The History of Harps
http://www.harps.com/history_expanded.html
<<Legend has it that the Jews refused to play the harp
when they were exiled in Babylon. Instead the Harp of David
was hung upon the WILLOW trees. The harp of the Temple was
forever silenced and disappeared. Ancient Talmudic prophesy
says that harps will USHER in the coming of the Messiah.
The classic Greek lyre harps were called "Kithara"
which was a term used for describing all kinds of harps
and lyres. The modern word "guitar" came from the word Kithara.
According to Greek mythology, HERMES created the harp lyre from the
body of a large tortoise shell, which he covered with animal hide;
antelope
horns formed the posts. So beautiful was the tone that he presented the
instrument as an offering to the God Apollo. The lyre harp became
regarded as the instrument of Apollo, the god of music and harmony.
Lyres came to be associated with the higher Apollonian virtues of
wisdom, serenity, clarity, moderation and communication. In contrast,
the music of the Dionysians was performed on raucous reed instruments
with wild abandon. Greek mythology portrays ORPHEUS, the divine harp
lyre player, who charmed the Lord of the Underworld Pluto in order to
bring back his wife from the dead. Orpeus played this lyre harp to
inspire Jason and the Argonauts on their quest for the Golden Fleece.
It was ORPHEUS' melodies that blocked out the brainwashing
sirens intent on inciting listeners to their destruction.>>

USHER, n. [OE. ussher, uschere, OF. ussier, uisser, oissier, hussier,
huissier, fr. L. ostiarius a doorkeeper, fr. ostium a door, entrance,
fr. os mouth.] 1. An officer or servant who has the care of the door of
a court, hall, chamber, or the like; hence, an officer whose business
it is to introduce strangers, or to walk before a person of rank.
"The USHERs and the squires." --Chaucer.
"These are the USHERs of Marcius." --Shak.
2. An under teacher, or assistant master, in a school:

<<Thomas Carlyle was born at Ecclefechan in the south of Scotland,
December 4, 1795. His father, a rigorous Calvinist belonging to the
seceding "Burgher Kirk," was a STONE-MASON, a man of stern & upright
character with a gift of fiery speech. Thomas began his education at
home, went next to the village school, thence to the grammar school
at Annan, and in 1809 walked to Edinburgh, a hundred miles away,
and entered the University with a view to preparing for the ministry.
He was appointed mathematical USHER at Annan. But he hated teaching:

James USSHER (1581-1656), 'NE VILE VELIS'
Archbishop of Armagh and Primate of All Ireland
http://www.daveola.com/Pages/World_Birthday_Party/Ussher.html
<<Barr (1985) has noted that the belief that Herod died in 4 BC
was widely known after Scaliger's work appeared in 1583, that Bishop
USSHER's date for the creation in 4004 BC was calculated as exactly
4,000 years before that date, and that his chronology was printed
in Bibles after 1701.>>
<<[Archbishop James] USSHER worked within a substantial tradition of
research, a large community of intellectuals striving toward a common goal
under an accepted methodology. Today we rightly reject a cardinal premise
of that methodology - belief in biblical inerrancy. But what intellectual
phenomenon can be older, or more oft repeated, that the story of a large
research program that impaled itself upon a false central assumption
accepted by all practitioners?>> - Stephen Jay Gould

"a play on the word VINCI, one meaning of which is WILLOW"
------------------------------------------------------------------------
http://www.lairweb.org.nz/leonardo/willow.html
<<Leonardo was responsible for the decoration of the ceiling & vault of
the Sala delle Asse (translation: 'room of the tower' or 'room of the wooden
boards') in Sforza's castle, Milan. He was presented with this room for his
own use; access being gained via a bridge & arcade he built over the moat.
Painted between 1495--1497, the fresco is made up of eighteen WILLOW trees,
two of which skillfully encircle two windows in the room . Where the boughs
meet towards the ceiling they intertwine, thought to be a symbol of the
marriage of Ludovico, Duke of Milan with BEATRICE d'Este. Emblazoned
throughout the branches is a fantastic golden rope made up of assorted
loops & knots. Appearing to be several ropes, if it is followed the viewer
discovers it is actually just the one cord which folds back on itself,
twisting and turning throughout the entire pattern. Gold rope was a
fashionable symbol of the day and appeared knotted on the clothing
of BEATRICE d'Este. Included in the work is the coat of arms of
the Sforza family (falcons & serpents) which is painted in
the very centre of the ceiling where the tree branches meet.
Much of the work on the 2,880 square foot canopy was carried out by
Leonardo's pupils, but he did the design and this is a play on the word
VINCI, one meaning of which is WILLOW. The search for any other
hidden significance among the designs still continues. The hall was
then used as a barracks and the paint deteriorated & flaked away.>>
----------------------------------------------------------------------
The Sidhé was a transcendent intellect, known to the Druids as the
Web of the Wise, while "druid" (druidhe) was itself a Celtic word
for "witch" - an English form of the Saxon verb wicca, meaning
"to bend" or "to yield" (as indeed do WILLOW and wicker).>>

Brigit as Triple Goddess, especially the Yellow-Green Enchantress
http://www.artesmagicae.com/TripleBrigit.htm
<<As patroness of cattle and fertility,
Brigit is clearly equated with Tara-Anna-Eithne, the Rorian
tradition's Abbess, Diviner, and healer of the springtime,
whose trees are WILLOW & furze,
whose animal is the cow or BULL,
and whose bird is the CRANE.>>

The fruits of WILLOWs & poplars are small capsules containing numerous
seeds, each of which has cottonlike threads that act as parachutes,
aiding in wind dispersal. If the seeds land on proper, moist soil, they
germinate within one or two days. Most WILLOWs & poplars grow rapidly,
reaching flowering age within a few years, but they are short-lived,
some lasting only 20 years.
The economic importance of the family varies. Twigs of the common *OSIER*
are grown for use in basketmaking, and the light but dent-resistant wood
of other WILLOWs is used for artificial limbs, wooden shoes & cricket bats.
WILLOW bark contains the active compound salicin, used in many
folk medicines. Aspirin is a derivative of salicylic acid, which was first
synthesized from derivatives of WILLOW bark. Several WILLOWs, such
as weeping WILLOW & pussyWILLOW, are of horticultural importance.
The WILLOW genus is Salix, and the poplar genus is Populus.
The common *OSIER* is classified as Salix viminalis,
the weeping WILLOW as Salix BABYLONICA,
and the pussyWILLOW as Salix discolor.
------------------------------------------------------------------------
*OSIER*, n. [F. OSIER: cf. {Prov}. F. oISIS, Armor. ozil, aozil,
Gr. ?, L. vitex, and E. withy.] One of the long,
pliable twigs of A kind of WILLOW ({Salix viminalis})
growing in wet places in Europe and Asia.
"The rank of *OSIERS* by the murmuring stream." --Shak.
<<didn't you spot her in her windaug, wubbling up on an OSIERy chair,
with a meusic before her all cunniform letters, pretending to ribble a REEDY
derg on a fiddle she bogans without a band on? Sure she can't fiddan a dee,

<<All focussed their attention on the scene exhibited, a group of savage
women in striped loincloths, squatted, blinking, suckling, frowning,
sleeping, amid a swarm of infants (there must have been quite a score
of them) outside some primitive shanties of osier.>> - Ulysses
<<And for ages men had gazed upward as he was gazing at birds in flight.
The colonnade above him made him think vaguely of an ancient temple and
the ashplant on which he leaned wearily of the curved stick of an augur. A
sense of fear of the unknown moved in the heart of his weariness, a fear of
symbols and portents, of the hawk-like man whose name he bore soaring
out of his captivity on OSIER-woven wings, of Thoth, the god of writers,
writing with a reed upon a tablet and bearing on his narrow ibis head
the cusped moon.>> - Portrait of the Artist

Metamorphoses By Ovid
Translated by Sir Samuel Garth, John Dryden, et al
The Peasants of Lycia transform'd to Frogs
Hence too she fled the furious stepdame's pow'r,
And in her arms a double godhead bore;
And now the borders of fair Lycia gain'd,
Just when the summer solstice parch'd the land.
With thirst the Goddess languishing, no more
Her empty'd breast would yield its milky store;
When, from below, the smiling valley show'd
A silver lake that in its bottom flow'd:
A sort of clowns were reaping, near the bank,
The bending *OSIER*, and the bullrush dank;
The cresse, and water-lilly, fragrant weed,
Whose juicy stalk the liquid fountains feed.
The Goddess came, and kneeling on the brink,
Stoop'd at the fresh repast, prepar'd to drink.

Golding (The incantation of Medea, 7.265-72):
http://english.sxu.edu/boyer/201_rdg_qsts/tmp_pel201_qst.htm
Ye airs and winds, ye elves of hills, of brooks,
of woods alone, Of standing lakes,
. . . and of the night, approach ye everychone!
Through help of whom, the crooked banks much wondering at the thing,
I have compelled streams to run clean back ward to their spring.
By charms I make the calm seas rough and make the rough seas plain,
And cover all the sky with clouds and chase them thence again.
By charms I raise and lay the winds, and burst the viper's jaw,
And from the bowels of the earth both stones and trees do draw,
Whole woods and FORESTS I REMOVE; I make the mountains SHAKE,
And even the earth itself to groan and fearfully to quake.
I call up dead men from their GRAVES; and thee, O lightsome Moon,
I darken oft, though beaten brass abate thy peril soon.
Our sorcery DIMS the morning fair and darks the SUN AT NOON.
-------------------------------------------------------------
Shakespeare (Prospero's surrender of his art, 5.1.33-44):
PROSPERO Ye elves of hills, brooks, standing lakes and groves,
And ye that on the sands with PRINTLESS FOOT
Do chase the ebbing Neptune and do fly him
When he comes back; you demi-puppets that
By moonshine do the green sour ringlets make,
Whereof the ewe not bites, and you whose pastime
Is to make midnight mushrooms, that rejoice
To hear the solemn curfew; by whose aid,
Weak masters though ye be, I HAVE BEDIMM'd
THE NOONTIDE SUN, call'd forth the mutinous winds,
And 'twixt the GREEN sea and the AZURED vault
Set roaring war: to the dread rattling thunder
Have I given fire and rifted JOVE's stout oak
With his own bolt; the strong-based promontory
Have I made SHAKE and by the spurs PLUCK'd UP
THE PINE and CEDAR: GRAVES at my command
Have waked their sleepers, oped, and let 'em forth
By my so potent art.

From' Comus': _SABRINA_ by JOHN MILTON (1608-1674)
By the rushy fringed bank,
Where grows the WILLOW and the *OSIER* dank,
My sliding Chariot stayes,
Thick set with Agat, and the AZURN SHEEN
Of TURKis blew, and Emrauld GREEN
That in the channell strayes,
Whilst from off the waters fleet
Thus I set my PRINTLESS FEET
O're the Cowslips Velvet head,
That bends NOT as I tread,
Gentle SWAIN at thy request
I am here.

ARETE (aeireite) = "EVER-FLOWING"
-----------------------------------------------------------------
TIMAEUS by Plato
<<Tell us, said the other, the whole story, and how
and from whom Solon heard this VERitable tradition.
He replied: In the Egyptian Delta, at the head of which the river NILE
divides, there is a certain district called the district of SAIS,
and the great city of the district is also called SAIS, and is the city
from which King AMASIS came. . . And they did in fact at that time
create a VERy great and mighty movement; uniting with the EVER-FLOWING
stream in stirring up and violently SHAKING the courses of the soul,>>
----------------------------------------------------------------------
<<[SOCRATES to Hermogenes]: ARETE [signifies] ease of motion,
that the stream of the good soul is unimpeded, and has
therefore the attribute of EVER FLOWING without let or hindrance,
and is therefore called ARETE, or, more correctly, aeireite
(EVER-FLOWING), and may perhaps have had another form, airete
(eligible), indicating that nothing is more eligible than virtue,
and this has been hammered into ARETE.>> - Plato (CRATYLUS)

John Keats, The roof of awful richness From "Lamia"
OFT went the music the soft air along,
While fluent Greek a vowel'd undersong
Kept up among the guests, discoursing low
At first, for scarcely was the wine at FLOW;
But when the happy vintage touch'd their brains,
Louder they talk, and louder come the strains
Of powerful instruments:- the gorgeous dyes,
The space, the splendour of the draperies,
The roof of awful richness, nectarous cheer,
Beautiful slaves, and Lamia's self, appear,
Now, when the wine has done its rosy deed,
And every soul from human trammels freed,
No more so STRANGE; for merry wine, SWEET wine,
Will make Elysian shades not too fair, too divine.
Soon was God Bacchus AT MERIDIAN HEIGHT;
Flush'd were their CHEEKS, and bright eyes double bright:
GARLANDS of EVERy GREEN, and every scent
From vales deflower'd, or forest-trees branch-rent,
In baskets of bright OSIER'd gold were brought
High as the handles heap'd, to suit the thought
Of every guest; that each, as he did please,
Might fancy-fit his brows, SILK-pillow'd at his ease.
