more of his work over the years, but the small publications his work has appeared in over the years is both hard to obtain and sometimes very expensive too. ![]() I tried to track down Hollow Faces Merciless Moons for many years, but it wasn't till the age of the Internet that I managed to snag myself a copy. I have been a huge fan if Home's work since I read A Cobweb of Pulsing Veins in the Karl Edward Wagner edited collection of The Years Best Horror Stories. Hello! Thank you fir creating a blog about the writer William Scott Home. ![]() ![]() There is, on the other hand, a much more fun experiment to run. Which doesn’t really lead us to any meaningful conclusion unless it’s your fervent belief that comics history begins and ends with Watchmen. ![]() And then we plunge further down the rabbit hole until we eventually land on the sacred year of 1986. But then, The Ultimates were the direct consequence of a chain reaction that began in Hitch and Warren Ellis’ The Authority, which, of course, was an outgrowth of Jim Lee’s Wildstorm imprint of Image Comics. The most expedient answer to what shines through the brightest in the comics scaffolding of said movie empire is Mark Millar and Bryan Hitch’s The Ultimates. A principle that has special meaning for closing out the decade that the Disney fueled Marvel Cinematic Universe eclipsed the box office in. Their antecedents can be traced as far back as you want to expand the scope of inquiry and their vestigial legacy can be dilated just as far into the future. Where artistic movements begin and end are rarely, if ever, easily pinned down to fixed points in time. History is a slippery subject, especially in the arts. I am the hornet that stings.’ There was an immediate uproar, so not having anything more to say, I shouted out, ‘Happy New Year, losers.’ And that was that. I grabbed a microphone and said, ‘I’m no fly on the wall. ![]() ![]() ![]() The speaker's singing victories with the larks between lines 8 and 9? He's feeling the same with the hawks in lines 18 and 19. Adam ends up "most poor" at line 5? The speaker ends up "most thin" at line 15. Just check out how perfectly the stanzas match up. With its symmetrical stanzas, ABABACDCDC rhymes, and impeccable iambic rhythm, this poem keeps its wings elegantly folded. For further deets, head down to "Line Length" under "Symbols, Imagery, Wordplay."īut just because "Easter Wings" looks like a bird doesn't mean it's flighty. Not only does their elegant unfurled wing-shape mimic the title of the poem the changing line length also reflects the line-by-line meaning of each stanza. Officially known as carmen figuration or pattern/shaped/figural poetry, this type of poem-picture takes the relationship between form and content to a visual level. These stanzas give new meaning to the phrase, A picture's worth a thousand words-or, in the case of "Easter Wings," 96 (yes, we counted). No same-old left-aligned vanilla-flavored poems in Herbert's Easter basket. ![]() So the most obvious thing about the form of "Easter Wings" is that it actually has a physical form. ![]() Rhymed Stanza, Pattern Poetry, Variable Iambic ![]() ![]() Another was Victor Hugo, who is widely considered to be the greatest French novelist of the nineteenth century. Marx and Engels were not the only social critics to adopt and build on Liebig’s views about agriculture and sewers. ![]() This “irreparable rift in the interdependent process of social metabolism” formed the basis of their critique of capitalist agriculture, and provides the theoretical starting point for what is now known as metabolic rift theory. ![]() As Marx wrote in 1860, “Liebig rightly criticises the senseless wastefulness which robs the Thames of its purity and the English soil of its manure.” ![]() They were particularly impressed by his analysis of soil fertility, in which he sharply criticized the use of artificial fertilizers and guano imported from Peru, while hundreds of tons of human excrement was dumped into rivers and the sea. Introduction by Ian Angus - In the 1850s and 1860s, Karl Marx and Friedrich Engels closely studied the works of Justus von Liebig, the German chemist whose books on agricultural chemistry were enormously influential throughout Europe and North America. ![]() Like Marx and Engels, he based his critique on the work of the chemist Justus von Liebig. Victor Hugo’s masterpiece includes a powerful attack on the urban wastefulness that steals nutrients from the land.

Other characters don't kill people on their birthdays. ![]() Other characters don't argue with themselves bitterly over what to do. The other characters simply aren't like this, as broadly sketched on the surface, as openly cartoonish, but with such haunted depths. Gollum's always been a fascinating splinter of chaos in the Tolkien books. Availability: Out today on PC, PS4 and PS5 and Xbox.Publisher: Daedelic Entertainment, Nacon.This is not a dig - it's exactly how Gollum should look. ![]() ![]() Gollum, hidden in the dark, swimming in sewage, rattling through a blazing blood-coloured mine, looks like Linus van Pelt on the single worst day of his life. The large wet eyes shift constantly, looking for an opportunity, any opportunity. And that head, on top of that short, sinewy body, it's huge and filled with craftiness and sly wit. His movements seem shaped by his own poor experience of the world, forever flinching from expected blows. ![]() His stance is a nervous, weight-shifting crouch. The greatest achievement in The Lord of the Rings: Gollum is Gollum himself. A strong sense of character is let down by poor controls, fiddly implementation, and bugs. ![]() ![]() ![]() Tutku Vardağlı).Pages 97-120 The Sanjak of Alexandretta (Hatay) in Turkish Foreign Policy: A Case of “Accidental Diaspora” and Kin-State Politics (Hazal Papuççular).Pages 121-140 Front Matter.

Catherine tries to convince him (or trick him) to leave this expedition behind and come back with her, but Peter resists all her attempts. She finally catches up to him by a frozen lake in the dead of winter, where they argue again. ![]() Catherine, of course, finds out about this and chases him and the army down. ![]() Peter essentially steals Catherine's army and marches them off to what he is sure will be great victories and glory - all to leave a grand legacy of his own. The final straw comes when he can't resist the idea of invading Sweden. Peter spends the first half of the season undermining Catherine at every turn and chafing at her being in charge. How Does Peter III of Russia Die on "The Great"?Īs we've expected, the third season of "The Great" features Peter and Catherine alternating between plotting against each other and expressing their tangled, twisted love for each other. In real life, Peter III's death was just as sudden, but it happened very differently. After dodging numerous near-deadly feats and assassination attempts, Peter III finally meets his maker in a sudden and shocking way. The third season of Hulu's historical dark comedy " The Great" features a shocking plot twist - though, perhaps not so shocking to anyone familiar with the real history on which the show is ( very, very loosely) based. ![]() ![]() Now, more than 100 years after Kate first arrived in San Diego, her gorgeous gardens and parks can be found all over the city. So this trailblazing young woman singlehandedly started a massive movement that transformed the town into the green, garden-filled oasis it is today. Kate decided that San Diego needed trees more than anything else. But after becoming the first woman to graduate from the University of California with a degree in science, she took a job as a teacher far south in the dry desert town of San Diego. After all, Kate grew up among the towering pines and redwoods of Northern California. ![]() Katherine Olivia Sessions never thought she’d live in a place without trees. ![]() Unearth the true story of green-thumbed pioneer and activist Kate Sessions, who helped San Diego grow from a dry desert town into a lush, leafy city known for its gorgeous parks and gardens. ![]() |
