Aristophanes mentions the burning lens in his play The Clouds ( 424 BC ).

Aristophanes parodied such teachings in his play The Clouds by putting a prayer to air in the mouth of Socrates.

Aristophanes famously parodies the clever inversions that sophists were known for in his play The Clouds.

* Aristophanes ' play The Clouds is performed as is Sophocles ' play Maidens of Trachi and The Putine ( The Bottle ), by Cratinus.

He appears in a play of Eupolis, and in The Clouds ( 423 BC ) and The Birds ( 414 BC ) of Aristophanes.

Clouds play multiple critical roles in the climate system.

Aristophanes however had singled Cleon out for special treatment in his previous play The Knights in 424 and there are relatively few references to him in The Clouds.

At one point in The Clouds, the Chorus declares that the author chose Athens for the first performance of the play, implying that he could have produced it somewhere else ( line 523 ).

Tragic poets sometimes produced their plays in other cities ( Euripides ' play Andromache for example was possibly performed in Argos just before The Clouds appeared at the City Dionysia ) yet comic poets in Aristophanes ' time wrote specifically for local audiences and their plays were studded with topical jokes that only a local audience could understand.

The following places and personalities are mentioned in The Clouds and they are explained and listed in various editions of the play.

According to the Clouds, any judge who fails to award victory to this play might wish to have been born in Egypt after they've finished with him ( line 1130 ).

References in the same parabasis to a play by Eupolis called Maricas ( produced in 421 ) and criticism of the populist politician Hyperbolus ( ostracized in 416 ) indicate that the second version of The Clouds was probably composed somewhere between 421-16 BC.

In The Clouds however, the Chorus appears sympathetic at first but emerges as a virtual antagonist by the end of the play.

Songs performed in the play, but not included on the album: " Chase the Clouds Away " and " In the Morning ".

* The Clouds, a 1797 play by the British writer Richard Cumberland

It praises the author for standing up to monsters like Cleon and it chastises the audience for its failure to appreciate the merits of the author's previous play ( The Clouds ).

Aristophanes ' play The Clouds came third ( i. e. last ).

Bolton's screen credits include Ambassador Bill ( 1931 ), Week-End at the Waldorf ( 1945 ), Ziegfeld Follies ( 1945 ), Till the Clouds Roll By ( 1946 ), Easter Parade ( 1948 ) and the German adaptation of his play Adorable Julia ( 1962 ).

In his play, The Clouds, Aristophanes lampooned Socrates by presenting him as the paradigm of atheistic, scientific sophistry.

The issue of corruption is important for two reasons: first, it appears to be the heart of the charge against him, that he corrupted the young by teaching some version of atheism, and second, Socrates says that if he is convicted, it will be because Aristophanes corrupted the minds of his audience when they were young ( with his slapstick mockery of Socrates in his play, " The Clouds ", produced some twenty-four years earlier ).

A grammarian describes the background of the play as follows: In 424 BC, Aristophanes produced The Knights, in which he described Cratinus " as a drivelling old man, wandering about with his crown withered, and so utterly neglected by his former admirers that he could not even procure to quench the thirst of which he was perishing " Soon after that play, Cratinus responded by producing a play called Pytine ( The Wineflask ) in 423 BC, which defeated the Connus of Ameipsias and The Clouds of Aristophanes, which was produced in the same year.

He directed the films Zapata: The Dream of a Hero, Like Water for Chocolate ( adapted from the novel written by his ex-wife Laura Esquivel ), A Walk in the Clouds with Keanu Reeves and Anthony Quinn, and the Hallmark Hall of Fame production A Painted House, adapted from the John Grisham novel of the same name.

More contemporary renditions include samples from such popular artists as Sam Cooke and The Soul Stirrers ( 1963 ), The Byrds ( 1970 ), Elvis Presley ( 1971 ), Skeeter Davis ( 1972 ), Mighty Clouds of Joy ( 1972 ), Amazing Rhythm Aces ( 1975 ), Willie Nelson ( 1976 ), and The Lemonheads ( 1992 ).

Later we have Till the Clouds Roll By ( Victor Fleming, 1919 ), where anamorphosis is used to depict the nightmare effects of indigestion in a comic manner.

Many of the most critically acclaimed Asian films of all time were produced during this decade, including Yasujirō Ozu's Tokyo Story ( 1953 ), Satyajit Ray's The Apu Trilogy ( 1955 – 1959 ) and The Music Room ( 1958 ), Kenji Mizoguchi's Ugetsu ( 1954 ) and Sansho the Bailiff ( 1954 ), Raj Kapoor's Awaara ( 1951 ), Mikio Naruse's Floating Clouds ( 1955 ), Guru Dutt's Pyaasa ( 1957 ) and Kaagaz Ke Phool ( 1959 ), and the Akira Kurosawa films Rashomon ( 1950 ), Ikiru ( 1952 ), Seven Samurai ( 1954 ) and Throne of Blood ( 1957 ).

Nevertheless, in 1942, Alessandro Blasetti produced his Quattro passi fra le nuvole ( Four Steps in the Clouds ), the story of a humble employee, considered by many others as the first neorealist work.

Mikio Naruse made Repast ( 1950 ), Late Chrysanthemums ( 1954 ), The Sound of the Mountain ( 1954 ) and Floating Clouds ( 1955 ).

However, he continued to make films, including Beyond the Clouds ( 1995 ), for which Wim Wenders filmed some scenes.

Quinn's film career slowed during the 1990s, but he nonetheless continued to work steadily, appearing in Revenge ( 1990 ), Jungle Fever ( 1991 ), Last Action Hero ( 1993 ), A Walk in the Clouds ( 1995 ) and Seven Servants ( 1996 ).

Furthermore, Wim Wenders and Michelangelo Antonioni's Beyond the Clouds in ( 1995 ) and Ermanno Olmi's The Profession of Arms in ( 2001 ), a film about the last days of Giovanni dalle Bande Nere, were also shot in Ferrara.

The House in the Clouds in Thorpeness functioned as the town's water tower from 1923 until 1977.

His distinctive voice can also be best heard on later ELO songs such as " Nightrider " ( 1975 ), " Poker " ( 1975 ), " Above the Clouds " ( 1976 ), " Sweet Is the Night " ( 1977 ), " Across the Border " ( 1977 ) and " The Diary of Horace Wimp " ( 1979 ).

According to yet another view, The Clouds can best be understood in relation to Plato's works, as evidence of an historic rivalry between poetic and philosophical modes of thought.

He was a conscientious and effective commanding officer, popular with the men under his command — an affection still retained by Wimsey's former soldiers many years after the war, as is evident from a short passage in " Clouds of Witness " and an extensive reminiscence in " Gaudy Night ".

Lord Peter Wimsey was played by Ian Carmichael in a series of independent serials that ran from 1972 to 1975 and adapted five novels ( Clouds of Witness, The Unpleasantness at the Bellona Club, Five Red Herrings, Murder Must Advertise and The Nine Tailors ) and by Edward Petherbridge in 1987, in which three of the four major Wimsey / Vane novels ( Strong Poison, Have his Carcase and Gaudy Night ) were dramatised.

Might & Magic: The World of Xeen ( comprising Clouds of Xeen and Dark Side of Xeen ) was reviewed in 1994 in Dragon # 201 by Sandy Petersen in the " Eye of the Monitor " column.

Clouds are pulled together by its wingbeats, the sound of thunder made by its wings clapping, sheet lightning the light flashing from its eyes when it blinks, and individual lightning bolts made by the glowing snakes that it carries around with it.

In the mystery novel Clouds of Witness by Dorothy L. Sayers and its series adaptation by BBC Television, Lord Peter Wimsey solves the case by reference to Manon Lescaut.

That year, she was part of an ensemble of international actors in the French film directed by Michelangelo Antonioni and Wim Wenders, Beyond the Clouds.

Clouds, however, which cover about half of the earth ’ s surface, have an average emissivity of about 0. 5 ( which must be reduced by the fourth power of the ratio of cloud absolute temperature to average earth absolute temperature ) and an average cloud temperature of about.

Clouds in the mesosphere form by adiabatic cooling of water vapor to supersaturation which leads to nucleation or condensation of ice crystals onto small dust particles.

Clouds increase the global reflection of solar radiation from 15 % to 30 %, reducing the amount of solar radiation absorbed by the Earth by about 44 W / m².

Clouds remain one of the largest uncertainties in future projections of climate change by global climate models, owing to the physical complexity of cloud processes and the small scale of individual clouds relative to the size of the model computational grid.

The seven poems she selected —" The Clouds ", " Decor ", " Absinthe ", " Suicide ", " The Church ", " Sunset ", and " The Harp ", none used by Schoenberg — were merely " points of departure " for her suite for mixed ensemble.
