In addition to recognizing that the lover’s total and willing subjugation to his beloved’s wishes is neither servile nor reprehensible, we allow that there is one-and only one-further reason for willingly subjecting oneself to another which is equally above reproach: that is subjection for the sake of virtue. Our customs, then, provide for only one honorable way of taking a man as a lover. Only Diotima explicates that a person seeks glory and honor in their quest for immortality. ![]() This underlies the undercurrent of honor in the speeches. If they were at battle, they would never do anything shameful, such as leave ranks or drop weapons, in front of his beloved, but would battle on, questing to be a hero. Phaedrus, who speaks of courage, explains that people feel the most shame in front of the person they love. Theirs would be the best possible system of society, for they would hold back from all that is shameful, and seek honor in each other’s eyes. ![]() ![]() If only there were a way to start a city or an army made up of lovers and the boys they love. ![]() ![]() ![]() They also delve into the role played by women in the Civil Rights Movement. They discuss the Civil Rights Movement’s success with shifting public opinion, through nonviolent protests and indelible iconography, and whether strong statements and product name changes issued by so many corporations today are likely to lead to genuine structural change. They explore the parallels between the current civil unrest and racial injustice the country is witnessing and what took place in 1963 in Birmingham, Alabama, including police brutality then and now, and the ongoing connection between race, economics, and political pressure. They are joined by Diane McWhorter, the Pulitzer Prize-winning author of Carry Me Home: Birmingham, Alabama: The Climactic Battle of the Civil Rights Revolution. This week on “The Learning Curve,” Cara and Gerard mark the Juneteenth commemoration of the end of slavery with an episode devoted to Civil Rights history.

The verdict, from hoof to withers (the highest point of the back): 14.5 inches, the equivalent of 36.8 centimeters. On Monday, they took the goat back to Dahl for an official measurement to meet Guinness standards. The Bennetts knew that Ivy was smaller than that. She discovered that the Guinness Book of World Records doesn't list a smallest goat, but it does say that to qualify, an adult goat would have to measure at no more than 40.5 centimeters, roughly 16 inches. "There's apparently some sort of genetic factor," Dahl said over the phone this week, but added that there's no reason Ivy shouldn't live a normal pygora goat lifespan of 12 to 15 years.ĭuring the long winter, Susan did some research. Last fall, the Bennetts took Ivy to their veterinarian, Justin Dahl at Happy Tails Animal Hospital in Superior, and learned their littlest goat was perfectly healthy. ![]() After four weeks, Susan said, Ivy simply stopped growing, while a couple of other pygoras born at the same time shot past her. ![]() ![]() He went through periods of gloom and nightmares and loss of appetite, but gradually he became happier until, as the holidays came near, he was smiling and rubbing his hands.

While Commander Pott looked under the bonnet, Mimsie and Jeremy and Jemima prodded the once beautiful upholstery (moths flew out !) and looked under the carpets (beetles scuttled about!) and examined all the knobs and switches and dials on the dashboard (there were dozens, all rusty and mildewed ). ![]() ![]() ![]() While the tabloids carried some of these two girls’ stories, there is a lot of behind the scenes that no one ever told. It is about love and losses, and the girls present and journey into adulthood. ![]() This memoir is about family, adventures, and a special sisterly bond. Despite all that went on around them, the two sisters dealt with it together, and their bond became stronger the older they grew. The girls’ college life was characterized by the secret service which followed them everywhere they went and the paparazzi who were too happy to announce every teenage mistake they made to the world. Their grandfather became president when the girls were still small, and twelve years later, it was their father’s turn in the white house. Born in a political family, these two girls grew up with the world closely watching their every step.

The Dupin tales, in turn, are grounded in the cult of Night and in the initiatory powers of darkness, recalling the mystical "night of the soul." The two "landscape tales" depict the act of an artistic transcendence, performed by an artisan devoted to emulating the supernal order within the bounds of empirical reality. ![]() The article is devoted to the mystical elements and allusions surfacing in Poe's "analytical, "angelic," and "landscape" tales: "A Descent into the Maelström," "The Purloined Letter," "The Murders in the Rue Morgue," "The Domain of Arnheim," "Landor's Cottage," "Mesmeric Revelation," "The Colloquy of Monos and Una," "The Conversation of Eiros and Charmion," and "The Power of Words." It is argued that the narrative circumstances in ""A Descent into the Maelström,"" in which the Norwegian fisherman describes to the unnamed narrator his adventure, rework the long-established spiritual imagery. ![]() ![]() ![]() It was unfortunate timing for me personally, because I was working wardrobe for a show and had a quick change to do. A year after the final book in the series was published, I still think about how many times I stared off at nothing as I processed cliffhangers and plot twists that I hadn’t seen coming.Īt one point, in A Gathering Of Shadows (the second book in the series), I recall distinctly that I sat with my jaw dropped, screaming because of the sudden onslaught of feelings that I couldn’t contain.
