TRUE! nervous, *VERY*, *VERY* dreadfully nervous I had been and am;
but why WILL you say that I a[M] mad? The disease had sharpened my
senses, not destroyed, not dulled them. Above [A]ll was the sense of
hearing acute. I heard all things in the heaven and in the ea[R]th.
I heard many things in hell. How then am I mad? Hearken! and observe
how health[I]ly, how calmly, I can tell you the whole story.
It is impossible to say how first t[H]e idea entered my brain,
but, once conceived, it haunted me day and night.
Object there was none. Passion there was none. I loved the old man. He
had *NEVER wronged me* . He had *NEVER* given me insult. For his gold
I had no desire. I think it was his eye! Yes, it was this! One of his
eyes resembled that of a vulture -- a pale blue eye with a film OVER
it. WhenEVER it fell upon me my blood ran cold, and so by degrees,
*VERY* gradually, I made up my mind to take the life of
the old man, and thus rid myself of the eye for *EVER*.

The Secret Word of the Freemasons:
http://www.in5d.com/thoth-viii.html
<<Not to be confused with the password. The Word (always capitalized)
is so secret that initiates are taught it one letter at a time.
First they learn A, then O, then M, and finally I. The Word is *IAOM*
You never get a straight story as to what it means. As best as
anyone can figure, it is the ineffable name of god, or some
approximation thereof. The Word (or Name) is a tongue-twister.
It takes some practice to get it right. The following
pronunciation guide is from Masonry and Its Symbols in the
Light of Thinking and Destiny by Harold Waldwin Percival:
The Name is pronounced as follows: It is started by opening the lips
with an "ee" sound graduating into a broad "a" as the mouth opens
wider with lips forming an oval shape and then graduating the sound to
"o" as the lips form a circle, and again modulating to an "m" sound as
the lips close to a point. This point resolves itself to a point
within the head. Expressed phonetically the Name is "EE-Ah-Oh-Mmm" and
is pronounced with one continuous out-breathing with a slight nasal
tone in the manner described above. It can be correctly and properly
expressed with its full power only by one who has brought his physical
body to a state of perfection... Note: this "word" or letter sequences
is VERY similar if not identical to the ones contained in prayers
of the Gnostics in the Nag Hamadi Library recovered from the sands
of Egypt in 1945 (not to be confused with the Dead Sea Scrolls
recovered from the sands of Judea in 1947).>>

[O] cautiously -- cautiou
[S]ly (for the hinges cre <= 18 =>
[A]ked), I undid it just so
[M]uch that a single thi
n ray fell upon the vulture eye. And this I did for seven long nights,
*EVERY* night just at midnight, but I found the eye always closed, and
so it was impossible to do the work, for it was not the old man who
vexed me but his Evil Eye. And *EVERY* morning, when the day broke,
I went boldly into the chamber and spoke courageously to him, calling
him by name in a hearty tone, and inquiring how he had passed the
night. So you see he would have been a very profound old man,
indeed, to suspect that *EVERY* night, just at twelve,
I looked in upon him while he slept.
..................................
Yes, he was *STONE, STONE* dead. I placed
[M]y hand upon the heart and held it there m
[A]ny minutes. There was no pulsation. He was
[S]tone dead. His eye would trouble me no m <= 33 =>

recautions I took for the concealment of the body.

A Journey into the Interior of the Earth (1877) Ward, Lock,
& Co., Ltd., translated by {F}rederick {A}madeus {MA}lle{SON}
Forty-eight hours were left before our departure;
to my great regret I had to employ
the[M] in prep[A]ration[S]; for all [O]ur inge[N]uity wa[S]
required to pack *EVERY* article to the best advantage;
instruments here, arms there, tools in this package,
provisions in that: four sets of packages in all.
[M]y h[A]ir [S]to[O]d o[N] end with terror. The bewildering feeling
of vacuity laid hold upon me. I felt my centre of gravity shifting
its place, and giddiness mounting into my brain like drunkenness.
(Here my notes become vague and indistinct. I have only been able
to find a few which I seem to have jotted down almost unconsciously.
But their VERy brevity and their obscurity reveal the intensity of
the excitement which dominated me, and describe the actual
posit[I]on e[V]en b[E]tte[R] tha[N] my m[E]mory could do.)
-----------------------------------------------------
Journey to the Centre of the Earth (1871) Griffith & Farran
[M]y h[A]ir [S]to[O]d o[N] end, my teeth chattered, my limbs
trembled. I seemed utterly to lose my center of gravity, while
my head was in a sort of whirl, like that of a drunken man.
Suddenly the Ichthyosaurus and the Plesiosaurus
disappeared beneath the waves, leaving behind
the[M] a m[A]el[S]tr[O]m i[N] the midst of the sea.
Our traveler's box of [M]edic[A]ment[S] had n[O]t eve[N] been opened.
This man appeared to be possessed of VERy great strength.
His eyes, which started rather prominently from a VERy large
head, the face belonging to which was simple and naive,
appeared VERy quick and intelligent. VERy long hair,
which even in England would have been accounted
exc[E]edi[N]gly [R]ed, f[E]ll o[V]er h[I]s athletic shoulders.

The 1871 English language edition [Journey to the Centre of the Earth]
published by Griffith and Farran (named Journey to the Centre of the
Earth at Project Gutenberg) is an abridged and altered translation.
It changes the Professor's name to Hardwigg, Axel's name to Harry (or
Henry) Lawson, and Grauben's name to Gretchen. It omits some chapters,
and rewrites portions of and adds portions to others. The Redactor's
note by Norm Wolcott, at Project Gutenberg, claims that this
translation is the most popularly reprinted one, despite the flaws.
The 1877 translation [A Journey into the Interior of the Earth] by
Ward, Lock, & Co., Ltd., translated by {F}rederick {A}madeus {MA}

<<Sidereus *Nuncius* ( *Starry Messenger* ) is a short treatise
published by Galileo in March 1610. It's the first scientific
treatise based on observations made through a telescope. It
contains the results of Galileo's early observations of the Moon
and the stars. In the last portion of Sidereus Nuncius, Galileo
reported his discovery of four objects that appeared to form a
straight line of stars near Jupiter. From the fact that they
changed their relative positions from night to night, but always
appeared in the same straight line near Jupiter, he deduced
that they were four bodies in orbit around Jupiter. Galileo
dedicated Sidereus Nuncius to Cosimo II de' Medici, 4th Grand
Duke of Tuscany, and he named the four moons of Jupiter
he had discovered the "Medicean stars".>>

4 David was thirty years old when he began to reign:
_____ and he reigned forty years.
5-11 In Hebron he reigned over Judah *seven years, and six months* :
and in Jerusalem he reigned *thirty and three* years over all Israel
and Judah. The King also and his men went to Jerusalem unto the
Jebusites, the inhabitants of the land: who spake unto David, saying,
Except thou take away *the blind and the LAME* , thou shalt not come
in hither: thinking that David could not come thither. But David took
the fort of Zion: this is the city of David. Now David had said the
same day, Whosoever smiteth the Jebusites, and getteth up to the
gutters and smiteth *the LAME and blind* , which David’s soul hateth,
I will prefer him: therefore they said, The *blind and the LAME* shall
not come into that house. So David dwelt in that fort, and called it
the city of David, and David built round about it, from Millo, and
inward. And David prospered and grew: for the Lord God of hosts was
with him. *HIRAM* also king of *TYRE* sent *MESSENGERS* to David,
and cedar trees, and carpenters, and *MASONS* for walls:
and they built David an house.>>

http://www.fbrt.org.uk/pages/essays/essay-alban.html
<<The story goes that when Carausius revolted from the Roman Emperor
Maximilian & set himself up as the Emperor of Britain, he employed
St. Alban to environ the city of Verulam with a wall & to build for
him a splendid palace. To reward his diligence in executing these
works, the Emperor Carausius appointed St. Alban as *STEWARD* of his
household and chief ruler, after himself, of the realm. He also made
St. Alban the paymaster & Governor of the King’s (Emperor’s) works.
Then, in order to make himself & his government acceptable to the
people of Britain, Carausius assumed the character of a *MASON* and
raised the *MASONS* to the first rank as his favourites, appointing
St. Alban as the Principal Superintendent of their assemblies. St.
Alban gave the fraternity the Charges & Manners as St. Amphibal had
taught him (i.e. framed for them a constitution), assisted them in
making *MASONS*, treated them with great kindness & increased their
pay. Later on, in the year AD 287, Carausius granted the *MASONS* a
charter and commanded Albanus to preside over them as Grand Master.
According to the *MASONIC* record, which until recently has been
largely accepted as historically accurate, St. Alban was martyred
in the year 303AD. Modern scholarship, however, has shown that
the historical St. Alban was martyred on 22nd June 209 by Geta,
eldest son of the Emperor Severus, when they visited Britain.
It is also clear that Amphibalus is a personification of the
ecclesiastical *CLOAK* , amphibalum, which St. Alban donned
(just as St. Veronica is a personification of Christ’s true
image imprinted on the handkerchief which covered his face).
However, Sir Francis Bacon was a knight and he was also St. Alban
—Viscount St. Alban, who wore the *CLOAK* or ‘vestment’ (amphibalum)
of St. Alban. He served a King, James *STEWART* of Scotland, who
was the first to bear the title of Emperor of Great Britain. Lord
St. Alban was his faithful *STEWARD* & proxy chief ruler of the
realm. King James did support the *MASONS* in the manner described,
and it was in his reign that *FreeMASONry* became established
(or revived) in Britain. The ‘palace’ which St. Alban (Bacon)
built for him was a TEMPLE of learning, a TEMPLE of light,
constructed by Bacon’s ‘fraternity in learning & illumination’:-

The Maryland State Flag
http://www.netstate.com/states/symb/flags/md_flag.htm
.
<<Officially adopted by law in 1904, the Maryland State Flag is the
only state flag based on heraldic emblems. The design of the flag
is taken from the shield in the coat of arms of the Calvert family,
the colonial proprietors of the state of Maryland.
The coat of arms adopted by George Calvert,
the first Lord Baltimore, included a shield that combined the
yellow & black colors of his paternal family and the red & white
colors of his maternal family, the Crosslands. (NOTE: There is
contention that the red and white colors identified as that of
the Crosslands is a misrepresentation. It is said that the colors
are those of the Mynne family, the family name of Anne Calvert,
wife of George Calvert.)
.
The arms of the Calvert and Crosslands(Mynne) families are
displayed in diagonally opposing quadrants of the flag.
.
From the colonial period, before the revolution,
the only mention of a Maryland flag describes it
as a display of the yellow and black Calvert family colors.
After the revolution, the use of the Calvert flag was discontinued
and various flags and banners were flown to represent the state.
Though no official state flag was designated, the most popular
representation seems to have been that of the state seal on
a blue background. Evidence shows that these flags
were flown in the state until the late 1890's.
.
In 1854, a law was passed to create a new state seal based on the
Calvert family colors and design. Yellow and black banners & flags
started re-appearing across the state. These "Baltimore colors"
or "Maryland colors", as they were called, were not officially
adopted by the state but became very popular and
a unique symbol of the state of Maryland.
.
After the election of Abraham Lincoln it 1861, Maryland, like many
other states found itself torn between its allegience to the Union
and its sympathies with the southern states. Maryland, however,
did remained in the Union.
.
It is thought that during this volatile time in the history
of Maryland, the red & white Crossland colors began to gain
popularity among the southern sympathizers in the state.
As a symbol of resistence to the Union and President Lincoln,
the red an white Crossland colors became the Maryland
"secession colors" and were reproduced in banners and even
children's clothing. During the Civil War itself, the Crossland
colors in the cross bottony shape were used by Confederate
soldiers to identify their birthplace.
The Civil War finally came to an end and the yellow & black
Calvert colors and the red and white Crossland colors had
become clearly representative of the state of Maryland. As
soldiers returned to their home, a slow process of healing
& reconciliation began for the people of war-torn Maryland.
.
A new symbol begain to emerge, displayed at public events across the
state. A flag displaying the colors, that had once symbolized the
divisions between the citizens of Maryland, came to represent the
reconciliation and reunion of all of the citizens in the state.
The designer and the date of origin of the current state flag
incorporating four quadrants alternating between the yellow &
black of the Calvert arms and the red & white of the Crossland
arms is unknown. The design derived from the Calvert coat
of arms was flown October 11, 1880, in Baltimore, at a parade
celebrating the 150th anniversery of the founding of the city.
It was also flown October 25, 1888 at the Gettysburg
battlefield, in a ceremony dedicating monuments to members
of the Maryland regiments of the Army of the Potomac.
.
In October 1889, the Fifth Regiment, Maryland National Guard, adopted
a flag in this form as its regimental color and became the first
organization to adopt officially what is today the Maryland flag.>>

<<John Speed died on July 28th, 1629, and was buried
in the Church of *St GILES* , in Cripplegate.
A monument was erected to him in the church,
comprising a bust, flanked by two stone doors,
with inscriptions. The doors were destroyed by bombing in
the 2nd World War, but the bust, although damaged, survived.
Fortunately, an engraving, from John Thomas Smith's Antiquities
of London (1791), depicts the monument & inscriptions.>>

July 28: Feast day of St *SAMSON* of Dol
(Sampson of York), bishop and confessor
.
<<St *SAMSON* of Dol (c. 490 - c. 565), regarded by many as one of the
greatest Welsh saints, was a Christian religious figure who is counted
among the seven founder saints of Brittany, with Ss Pol Aurelian,
Tudwal, Brieuc, Malo, Patern, and Corentin. He was born in southern
Wales to the Welsh nobility (the son of Amon of Dyfed and Anna of
Gwent); as part of a prophecy concerning his birth, his parents placed
him under the care of the abbot of Llantwit, St Illtyd (putatively a
cousin of King Arthur), to become a monk. In Cornwall, he founded a
monastery that was located at either South Hill or Golant, and, in
Brittany, he founded the monastery of Dol. Ordained bishop by St
Dubricius; soon after this, he believed he received a vision from
God telling him to bring the Gospel to Brittany. There is only
one certain date in Samson's life: he was ordained bishop
on the Feast of the Chair of Saint Peter (February 22)
at the beginning of Lent, which can be calculated to have
fallen in the year 521. *SAMSON* died in Dol-de-Bretagne,
a small town in north Brittany. The primary source for his biography
is the Vita Sancti Samsonis (written sometime between 610 & 820,
but clearly based on earlier materials) which valuable details
about Celtic Christianity in Britain during Samson's time.

1844 Gerard Manley Hopkins (d. June 8, 1889), British Victorian poet
and Jesuit priest. ?Prior to Hopkins most Middle English & Modern
English poetry was based on a rhythmic structure inherited from
the Norman side of English's literary heritage.
This structure is based on repeating groups of two or three
syllables, with the stressed syllable falling in the same place
on each repetition. Hopkins called this structure Running
Rhythm, and though he wrote some of his early verse in the Running
Rhythm he became fascinated with the older rhythmic structure of the
Anglo-Saxon tradition, of which Beowulf is the most famous example.
Hopkins called this rhythmic structure Sprung Rhythm. This Spring
Rhythm is structured around feet with a variable number of syllables,
generally between one and four syllables per foot, with the stress
always falls on the first syllable in a foot. Source: Wikipedia

.
<<The famous event of the *CLOAK* is believed to have occurred
at Greenwich Palace. Soon after his return from Ireland, Ralegh,
dressed very flamboyantly as usual, was walking with the Queen and
other courtiers. When they came to a muddy puddle Ralegh spread out
his *plush VELVET CLOAK* so that the Queen would not have to step
in the dirt. Whether it was true or not, Ralegh was rewarded
'with many suits', the lease of Durham House on the Strand
and many other privileges. With his new wealth he built a warship
which he named the *ARK Ralegh* . He later gave this to the Queen
who changed the name to the *ARK Royal*. This ship later became
the flagship of the English fleet which fought against the
Spanish Armada under the command of Lord Howard of Effingham.
(Although Walter Ralegh did not command a ship, he was
a naval adviser to the Queen and helped Sir John Hawkins
to implement improvements to the design of ships.)

Under the leadership of Joshua, the Israelites crossed
the Jordan "on dry ground" to enter the Promised Land:
.
"Now the Jordan is in flood all during harvest. Yet as soon as the
priests who carried the *ARK* reached the Jordan & their feet touched
the water's edge, the water from upstream stopped flowing. It piled up
in a heap a great distance away, at a town called Adam in the vicinity
of Zarethan, while the water flowing down to the Sea of the Arabah
(the Salt Sea) was completely cut off. So the people crossed over
opposite Jericho. The priests who carried the *ARK* of the covenant
of the LORD stood firm on dry ground in the middle of the Jordan,
while all Israel passed by until the whole nation had completed
the crossing on dry ground." (Joshua 3:15-17)

the water with it. "Where now is the Lord, the God of *ELIjAH*?"

Clivew wrote the SFF:
<<The poem [Gawain & the Green Knight] was written for a
(Cheshire) audience c1390-1400. There is a very cogent
argument that the model for Gawain was Robert de Vere, 9th earl
of Oxford, and that the Green Knight was Thomas of Woodstock.
Gawain's 'pentangle' is often known as the 'endless knot.'
Gawain's *CLOAK* is blue, so is the Garter gown. The de Vere name
gets a run in the poem, i.e. ‘The ver by his visage verayly hit
semed...’ There is a similarity between the coats of arms of
Gawain & de Vere. Membership of the exclusive Order of the Garter
may be likened to the elite brotherhood of the Round Table.
Robert de Vere was a member of the Order of the Garter.
Gawain’s celebrated pentangle & de Vere’s 5-pointed star are
essentially the same emblem, although Gawain’s was gold & de Vere’s
silver. The line 'The ver by his visage verayly hit semed' is
intriguing, especially to anyone on the lookout for encoded clues.
The context for these lines is that Gawain has arrived at
the Green Knight’s (Bertilak) castle, removes his armour and
dons clothing provided for him by Bertilak. The passage is:
. Sone as he on hent, and happed therinne,
. That sete on hym semly, wyth saylande skyrtes,
. The ver by his visage verayly hit semed
. Welnegh to uche hathel, alle on hwes,
. Lowande and lufly alle his lymmez under.
. That a comloker knyght *NEVER* Kryst made,
. hem thought.
J J Anderson in the version he edited renders the lines as: “As soon
as he had taken [a robe] and wrapped himself in it, one that suited
him well, with flowing skirts, [then] to everyone it seemed almost to
be truly springtime, all colourful as he was, [with] all his limbs
underneath glowing and graceful, so that Christ *NEVER* made a more
handsome knight, as it seemed to them.” Most (but not all) other
renditions of the lines are more or less on all fours with Anderson.
William McColly, however, inclines to read ver as ‘fur’ and also as a
pun on de Vere, rather than the more usual ‘spring’. In a literal
sense this becomes, then, according to McColly, “the fur by his face,”
but in a cryptic sense “de Vere by his appearance.” Anne Astell does
not miss the parallel between Gawain’s pentangle and the de Vere
mullet [sic], and regards the word-play on ver as “an in-house joke
for the benefit of a Cheshire audience well acquainted with the visage
of the exiled earl.” Astell sees the hunt sequence, in which a boar
“is slain at a watery ford”, and a later reference to the fox, who is
associated with Thomas of Woodstock, as an allusion to Radcot Bridge.
Astell dates the writing of the poem to between 1397 and 1400, leaning
to the view that it was written shortly before Richard’s deposition.
It's all about two hundred years before our Edward,
but if he knew his history and his antecedents.>>

Elizabeth
wonderful discovery of the Sidney-Dudley
pheon, you're going to have to come to
terms with the fact that Oxford wrote no
part of the Shakespeare works although
he is given the walk-on part Osric (rich in
oxen) in a couple of the Hamlet quartos.
You really should start immersing yourself
in books about the Sidney literary coterie.
I would really like to see your discovery
in print, but you should probably stay away
from works written after Mary Sidney was
made a candidate for Shakespeare authorship.
Mary no more wrote a Shakespeare play
than Oxford, although Mary's wrangle with
Oxford has historical interest. Edward Harman,
Cambridge with honors, Commander, British
Royal Navy, British diplomat, etc., wrote a
book on the question of the real identity of
Edmund Spenser who is alleged to have
written the Faerie Queene and Colin Clout and
several other works at Wilton but the Wilton
circle refers to Spenser as "a youth" while
Spenser's marker in Westminster Abbey
shows that Leicester's old retainer was born
in 1510.
That date is substantiated by a letter written
by Leicester's secretary to Leicester who was
then in England. The letter reads "Spenser has
grown too old for his job, it's a good time to
retire him with a pension."
The letter must have been written before
the Irish rebellion and confragration at Kilkolman
which burned Spenser's family to death and
probably Spenser along with them.
The Spenserians won't face up to those facts
or the fact that Spenser's job was to tally
the number of heads as they were severed from
the bodies of Irish cottagers. The land was being
cleared for resettlement of the excess English
population. Later the same thing would happen
in the north of Ireland for James I's resettlement
of landless Scots. How did that work out?
The "Edmund Spenser" that Gabriel Harvey
refered to as "a youth" is the same youth that
lunched with the Queen then wrote about it
with much discretion in the in the Harvey-
Immerito letters. Harvey writes to Immerito,
"you are a youth" an exact quote.
There's also plenty of heavy hinting about
young Immerito's affair with his younger
cousin, Mary Sidney.
Art. Oxford is boring. I confess that he is
the most tragic figure in the Elizabethan era,
what a terrible start in life, the narrative
is almost unbearable to read, I even cried at one
point and felt depressed just thinking back on
Sir John McLane's book on Oxford's father.
You should read it, Art. It would give you many
insights into Oxford. It can probably be downloaded
on Google Books if Google hasn't locked it. Google
is now selling the downloads it sequestered under
"no preview" and "limited preview" I assume to
get back at Amazon for the law suit it filed against
Google when Google Books was first put up.
How much money is enough? Many of the books
that Google is selling have been out of copyright
for over a hundred years. Those books, and there
are many thousands of them, belong to the public.
It's just too easy to do some minor alteration
on an out-of-copyright book and re-copyright it.
The law should be changed.
