Although it now seems that the painting was executed for another member of the Medici family, it likely was intended to celebrate and flatter its head, Lorenzo de ' Medici.

It excited violent dislike to Ronsard on the part of the Huguenots, who wrote constant pasquinades against him, strove ( by a ridiculous exaggeration of the Dionysiac festival at Arcueil, in which the friends had indulged to celebrate the success of the first French tragedy, Jodelle's Cleopatre ) to represent him as a libertine and an atheist, and ( which seems to have annoyed him more than anything else ) set up his follower Du Bartas as his rival.

In one of the Wimsey Papers, a series of fictionalised commentaries in the form of mock letters between members of the Wimsey family published in the Spectator, there is a reference to Harriet's difficulty in continuing to write murder mysteries at a time when European dictators were openly committing mass murders with impunity ; this seems to have reflected Sayers ' own wartime feeling.

The judge Gideon was also called Jerubaʿal, a name which seems to mean ' Baʿal strives ', though the Yahwists ' explanation in is that the theophoric name was given to mock the god Baʿal, whose shrine Gideon had destroyed, the intention being to imply: " Let Baʿal strive as much as he can ... it will come to nothing.

It seems that verbena as well as the related mock vervains ( Glandularia ) evolved from the assemblage provisionally treated under the genus name Junellia ; both other genera were usually included in the Verbenaceae until the 1990s.

William Wimsatt and Cleanth Brooks, it seems to me, have a penetrating insight into the way in which this control is effected: `` For if we say poetry is to talk of beauty and love ( and yet not aim at exciting erotic emotion or even an emotion of Platonic esteem ) and if it is to talk of anger and murder ( and yet not aim at arousing anger and indignation ) -- then it may be that the poetic way of dealing with these emotions will not be any kind of intensification, compounding, or magnification, or any direct assault upon the affections at all.

Since the great flood of these dystopias has appeared only in the last twelve years, it seems fairly reasonable to assume that the chief impetus was the 1949 publication of Nineteen Eighty-Four, an assumption which is supported by the frequent echoes of such details as Room 101, along with education by conditioning from Brave New World, a book to which science-fiction writers may well have returned with new interest after reading the more powerful Orwell dystopia.

It seems to me that the first human being to reach one of these planets may well learn what it is to be a truly great and noble species ''.

The psychological incompatibility of these emotional states seems to be reflected in, or based on, this marked difference.

Fromm seems unaware of these developments.

Long-term trend of traffic on these roads seems clearly upward.

All these functions, including the function of the healer-god Paean, who seems to have Mycenean origin, are fused in the cult of Apollo.

While much of the construction in these sites conforms to common Pueblo architectural forms, including Kivas, towers, and pit-houses, the space constrictions of these alcoves necessitated what seems to have been a far denser concentration of their populations.

It seems likely that memory constraints were at the root of these differences, as the Apple II ROM had only 10 kilobytes available for the interpreter, and the improved hi-res graphics support was clearly a higher priority.

Although there has been considerable revision of this phylum ( the order Haemosporidia now has 17 genera rather than 9 ) it seems likely these numbers are still approximately correct.

It seems unlikely that Gigantopithecus would have evolved these uniquely hominin traits in parallel.

Most likely one of these two is the biblical Barnabas ; the first one is more likely, because the numbering by Hippolytus seems to indicate a level of significance.

Whether these were consisted only of Goths is rather unlikely so the name " Scythians " by which the Greek sources called them ( a geographical definition ) seems more appropriate.

Estimates of the total number of Protestants are very uncertain, partly because of the difficulty in determining which denominations should be placed in these categories, but it seems clear that Protestantism is the second largest major group of Christians after Catholicism in number of followers ( although the Orthodox Church is larger than any single Protestant denomination ).

The latter course seems to have been seldom adopted ; the ordinary mode of inflicting the punishment was simply this: the censors in their new lists omitted the names of such senators as they wished to exclude, and in reading these new lists in public, quietly omitted the names of those who were no longer to be senators.

There seems to be some forethought in his activity as these items are not found together or near a source of nuts.

If, as seems likely from the name, these people were the continental remnants of the Jutish invaders of Kent, then it may be that the marriage was intended as a unifying political move, reconnecting different branches of the same people.

He seems to agree with these attitudes to some extent, claiming " a wise man " should not engage in that form of intercourse while acknowledging that it can be appropriate in some unspecified cases.

* Presumably some of these civilizations will develop interstellar travel, as Earth seems likely to do ;

They might have some value, but when we consider the total value of a consciousness experiencing a beautiful object, it seems to exceed the simple sum of these values ( Principia 18: 2 ).

* 12th century – Bernard of Clairvaux, commenting on Mark 16: 17 (" they will speak in new tongues "), asked: " For who is there that seems to have these signs of the faith, without which no one, according to this Scripture, shall be saved?

There could be multiple such instances of attempts to push, but it seems from the accounts of the ancients that these were perfectly orchestrated and attempted organized en masse.

Following the story of a preacher man that kills his cheating wife and her lover, ol ' Willie spins the tale with a laid back nonchalance that just seems to ooze out of him, his aching chords and somber melodies encapsulating the futility and pain of his character's situation [...] The Red Headed Stranger is timeless.

Though the exterior of the church seems timeless, it changed twice in the past 500 years ; once when all statuary was removed from the outer niches during the Haarlemse Noon, and the second time in the late 19th century when a " more Gothic look " was given to the church by adding some fake ramparts to the roof edge.

True love, Niffenegger seems to be telling us, is timeless, and can survive even the worst yet, the book is a page-turner, delicately crafted and psychologically sound.

BLK JKS ' experimental Afro-rock took inspiration from The Mars Volta to blend their Zulu heritage and township origins with modern sounds and equipment and an approach to music-making that seems entirely devoid of boundaries, while maintaining the sweet melodies and rhythmic qualities of South Africa's traditional music.

employed many leisure hours in collating and collecting the most favourite of our national melodies, for publication .... we are desirous to have the poetry improved wherever it seems unworthy of the music ....

Rachel Unthank: " Her lyrics are so descriptive and evocative ,... the melodies twist and turn in ways I wouldn't expect, and yet each line seems to melt into each other .."

" Panthea then describes how the two melodies are parted, and Ione interrupts by describing a beautiful chariot with a winged infant whose " two eyes are heavens / Of liquid darkness, which the Deity / Within seems pouring, as a storm is poured / From jagged clouds " and " in its hand / It sways a quivering moon-beam ".
