The Second Part : The History of the
Valorous & Witty Knight-Errant Don Quixote of the Mancha
By Miguel de Cervantes, Translated by Thomas Shelton
CHAPTER LXXIII: Of the Presages and Forebodings which happened
to Don Quixote at the Entrance into his Village, with other
Adventures, which serve for Grace and Ornament unto this
Famous History, and which give Credit unto it
Don Quixote, without longer delay, at that very instant drew the
bachelor and the curate aside, and in few words related his being
defeated unto them, and the vow which he had been forced to make, not
to go out of his village during the space of one whole year; how his
purpose was fully to keep the same, without transgressing it in one
jot or *ATOM* ; since that by the rules of knight-errantry, and as
he was a true knight-errant, he was strictly obliged to perform it;
which was the reason that he had resolved, during the time of that
year, to become a shepherd, and entertain himself among the deserts
and solitary places of that country, where he might freely vent out
and give scope unto his amorous passions by exercising himself in
commendable and virtuous pastoral exercises; and now besought them,
if they had no greater affairs in hand, and were not employed in
matters of more importance, they would both be pleased to become
his companions and fellow-shepherds; for he would buy store of
sheep, and get so sufficient a flock together as they might
well take upon them the name of shepherds.

Rosemary's Baby (1968)
Rosemary is handed a book from one of Hutch's friends, Grace Cardiff
(Hanna Landy): "Hutch regained consciousness at the end and he thought
it was the next morning. You know, when you had the appointment...
I wasn't there but he told the doctor to make sure that you got
the book that was on his desk." As she departs, she quickly adds:
Grace: Oh, and I'm to tell you. The name is an anagram.
Rosemary: (confused) The name of the book?
Grace: Apparently. He was delirious, so it's hard to be sure.
Back at her apartment, before Rosemary can even open the
brown-paper-wrapped, unmailed book/package from Hutch, Minnie delivers
the daily concoction and asks to hold the parcel, mentioning that she
knows Grace's return-address location: "Oh, I know that house. The
Gilmore's used to live there...I've been there lots of times. Grace -
that's one of my favorite names." After a suspenseful few moments with
Minnie, Rosemary finds privacy to slit open the twine-tied package.
The book is titled All of Them Witches, with chapters on the practices
of various witches including THOMAS COLLEY and PRUDENCE DUVERNOY.
One section of the book is underlined - it regards the discovery
made by Hutch about the *TANIS-root* :
In their rituals, they often use the fungus called Devil's Pepper.
This is a spongy matter derived from swampy regions having a strong
pungent odor. Devil's Pepper is considered to have special powers.
It has been used in rituals and worn on charms.
Another chapter is about ADRIAN MARCATO: "Born in Glasgow in 1846, he
was soon after brought to New York. He resided for several years in
the United States but spent a great deal of time on the Continent...
He was educated in England and during the course of his studies, he
became interested in Black Magic. Soon, he left England and devoted
himself completely to Satanism. The peak of his popularity was in
1899 when he claimed to have called forth Satan and was attacked
by a mob outside the Bramford..." A dog-eared page illustrates a
picture of Marcato with his wife and thirteen-year old son Steven
(underlined twice). Rosemary contemplates the truth of it all:
"There are no witches, not really....The name is an anagram."
She retrieves a Scrabble board game
and uses the game letters to spell out
*ALL OF THEM WITCHES*, arranging them into:
*COMES WITH THE FALL* and
*ELF SHOT LAME WITCH* .
Suddenly, she opens the book & sees the word Steven underlined.
She spells out STEVEN MARCATO and gradually figures out
that an anagram-repositioning spells ROMAN CASTEVET
- the son of Adrian Marcato. >>

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tanis
<< *TANIS* , the Greek name of Djanet, a city in the north-
eastern *NILE* delta of Egypt. Tanis was founded in the late 20th
Dynasty, and became the northern capital of Egypt during the following
21st Dynasty. It was the home city of Smendes, founder of the 21st
dynasty. During the 22nd Dynasty Tanis remained as Egypt's political
capital (though there were sometimes rival dynasties located
elsewhere in Upper Egypt). It was an important commercial and
strategic city until it was threatened with inundation by Lake
Manzala in the 6th century AD, when it was finally abandoned.
The refugees founded the nearby city of *TENNIS* .

There are ruins of a number of temples, including the
chief temple dedicated to Amun, and a very important royal
necropolis of the Third Intermediate Period (which contains the
only known intact royal Pharaonic burials — the tomb of Tutankhamun
having been entered in antiquity). Many of the stones used to build
the various temples at Tanis came from the old Ramesside town of
Qantir. The chief deities of Tanis were Amun, his consort, Mut,
and their child Khonsu, forming the Tanite triad. This triad was,
however, identical to that of Thebes, leading many scholars to
speak of Tanis as the "northern Thebes". In the film Raiders
of the Lost Ark, Tanis was said to be the resting place of
the Ark of the Covenant which was hidden in a secret chamber.>>

http://www.1911encyclopedia.org/Tanistry
<<[TANIS]TRY (from Gaelic tana, lordship), a custom among various
Celtic tribes, by which the king or chief of the clan was chosen from
among the heads of the septs and elected by them in full assembly. He
held office for life and was required by custom to be of full age, in
possession of all his faculties and without any remarkable blemish of
mind or body. At the same time, and subject to the same conditions, a
[TANIS]T or next heir to the chieftaincy was elected, who if the king
died or became disqualified, at once became king. Usually the king's
son became [TANIS]T, but not because the system of primogeniture was
in any way recognized; indeed, the only principle adopted was that the
dignity of chieftainship should descend to the eldest and most worthy
of the same blood. [TANIS]TRY was abolished by a legal decision in
the reign of James I. and the English land system substituted.>>

Why write I still all one,EUER the fame,
And keepe inuention in a noted weed,

Shewing their birth,and where they did proceed?
O know sweet loue I alwaies write of you,

Spending againe what is already spent:
For as the Sun is daily new and old,
So is my loue still telling what is told, 14

Ben Alexander wrote: In Sonnet 76 at line 7 we have
"That EUERy word *DOTH* almost *FEL* my name,"
Commentators are almost universally agreed that 'FEL' should read
'tell'. I say 'almost', because the collation of Colin Burrow's
Oxford "Complete Sonnets and Poems" (Complete Poems and Sonnets,
Sonnets and Complete Poems?) reveals that Bernard Lintot in 1709,
1711 suggested 'FELL', and then adds: "sell conj. This edition."

> Ben Alexander asks what does Sonnet 76 mean at line 7:
> "That EUERy word *DOTH* almost *FEL* my name,"
Why does everybody seem to believe that's "tell"?
In the online 1609 facsimile at
http://www.shu.ac.uk/emls/Sonnets/e4v.jpg
it looks pretty clearly to me to be "sel my name". "Sell" doesn't make
much sense to me there, but from the four-line sentence in which it is
embedded, I would guess that's a typo that was meant to read:
Why write I still all one, ever the same
And keep invention in a noted weed
That every word *DOTH* almost spel my name,
Shewing their birth, and where they did proceed?
I think that's a better fit than "tell".
Of course, I have no way to support my supposition except to say that
"spell" there just seems more Shakespearean to me than "tell", I guess
because "spell" is a verb more intimately involved with the act of
writing, the purported subject of the poem so far, than "tell". In
literal terms, I think "every word" has to be busier and cleverer
to somehow "spell" the poet's name than simply to "tell" it.
Also, I don't think WS wants the connotation of counting here, which
"tell" brings with it. And I suppose (without being able to say why) a
compositor's dropped-letter typo would be more likely than a
substituted-letter typo. Now, if the error originated with WS or a
scrivener rather than in the printshop, I think a dropped "p" hugely
more likely than the erroneous substitution of an "s" for a "t".
On the other hand, Benjamin Franklin, in his autobiography, says that
when he was a printer's apprentice it was his job to fetch drink for
the printers, that they said because it was heavy work for strong men
they needed strong drink. I suppose it's miraculous that anything they
printed ever made sense. And, of course, the t's and s's would have
been right next to each other in the tray, so any sweaty compositor
with his thirst well-quenched could easily have set an s for a t.
