. . THE MUTABILITY OF LITERATURE.
. . A COLLOQUY IN WESTMINSTER ABBEY.

I had taken down a little thick quarto, curiously
bound in parchment, with brass *CLASPS*, and seated
myself at the table in a venerable elbow-chair.
................................................................
While I sat half-murmuring, half-meditating, these unprofitable
speculations with my head resting on my hand, I was thrumming
with the other hand upon the quarto, until I accidentally
loosened the *CLASPS*; when, to my utter astonishment, the
little book gave two or three yawns, like one awaking from
a *DEEP* sleep, then a husky hem, and at length began to talk.
.................................................................
"My very good sir," said the little quarto, yawning most drearily
in my face, "excuse my interrupting you, but I perceive you are
rather given to prose. I would ask the fate of an author who
was making some noise just as I left the world. His reputation,
however, was considered quite temporary. The learned shook their
heads at him, for he was a poor, half-educated varlet, that knew
little of Latin, and nothing of Greek, and had been obliged
to run the country for deer-stealing. I think his name was
*SHAKESPEARE*. I presume he soon sunk into oblivion."

"On the contrary," said I, "it is owing to that *VERy man* that
the literature of his period has experienced a duration beyond the
ordinary term of English literature. There rise authors now and
then who seem proof against the mutability of language because
they have rooted themselves in the unchanging principles of
human nature. They are like gigantic trees that we sometimes
see on the banks of a stream, which by their vast and *DEEP* roots,
penetrating through the mere surface and laying hold on the VERy
foundations of the earth, preserve the soil around them from
being swept away by the EVER-flowing current, and hold up many
a neighboring plant, and perhaps WORTHless WEED, to perpetuity.
Such is the case with Shakespeare, whom we behold defying the
encroachments of time, retaining in modern use the language and
literature of his day, and giving duration to many an indifferent
author, merely from having flourished in his vicinity. But even
he, I grieve to say, is gradually assuming the tint of age,
and his whole form is overrun by a profusion of commentators,
who, like clambering vines and creepers, almost
*bury the NOBLE plant* that upholds them."

If the ELS depend's *primarily* upon someone's personal

There you go again: "63 has quite a history."

. . THE MUTABILITY OF LITERATURE.
. . A COLLOQUY IN WESTMINSTER ABBEY.
I had taken down a little thick quarto, curiously
bound in parchment, with brass *CLASPS*, and seated
myself at the table in a venerable elbow-chair.
................................................................
While I sat half-murmuring, half-meditating, these unprofitable
speculations with my head resting on my hand, I was thrumming
with the other hand upon the quarto, until I accidentally
loosened the *CLASPS*; when, to my utter astonishment, the
little book gave two or three yawns, like one awaking from
a *DEEP* sleep, then a husky hem, and at length began to talk.
.................................................................
"My very good sir," said the little quarto, yawning most drearily
in my face, "excuse my interrupting you, but I perceive you are
rather given to prose. I would ask the fate of an author who
was making some noise just as I left the world. His reputation,
however, was considered quite temporary. The learned shook their
heads at him, for he was a poor, half-educated varlet, that knew
little of Latin, and nothing of Greek, and had been obliged
to run the country for deer-stealing. I think his name was
*SHAKESPEARE*. I presume he soon sunk into oblivion."
"On the contrary," said I, "it is owing to that *VERy man* that
the literature of his period has experienced a duration beyond the
ordinary term of English literature. There rise authors now and
then who seem proof against the mutability of language because
they have rooted themselves in the unchanging principles of
human nature. They are like gigantic trees that we sometimes
see on the banks of a stream, which by their vast and *DEEP* roots,
penetrating through the mere surface and laying hold on the VERy
foundations of the earth, preserve the soil around them from
being swept away by the EVER-flowing current, and hold up many
a neighboring plant, and perhaps WORTHless WEED, to perpetuity.
Such is the case with Shakespeare, whom we behold defying the
encroachments of time, retaining in modern use the language and
literature of his day, and giving duration to many an indifferent
author, merely from having flourished in his vicinity. But even
he, I grieve to say, is gradually assuming the tint of age,
and his whole form is overrun by a profusion of commentators,
who, like clambering vines and creepers, almost
*bury the NOBLE plant* that upholds them."

If the ELS depend's *primarily* upon someone's personal

Art Neuendorffer
And there I was thinking you had decided to be a bit more amicable.

I hadn't heard the word 'truthiness' until now.

Do you check your ELSs against original spelling editions? Even then you'd have to be sure there aren't typos.

Sure finding an ELS may be impressive but if you can show why the skip in question may be significant it is all the more impressive. If you find lots of ELSs at 15 skip or if you can show why 15 is a particularly significant number so much the better.

Just to get this clear you used to like some of my ideas but then disagreed with what you imagined to be my politics and now because of that you don't like my ideas any more. That's a bit like saying that because your enemies can't do good science, which i suggest would be rather a dangerous line for the Pentagon to adopt.

Given the definition of truthiness I'd say that in all the humanities there has to be an element of subjective judgement, they are not exact sciences.

I seem to remember you wrote complimentary things about me to both me and others. It's you who initiated contact with me, sent me hundreds of emails. I listened politely and thought there might be some good things in there. It's like watching a stream of dross for the occasional flash of gold. The Washington Irving ELS is promising. Well done.

You should try to work out why people don't respond, so you don't go crazy. I'll write more tomorrow.
Well a bit more tonight. I assume you post your ELSs here as a record for posterity. If you want people to listen now you should seek feedback. Put out only the best. I presume you think Washington Irving the best you've found and you are showing it to me for that reason. All I can say is that it looks worthy of further investigation, but I don't have time for that. I doubt many others will think it worthy of investigation at all, I'm afraid to say. I'd also say that although I think most of your ELSs are worthless - I was too polite to say so before - it doesn't mean that you don't have other interesting and stimulating ideas, it's just the ELSs.

Obviously it's possible to write using ELSs but I think difficult to write good poetry or prose incorporating and ELS, have you tried? It may be quite difficult to show why anyone would create an ELS as well. But I think they should be investigated 'scientifically' In science observation precedes explanation. In the humanities people only observe what can be fitted into a context. The isolated observation without a context is ignored. I don't agree. The isolated observation which doesn't have a context may raise questions, it may show that what we have previously assumed is wrong.
Okay maybe more tomorrow or maybe I'll find more to say tonight. I loved the Maria video. She's so cute. Peter

It’s off-topic but Art brought in and I must explain why Art states that I am a supporter of Trump and Putin. I find Trump to be an extremely vulgar individual and can perfectly understand why women may be repelled by him but nonetheless having spent some years in Russia I was certainly glad when Trump was elected in 2016. I was hopeful that he would dial down America’s aggressive stance towards Russia and feel completely vindicated. Now that the Democrats are back we face a very dangerous situation in the Black Sea which keeps the Chief of the British Armed Forces awake at night.

I rest a bit easier knowing there are sane people at the top of our military, but fear they may be no match for their political masters.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nick_Carter_(British_Army_officer)#Criticism

<<General Sir Nicholas Patrick Carter, GCB, CBE, DSO, ADC Gen (born 11 February 1959) is a Kenyan-born senior British Army officer. Carter has been criticised on several occasions by American officers for his conduct and command while in Afghanistan. He was described by Colonel Harry Tunnell, former Brigade Commander of 5/2 Stryker Brigade Combat Team, as displaying a "gross lack of concern for subordinates" throughout his command in Afghanistan in 2009 and 2010. Further criticism came from Lieutenant General Daniel P. Bolger, who claimed that "young riflemen paid the price" for Carter's "risk-averse" mentality and his unwillingness to allow his troops to defend themselves. Bolger also claimed that Carter refused to visit the front line and only visited safe positions by helicopter, while frequently refusing requests for aircraft and artillery support from troops under his command. Bolger further stated, "He's not the type of general I would put in charge of anything.">>

Art Neuendorffer is not the type of person I'd trust to give a fair balanced account of anything. He omits the following two paragraphs of the wikipedia article

<<These allegations have been vigorously contested by other US officers and British colleagues. For instance, Lieutenant General Ben Hodges who commanded US Army Europe, and worked under Carter in Afghanistan, wrote to The Sunday Times stating that he was "appalled" by Bolger's representation of Carter.[53] The letter, jointly signed with another former subordinate of Carter, went on to observe that Carter's emphasis on avoiding civilian casualties had been crucial to mission success, that the soldiers under his command were never denied the right to defend themselves, and that Carter frequently exposed himself to personal danger by deploying forward to the key towns and villages at the heart of the counter-insurgency effort.[53] Carter Malkasian, an author and CNA analyst writing for The Washington Post, said Bolger was "on thin ice" when criticizing those, like Carter, who "tried to protect innocents".[54]

Conversely, Tunnell's judgment whilst under Carter's command was the subject of criticism.[55][56][57] A formal US Army review of the conduct of Tunnell's brigade in Afghanistan pointed to its "lack of discipline" and "contempt for the normal Army rules".[58] The report's author concluded: "Colonel Tunnell is no longer in command... If still in command, I would recommend that Colonel Tunnell be relieved of his responsibilities as a brigade commander."[58] >>

and yet he accuses me of 'truthiness' .

I think that any fair-minded reader can see that he is in no position whatever to make accusations of 'truthiness' for which he provides not a scintilla of evidence, when he himself is so blatantly selective in his references to General Carter. I didn't even know who Carter until a few days ago but I think he is doing his best to prevent military confrontation in the Black Sea.

I had been prepared to engage in debate with Art under a pseudonym because I thought this raised interesting questions of methodology and that amongst the mass of data which seemed to me insignificant there might be something of value. He revealed my real name which seems to me unethical.

I consider most of what he presents is insignificant but his work raises questions of methodology. I deplore his personal abuse and what I consider to be his warmongering political views.

I hope I will not feel the need to respond further to any reply he makes.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lies_and_the_Lying_Liars_Who_Tell_Them

<<Lies and the Lying Liars Who Tell Them is a satirical book on American politics by Al Franken, a comedian, political commentator, and politician. The book's subtitle, A Fair and Balanced Look at the Right, is a parody of Fox News' tagline "Fair and Balanced."

In August 2003, Fox News sued comedian Al Franken over his use of the slogan as a subtitle for his book, Lies and the Lying Liars Who Tell Them: A Fair and Balanced Look at the Right, which is critical of Fox News Channel. The lawsuit was dropped three days later, after Judge Denny Chin refused its request for an injunction. In his decision, Chin ruled the case was "wholly without merit, both factually and legally". He went on to suggest that Fox News' trademark on the phrase "fair and balanced" could be invalid.>>

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Peace_in_Our_Time_(play)

<<Peace in Our Time is a two-act play written in 1946 by Noël Coward. It is a work of alternative history, focusing on a group of Londoners in a pub close to Sloane Square, after Nazi Germany has won the Battle of Britain and successfully invaded and occupied the United Kingdom. The work takes inspiration from the real-life sufferings of French citizens during the German occupation of France, which Coward had followed closely. The piece is unusual for its sombre tone, being considerably darker than the comedic approach of most of Coward's plays.>>
