Edward Lear in the Other Blogs
- - When my sisters and I were young we had a favorite book of poems: Piping Down the Valleys Wild (edited by Nancy Larrick). I was lucky enough to come across this book at a garage sale several years ago. Some of my favorites include: Get Up and Bar the Door (Anonymous) The Owl and the Pussycat (Edward Lear) Cats (Eleanor Farjeon) Every Time I Climb a Tree (David McCord) My Shadow (Robert Louis Stevenson) Daddy Fell Into the Pond (Alfred Noyes) Father William (Lewis Carroll) It was that collectio
- - The Owl and the Pussy Cat is my most favourite nonsense rhyme. I used to sing it to my eldest when she was a baby, over and over again until she went to sleep. It is such a lovely long poem/song that I never seemed to tire of it. Do you remember it? Here are the words: THe Owl and the Pussy Cat by Edward Lear The Owl and the Pussy-Cat went to sea In a beautiful pea-green boat: They took some honey, and plenty of money Wrapped up in a five-pound note. The Owl looked up to the stars a
- - Great poem: The Owl and the Pussycat by Edward Lear The Owl and the Pussycat went to sea In a beautiful pea-green boat, They took some honey, and plenty of money, Wrapped up in a five pound note. The Owl looked up to the stars above, And sang to a small guitar, "O lovely Pussy! O Pussy, my love, What a beautiful Pussy you are, you are, you are, What a beautiful Pussy you are." Pussy said to the Owl "You elegant fowl, How charmingly sweet you sing. O let us be married, too long we have tarried

- - Edward Lear fue un escritor del siglo XIX conocido por su poesía sinsentido o nosense. En este tipo de literatura podemos citar a Lewis Carroll, que fue coetáneo suyo. También escribió limericks que son poesías humorísticas breves, de cinco líneas, en las que las dos primeras y la última riman. Otra faceta muy interesante suya fue la de ilustrador. Aquí os dejo algunas ilustraciones con las que adornaba sus escritos: Si os interesa ver más ilustraciones suyas, o leer sus poesías, podéis ent
- - Written by Chris Floyd Tuesday, 13 May 2008 'The Cedars of Lebanon' by Edward Lear, British. Oil, 1862. What's going on in Lebanon? Nothing you haven't seen before -- in Iraq, Afghanistan, Somalia, Palestine and other places where "the United States is basically instigating and funding civil wars." So says Professor As’ad AbuKhalil -- better known perhaps as the "Angry Arab," for his indispensable website of the same name. AbuKhalil was born and raised in Lebanon and has an intima

Resident hacks Al and Jimmy bring you the best of this month’s music — a change in direction from drum’n'bass chopper Tim Exile and a chat and a cup of tea with hirsute rapper Scroobius Pip, whose new single is out this month. Tim Exile goes pop!

- - When I posted Friday's entry, I left everything neat and all tidied up and sauntered off to AREA 51 where I intended to party a bit. In my haste to finish the entry and rendezvous with the fair ladies of AREA 51, I neglected to inform you that as of that entry, there had been no nominees for The Cat's Ass Trophy. I figured that I'd just let it ride because surely no one would do anything stupid over the weekend, but nooooo ! Never underestimate the resources of the hard of understanding, they a
- - I had forgotten that intense feeling of freedom that the last exam for the summer brings. I had an exam on Monday night and today I surfaced after my first decent sleep in… I can’t remember since when, and read my first newspaper in a couple of weeks. It was as if I had regained a sense, or maybe several, after a knock on the head. Exhilirating! I went out for a walk intending to come back and work on my last assignment, due in a week, and I was so intoxicated with the sunshine that I didn’t
- - Like finding a needle in a haystack, sometimes we don't fully appreciate a treasure we have in our online store-- until it's SOLD! I remember never taking a second look at this album, with its early 1970s hairstyles and the group posing in front of a big steam locomotive. Folkies posing in front of trains-- well, it just didn't stand out. Then we sold it and by tomorrow it will be gone; but thank heavens we dropped the needle on this baby! If you, like me, often wonder how such immense musical g
- - Late Nights - Let's first talk about why people think being voluntarily awake at night is 'not healthy, beta'. Living in IIT has it's benefits when it comes to being an insomniac. If biology works en masse on a species-to-species basis, you know you're well into the grand scheme of things because if you stop yawning at ten pm, so are around 3800 students. This educated guess (thanks, Mayur) includes professors. Isolation has been ruled out, because this whole jing-bang lot of disagreeable people
- - Edward Lear, an English writer and artist, became famous for his humorous poems for children. Born in London on May 12 1812, Lear's first book of poems, "A Book of Nonsense" (1846) ranks as a masterpiece of children's literature. His best known "The owl and the Pussy-cat" became a classic too. That old man of Melrose Who walked on tip of his toes But they said it ain't pleasant To see u at present You stupid old man of Melrose Well, Limericks is a form of humorous verse. It takes it's name fr
- - This year is the 40th anniversary of the Booker Prize, and as I noted some time ago in a post that I not can't find, three judges have put together a shortlist of what they consider to be the six best Booker winners since the prize's inception.
