I Beg To Differ

Only because I’ve never watched Luther (though I was told to) or Broadchurch. I’d’ve included Inspector Wexford (the teenage Idris Elba starred in a Wexford Mystery) and Hamish Macbeth. Shrug. I totally agree with the #1 though :o)

Ooops. Someone stole the wrong life, at the wrong time, in the wrong place? #PRETEND If you watched Alex Waugh’s video posted previously – you might get this (?!) The goddess of love and the rose of love. My love is like a red, red rose – Rabbie Burns (Scottish) Red Mercury. Red Blood. Vampire. […]

Gothic (Horror) : Rebecca

Wednesday, 3 February 2021, 14:57.Reading time 1 minute.

I adore the genre Gothic (Horror) and Daphne du Maurier’s book Rebecca is wonderfully Gothic. Searching it on whytoob – I had no idea that Jeremy Brett (Sherlock Holmes, one time husband of Anna Massey – also in the film) and Joanna David (wife of Edward Fox, aunt of Laurence Fox aka Hathaway) had done […]

The Hero With A Thousand Faces

Wednesday, 3 February 2021, 14:21.Reading time 1 minute.

Joseph Campbell’s book has been a constant companion to me throughout my writing years. I’d always loved Myth and Legend from the age of 5 when I was given a book about Greek Myth for Christmas. In developing my Art/Craft I came to understand that this film’s writer had also used Campbell’s ground-breaking works. Search […]

See image above. Gravy Train has terminated, folks. I’m having a Marlene Moment :o) Fred was a dance genius. FACT!

FORGET Sir Francis Bacon!

Wednesday, 3 February 2021, 13:33.Reading time less than 1 minute.

I was always more of a Baconian than an Oxfordian but I’m a little better educated now. Dr. John Dee is a thousand times more fascinating than Bacon. And one of Dee’s most famous pupils was Edward de Vere. OK. Balancing, one-legged on a high fence here about THE AUTHORSHIP QUESTION but… …Dee is a […]

Δάφνη : Daphne

Wednesday, 3 February 2021, 12:46.Reading time less than 1 minute.

How’s this for a run around Greek Mythology? Y’all know the story of love-sick Apollo’s pursuit of Daphne? And her prayer to her father to be saved from this pesky pest? And that her father turned her into a laurel tree? I’m back with Ovid and his Metamorphoses here. Mmmn. Girl turned into static, unspeaking […]

Philomela & Procne

Wednesday, 3 February 2021, 10:39.Reading time 1 minute.

OK. I knew that this story sounded familiar! Playwright and poet William Shakespeare (1564–1616) makes frequent use of the Philomela myth—most notably in his tragedy Titus Andronicus (c. 1588–1593) where characters directly reference Tereus and Philomela in commenting on rape and mutilation of Lavinia by Aaron, Chiron, and Demetrius. Prominent allusions to Philomela also occur in the depiction of Lucrece […]

The Phoenix & The Turtle

We live and learn! I had no idea, until yesterday, that this poem was by Will Shakespeare. Shame on me :o(
