* 1891 – Arthur Bliss, English composer and conductor ( d. 1975 )

Even composers not directly associated with the ' pastoral ' tradition, such as Arnold Bax, Lennox Berkeley and Arthur Bliss, were attracted to Housman's poetry.

Blissymbols were invented by Charles K. Bliss ( 1897 – 1985 ), born Karl Kasiel Blitz in the Austro-Hungarian city of Czernowitz ( at present the Ukrainian city of Chernivtsi ), which had a mixture of different nationalities that “ hated each other, mainly because they spoke and thought in different languages .”

Bliss graduated as a chemical engineer at the Vienna University of Technology, and joined an electronics company as a research chemist.

His German wife Claire managed to get him released, and they finally became exiles in Shanghai, where Bliss had a cousin.

Bliss devised Blissymbols while a refugee at the Shanghai Ghetto and Sydney, from 1942 to 1949.

Bliss ’ s system was explained in his work Semantography ( 1949, 2nd ed.

Bliss then adopted the name Blissymbolics in order that no researcher could plagiarize his system of symbols.

In his work Semantography Bliss had not provided a systematic set of definitions for his symbols ( there was a provisional vocabulary index instead ( 1965, pp. 827 – 67 )), so McNaughton ’ s team might often interpret a certain symbol in a way that Bliss would later criticize as a “ misinterpretation ”.

For example, they might interpret a tomato as a vegetable — according to the English definition of tomato — even though the ideal Blissymbol of vegetable was restricted by Bliss to just vegetables growing underground.

Eventually the OCCC staff modified and adapted Bliss ’ s system in order to make it serve as a bridge to English.

( 2009, p. 189 ) Bliss complaints about his symbols “ being abused ” by the OCCC became so intense that the director of the OCCC told Bliss, on his 1974 visit, never to come back.

Nevertheless, in 1977 Bliss claimed that this agreement was violated so that he was deprived of effective control of his symbol system.

According to Okrent ( 2009, p. 190 ), there was a final period of conflict, as Bliss would make continuous criticisms to McNaughton often followed by apologies.

Blissymbolic Communication International now claims an exclusive license from Bliss, for the use and publication of Blissymbols for persons with communication, language and learning difficulties.

Bliss ’ s concern about semantics finds an early referent in John Locke, whose Essay Concerning Human Understanding prevented people from those " vague and insignificant forms of speech " that may give the impression of being deep learning.

Bliss stated that his own work was an attempt to take up the thread of Leibniz ’ s project.

Bliss found especially useful their " triangle of reference ": the physical thing or " referent " that we perceive would be represented at the right angle ; the meaning that we know by experience ( our implicit definition of the thing ), at the top angle ; and the physical word that we speak or write, at the left angle.

Bliss was particularly concerned with political propaganda, whose discourses would tend to contain words that correspond to unreal or ambiguous referents.

Both Charles K. Bliss and Margrit Beesley at the OCCC worked with Grice to ensure consistency.
