| "Shown no enmity?" Anybody heard of the first Gulf War?
Actually, the First Persian Gulf war was the Iran-Iraq war, I
understand. But maybe you refer to the US "war" against Saddam's
confounded attempt to occupy Kuwait after conferring with US State
Department about regime change and liberation of oil there?
This must have been confusing to many, since the US supported Saddam
and Iraq in its war with Iran (I've even heard that Saddam is was
backed by the CIA as one of its strongman dictators), following the
Iran hostage situation, which of course followed the US support of the
Shaw in Iran. The Wikipedia reports:
(quote)
[photo] Donald Rumsfeld meeting Saddam on 19 December-20, 1983.
Rumsfeld visited again on 24 March 1984; the same day the UN released
a report that Iraq had used Mustard and Tabun Nerve Gas against
Iranian troops. The NY Times reported from Baghdad on 29 March 1984,
that "American diplomats pronounce themselves satisfied with Iraq and
the U.S., and suggest that normal diplomatic ties have been
established in all but name." NSA Archive Source

Wikipedia article continues:

Much of what Saddam received from the West, however, were not arms per
se, but so-called dual-use technology-ultra-sophisticated computers,
armored ambulances, helicopters, chemicals, and the like, with
potential civilian uses as well as military applications. It is now
known that a vast network of companies, based in the US and abroad,
eagerly fed the Iraqi war machine right up until August 1990, when
Saddam invaded Kuwait [4].
The Iraq-gate scandal revealed that an Atlanta branch of Italy's
largest bank, Banca Nazionale del Lavoro, relying partially on US
taxpayer-guaranteed loans, funneled $5 billion to Iraq from 1985 to
1989. In August 1989, when FBI agents finally raided the Atlanta
branch of BNL, the branch manager, Christopher Drogoul, was charged
with making unauthorized, clandestine, and illegal loans to Iraq-some
of which, according to his indictment, were used to purchase arms and
weapons technology.

of technology)
Aside from the New York Times, the Los Angeles Times, and ABC's Ted
Koppel, the Iraq-gate story never picked up much steam, even though
The US Congress became involved with the scandal. FAS report

Because of the tens of millions who died in the Iran-Iraq war, plus
millions more who will probably die before the US and its "coalition"
succeeds in its "democratization of the Middle East," no doubt there
is plenty of enmity to go around. bookburn

As I have noted before, there is no point arguing about "nutcase
numerology and crackpot cryptography" - the mindset of modern
'rational' man is oceans apart from that of the few 'giants' from
antiquity through the Renaissance on whose shoulders Newton professed
to stand.
But, then, of course, Newton was literally a half-wit by the lights of
modern 'rational' man - working with a full deck in mathematical
physics but woefully short thereof in that other branch of mathematics
which concerns 'harmonia mundi'.
In this respect, a modern author, writing of mid- and late-16th century
works in the latter field, has commented as follows:
"These and similar works must not be dismissed as the product of an
esoteric trend repugnant to reputable theologians. Much of what we
find in [the authors in question] can be referred back to patristic
sources, to medieval authorities such as St. Thomas Aquinas, or again
to Renaissance theologians, the reason being that orthodox theology was
invaded by syncretistic thought to a much greater extent than we have
been prepared to believe in the present century. Since the eighteenth
century the absurdity of this type of reasoning has been only too
apparent, largely becauee the syncretistic appproach by then had become
thoroughly discredited. The very word itself today has pejorative
connotations implying a selection of bits and pieces from widely
disparate sources. The vision prompting the selection has been
forgotten, at the same time that the closely allied concept of
meaningful form has been so effectively suppressed as to be virtually
unknown. Our complete alienation from the syncretistic tradition is
revealed by the irresistible tendency, even among reputable scholars,
to associate number symbolism with a mystical rather than a rational
approach to reality. Although the arithmologists (including St
Augustine and Nicholas of Cusa) again and again define number as _ratio
explicata_, the application of number symbolism to the text of the
Bible resulted in interpretations that many will find it difficult to
treat as rational. [...] Yet arguments like these can be traced through
the pages of St Augustine and Gregory the Great to those of Cornelius a
Lapide (1567-1637). This means that theologians whom we are compelled
to consider rational nevertheless habitually attributed meaningfulness
to structures described in the Bible, such as Noah's Ark, or to
literary structures formed by the text itself. Temporal schemes, too,
were important, and all these various structures were related to the
structure of the universe." Maren-Sofie Rostvig, 'Structure as
prophecy: the influence of biblical exegesis upon theories of literary
structure', in 'Silent Poetry - Essays in numerological analysis', ed.
by Alastair Fowler, 1970, pp. 38-39)
In a footnote, the author wrote of a modern editor's introduction to
Pico della Mirandola's work, 'On the Dignity of Man. On Being and the
One. Heptaplus', as follows:
"[His] introduction to this useful volume reveals, with startling
clarity, our present-day attitude to the syncretistic bias of the
Renaissance. Pico's belief in the one truth that can be found in Greek
philosophy as well as in sacred writ is characterized as very curioius,
and it is noted, with some surprise, that 'Pico even had some
misinformation on the "Egyptian" source of Greek thought'.. The
syncretistic vision is reduced to a matter of a 'tolerant eclecticism',
a phrase which is utterly absurd, applied to men such as Pico or
Ficino. The failure to grasp the rational core of this vision is
indicated by the statement that 'Even such presumably clear-thinking
rational philosophers as Plato and Aristotle were seen as initiates in
a secret tradition of sacred truth'. To the Renaissance, as to
antiquity, only the few were capable and worthy of being initiated into
the cult of highest reason. What we have forgotten, today, is the
simple point that the Renaissance associated the profoundest
'mysteries' with man's highest rational powers." (Op. cit., p. 65)

he was by profession a humanist, and that his pursuits and studies
were making books for the press, all of great utility and no less
entertainment to the nation. One was called "The Book of Liveries,"
in which he described *seven hundred & three liveries*, with their
colours, mottoes, and ciphers, from which gentlemen of the court might
pick and choose any they fancied for festivals and revels, without
having to go a-begging for them from anyone, or puzzling their brains,
as the saying is, to have them appropriate to their objects and
purposes; "for," said he, "I give the jealous, the rejected, the

The Cipher Value of "Igne Natura Renovatur Integra", 14312, may
(a) shed light on what this Masonic phrase is meant to convey, and
(b) reaffirm my point yesterday on "Re. THE STATE OF THE DISPUTE etc."
For it mirrors the Cipher Sum 3635 + 4000 + 6677 = 14312, where
3635 = Emmanuel;
4000 = Flaming Sword; and
6677 = God With Us. (Matt. 1:23)

<<Oliver HAZARD Perry was born on August 23, 1785, at the Old Perry
Homestead in South Kingston, Rhode Island, of "Fighting QUAKER parents."
His father was in the United States Navy and young Perry soon followed.
At the age of 13, Perry entered the Navy as a midshipman, where his
first assignment was in the Caribbean under the command of his father
aboard the sloop-of-war, GENERAL GREENE.
Perry's subsequent voyages took him to Europe and Africa during the
Barbary Wars. In 1805, at the age of 20, Perry became a lieutenant
and was given the command of a small schooner. Next, he was called to
oversee the construction of a number of gunboats ordered by President
Thomas Jefferson. When this job was successfully completed, Perry
was given the command of the 14-gun vessel REVEnge and cruised the
northern- and mid-Atlantic waters of the Eastern United States.>>

harbors. Unfortunately, through faulty piloting and bad weather,
REVEnge wrecked on a reef. Perry requested an inactive status and
an investigation. The court of inquiry found him blameless for the LOSS
& actually applauded him for his valiant attempts to save public property.
The Battle of Lake Erie began with Perry aboard his flagship LAWRENCE
named after his close friend James Lawrence who was mortally wounded
months before. In the early stages of the battle, however, LAWRENCE
and her crew took most of the enemy's fire. LAWRENCE was
severely damaged and over 80 percent of Perry's crew were killed
or wounded by concentrated British gunfire.>>
------------------------------------------------------------------------
After his victory in the War of 1812, Perry was promoted to the rank
of Captain and given command of the new frigate JAVA. Then in 1819,
as commander of JOHN ADAMS, Perry was sent to Venezuela on
a diplomatic mission. After completing his mission he contracted
yellow fever and died at sea on board the U.S. Schooner
NUNSUCH on August 23, 1819, his 34th birthday.>>

Oliver Hazard Perry married Elizabeth Champlin MASON on May 5, 1811
in the drawing room of Dr. MASON (father).
<<Wife Elizabeth MASON Perry had dreamt the death of her husband
"If I were superstitious it would worry me, but I am not, and
I shall think no more about it." The next that was heard -
Oliver Hazard Perry was dead! Buried at Port of Spain, Trinidad,
with full military honors, in 1826, his remains were moved
from Trinidad to Newport, Rhode Island. On May 24, 1836,
the purchase was completed on his present day resting spot,
at the Island Cemetery. In his memory, a tall granite obelisk
was erected by the State of Rhode Island.
His portrait, attributed to Sanford Mason, is on display.>>

<<[Dorothy] was a resident of Caesarea, Cappadocia,
who when she refused to sacrifice to the gods during Emperor
Diocletian's persecution of the Christians, was tortured by the governor
and ordered executed. On the way to the place of execution, she met a
young LAWYER, Theophilus, who mockingly asked her to send him fruits
from "the GARDEN" she had joyously announced she would soon be in. When
she knelt for her execution, she prayed, and an angel with a basket of
three roses and three apples, which she sent to Theophilus, telling
him she would meet him in the GARDEN. Theophilus was converted
to christianity and later was martyred.

several of his works, and laid the foundation of his 'Acts and
Monuments.' How long he remained with this family is uncertain;
but it appears that GARDINER, during that time,
'Laid many traps for the young tutor, wishing to arrest him. Once
on a visit to the Earl of Surrey (then Duke of Norfolk), GARDINER met
Fox in the apartment of his pupils, where the Duke had been, when Fox,
seeing GARDINER, instantly withdrew. The Bishop asked who he was, the
Duke evasively answered, 'He is my physician;' '1 like his appearance,'
was the reply of the Bishop, 'and when necessity requires
I WILL employ him'">>

To driue away the heauie thought of Care?
La. MADAMe, wee'le play at Bowles.
Qu. 'TWILL make me thinke the World is full of Rubs,
And that my fortune runnes against the Byas.
La. MADAMe, wee'le Dance.
Qu. My Legges can keepe no measure in Delight,
When my poore Heart no measure keepes in Griefe.
Therefore no Dancing (Girle) some other sport.
La. MADAMe, wee'le tell Tales.
Qu. Of Sorrow, or of Griefe?
La. Of eyther, MADAMe.
Qu. Of neyther, Girle.
For if of Ioy, being altogether wanting,
It doth remember me the more of Sorrow:
Or if of Griefe, being altogether had,
It addes more Sorrow to my want of Ioy:
For what I haue, I need not to repeat;
And what I want, it bootes not to complaine.
La. MADAMe, Ile sing.
Qu. 'Tis well that thou hast cause:
But thou should'st please me better, would'st thou weepe.
La. I could weepe, MADAMe, would it doe you good.
Qu. And I could sing, would weeping doe me good,
And neuer borrow any Teare of thee.
Enter a GARDINER, and two Seruants.
But stay, here comes the GARDINERS,
Let's step into the shadow of these Trees.
My wretchednesse, vnto a Rowe of Pinnes,
They'le talke of State: for euery one doth so,
Against a Change; Woe is fore-runne with Woe.
Gard. Goe binde thou vp yond dangling Apricocks,
Which like vnruly Children, make their Syre
Stoupe with oppression of their prodigall weight:
Giue some supportance to the bending twigges.
Goe thou, and like an Executioner
Cut off the heads of too fast growing sprayes,
That looke too loftie in our Common-wealth:
All must be euen, in our Gouernment.
You thus imploy'd, I WILL goe root away
The noysome Weedes, that without profit sucke
The Soyles fertilitie from wholesome flowers.
Ser. Why should we, in the compasse of a Pale,
Keepe Law and Forme, and due Proportion,
Shewing as in a Modell our firme Estate?
When our Sea-walled GARDEN, the whole Land,
Is full of Weedes, her fairest flowers choakt vp,
Her Fruit-trees all vnpruin'd, her Hedges ruin'd,
Her Knots disorder'd, and her wholesome Hearbes
Swarming with Caterpillers.
Gard. Hold thy peace.
He that hath suffer'd this disorder'd Spring,
Hath now himselfe met with the Fall of Leafe.
The Weeds that his broad-spreading Leaues did shelter,
That seem'd, in eating him, to hold him vp,
Are pull'd vp, Root and all, by Bullingbrooke:
I meane, the Earle of Wiltshire, Bushie, GREENE.
Ser. What are they dead?
Gard. They are,
And Bullingbrooke hath seiz'd the wastefull King.
Oh, what pitty is it, that he had not so trim'd
And drest his Land, as we this GARDEN, at time of yeare,
And wound the Barke, the skin of our Fruit-trees,
Least being ouer-proud with Sap and Blood,
With too much riches it confound it selfe?
Had he done so, to great and growing men,
They might haue liu'd to beare, and he to taste
Their fruites of dutie. Superfluous branches
We lop away, that bearing boughes may liue:
Had he done so, himselfe had borne the Crowne,
Which waste and idle houres, hath quite thrown downe.
Ser. What thinke you the King shall be depos'd?
Gar. Deprest he is already, and depos'd
'Tis doubted he WILL be. Letters came last night
To a deere Friend of the Duke of Yorkes,
That tell blacke tydings.
Qu. Oh I am prest to death through want of speaking:
Thou old ADAMs likenesse, set to dresse this GARDEN:
How dares thy harsh rude tongue sound this vnpleasing
What Eue? what Serpent hath suggested thee, (newes
To make a second fall of cursed man?
Why do'st thou say, King Richard is depos'd,
Dar'st thou, thou little better thing then earth,
Diuine his downfall? Say, where, when, and how
Cam'st thou by this ill-tydings? Speake thou wretch.
Gard. Pardon me MADAM. Little ioy haue I
To breath these newes; yet what I say, is true;
King Richard, he is in the mighty hold
Of Bullingbrooke, their Fortunes both are weigh'd:
In your Lords Scale, is nothing but himselfe,
And some few Vanities, that make him light:
But in the Ballance of great Bullingbrooke,
Besides himselfe, are all the English Peeres,
And with that oddes he weighes King Richard downe.
Poste you to London, and you'l finde it so,
I speake no more, then euery one doth know.
Qu. Nimble mischance, that art so light of foote,
Doth not thy Embassage belong to me?
And am I last that knowes it? Oh thou think'st
To serue me last, that I may longest keepe
Thy sorrow in my breast. Come Ladies goe,
To meet at London, Londons King in woe.
What was I borne to this: that my sad looke,
Should grace the Triumph of great Bullingbrooke.
Gard'ner, for telling me this newes of woe,
I would the Plants thou graft'st, may neuer grow. Exit.
G Poore Queen, so that thy State might be no worse,
I would my skill were subiect to thy curse:
Heere did she drop a teare, heere in this place
Ile set a Banke of Rew, sowre Herbe of Grace:
Rue, eu'n for ruth, heere shortly shall be seene,
In the remembrance of a Weeping Queene. Exit.

Moby Dick - Melville
"Avast," cried Ahab- "touch not a rope-yarn"; then in a voice that
prolongingly moulded every word- "Captain Gardiner, I will not do
it. Even now I lose time, Good-bye, good-bye. God bless ye, man,
and may I forgive myself, but I must go. Mr. Starbuck, look at the
binnacle watch, and in three minutes from this present instant warn
off all strangers; then brace forward again, and let the ship sail
as before."
Hurriedly turning, with averted face, he descended into his cabin,
leaving the strange captain transfixed at this unconditional and utter
rejection of his so earnest suit. But starting from his enchantment,
Gardiner silently hurried to the side; more fell than stepped into his
boat, and returned to his ship.
Soon the two ships diverged their wakes; and long as the strange
vessel was in view, she was seen to yaw hither and thither at every
dark spot, however small, on the sea. This way and that her yards were
swung around; starboard and larboard, she continued to tack; now she
beat against a head sea; and again it pushed her before it; while
all the while, her masts and yards were thickly clustered with men, as
three tall cherry trees, when the boys are cherrying among the boughs.
But by her still halting course and winding, woeful way, you plainly
saw that this ship that so WEPT with spray, still remained without
comfort. She was Rachel, WEEPing for her children,
because they were not.

WIST: A common exclamation of regret occurring in Spenser,
Harrington, and the older writers. An earlier instance
of the phrase occurs in the Towneley Mysteries.

Faerie Queene. Book iii. Canto xi. St. 54.
And as she lookt about, she did behold,
How over that same dore was likewise writ,
Be bold, be bold, and every where Be bold,
That much she muz'd, yet could not construe it
By any ridling skill, or commune WIT.
At last she spyde at that roomes upper end,
Another yron dore, on which was writ,
Be not too bold; whereto though she did bend
Her earnest mind, yet WIST not what it might intend.

Mark 9
1 And he said unto them, Verily I say unto you, That there be some
of them that stand here, which shall not taste of death, till they have
seen the kingdom of God come with power. And after six days Jesus
taketh with him Peter, and James, and John, and leadeth them up
into an high mountain apart by themselves: and he was transfigured
before them. And his raiment became shining, exceeding white as snow;
so as no fuller on earth can white them. And there appeared unto them
Elias with Moses: and they were talking with Jesus. And Peter
answered and said to Jesus, Master, it is good for us to be here:
and let us make three tabernacles; one for thee, and one for
Moses, and one for Elias.
6 For he WIST not what to say; for they were sore afraid.
And there was a cloud that overshadowed them: and a voice came out
of the cloud, saying, This is my beloved Son: hear him. And suddenly,
when they had looked round about, they saw no man any more,
save Jesus only with themselves. And as they came down from
the mountain, he charged them that they should tell no man what
things they had seen, till the Son of man were risen from the dead.

No, Art; you're missing the point, as usual. In fact, the name of
Charlie Chan's creator, Erle [Earl] De[Ve]rr Biggers [Buggers] should be
read as "Earl DeVer Buggers," a transparent allusion to Oxford's reputed
pursuits with his catamite Orazio Cogno.

When you learn to write English, you can let me know, Art. You can
also reapply to Lehigh. I think that age discrimination is illegal, so
being a legacy admission, you just might have a chance -- provided, of
course, that you refrain from writing about feces, as you did last time.

St. Francis of ASSisi: "I have sinned against my brother the ass."
William James: "We want all our friends to tell us our bad qualities; it is
only the particular ass that does so whom we can't tolerate."
<<Asses constituted a considerable portion of wealth in ancient times (Gen.
12:16; 30:43; 1 Chr. 27:30; Job 1:3; 42:12). They were noted for their
spirit and their attachment to their master (Isa. 1:3). They are frequently
spoken of as having been ridden upon, as by Abraham (Gen. 22:3), Balaam
(Num. 22:21), the disobedient prophet (1 Kings 13:23), the family of Abdon
the judge, seventy in number (Judg. 12:14), Zipporah (Ex. 4:20), the
Shunammite (1 Sam. 25:30), etc. Zechariah (9:9) predicted our Lord's
triumphal entrance into Jerusalem, "riding upon an ass, and upon a colt,"
etc. (Matt. 21:5, R.V.). >>
<<Their reputation for stubborness is due to some handlers'
misinterpretation of their highly-developed sense of self preservation. It
is difficult to force or frighten a donkey into doing something it sees as
contrary to its own best interest. Donkeys are quite intelligent, cautious,
friendly, playful, and eager to learn. Once you have earned their confidence
they can be willing and companionable partners in work and recreation. >>
----------------------------------------------------------------
<<The ass was a symbol of the Egyptian god, Ra, the Greek god Dionysus as
well as Jesus Christ, who is said to have ridden the animal into Jerusalem;
this is the origin of the cross on its shoulders. Greek mythology also
includes the story of King Midas who judged against Apollo in favor of Pan
during a musical contest and had his ears changed to those of a donkey as
punishment. An Indian tale has an ass dressed in a panther skin give himself
away by braying, while one of Aesop's fables similarly has an ass dressed in
a lion skin who gives himself away by braying. A German proverb claims a
donkey can wear a lion suit but its ear will still stick out and give it
away. English proverbs include better be the head of an ass than the tail of
a horse, if an ass goes a-traveling, he'll not come back a horse and better
ride on an ass that carries me home than a horse that throws me. European
folklore also claims that the tail of a donkey can be used to combat
whooping cough or scorpion stings.>>

Shakespeare: Who knows himself a braggart, let him fear this; for it will
come to pass that every braggart shall be found an ass.
Arthur Schopenhauer: Books are like a mirror. If an ass looks in, you can't
expect an angel to look out.
Lyndon Baines Johnson: While you're saving your face, you're losing your
ass.
Mencius: To raise a son without learning is raising an ass; to raise a
daughter without learning is raising a pig.
Robert Burton: A mere scholar, a mere ass.
Sir Richard Burton: A man that hoards up riches and enjoys them not, is like
an ass that carries gold and eats thistles.
William Blake: The Goddess Fortune is the devil's servant, ready to kiss any
one's ass.

A male donkey (jackass or jack) can be crossed with a female horse to
produce a mule and a male horse crossed with a female donkey (jennet or
jenny) to produce a hinny. These crossings are almost always sterile due to
the fact that horses have 64 chromosomes and donkeys have 62, producing
offspring with 63 chromosomes.
----------------------------------------------------------------
Ass frequently mentioned throughout Scripture. Of the domesticated species
we read of,
(1.) The she ass (Heb. 'athon), so named from its slowness (Gen. 12:16;
45:23; Num. 22:23; 1 Sam. 9:3).
(2.) The male ass (Heb. hamor), the common working ass of Western Asia, so
called from its red colour. Issachar is compared to a strong ass (Gen.
49:14). It was forbidden to yoke together an ass and an ox in the plough
(Deut. 22:10).
(3.) The ass's colt (Heb. 'air), mentioned Judg. 10:4; 12:14. It is rendered
"foal" in Gen. 32:15; 49:11. (Comp. Job 11:12; Isa. 30:6.)
The ass is an unclean animal, because it does not chew the cud (Lev. 11:26.
Comp. 2 Kings 6:25).
Of wild asses two species are noticed,
(1) that called in Hebrew _'arod_, mentioned Job 39:5 and Dan. 5:21, noted
for its swiftness; and
(2) that called _pe're_, the wild ass of Asia (Job 39:6-8; 6:5; 11:12; Isa.
32:14; Jer. 2:24; 14:6, etc.).
The wild ass was distinguished for its fleetness and its extreme shyness. In
allusion to his mode of life, Ishmael is likened to a wild ass (Gen. 16:12.
Here the word is simply rendered "wild" in the Authorized Version, but in
the Revised Version, "wild-ass among men"). Source: Easton's 1897 Bible
Dictionary.
----------------------------------------------------------------
Ass The ass on which Mahomet went to heaven to learn the will of God was
called Al Borak (the lightning).
Ass, deaf to music. This tradition arose from the hideous noise made by "Sir
Balaam" in braying. Because Midas had no power to appreciate music, Apollo
gave him the ears of an ass. (See ass-eared.)
"Avarice is as deaf to the voice of virtue, as the ass to the voice of
Apollo." - orlando Furioso , xvii.
An ass in a lion's skin. A coward who hectors, a fool that apes the wise
man. The allusion is to the fable of an ass that put on a lion's hide, but
was betrayed when he began to bray.
An ass with two panniers. A man walking the streets with a lady on each arm.
This occupies the whole pavement, and is therefore bad manners well meriting
the reproach. In Italy they call such a simpleton a pitcher with two
handles, his two arms akimbo forming the two handles. In London we call it
walking bodkin , because the man is sheathed like a bodkin and powerless.
Our expression is probably a corruption of the French Faire le panier à deux
anses ("put your arms akimbo" or "make yourself a basket with two handles").
The ass waggeth his ears. This proverb is applied to those who lack
learning, and yet talk as if they were very wise; men wise in their own
conceit. The ass, proverbial for having no "taste for music," will
nevertheless wag its ears at a "concord of sweet sounds," just as if it
could well appreciate it.
Till the ass ascends the ladder - i.e. never. A rabbinical expression. The
Romans had a similar one, Cum asinus in tegulis ascenderit (when the ass
climbs to the tiles). And Buxtorf has Si ascenderit asinus per scalas.
Sell your ass. Get rid of your foolish ways.
That which thou knowest not perchance thine ass can tell thee: An allusion
to Balaam's ass.
To make an ass of oneself. To do something very foolish. To expose oneself
to ridicule.
To mount the ass (French). To become bankrupt. The allusion is to a custom
very common in the sixteenth century of mounting a bankrupt on an ass, with
his face to its tail. Thus mounted, the defaulter was made to ride through
the principal thoroughfares of the town.
Asses have ears as well as pitchers. Children, and even the densest minds,
hear and understand many a word and hint which the speaker supposed would
pass unheeded.
Asses that carry the mysteries (asinus portat mysteria). A classical knock
at the Roman clergy. The allusion is to the custom of employing asses to
carry the cista which contained the sacred symbols, when processions were
made through the streets. (Warburton: Divine Legaton, ii. 4.)
Well, well! honey is not for the ass's mouth. Persuasion will not persuade
fools. The gentlest words will not divert the anger of the unreasonable.
Wrangle for an ass's shadow. To contend about trifles. The tale told by
Demosthenes is, that a man hired an ass to take him to Megara; and at noon,
the sun being very hot, the traveller dismounted, and sat himself down in
the shadow of the ass. Just then the owner came up and claimed the right of
sitting in this shady spot, saying that he let out the ass for hire, but
there was no bargain made about the ass's shade. The two men then fell to
blows to settle the point in dispute. A passer-by told the traveller to move
on, and leave the owner of the beast to walk in the ass's shadow as long as
he thought proper.

A Brief Biography of Earl Derr Biggers
http://members.aol.com/meow103476/biobiggers.html
<<Earl Derr Biggers was known to the public as one of the foremost writers
of mystery and detective stories in this country. To his friends he was
known for his comic sense. It carried him through the solemnities of a
literary course at Harvard, class of 1907, where he recalled being told that
Fielding, Smollett and Richardson were dead and that we would never see
their like again. He preferred Rudyard Kipling and Richard Harding Davis
and, in his undergraduate days, considered Franklin P. Adams a better
story-teller than Oliver Goldsmith. When he said so to his classmates they
told each other that it was because he came from the wild and untamed
West--Warren, Ohio, where he was born in 1884. Biggers said they read Keats
to one another in the twilight at Harvard at that time, urging him to leave
the room before they began.
A professor listened to his preferences sadly and moaned,"Oh, Biggers,
Biggers, why will you be so contemporary!"
In due course he emerged from Harvard a Bachelor of Arts and immediately
went to work on The Boston Traveler, writing a humorous column, later
criticizing the drama, until 1911. By that time he had finished his first
novel, "Seven Keys To Baldpate," and had wearied of the strain of writing in
a public and frivolous manner in Boston, where the atmosphere of the best
literary traditions came in whenever he opened the window. He married Miss
Eleanor Ladd of Medford, Mass., and migrated to New York with the first
novel and also his first comedy, "If You're Only Human." When it was later
produced in stock in 1912 Mr. Biggers met George M. Cohan, and when "Seven
Keys To Baldpate" was published in 1913 Mr. Cohan bought the dramatic
rights. The play was a famous success and Cohan made a vast amount of money
with it and entered upon his most productive phase as a serious dramatist.
Mr. Biggers was hailed as the humorous find of the year. He wrote magazine
articles, stories, novels and plays, including a war play, "Inside The
Lines," which ran 500 nights in London in 1915 and 1916. He collaborated in
1917 with William Hodge on a comedy, "A Cure For Curables," in which, he
said later, cured him of being a play-wright. Line after line was changed as
the play was being prepared for production, until, as Mr. Biggers regarded
it, there was only one line of his left in its original form when it reached
the boards. "But," he said, "after careful consideration, Hodge removed
that."
After an active season in 1919, with "See-Saw," a story made into a musical
comedy for Henry W. Savage, and with a farce in collaboration with
Christopher Morley, "Three's A Crowd," Mr. Biggers decided to quit
playwriting and go to California. In Pasadena, Cal., thereafter, Mr. biggers
flourished. His skill in dealing with mystery, decorated with romance and a
comic sense in the development of action, was welcomed by magazine
publishers as well as by such motion picture producers as the Fox Film
Corporation, Warner Brothers and Radio Pictures. His reputation spread among
the public which read detective stories long before Presidents and
Ambassadors publicly declared they were addicted to them.
His most famous creation was Charlie Chan, a soft-spoken and sagacious
Chinese sleuth inhabiting hawaii, who moved through criminal mysteries
throughout the world, gently murmuring aphorisms supplied by Mr. Biggers and
collected by Charlie Chan's followers from picture to picture and novel to
novel:
"Only VERy brave MOUSE makes nest in cat's ear."
"Not yet--PATIENCE and MULBERRY leaf make silk shawl."
"EVERy man must WEAR out at least one pair of FOOLS shoes."
"Careless shepherd make excellent dinner for wolf."
"This is unexpected...like squirt from aggressive grapefruit."
"Do not wave stick when trying to catch dog."
----------------------------------------------------------------
Charlie Chan was created by writer Earl Derr Biggers and was based in part
on the experiences of a genuine Chinese detective in Honolulu named Chang
Apana. Biggers read in the newspaper about Apana while vacationing in
Honolulu in 1919. Six years later he developed the character of Charlie Chan
for his novel "The House Without A Key" (1925). He wrote six Charlie Chan
novels, all of moderate popularity. All were adapted to the cinema, except
for the last book "Keeper Of The Keys" (1932). The real popularity of the
books came after Earl Derr Biggers' death in 1933 at the age of 48. It was
at this time that the movie series began to gain wide popularity. The novels
were all used for the films, up until "Charlie Chan In London" (1934). The
Chan of the novels is described as "very fat indeed," and his sayings are
often more acid in tone. There is no father/son byplay either. His assistant
is a Japanese named Kashimo, who is far more disruptive than any of the
offspring in the films. Perhaps the best of the novels is "Behind That
Curtain" (1929). The plot is set in San Francisco, with Chan helping to
solve the murder of an old friend Sir Frederic Bruce. In this book, the Chan
of the novels and the Chan of the films seem the closest. Chan is also in
the book throughout. (Some of the other novels have Chan turn up in the
book's second half). This plot is one of the most engaging, rivalled only by
"The Black Camel" (1931).
The first Charlie Chan novel of Earl Derr Biggers, shows signs of the
Realist school of detective fiction. It has a policeman as its detective
hero. It has a well described background of Hawaii. It also explores San
Francisco in one section. The plot ultimately hinges on one staple, the
alibi. And it follows realist tradition by sympathetically including a
character of a minority race, the Chinese detective Charlie Chan. Chan is
depicted as a person of high intelligence, ability, and moral character, who
is uniformly respected by everyone in society around him. Earl Derr Biggers
explicitly created his hero Chan as a reply to the racist Yellow Peril
stories that were so popular of that era. After years of cliched movie
adaptations, Charlie Chan is now frequently considered stereotypical. It
seems inaccurate and unjust to judge his original book by later film
versions.
A few mystery authors have complained about Earl Derr Biggers' mechanical
plot construction with numerous sub plots arbitrarily sewn together, The
House Without A Key (1925). The best parts of the book are not the mystery
plot or investigation, but the events leading up to the murder. Similarly,
the best parts of The Chinese Parrot (1927) are the first three chapters. In
both novels, these opening sections contain the most important parts of the
background, and well done elements of intrigue and adventure.
The murder victim in Behind That Curtain (1929) leaves behind a non-verbal,
symbolic clue that serves as a Dying Message. This convention would soon be
used by Ellery Queen in numerous stories. Earl Derr Biggers' may have been
the first to use this device.

I will not ask whether English is your native tongue, Art, as you
have pretty conclusively demonstrated that it cannot be. In particular,
I am sure that Harold Bloom knows the difference between "levitation"
and "leviation," which endows him with a decisive advantage oVER a
functional illiterate like amorondaf...@comicass.nut; in
particular, I VERy much doubt that he wrote the above as you have quoted
it, Art -- this is evidently another of your copious Bloomers.

I wouldn't mention Sterling Professors of Humanities at Yale if I
were you, Art; it's poor salesmanship. Your readers are apt to recall
your moronic gaffe concerning Peter Gay, another Sterling Professor at
Yale.

But Art -- you're already on at least your 200th pair!
But Art -- "baldpate" is the common name of the American Wigeon,
_Anas americana_. Come to think of it, "An ass Americana" is a good
cognomen for you, Art.

"Too many letters"?! What on earth are you talking about, Art? An
anagram contains *exactly* as many letters as its source text -- no more
and no fewer. Only a farcically incompetent anagrammatist (a cretin
like amorondaf...@comicass.nut, for example) is compelled to rely
upon cheating by omitting or adding extra letters to the stock supplied
by the source text.
art
> "Too many letters"?!
Quite right; I meant, of course, too many words.
A quality anagram should should have as few words as possible.
