Overview of the life of Francis Bacon Rawley's Life of Bacon William Rawley(1588-1667) became Bacon's domestic chaplain and secretary shortly after the latter was made Lord Keeper. After Bacon's death Rawley edited a number of his works and became the (self-appointed) guardian of Bacon's legacy. His life of Bacon was published in 1657 alongside a collection of Bacon's English works in the Resuscitatio Aubrey's Description of Verulam and Gorhambury The antiquary John Aubrey (1626-1697) visited Verulam and Gorhambury in 1656 and provided the fullest account we have of the house on which Bacon lavished great attention. Ben Jonson, 'Lord Bacon's Birthday' Ben Jonson wrote this ode in 1621, to celebrate the sixieth birthday of the Lord Chancellor. A lavish banquet was held on the occasion at York House, which was leased by the Archbishop of York to the incumbent Lord Keeper. As Jonson mentions in the poem, Bacon was born in the house, during his father's tenure as Lord Keeper. Aubrey's Account of the Death of Bacon The first printed account of Bacon's death, by Pierre Amboise (1631) described him as staying out of doors too long while conducting experiments into the effects of cold. The celebrated account given by Aubrey, on the authority of Thomas Hobbes, is far more picturesque. Bacon's Letter to the Earl of Arundel This letter written by Bacon to Thomas Howard, earl of Arundel, to explain his presence in the earl's house where he had been taken after being taken ill on a journey lends some credence to Aubrey's account. It was printed by Tobie Matthew in his

Quotes Love is indescribable and unconditional. I could tell you a thousand things that it is not, but not one that it is. Either you have it or you haven't; there's no proof of it.Duke Ellington The war is ours, now, here, it is our republic facing its own betraying terror. And how we tell the story is forever after.Ursula K. Le Guin "Regret for the things we did can be tempered by time; it is regret for the things we did not do that is inconsolable."Sidney J. Harris "If the Church is to speak in and to the present Zeitgeist , then it must recover its deliberations of desire and articulate again its theology of eros." Graham Ward, Cities of God "Love knows nothing of order." Saint Jerome "Be Kind, for everyone you meet is fighting a great battle." Philo of Alexandria "First Draughts ought to be as rude as those of Paynters, for he that in his first essay will be curious in refining will certainly be unhappy in inventing." John Aubrey (1626-1697) "The brain is a wonderful organ; it starts working the moment you get up in the morning and does not stop until you get to the office."

SIN-EATING IN THE AMMAN VALLEY By Dr. Huw Walters, B.Lib. Carmarthen Historian, Volume XV (1978) Pages 70 - 76. A biography which recently proved to be of considerable interest to me was that written by Paxton Hood on the life and times of that fiery Welsh preacher, Christmas Evans (1). In the first chapter of the work, the author deals with the characteristics of Welsh preaching during the period 1750-1850, and also deals in a somewhat romantic manner with the Welsh language and its speakers' superstitions. Whilst dealing in detail with some of these superstitions, he says: "No doubt the proclamation of the Gospel and the elevated faith which its great truths bring in its train, broke the fascination, the charm and power of many of these superstitions, but they lingered even until the last forty or fifty years-indeed the superstition of the sin-eater is said to linger even now in the secluded vale of Cwmaman in Carmarthenshire." (2) Being a native of the Amman Valley, my interest and curiosity in the sin-eater were naturally aroused. Subsequent research revealed that the duty of the sin-eater was to take upon himself the sins of a deceased person. Upon the death of an inhabitant of a locality, the sin-eater would be summoned and would place a plateful of salt covered with a slice of bread upon the breast of the deceased. After the recitation of appropriate charms over the body, the sin-eater would then proceed to eat both bread and salt, and wash them down with a tankard of beer. It was generally believed that the sins of the deceased were transferred to the unfortunate wretch through his consumption of the salt and bread. A paltry sum of sixpence or a shilling would then be paid to him before he was driven over the threshold to the sound of oaths, and threats never to return again.

Alle Menschen werden zu einem gewissen Grade durch das Gesicht der Erde beeindruckt, einige werden gar in Begeisterung versetzt. Diese Liebe zur Schönheit nennt man Geschmack. Wieder andere verspüren diese Liebe in so überreichem Maße, dass sie nicht bei der bloßen Bewunderung verharren, sondern versuchen, sie in neuen Formen auszudrücken. Diese Schöpfung von Schönheit nennt man Kunst. ( Ralph Waldo Emerson) Unter der Rubrik WER? finden Sie etwas über die Geschichte und die Erbauer von Stonehenge. Unter dem Abschnitt WIE? ist erklärt, wie man sich den Bau von der Anlage vorzustellen hat.

Also, about the strategic questions that arise: who were the enemy, is this earthwork anything like Hadrian's wall, etc. But the human element will not be forgotten: who gave the order to undertake this massive project? Were it the concerned Late Roman citizens of Wiltshire? Or a powerful landowner, such as Ambrosius? Or might it have been Arthur himself?

(12 votos) Lectores Opinan No encontre nada interesante en los amores de Shakespeare, creo k más allá de si era gay o no, o si era adultero, más importante es su obra literaria. Creo k has caido precisamente en el amarillismo en tu escrito. Mejor comenta a "La Fierecilla Domada" o "Sueño de una noche de verano", k en mi humilde opinión, merecen más tus reflexiones.

KÉPEK A XVII. század közepén John Aubrey állította elsõként, hogy a brit kõkörök druida templomok voltak. Egyikkortársa ,,ügyefogyott, kalandozó, szeszélyes, néha csaknem õrült" személyként írta le , de ez nem tántorította el a késõbbi romantikus költõket és mûvészeket. A Stonehege-t ábrázoló festményeket, mint pl. John Constable mûve , hogy fokozzák a kövek félelmet keltõ voltát, kegyetlen idõjárási környezetben örökítették meg. John Aubrey (1626-1697), a régész írt elõször Stonehege és a druidák közötti esetleges kapcsolatról. Geoffrey of Monmouth középkori író szerint Merlin, a varázsló szálította Stonehenge köveit a Salisbury-fennsíkra. A XIV. századi kódex illusztrációján látható, amint két riadt csodáló alak között minden erõlkedés nélkül helyez el egy súlyos áthidaló gerendát. A néphagyomány másik elterjedt hiedelme szerint kõvé dermedt óriások alkotják a kõköröket.

Roy Dotrice performs excerpts from his one-man show "Brief Lives", based on the diaries of John Aubrey, 17th century wit, gossip, antiquarian and writer. "Brief Lives" had two good runs on Broadway in the 60's and 70's. Here is Aubrey at the end of his life, an old man in a room cluttered with his collections, recalling Elizabethan customs, personalities and folklore and what the objects he has carefully saved tell about the past. It is a monologue with lots of stage business; funny, informative, and touching. Aubrey (1626-1697) was well educated and made it his business to know and write about the eminent men of his time. Yet he died unknown and his "Lives" was not even discovered for another century. 1974.
