Plus Ultra Quotes

So…these Pillars of Hercules. Are they dangerous?” Annabeth stayed focused on the cliffs. “For Greeks, the pillars marked the end of the known world. The Romans said the pillars were inscribed with a Latin warning—” “Non plus ultra,” Percy said. Annabeth looked stunned. “Yeah. Nothing Further Beyond. How did you know?” Percy pointed. “Because I’m looking at it.

Go beyond! Plus Ultra!

ne plus ultra of interactivity: a surgeon operates on his own brain whilst filming and watching it through his phone

..."Emeninemletters," Caucasian girls from the wrong side of the tracks with big mouths and big attitudes, who weren't taking shit from anyone(except the men in their lives). They had thinly plucked eyebrows, corn-rowed hair, hip-hop vocabularies, and baby daddies, and they thought Paris Hilton was the ne plus ultra of feminine beauty." -Piper Kerman, page 137

You may not have heard, Duke, that there is a new word to describe that sort of attitude," said the archivist, who was Secretary to the Committee against Reconsideration, "One says 'mentality.' It means exactly the same thing, but it has the advantage that nobody knows what you're talking about. It's the ne plus ultra just now, the 'latest thing,' as they say.

The shovel is truly an implement born of civilisation.

De rigueur. A fancy-schmancy adjective meaning “required or prescribed by fashion”. To misspell it is the ne plus ultra of failed pretention.

Bannon described Trump as a simple machine. The On switch was full of flattery, the Off switch full of calumny. The flattery was dripping, slavish, cast in ultimate superlatives, and entirely disconnected from reality: so-and-so was the best, the most incredible, the ne plus ultra, the eternal. The calumny was angry, bitter, resentful, ever a casting out and closing of the iron door.

Counting is a symptom, but counting symptoms is also a symptom, a tick plus ultra. I've got meta-Tourette's. Thinking about ticcing, my mind racing, thoughts reaching to touch every possible symptom. Touching touching. Counting counting. Thinking thinking. Mentioning mentioning Tourette's. It's sort of like talking about telephones over the telephone, or mailing letters describing the location of various mailboxes. Or like a tugboater whose favorite anecdote concerns actual tugboats.

Sadie might not have many friends, but she'd never felt that she needed them: Alice was ne plus ultra. No one was cleverer, more daring, more beautiful, more hilarious, more fill-in-the-adjective-of-your-choice than Alice. Even though they insisted Alice would recover, Sadie often found herself imaging a world that didn't have Alice in it. A world that lacked shared jokes and music and sweaters and par-baked brownies and sister skin casually against sister skin, under the blankets, in the darkness and most of all, lacking Alice, the keeper of innermost secrets and shames of Sadie's innocent heart.

Sadie might not have many friends, but she’d never felt that she needed them: Alice was ne plus ultra. No one was cleverer, more daring, more beautiful, more athletic, more hilarious, more fill-in-the-adjective-of-your-choice than Alice. Even though they insisted Alice would recover, Sadie often found herself imagining a world that didn’t have Alice in it. A world that lacked shared jokes and music and sweaters and par-baked brownies and sister skin casually against sister skin, under the blankets, in the darkness, and most of all, lacking Alice, the keeper of the innermost secrets and shames of Sadie’s innocent heart. There was no one Sadie loved more than Alice, not her parents, not her grandmother. The world sans Alice was bleak, like a grainy photograph of Neil Armstrong on the moon, and it kept the eleven-year-old up late at night.

The bust of the General was unquestionably the finest bust I ever saw. For your life you could not have found a fault with its wonderful proportion. This rare peculiarity set off to great advantage a pair of shoulders which would have called up a blush of conscious inferiority into the countenance of the marble Apollo. I have a passion for fine shoulders, and may say that I never beheld them in perfection before. The arms altogether were admirably modeled. Nor were the lower limbs less superb. These were, indeed, the ne plus ultra of good legs. Every connoisseur in such matters admitted the legs to be good. There was neither too much flesh, nor too little,—neither rudeness nor fragility. I could not imagine a more graceful curve than that of the os femoris, and there was just that due gentle prominence in the rear of the fibula which goes to the conformation of a properly proportioned calf. I wish to God my young and talented friend Chiponchipino, the sculptor, had but seen the legs of Brevet Brigadier General John A. B. C. Smith.

[Professor Greene's] reaction to GAMAY, as published in the Yale Daily News, fairly took one's breath away. He fondled the word "fascist" as though he had come up with a Dead Sea Scroll vouchsafing the key word to the understanding of God and Man at Yale. In a few sentences he used the term thrice. "Mr. Buckley has done Yale a great service" (how I would tire of this pedestrian rhetorical device), "and he may well do the cause of liberal education in America an even greater service, by stating the fascist alternative to liberalism. This fascist thesis . . . This . . . pure fascism . . . What more could Hitler, Mussolini, or Stalin ask for . . . ?" (They asked for, and got, a great deal more.) What survives, from such stuff as this, is ne-plus-ultra relativism, idiot nihlism. "What is required," Professor Greene spoke, "is more, not less tolerance--not the tolerance of indifference, but the tolerance of honest respect for divergent convictions and the determination of all that such divergent opinions be heard without administrative censorship. I try my best in the classroom to expound and defend my faith, when it is relevant, as honestly and persuasively as I can. But I can do so only because many of my colleagues are expounding and defending their contrasting faiths, or skepticisms, as openly and honestly as I am mine." A professor of philosophy! Question: What is the 1) ethical, 2) philosophical, or 3) epistemological argument for requiring continued tolerance of ideas whose discrediting it is the purpose of education to effect? What ethical code (in the Bible? in Plato? Kant? Hume?) requires "honest respect" for any divergent conviction?

« Les lutteurs de l’université, avec lesquels s’entraînait Garp parfois, avaient un vocabulaire très précis pour désigner les photos de ce genre. Le vocabulaire en question, Garp le connaissait, n’avait pas changé depuis l’époque où il était élève à Steering et où ses camarades commentaient en termes identiques ce genre de photos. Une seule chose avait changé, ces photos circulaient désormais en toute liberté, mais le vocabulaire était le même. La photo que Garp contemplait dans son rêve se situait tout en haut de l’échelle dans la hiérarchie des photos pornographiques. Pour les photos de femmes nues, les appellations variaient ce que l’on pouvait voir. Si la toison pubienne était visible, mais non les parties génitales, cela s’appelait une « photo de buisson » – ou simplement un « buisson ». Si les organes génitaux étaient visibles, même partiellement dissimulés sous les poils, on disait un « castor » ; un « castor » avait davantage la cote qu’un buisson ; un castor montrait tout : les poils et les organes. Si les organes étaient ouverts, on disait un « castor fendu ». Et si le tout luisait, c’était, en manière de pornographie, le nec plus ultra : un « castor fendu et mouillé ». La moiteur impliquait que non seulement la femme était nue, offerte et ouverte, mais qu’en outre elle était prête. »

Günde 18 saat çalışmak; işte 18.yüzyıl insanseverlerin ve ahlakçılarının idealleri. nec plus ultra: daha ötesi yok çağımızın çalışma yüzyılı olduğu söyleniyor, aslında acının, sefaletin ve çürümenin yüzyılı kırsal bir yerleşimin orta yerine fabrika dikmektense, veba tohumu ekmek, su kaynaklarını zehirlemek daha iyidir. yoksul uluslar halkın rahat ettiği uluslardır, zengin uluslarda ise halk genellikle yoksuldur. modern ordular sadece iç düşmanı ezmek için beslenirler burjuvazinin sanayi ve ticari yeni ihtiyaçlarına uyum sağlamış protestanlık, halkın dinlenmesini daha az dert etti. dini bayramları azalttı. in anima vili: değersiz hayat tacir ve ticaret her zaman aşağılanan bir şey olmuştur antik yunanda Platon'a göre: doğa ne kunduracı yaratır, ne de demirci. Bu tür meşguliyetler bunları yerine getiren kişileri değersizleştirir. Yalan söylemeyi ve aldatmayı alışkanlık haline getirmiş tacirlere ise, sitede ancak zorunlu bir kötülük olarak müsamaha gösterilecektir. Cicero şöyle demektedir: Bir dükkandan saygıya ve hürmete layık ne çıkabilir? Ticaret namuslu bir şey üretebilir mi? Dükkan denen şey dürüst bir insana layık değildir. Tüccarlar yalan söylemeden kazanamadığına göre, yalancı olmaktan daha utanç verici ne olabilir? kim ki kendi emeğini para karşılığı satar, kendini de satar ve köle mertebesine düşürür.

Parmi tant de surprenantes boutiques, celles qui donnent le plus à réfléchir sont pour moi, dans une rue que les étrangers connaissent à peine, ces espèces de hangars poussiéreux, où s'entassent les vieilles armes, les vieilles cuirasses, les vieux visages d'acier, tout l'attirail pour faire peur qui servait aux anciennes batailles, et les fanions des Samouraïs, leurs emblèmes de ralliement, leurs étendards. Sur des fantômes de mannequins qui ne tiennent plus debout, posent des armures squameuses, des moitiés de figures poilues, des masques ricanant la mort. Un fouillis d'objets ultra-méchants, qui pour nous ne ressemblent à rien de connu, tellement qu'on les croirait tombés de quelque planète à peine voisine. Ce Japon à demi fantastique, soudainement écroulé après des millénaires de durée, gît là pêle-mêle et continue de dégager un vague effroi. Ainsi, les pères, ou les grands-pères tout au plus, de ces petits soldats d'aujourd'hui, si drôlement corrects dans leurs uniformes d'Occident, se déguisaient encore en monstres de rêve, il y a cinquante ans à peine, lorsqu'il s'agissait d'aller se battre; ils mettaient ces cornes, ces crêtes, ces antennes; ils ressemblaient à des scarabées, des hippocampes, des chimères: par les trous de ces masques à grimace, luisaient leurs yeux obliques et sortaient leurs cris de fureur ou d'agonie... Et c'est dans les vallées ou les champs de ce gentil pays vert qu'avaient lieu ces scènes uniques au monde: les rencontres et les corps à corps d'armées rivales, vêtues avec cet art démoniaque, alors que les longs sabres coupants, tenus à deux mains au bout de bras musculeux et courts, décrivaient leurs moulinets en l'air, puis faisaient partout des entailles saignantes, fauchaient ensemble les casques cornus et les figures masquées.

Ultra-Sensitive C-Reactive Protein Blood (HS-CRP) C-reactive protein measures an inflammatory response in the body and has been shown to play a role in atherosclerosis and blood clot formation.  Patients should ask their doctor specifically about HS-CRP, as this test helps determine heart disease risk. Elevated HS-CRP is related to increased risk for heart attack, restenosis of coronary arteries after angioplasty, stroke, and peripheral vascular disease (PVD). While elevated cholesterol, LDL, and triglycerides plus low HDL are independent risk factors for heart disease and cholesterol build-up, HS-CRP provides added information about inflammation in the arteries. This cannot be determined by lipid testing alone. Results Less than 1.0 mg/L = Low Risk for Cardio Vascular Disease (CVD) 1.0 – 2.9 mg/L = Intermediate Risk for CVD Greater than 3.0 mg/L High Risk for CVD

But it wasn’t long before this strategy started to pay dividends. With each successive four-mile running interval, I began to pass runners, two to four at a time. When I walked, one of these athletes would again pass me, but not the others. And when I resumed the running, I would pass that person, plus two to three more. Again and again. Leapfrogging my way up the field. And that’s when I started to believe.

Cigarettes café promenades comme chez les fous un véritable esclandre ici nous sommes tous amis. ici nous sommes tous sains d’esprit. personne ne reconnaît. les regards perdus parlent de nous. les détournements de la réalité immédiate auraient été notre seule réalité. disaient ceux qui pensaient contrôler la réalité. l’infirmier a dit je suis nouveau. une fleur un jour de mai. je suis tout juste bon. pour les pilules probablement une dépression j’ignore si je suis guéri ou si j’ai jamais été déprimé. je fus interrogé par un collègue si je me suis acclimaté. trois mois qu’il pêchait délicatement les plantes dans la rigole. regarde comme elles sont belles. j’avais envie de rire. sans raison. tel un fou. il a été conduit à l’hôpital par un temps hivernal. on ne nous a jamais donné de fourchettes pour manger. Ils disaient qu’on allait se crever les yeux fixant le vide. le premier jour nous avons mangé le plat de résistance avec les mains. aucun de nous n’avait assez de cigarettes. le nec plus ultra était de fumer et d’observer la lune. aucun espoir que les amoureuses ou les épouses nous cherchent. si toutefois ça leur arrivait de passer en coup de vent as tu apporté des cigarettes pour observer la lune. on demandait. j’ai quitté cet endroit. je n’ai pas découvert ce dont je souffrais. d’un hôpital à l’autre. que dira le monde. le pauvre habite en mezzanine. bien sûr ils m’ont demandé comment je me sentais. l’éternelle bienveillance. cela peut arriver à tout un chacun. disait-on. (traduit du roumain par Gabrielle Danoux)

Has dicho modernísimo, como si moderno fuera el non plus ultra del halago. Como si, hablando de algo, no se pudiera llegar a más, lo máximo, lo más alto: moderno.

You weren't supposed to break treaties; you were supposed to force the other party to break them.

Seek ye first the kingdom of heaven, and function within God’s righteousness, and all else will be added unto you. The Kingdom of Heaven = Alpha God’s righteousness = doing what God wants - on earth as it is in heaven All else = everything you need, plus a little bit more. If you need a million dollars, he says, it is easy to get it: Just give 10 million dollars worth of service to humanity, and if you need a million dollars, you’ll get it.

These groups were a new kind of vehicle: a hive or colony of close genetic relatives, which functioned as a unit (e.g., in foraging and fighting) and reproduced as a unit. These are the motorboating sisters in my example, taking advantage of technological innovations and mechanical engineering that had never before existed. It was another transition. Another kind of group began to function as though it were a single organism, and the genes that got to ride around in colonies crushed the genes that couldn’t “get it together” and rode around in the bodies of more selfish and solitary insects. The colonial insects represent just 2 percent of all insect species, but in a short period of time they claimed the best feeding and breeding sites for themselves, pushed their competitors to marginal grounds, and changed most of the Earth’s terrestrial ecosystems (for example, by enabling the evolution of flowering plants, which need pollinators).43 Now they’re the majority, by weight, of all insects on Earth. What about human beings? Since ancient times, people have likened human societies to beehives. But is this just a loose analogy? If you map the queen of the hive onto the queen or king of a city-state, then yes, it’s loose. A hive or colony has no ruler, no boss. The queen is just the ovary. But if we simply ask whether humans went through the same evolutionary process as bees—a major transition from selfish individualism to groupish hives that prosper when they find a way to suppress free riding—then the analogy gets much tighter. Many animals are social: they live in groups, flocks, or herds. But only a few animals have crossed the threshold and become ultrasocial, which means that they live in very large groups that have some internal structure, enabling them to reap the benefits of the division of labor.44 Beehives and ant nests, with their separate castes of soldiers, scouts, and nursery attendants, are examples of ultrasociality, and so are human societies. One of the key features that has helped all the nonhuman ultra-socials to cross over appears to be the need to defend a shared nest. The biologists Bert Hölldobler and E. O. Wilson summarize the recent finding that ultrasociality (also called “eusociality”)45 is found among a few species of shrimp, aphids, thrips, and beetles, as well as among wasps, bees, ants, and termites: In all the known [species that] display the earliest stages of eusociality, their behavior protects a persistent, defensible resource from predators, parasites, or competitors. The resource is invariably a nest plus dependable food within foraging range of the nest inhabitants.46 Hölldobler and Wilson give supporting roles to two other factors: the need to feed offspring over an extended period (which gives an advantage to species that can recruit siblings or males to help out Mom) and intergroup conflict. All three of these factors applied to those first early wasps camped out together in defensible naturally occurring nests (such as holes in trees). From that point on, the most cooperative groups got to keep the best nesting sites, which they then modified in increasingly elaborate ways to make themselves even more productive and more protected. Their descendants include the honeybees we know today, whose hives have been described as “a factory inside a fortress.”47

Mas, se vosso hóspede quer ainda caça mais supimpa e fina, se busca o non plus ultra, o xispeteó, o supra-sumo, o prazer dos deuses, por que então não lhe servir uma viúva, bonita e moça, cozinhada em suas lágrimas de nojo e solidão no molho de seu recato e luto, nos ais de sua carência, no fogo do seu desejo proibido, que lhe dá gosto de culpa e de pecado? Ai, eu sei de uma viúva assim, de malagueta e mel, em fogo lento cada noite cozinhada, no ponto exato para ser servida.

Forget the stiff punches, or the hardcore bloodlettings, or the shoot interviews: This is the ne plus ultra of reality in wrestling. The enlightened wrestling fan has likely spent significant amounts of time explaining to nonviewers that even though wrestling is staged, it’s not fake—that no amount of planning, no amount of scripting, no amount of physical trickery or assisted landing, no amount of ring elasticity or floor mat cushion can remotely assuage the physical assault of an average wrestling match. Every night on the road ends with ice bags or painkillers or just plain old pain, the unrelenting kind, the “you sit down in your rental car and electric voltage shoots up your spine” kind of pain, and so what, you get in your car anyway and drive to the next town and work another match tomorrow night and the fans cheer but they don’t know. And you get two or three days off after tomorrow or the next day, and let’s hope to God that’s enough to get you right, because then it starts all over again. And then again next week, and then for months, and if you’re lucky—imagine that word, here of all places—if you’re lucky it’ll keep going for years. And there’s no off-season, no prolonged downtime unless, God forbid, you’re seriously injured. That’s reality. Fans will try to explain this to people, but wrestlers themselves are, for the most part, too proud—or too committed to the facade—to explain it to anyone, and it’s this kind of pride, this commitment, that leads to a functional code of silence, even within the locker room, even among friends, and so to painkiller abuse, to alcohol abuse to take the edge off, to illicit drug use to get you going afterward, out of the fog of painkillers and beer. This is reality. Wrestling fans can explain this, but who can put into words the pain of working a wrestling match in which you’re in so much pain that you don’t want to be touched but you’re too proud not to go through with it? When your livelihood is your body and your body is betraying you? Best-case scenario, working a match in that shape is a cry for help.

Vadinho reunira para Flor o melhor de quanto existia. Trouxera o magrelo Carlinhos Mascarenhas, o cavaquinho de ouro; fora buscá-lo no castelo de Carla, no aconchegado leito de Marianinha Pentelhuda. Ao violino, via-se a figura popular de Edgard Cocô, o non-plus-ultra, igual só no Rio de Janeiro ou nas estranjeras. Soprava a flauta - e com a dignidade e maestria! - o bacharel em direito Walter da Silveira; Vadinho o arrancara de cima dos livros, pois, recém-formado, prepavarava-se a fundo para concurso de magistrado; em breve, escolhido meretíssimo juiz, não mais exibiria em público sua insigne flauta, privando as massas de celestial deleite. Quanto ao violão, dedilhava-o um moço querido de toda a gente por sua educação e alegria, seu jeito modesto e ao mesmo tempo fidalgo, sua competência no beber, sua finura de trato, e sua música: a qualidade única de seu violão, dele e de mais ninguém, e sua voz de mistério e picardia. Um retado. Aparecera ultimamente e a tocar e a cantar no rádio, e já o sucesso o cercava. Repetia-se seu nome, Dorival Caymmi, e os íntimos divulgadas, o moreno ficaria célebre.

Why should I write to the newspapers instead of to the machines themselves, why not summon a monster meeting of machines, place the steam engine in the chair, and hold a council of war?” asked the anonymous “mad correspondent.” “I answer, the time is not yet ripe for this. . . . Our plan is to turn man’s besotted enthusiasm to our own advantage, to make him develop us to the utmost, and find himself enslaved unawares. “My object is to do my humble share towards pointing out what is the ultimatum, the ne plus ultra of perfection in mechanized development,” the writer continued, “even though that end be so far off that only a Darwinian posterity can arrive at it. I therefore venture to suggest that we declare machinery and the general development of the human race to be well and effectually completed when—when—when—Like the woman in white, I had almost committed myself of my secret. Nay, this is telling too much. I must content myself with disclosing something less than the whole. I will give a great step, but not the last. We will say then that a considerable advance has been made in mechanical development, when all men, in all places, without any loss of time, are cognizant through their senses, of all that they desire to be cognizant of in all other places, at a low rate of charge, so that the back country squatter may hear his wool sold in London and deal with the buyer himself—may sit in his own chair in a back country hut and hear the performance of Israel in Ægypt at Exeter Hall—may taste an ice on the Rakaia, which he is paying for and receiving in the Italian opera house Covent garden. Multiply instance ad libitum—this is the grand annihilation of time and place which we are all striving for, and which in one small part we have been permitted to see actually realised.”67 This letter, bearing the stamp of Samuel Butler in style if not in name, was signed “Lunaticus.” One hundred years after Erasmus Darwin gathered his circle of Lunaticks in the English Midlands, a strand of telegraph wire was uncoiled at the antipodes of the earth. Sparked by the transit of a few pulses of electromagnetic code over this embryonic fragment of a net, Samuel Butler foresaw the evolution, perhaps not so far off as he imagined, of that phenomenon, somewhere between mechanism and organism, now manifested as the World Wide Web.

I feel like a circus monkey being forced to perform for other monkeys.

To put it another way, if they were dropping as fast as they were in All Quiet on the Western Front, things would be pretty much like the title of the movie - all quiet.

Roumanie : pays (lointain) de l'est dont on entend parler de temps à autres, le plus souvent concernant des sujets (ultra) sensibles (ici et là). La Roumanie a rejoint l'union européenne en 2007, mais n'est pas encore dans la zone euro ni dans l'espace Schengen. Elle est confrontée à une crise qui semble bien installée. Les mesures d'austérité (salaires moyens net maintenu à 330 euros, hausse de la TVA, baisse des retraites…) se multiplient et pèsent lourdement sur la vie des Roumains ; le système social et sanitaire est en dégradation constante ; les intellectuels et chercheurs quittent le pays, pendant que d'autres, que l'on surnomme les cueilleurs de fraises, partent travailler en Italie ou en Espagne. [...] Mais la Roumanie est un pays qui mérite d'être visité, entendu, lu… car elle est le pays de l'ambivalence, des extrêmes, les patients, de l'endurance… un pays que certains haïssent et d'autres adorent. En ce qui me concerne, j'aime Bucarest la "mal-aimée", j'aime son peuple généreux et courageux, j'aime son architecture, j'aime sa vie culturelle éclectique, j'aime sa folie… tout ce que les photos d'Ileana Partenie traduisent si bien. Et j'aime sa littérature.

À Ion Ghica, Jassy 2 janvier 1861, Mon cher vieux, Les chasse-neige et les dégels m’ont retenu jusqu’à ce jour dans cette maudite ville de Jassy qui depuis deux ans prend un caractère de ville de province à faire crisper les séparatistes. Voici déjà deux mois que ma valise est faite et que j’attends un caprice favorable du baromètre pour me mettre en route, mais pendant que cet instrument fallacieux indique le beau fixe, il pleut, il neige, il vente, il gèle, il dégèle, bref il fait un temps ultra. Force m’a été donc de m’armer de patience et de fourrure pour attendre un moment plus opportun, car la Galicie m’inspire des terreurs de 1793. J’ai profité de ce contretemps pour revoir le Prince, avec lequel j’ai longuement parlé de toi. Je ne rapporterai pas tout ce que le Prince m’a dit de flatteur sur ton compte, je crois devoir te faire part de son étonnement à la vue d’un certain rapprochement qui se serait produit dernièrement entre toi et les Bratiano et consorts. Un pareil accouplement est-il possible ? Je déclare que non, car si l’on a vu s'accoupler des carpes avec des lapins (la chose est encore en doute dans le monde la science) on n'a pas encore vu se produire ce phénomène monstrueux entre des hommes sensés comme toi et des sauteurs burlesques comme les Berlikoko et Jean Bratiano. La politique serait-elle donc une entremetteuse aussi adroite ? J’ai appris aussi que notre ami Balaciano serait monté actuellement au plus haut degré de l’échelle de la colère au sujet de la question hongroise. Voudrait-il par hasard que le Prince se rendît solidaire des mouvements magyars au détriment probable des intérêts roumains de la Transylvaine ? Le Prince n’est pas le geôlier de l’Autriche et certainement son gouvernement ne commettra jamais l’infamie de rendre les émigrés hongrois aux autorités autrichiennes. Mais est-ce à dire pour cela qu’il jette son va-tout en l’air, au risque de compromettre la situation politique du pays ? Quoiqu’il en soit Balaciano peut compter que rien ne sera entrepris contre l'honneur et les véritables intérêts des Principautés. Il répondra à cela des choses spirituelles, tant mieux pour lui, plus il évacuera de l’esprit, et plus il sera soulagé ! J’ai envoyé, comme tu sais, plusieurs pièces de théâtre à Millo. Qu’en a-t-il fait ? A-t-il l'intention de les monter ? Fais-moi le plaisir de lui demander de me répondre de suite pour que ta lettre me trouve encore à Jassy. Envoie-moi aussi par la première occasion un numéro de « Păcală » où se trouve insérée « La Complainte du conservateur ». Adieu mon cher vieux je t’embrasse et te prie de présenter mes amitiés à Madame Ghica ainsi qu’à tous nos amis et connaissances. Tout à toi, V. Alecsandri.

L'adjectif shibui concerne le nec plus ultra de cette esthétique, d'une « austère qualité ». Terme complexe, intraduisible, proche de notre «raffiné», il porte à son point culminant la notion de « bon goût ». Il s'applique aux choses usuelles, à la présentation d'un mets, à la manière de se vêtir, au comportement de chaque individu. Pour qu'un objet mérite ce vocable, il doit être simple mais intéressant, exquis dans la sévérité, âpre et rustique mais non grossier, frustre et patiné jusqu'aux limites du délabrement. Les teintes douces, neutres, mates et toujours dégradées l'emportent sur la polychromie, les couleurs tranchantes et le vernis. L'originalité sans prétention et la noblesse de l'unicité ayant bien plus d'importance que le fini, aucun usinage en série n'est admissible. Enfin, la matière brute doit rester visible en l'un ou l'autre endroit de l'objet. Ce respect quasi religieux de la substance rappelle que les Japonais se sentent intimement liés aux trois règnes de la nature. Ils s'étonnent donc de voir une statue peinte, une poterie totalement recouverte d'émail, un corps dont le grain n'est pas mis en valeur. L'artiste en quête de shibui met son étonnante habileté manuelle au service d'une matière qui serait une collaboratrice traitée en égale. (Hors du Japon, seuls les Scandinaves appliquent à la lettre ce dépouillement esthétique. La pureté de leurs « lignes fonctionnelles » a d'ailleurs conquis bien des Occidentaux.) Ennemi juré de l'ostentation, il ne veut pas d'une beauté qui se révèle au premier coup d'œil, car on se lasse plus rapidement d'une satisfaction trop aisée, d'un plaisir immédiat que des joies sereines d'une lente découverte. Péjoratifs en Occident, les mots terne, usé, imparfait, déterminent au contraire l'excellence d'un objet shibui. Le brin de paille dans une céramique, un émail craquelé, l'irrégularité volontaire ou fortuite rehaussent l'originalité d'une œuvre parce qu'ils éveillent l'intérêt de celui qui la contemple. [...] « Les ans sont aimables pour les choses, cruels pour les humains. Mais tout ici-bas n'est qu'un bref passage entre l'éclosion et l'inéluctable anéantissement », disent les Japonais. (pp. 261-262)

If there is anything which can reconcile us to our own age, it is precisely the amount of immorality which it allows itself without falling in its own estimation — very much the reverse! In what, then, does the superiority of culture over the want of culture consist — of the Renaissance, for instance, over the Middle Ages? In this alone: the greater quantity of acknowledged immorality. From this it necessarily follows that the very zenith of human development must be regarded by the moral fanatic as the non plus ultra of corruption (in this connection let us recall Savonarola's judgment of Florence, Plato's indictment of Athens under Pericles, Luther's condemnation of Rome, Rousseau's anathemas against the society of Voltaire, and Germany's hostility to Goethe).

Last year, I stunned the endurance sports community by coming out of nowhere at the ripe age of forty-two to place a respectable eleventh overall after only six months of serious training, and that was after decades of reckless drug and alcohol abuse that nearly killed me and others, plus no physical exertion more strenuous than lugging groceries into the house and maybe repotting a plant.

There are two ways to begin a puzzle: themed, with the major answers constellating around a mini-riddle; or themeless, usually with longer clues, and no help from a little internal narrative. If I were going to create a themeless puzzle, I’d start with what constructors call a “seed patch.” Seeds are the two or three ne-plus-ultra answers of the themeless, the ones that inspired the whole thing, and without which the puzzle would have no reason to exist. A seed might be a triple or quadruple stack of fifteen-letter words. Or a seed patch might be a few somewhat unrelated but buzzy bits of a recent news cycle. Prolific constructor Brendan Emmett Quigley publishes a new themeless puzzle on his website every Monday, mostly aimed at crossword junkies for whom the easy Times Mondays don’t cut it. Quigley’s themelesses often serve as something of a digest of the latest memes.

Frente al célebre dicho de Jorge Santayana de que un pueblo que ignora su historia está condenado a repetirla queremos acabar este libro clamando: ¡no ignoremos ni menospreciemos nuestra gran historia en común, para poder así repetirla y volver a asombrar al mundo! Una vez ante el miedo generalizado del non plus ultra respondimos con valor, inteligencia y osadía, yendo «más allá» (lema de nuestro escudo) de nuestros límites. Podemos y debemos reescribir nuevas páginas brillantes de nuestra historia. No es ningún capricho. La memoria de nuestros antepasados nos lo demanda, el futuro de nuestros hijos nos lo exige.

Enjoyable is the ne plus ultra of any crossword, the “I-know-it-when-I-see-it” barometer

Death is so Final ,Yet life is full of possibilities. #Go Beyond,Plus Ultra!!

No es ciertamente un fenómeno nuevo. Se da la paradoja de que muchos extranjeros aman más profundamente a España que algunos españoles. Son personas, ciudadanos de países legalmente constituidos desde hace muchos años, separados de nosotros incluso por océanos, que sienten a España como más propia que algunos ciudadanos de apellido castellano de rancio abolengo144. Igual de paradójico resulta que tengan por lengua propia al español —sin problemas, suspicacias o complejos— aquéllos que viven plus ultra los mares, mientras aquéllos que conviven como españoles y entre españoles, al menos, desde hace cinco siglos parezcan avergonzarse de ello. Recuperar la autoestima interna resulta inaplazable no sólo por una cuestión de justicia histórica, con uno de los cinco países sin los cuales no se habría podido escribir la historia del mundo, sino por razones prácticas: los países que mejor funcionan en términos económicos y de peso en el mundo suelen ser los que tienen una autoestima mayor; sirvan de mas ejemplo: Reino Unido, Alemania, Francia, Estados Unidos y Australia (éste el más nuevo y el que más autoestima colectiva tiene).

Le goût est la qualité fondamentale qui résume toutes les autres qualités. C’est le nec plus ultra de l’intelligence. Ce n’est que par lui seul que le génie est la santé suprême et l’équilibre de toutes les facultés.
