Garvin, Viola "The House of Cæsar" Sprague de Camp, in 1966, suggested that the second line was a paraphrase from Ernest Dowson's (q.v.) "Non sum qualis eram bonae sub regno Cynarae" (or "Cynara"), the last stanza of which contains the phrase, "But when the feast is finished and the lamps expire," and this came to be the accepted derivation. However, Garvin's poem seems much likelier, and since it is little known, it is printed in entirety here: THE HOUSE OF CÆSAR Yea — we have thought of royal robes and red. Had purple dreams of words we utterèd; Have lived once more the moment in the brain That stirred the multitude to shout again. All done, all fled

Extractions: [Home] or where to read more about the events in the film Topsy-Turvy by Leslie Baily (London: Thames and Hudson, 1973; New York: Viking, 1974. 119 pages plus bibliography, chronology and index. 143 illustrations). Book jacket: It is properly Gilbertian that one product of the earnest and orderly Victorian age which continues vigorous and popular should be the topsy-turvy art known as Gilbert and Sullivan opera. In this lively and authoritative biography Leslie Baily sets its fascinatingly contrasted progenitors in the context of the world in which they worked and from which they drew their inspiration. W.S. Gilbert was in many ways a typical Victorian gentleman, yet his satirical absurdities often made his contemporaries uneasy; while Arthur Sullivan rose from a working-class background to become the foremost British composer of the day and the darling of smart society. With Richard D'Oyly Carte, whose business acumen allied to progressive taste catalyzed their talents, these two wrought a revolution in the theater, and Mr. Baily traces the story of their partnership from the inauspicious failure of Thespis through the dazzling succession of triumphs at home and abroad to the final series of disastrous quarrels. Text and illustrations combine to give a vivid picture of an age, and of the men who created a unique confection of mock-heroic satire, geniality, and authentic lyricism which, far from fading with the age that engendered it, still retains a special prize in the culture and affections of the English-speaking world.

Extractions: (William Schwenk Gilbert, 1836-1911) from Cornhill Magazine (1863-dec), pp. 725-32 L ATE on a certain May morning, as I was sitting at a modest breakfast in my "residence chambers," Pump Court, Temple, my attention was claimed by a single knock at an outer door, common to the chambers of Felix Polter, and of myself, Horace Penditton, both barristers-at-law of the Inner Temple. The single knock raised some well-founded apprehensions in both our minds. "Walker!" said I to the property clerk. "Sir!" "If that knock is for me, I'm out, you know." "Of course, sir!" "And Walker!" cried Polter. "Sir!" "If it's for me, I'm not a home!" Polter always rejoiced if he could manage to make the conversation partake of a Maddisonian Mortonic character. Mr. Walker opened the door. "Mr. Penditton's a-breakfasting with the Master of the Rolls, if it's him you want; and if it isn't, Mr. Polter's with the Attorney-General." "You don't say so!" remarked the visitor; "then p'raps

Quotations Related To Genetics I canÂ’t help it. I was born sneering. The Mikado (1885) act 1 WS Gilbert (Sir WilliamSchwenck Gilbert) 18361911 English writer of comic and satirical verse; http://www.geneticengineering.org/reference/quotations.html
Extractions: related to genetics The brain, the body and the genome are locked, all three, in a dance. The genome is as much under the control of the other two as they are controlled by it. This is partly why genetic determinism is such a myth. The switching on and off of human genes can be influenced by conscious or unconscious external action. [...] external events - or free-willed behaviour - can switch on genes. [...] The psychological preceded the physical. The mind drives the body, which drives the genome. GEENOR's comment: we have 23 pairs of chromosomes - hence the title of the book. It is a mind-boggling idea to understand, that we actually consciously can switch on and off our various genes!!! Shortly speaking: positive feelings and thoughts can switch on appriopriate genes and thus positively influence our biochemistry.

Extractions: Sullivan Sir Arthur Seymour Sullivan (1842-1900), celebrated conductor and composer, achieved his greatest success when he collaborated with W.S. Gilbert on several comic operas. Returning home late one night after a more than usually robust party, Sullivan found that he could not tell his own house from a terraced row of identical residences on the same street. His devotion to music did not desert him, however. Walking along the row he paused to kick the metal shoe scrapers that stood by the sides of the front entrances. One sounded familiar. "That's it ... E-flat," Sullivan muttered, whereupon he walked confidently to his own door. A Final Thought ... "I am, in point of fact, a particularly haughty and exclusive person, of pre-Adamite ancestral descent. You will understand this when I tell you that I can trace my ancestry back to a protoplasmal primordial atomic globule." W.S. Gilbert (1836-1911), English librettist. Pooh-Bah, in The Mikado, act 1 (1885). It's of interest to note that in his librettos Gilbert went out of his way to poke fun at popular theories of Darwinian evolution whenever he could.

Extractions: bkelly@snet.net In one scene, set in 1884, Gilbert and Sullivan are quarreling about Gilbert's latest libretto. At one point, Gilbert says to Sullivan: "If you wish to write a grand opera about a prostitute dying of consumption in a garret, I suggest you contact Mr. Ibsen in Oslo. I'm sure he'll be able to furnish you with something suitably dull." In this paper I want to explore how plausible that line is, and, more generally, how familiar Gilbert might have been with Ibsen as of 1884. I'm not doing this to carp about the film; I'm quite pleased to see Ibsen mentioned, even if it turns out some poetic license was needed to shoehorn him in. But I'd like to use the line as a springboard to the question of whether Gilbert knew anything of Ibsen, or had any opinion of him. My research tools have been limited to two available at my local library: Stedman's biography of Gilbert, and Meyer's biography of Ibsen. (See References below.) Facts or quotes that follow are from Meyer unless otherwise noted. Let's begin by looking at the line of dialog quoted above.

Extractions: Contents List The publishing enterprises of Samuel Sidney McClure are an important facet of early twentieth-century American journalism. The McClure Syndicate, started by Samuel Sidney McClure in 1884, was the first successful company of its kind, and was largely responsible for introducing many American and British writers to a national public. His later venture, McClure's Magazine , contained the influential "muckraking" articles of Ida Tarbell, Ray Stannard Baker, and Lincoln Steffens; it also had the distinction of promoting the then-unknown writer, Willa Cather. Although S.S. McClure's tenuous business competency would cause him to lose control over these ventures in the early part of the twentieth century, other members of his family, most notably his cousin, Henry Herbert McClure (d. 1938), were able to maintain a more steady career in the publishing world through the 1930s.
