Write is about explore the feelings

There is apparently, here and there on earth, a kind of continuation of love where this greedy desire of two persons for each other has given way to a new craving and greed, a common higher thirst for an ideal that stands above [über] them: but who knows this love? who has experienced it? Its true name is friendship [FW 14].

When speaking of the difficulty which a black boy experiences in America in competing with his white rivals, Booker Washington tells us that his own pathetic and desperate struggle taught him that 'success is to be measured not so much by the position that one has reached in life as by the obstacles which he has overcome while trying to succeed.

Writing is about exploring the feelings

When you get right down to the root meaning of the word “succeed,” you find that it simply means to follow through. —F.W. Nichol

The Muslims refuse our culture and try to impose their culture on us. I reject them, and this is not only my duty toward my culture-it is toward my values, my principles, my civilization.--Oriana Fallaci

At times we find certain solutions to problems that inspire strong faith even in us; perhaps henceforth we call them our “convictions.” Later on — we see in them only the footsteps of our self-knowledge, signposts to the problem that we are.

The Old Testament records the sage words of an old woman in addressing two younger ones: 'The Lord grant', said Naomi, 'that ye may find rest, each of you, in the house of her husband!' Who ever heard of a woman finding rest in the house of her husband? And yet, and yet ! The restless hearts are not the hearts of wives and of mothers, as many a lonely woman knows. There is no more crushing load than the load of a loveless life. It is a burden that is often beautifully and graciously borne, but its weight is a very real one. The mother may have a bent form, a furrowed brow, and worn, thin hands ; but her heart found its rest for all that. Naomi was an old woman; she knew the world very well, and her words are worth weighing. Heavy luggage is Christ's strange cure for weary hearts.

The natural lifespan of wild chickens is about seven to twelve years, and of cattle about twenty-five years. In the wild, most chickens and cattle died long before that, but they still had a fair chance of living for a respectable number of years. In contrast, the vast majority of domesticated chickens and cattle are slaughtered at the age of between a fw weeks and a few months, because this has always been the optimal slaughtering age from an economic perspective. (Why keep feeding a cock for three years if it has already reached its maximum weight after three months?)

When Jesus received the vinegar, He said, IT IS FINISHED. 'At these words,' said F.W. Krummacher, 'you hear fetters burst and prison walls falling down, barriers as high as heaven are overthrown, and gates which had been closed for thousands of years again move on their hinges.' The three English words, 'it is finished', are the equivalent of a single Greek word, tetelestai. In his charming way, F.W. Borham points out that it was a farmer's word. When there was born into his herd an animal so shapely that it seemed destitute of defects, the farmer, gazing on the creature with delighted eyes exclaimed 'Tetelestai'. It was an artist's word. When the painter had put the finishing touches to the vivid landscape, he would stand back and admire his masterpiece. Seeing that nothing called for correction or improvement he would murmur, 'tetelestai'. It was a priestly word. When some devout worshiper overflowing with gratitude for mercies received brought to the Temple a lamb without blemish, the pride of the flock, the priest, more accustomed to seeing blind and defective animals led to the altar, would look admiringly at the pretty creature and say, 'tetelestai'.

[...] Mi penetrate l'anima a fondo. Sono diviso tra l'angoscia più cupa e la speranza. Non ditemi che è troppo tardi, che quei preziosi sentimenti sono svaniti per sempre. Mi offro nuovamente a voi con un cuore che vi appartiene ancora più pienamente, di quando vuoi quasi lo spezzaste otto anni e mezzo addietro. Non osate dire che l'uomo dimentica prima della donna, che il suo amore muore prima. Non ho amato altri che voi. Posso essere stato ingiusto, sono stato debole e vendicativo, mai incostante. Soltanto a causa vostra sono venuto a Bath. Soltanto per voi penso e faccio progetti. [...] Credete dunque che il vero affetto e la costanza esistano tra gli uomini. Sappiate che essi vivono con il maggior fervore, con la più grande costanza in F.W.

... People like to know what they are getting ahead of time. Thus, McDonald's, Wal-Mart, F.W. Woolworth: store-brands maintained and visible across the entire country. Wherever you go, you will get something that is, with small regional variations, the same. 'In the field of funeral homes, however, things are, perforce, different. You need to feel that you are getting small-town personal service from someone who has a calling to the profession. You want personal attention to you and your loved one in a time of great loss. You wish to know that your grief is happening on a local level, not a national one. But in all branches of industry - and death is an industry, my young friend, make no mistake about that - one makes one's money from operating in bulk, from buying in quantity, from centralising one's operations. It's not pretty, but it's true. Trouble is, no one wants to know that their loved ones are travelling in a cooler van to some big old converted warehouse where they may have twenty, fifty, or a hundred cadavers to go... 'So when big companies come in they buy the name of the company, they pay the funeral directors to stay on, they create the apparency of diversity. But that is merely the tip of the gravestone. In reality, they are as local as Burger King.

Képtelen vagyok hallgatni. Szólnom kell magához, a rendelkezésemre álló módon és eszközzel. Belém hasít, amit mond. Kétség és remény közt gyötrődöm. Ne mondja, hogy elkéstem, hogy örökre elszálltak oly drága érzései. Hadd kínáljam fel ismét magam és szívemet, mely ma sokkal inkább a magáé, mint volt akkor, mikor nyolc és fél esztendővel ezelőtt majdnem összezúzta. Ne állítsa azt, hogy a férfi hamarabb felejt, mint a nő, hogy szerelme hamarabb kihűl. Soha nem szerettem mást, csak magát. Talán igazságtalan voltam, gyönge és sértődött bizonyosan, de állhatatlan soha. Maga, egyes-egyedül maga hozott engem Bathba. Csak magára gondolok, csak magáért tervezek -hát nem tudja? Lehetséges, hogy nem fogta fel vágyaimat? Nem vártam volna ki ezt a tíz napot, ha úgy tudnék olvasni érzelmeiben, mint amennyire hitem szerint maga belelátott az enyémekbe. Most alig tudok írni. Minden pillanatban hallok valamit, ami levesz a lábamról. Halkra fogja a hangját, ám én ennek a hangnak minden árnyalatát ismerem, és nem veszítek el egyetlen szótagot sem abból, amit más meg sem hallana -jóságos, nagyon, túlságosan is kiváló teremtés! Igen, valóban igazságosan ítél meg bennünket. Hiszi, hogy a férfiakban is van igaz ragaszkodás és állhatatosság. Higgye hát, hogy forrón és megingathatatlanul ez él bennem. F.W.

[The] defining characteristics of good prose [are]: a preference for short sentences diversified by an occasionally very long one; a tone that is relaxed and almost colloquial; a large vocabulary that enjoys exploiting the different etymological and social levels of words; and an insistence on verbal and logical precision.

I have learned that my quenchless longing for life is, after all, unconsciously, a secret, unutterable yearning after God; for how can you conceive of life apart from Him? We make our decisions, and then our decisions turn around and make us.

It was the Claim of Monopoly. 'Call upon Me in the day of trouble, and I will deliver thee.

F.W. Woolworth, the founder of the largest retail chain of its time, said, “I’m the world’s worst salesman. Therefore, I must make it easy to buy.

There is an unconscious influence about the true peacemaker that leads every man he meets to love his fellow men.

Our neighbor, Hugo du Toit, was a very handsome Afrikaner, who, with his two sisters, was a close friend of Louis Botha, the first Prime Minister of the Union of South Africa, and also a close friend of General Jan Christiaan Smuts, the Prime Minister of the Union of South Africa from 1919 until 1924. He became a South African military leader during World War II. Although some accuse Smuts of having started apartheid, he later stood against it and was a force behind the founding of the United Nations. He is still considered one of the most eminent Afrikaners ever…. At his expansive farm house, Hugo had autographed photos of both men on his study wall. Parties were frequently held at my grandparents’ home and the thought of roasted turkeys and potatoes which Cherie had prepared, brings back warm memories of a delightful era, now lost forever.” The Colonial History of South Africa For many years South Africa was occupied primarily by Dutch farmers known as Boers who had first arrived in the Cape of Good Hope in 1652 when Jan van Riebeeck established the Dutch East India Company and later by British settlers who arrived in the Cape colony after the Napoleonic wars in the 1820’s, on board the sailing ships the Nautilus and the Chapman. For the most part the two got along like oil and water. After 1806, some of the Dutch-speaking settlers left the Cape Colony and trekked into the interior where they established the Boer Republics. There were many skirmishes between them, as well as with the native tribes. In 1877 after the First Boer War between the Dutch speaking farmers and the English, the Transvaal Boer republic was seized by Britain. Hostilities continued until the Second Boer War erupted in October of 1899, costing the British 22,000 lives. The Dutch speaking farmers, now called Afrikaners, lost 7,000 men and having been overrun by the English acknowledged British sovereignty by signing the peace agreement, known as the “Treaty of Vereeniging,” on May 31, 1902. Although this thumbnail sketch of South African history leaves much unsaid, the colonial lifestyle continued on for the privileged white ruling class until the white, pro-apartheid National Party, was peacefully ousted when the African National Congress won a special national election. Nelson Mandela was elected as the first black president on May 9, 1994. On May 10, 1994, Mandela was inaugurated as The Republic of South Africa's new freely elected President with Thabo Mbeki and F.W. De Klerk as his vice-presidents.

annuysed FW 342.28 v. Entertained or amused in a way that also makes one troubled or annoyed. We are more often than not “annuysed” watching America’s Congress at work.

baallad FW 593.15 n. A poem, song, or ballad that tells a story about young sheep or a lamb. The nursery rhyme about Mary’s little lamb that broke the rules by following her to school is perhaps the most famous “baallad” of them all, although the “baallad” about the black sheep that had three bags full of wool is equally well known. An English expression for a nice, sweet young person is a “baa-lamb.”(“And let Billey Feghin be baallad out of his hummuluation.”)

bababadalgharaghtakamminarronnkonnbronntonnerronntuonnthunntrovarrhounawnskawntoohoohoordenenthurnuk! FW 3.15-17 n. Onomatopoeia for the sound of thunder. This is the first of 10 thunder words in Finnegans Wake, it and eight others having 100 letters and the 10th having 101 letters, making 1,001 letters that suggest the Arabian Nights or, in Wakese, “this scherzarade of one’s thousand and one nightinesses.” As a numerical palindrome, 1001 suggests the circular system of Vico and the Wake’s never-ending, never-beginning stylistic structure. In Vico’s system, the Divine Age is the first of three ages in which humanity hears the voice of God in thunder and, driven by fear (“the fright of light”) to hide in caves, pray “Loud, hear us!” “Who in the name of thunder’d ever belevin you were that bolt?” In keeping with this theme, the first thunder word is made up of many words similar to thunder in various languages: “kamminarro” (Japanese kaminari); “tuonn” (Italian tuono); “bronnto” (Greek Bronte); “thurnuk” (Gaelic tornach); “awnska” (Swedish aska); “tonner” (French tonnerre and Latin tonare); “tova” (Portuguese trovao); and “ton” (Old Rumanian tun).

combarative FW 140.33 adj. One who likes to fight or is combative regarding how something is alike or different, that is over comparative issues. Political talk shows featuring “combarative” hosts of both liberal and conservative persuasions make for some argumentatively entertaining evenings on television. (“after all the errears and erroriboose of combarative embattled history”)

cropse FW 55.8 n. In A Guide Through “Finnegans Wake,” Edmund Epstein writes that “’corpse’ combines with ‘crops’ to make a wholly new and richly evocative contra-dictory word, ‘cropse,’ combining the idea of death with resurrection.” This is the grand theme of the Wake, falling and rising, decline and renewal, death and rebirth. (“on the bunk of our breadwinning lies the cropse of our seedfather”) Epstein adds that “’seedfather’ does not create a wholly new word, for both elements of ‘seedfather’ are already existent words, with a double meaning contained in ‘seed’; only the combination is novel.

abcedminded FW 18.17 n. Alphabet-minded or interested in the origin of the letters of the alphabet and their uses in forming words. This suggests an Old English word for alphabet—abecede. The “abcedminded” are apt to become lexicographers or interested in the art of lexicography. With a slight stretch, absent-minded comes to mind, something literary and scholarly types are typically portrayed as being.

abnihilisation FW 353.22 n. From nothing, the annihilation or complete destruction of something back to nothing. Joyce maintained that while he created Ulysses out of next to nothing, he was creating Finnegans Wake out of nothing. The Latin ab nihil for “from nothing” and the philosophical meaning of nihilism as the denial of all existence come into play here.

acknuckledownedgment FW 344.8 n. The admission or acknowledgement that one has worked hard and earnestly or knuckled down in achieving an objective. There is also the suggestion that knuckles came into play in the process, hinting at a fistfight or at least some sort of battle. On the evening of November 4, 2008, John McCain was gracious in giving Barack Obama a sincere “acknuckledownedgment” for his successful presidential campaign.

crosskisses FW 111.17 n. xxx’s at the end of a letter to signify touches with the lips as a sign of love or kisses. (“must now close it with fondest to the twoinns with four crosskisses for holy paul holey corner holipoli whollyisland pee ess from”) These “crosskisses” come at the end of one of a number of versions of the famous letter from Boston that the hen pecks out of the kitchen midden and even appear much later in Finnegans Wake with “X.X.X.X.” (See anomorous.) cruelfiction FW 192.19 n. 1. Fiction that delights in causing pain and suffering to to the extent that readers feel they have been put to death by being fastened to a cross, becoming victims of the cruel torture of crucifixion. Most critics have labeled Finnegans Wake as a prime example of “cruelfiction.” Readers will have their own candidates for this label, usually novels they were assigned to read for a book report in high school. 2. Fiction that’s subject is cruelty, such as almost any novel by the Marquis de Sade or short stories and novels that deal honestly with the treatment of Native Americans by the government of the United States. (“O, you were excruciated, in honour bound to the cross of your own cruelfiction!”)

horrhorrd FW 378.7 v. Listened to or heard in great fear or horror. (“oversense he horrhorrd his name in thuthunder”) Joyce had a great horror of thunder and avoided cities that were known to have many thunderstorms.

hystry FW 535.18 n. A record of the past or history presented with unrestrained emotion or hysteria.

langwedge FW 73.1 n. Spoken or written speech or language used to split or separate like a wedge.

experience will be more retrogressive than progressive. Inevitably readers follow the injunction to “Forget, remember!” (FW 614.22) by forgetting more than they can remember so that each reading will become, in effect, a new remembering: “all that has been done has yet to be done and done again” (FW 194.10

al-qaeda.

anthrapologize FW 151.7 v. Express regret or apologize for the science of man or anthropology. So many mistakes, unintentional and sometimes not, have been made in the study of human origins and development, especially racial, along with customs and beliefs, that some apologies are needed.

painapple FW 167.15 & 246.29 n. 1. An apple that causes suffering or pain.

„Još se niste tražili: umesto toga našli ste mene. Tako čine svi vernici; stoga se tako malo dobija od svih vera. Sada vas pozivam da izgubite mene i nađete sebe…“ Niče, F.W. „Ecce homo

All Fergusson's verses, indeed all humanist verse, has within it an eligiac seam; always present beneath the surface is the assumption that the world is imperfect, that it has fallen from grace. As with the disintegrating Tory ideal in the country, there is in Fergusson's poetry an ideal, imagined city of the past, hopelessly toppling as the new Babylon lays down its foundations: city of chaos, dirt, noise, broken communication, luxury, disorder. In essence the poet follows in his representation the timeless humanist imperative, attempting 'to create order out of disorder, and to make sense of life'. Hallow-Fair and Leith Races to a degree make just such a clear demarcation between the two cities of past and present in their thesis - antithesis structures. The two cities embody two different Scottish cultures: Auld Reekie, the pastoral, civilised, humanist culture; and Edina, the Athens of the North, but more often, Babylon, the counter-pastoral, brutal, Whig culture. Hallow-Fair, Leith Races, The Election, The King's Birth-Day in Edinburgh, satirise the new Babylon; the poems of this group celebrate an older Scotland, and Auld Reekie, in the same eligiac vein as The Daft Days. Yet, as we have seen, the poet, at times, undermines too rigorous a humanist position: demarcations are not all that clear; ideals don't always elevate the human codition; the endless wheel of change and creativity, diversity and unrest, may be forging themselves into a new order.

Capt. Wentworth's letter to Anne Elliot: I can listen no longer in silence. I must speak to you by such means as are within my reach. You pierce my soul. I am half agony, half hope. Tell me not that I am too late, that such precious feelings are gone for ever. I offer myself to you again with a heart even more your own than when you almost broke it, eight years and a half ago. Dare not say that man forgets sooner than woman, that his love has an earlier death. I have loved none but you. Unjust I may have been, weak and resentful I have been, but never inconstant. You alone have brought me to Bath. For you alone, I think and plan. Have you not seen this? Can you fail to have understood my wishes? I had not waited even these ten days, could I have read your feelings, as I think you must have penetrated mine. I can hardly write. I am every instant hearing something which overpowers me. You sink your voice, but I can distinguish the tones of that voice when they would be lost on others. Too good, too excellent creature! You do us justice, indeed. You do believe that there is true attachment and constancy among men. Believe it to be most fervent, most undeviating, in F.W, I must go, uncertain of my fate; but I shall return hither, or follow your party, as soon as possible. A word, a look, will be enough to decide whether i enter your father's house this evening or never.

For the duration of Dennis's illness, I felt like Hester Prynne. I had the overwhelming sense that I was walking around with a giant 'FW' emblazoned on my shirt: "Future Widow.

applegate FW 69.21 n. Eve and Adam’s fall in the Garden of Eden after eating the forbidden (See forebitten.) fruit of the Tree of the Knowledge of Good and Evil, popularly thought of as an apple. This is one of those instances in which Joyce came up with a term that was later to become widely used in popular culture. Instances include Watergate, Contragate, and Monicagate, though in Monicagate the term “gate” assumes an alluded meaning that would require an “R” rating. (“everything was got up for the purpose he put an applegate on the place by no means as some pretext a bedstead”) It’s been said that the real problem in Eden was not with the apple on the tree but with the pair on the ground.

apuckalips FW 455.1 n. The revelation of a cataclysmic upheaval or Apocalypse when you can pucker up your lips and kiss your ass goodbye. (“nor homemade hurricanes in our Cohortyard, no cupahurling nor apuckalips nor no puncheon jodelling nor no nothing”) Punch and Judy appear here.

malestimated FW 125.21 v. Ill or badly and calculated approximately or estimated. (“still today insufficiently malestimated notesnatcher”) The projected budget that an American president sends each year to Congress is invariably “malestimated.” This is especially true for the cost of our wars.

inuendation FW 194.32 n. A flood or inundation of insinuation or innuendo. HCE certainly suffers from an “inuendation” after his midnight encounter with the Cad in Phoenix Park. Even though the resulting trials prove nothing definite, the “inuendation” still remains, and HCE continues to suffer guilt simply from accusation. (“all waived to a point and then all inuendation”) (See contrawatchwise

inwader FW 581.3 n. One who enters a country with force for conquest or an invader who walks through shallow water or wades ashore during the invasion. The most famous “inwader” of all must be General Douglas McArthur who, after being driven from the Philippines by the Japanese, retook the country after having to wade from a landing craft to the shore, proclaiming, “People of the Philippines, I have returned.

It is amusing (or bemusing) to note that binary and I Ching are not only isomorphic to FW but also, as Martin Schoenberger has noted, to the genetic code. The full details are explained in Dr. Schoenberger's The I Ching and the Genetic Code; for our purposes here it is enough to note the following:

Bureaucracy appears in English from mC19. Carlyle in Latter-day Pamphlets (1850) wrote of `the Continental nuisance called "Bureaucracy" ', and Mill in 1848 wrote of the inexpediency of concentrating all the power of organized action `in a dominant bureaucracy'. In 1818, using an earlier form, Lady Morgan had written of the `Bureaucratic or office tryanny, by which Ireland had been so long governed'. The word was taken from fw bureaucratie, F, rw bureau - writing-desk and then office. The original meaning of bureau was the baize used to cover desks. The English use of bureau as office dates from eC18; it became more common in American use, especially with reference to foreign branches, the French influence being predominant. The increasing scale of commercial organization, with a corresponding increase in government intervention and legal controls, and with the increasing importance of organized and professional central government, produced the political facts to which the new term pointed.

War has certainly lost much of its romance since going into winter quarters went out of fashion.

There is no drama like the drama of reality.

I said, too, that the recent war—the Boer war of 1900—had brought about a condition of general unsettlement and dislocation which would make his difficult task still more baffling.

Vico’s terminology follows the principle of his oration Study Methods: to balance the moderns against the ancients. The reader is asked to have Joyce’s ‘‘two thinks at a time’’ (FW 583.7), to move between the modern and Vico’s meaning. Vico does not simply replace modern meanings with his own original ones. He repeatedly faces the reader with both.

It is in the connection between the philosophical concern with eternal necessity and the philological concern with the things produced by choice and human will that the ‘‘newness’’ of Vico’s new science lies. Vico’s claims in the De constantia are another way to see how he is a philosopher in only a general sense. Vico is in fact a jurisprudent whose subject is ‘‘the jurisprudence of the human race’’ and whose ‘‘constancy’’ includes philosophy. Vico is the jurisprudent first and the philosopher second. Vico’s concern, extending from the Universal Law to the New Science, is to provide a constancy of judgment, not as a means by which we can interpret a given body of law but as a way in which we can interpret the ‘‘law of the nations’’ itself. Constancy is not simply the consistency of making the same judgment over and over. It requires the knowledge and balancing of opposites as they bear on particular human events. ‘‘counsel and constancy. ordination of omen, onus and orbit. distribution of danger, duty and destiny. polar principles’’ (FW 271.R 1–13).
