Quotes Of The Day For 10 August 2003 - Trees Virgil, 70 19 BC. A fool sees not the same tree that a wise man sees. - WilliamBlake, 1757 - 1827. If I had eight hours to chop down a tree, http://www.qotd.org/archive/2003/08/10.html
Extractions: You may recall my mention last week of the back yard grass that had grown taller than I could reach. At the lowest part of the yard, this was eclipsed by a grove of alders coming up in the drain field. This week I acquired a chain saw, and with a sense of great power, brought most of those alders crashing down. I felt no guilt, alders seem to be tall weeds rather than trees, and I enjoyed the expanded view of the cedars and hemlocks behind. I also looked over to see a couple of neglected fruit trees in need of pruning, and even looked up some instruction on pruning them on the internet. All in all, I've been doing more than my normal thinking about Trees this week. Judge a tree from its fruit; not from the leaves.
Quotes Of The Day For 21 June 2003 - Summer Virgil, 70 19 BC. A perfect summer day is when the sun is shining, the breezeis blowing, the birds are singing, and the lawn mower is broken. http://www.qotd.org/archive/2003/06/21.html
Extractions: At 19:10 UTC (or what we called Greenwich Mean Time when I was young) this planet will pass the Summer Solstice. Well, I guess it's a solstice, as our subscribers in Australia, New Zealand, and South Africa will be starting their Winter. But here in the north it's a pleasant prospect, and my lawn mower is broken. Nature gives to every time and season some beauties of its own; and from morning to night, as from the cradle to the grave, it is but a succession of changes so gentle and easy that we can scarcely mark their progress.

DITTANY OF CRETE ESSENTIAL OIL "Dittany of Crete" essential oil is produced from the herb 'Dittany of Crete' (Origanum dictamnus) with distillation. Dittany's therapeutical properties were known from the antiquity and a lot of ancient philosophers and healers have reported about them (Euripides 480-406 BC, Hippocrates, Aristotle, Cicero 106-43 BC, Theophrastus, Virgil 70-19 BC, Pliny 23-79 AD, Plutarch 46-127 AD, Dioscorides, Galen and others). From Dittany cultivated in our own plantations in Crete, in co-operation with the University of Athens, we have produced Dittany's essential oil, for the first time worldwide. Dittany's therapeutical properties, according to a study performed by the International Plant Genetic Resources Institute (IPGRI),(8-10 May 1996, CIHEAM, Vallezano-Bari, Italy), are: insectifuge - anti-endemic - analgesic - anti-inflammatory - antiflu - perfumery - antirheumatic - spasmolytic - bactericide - termitifuge - fungicide - anesthetic - herbicide - antiplaque - vermifuge - antiseptic - carminative - tracheorelaxant - expectorant - febrifuge - nematicide - hepatoprotectant - prostaglandin - cicatrizing.

Extractions: On this day in 1184 BC, according to calculations made some 900 years later by the North African Greek, Eratosthenes, Troy was sacked and burned. The precise date is now regarded as pretty much a wild guess; the city itself, long thought to be as legendary, has been tentatively identified at Hissarlik, in present-day Turkey; the poetry made from the legends lives on. top of page SELECTED WORKS BY THIS AUTHOR Aeneid

Extractions: Lecture 28 Aquinas and Dante The medieval philosopher, SAINT THOMAS AQUINAS (1225-1274), was born in the castle of his father at Roccasecca, near Naples. His education began at the ancient Benedictine monastery at Monte Cassino. He went on to study at the University at Naples and received his M.A. degree in 1244 he was then 20 years old. At this time and up to 1256, we find the "Dumb Ox," as he was called, studying philosophy and theology under the tutelage of the Dominicans at Paris and Cologne. In 1256, he received his doctorate in theology and taught at Paris until 1259. For the next ten years Aquinas spent his time in various Dominican monasteries surrounding Rome. Here we find him lecturing on philosophy and theology. His special interest was the philosophy of Aristotle. By 1269, Aquinas returned to the University of Paris where he presented his lectures on a variety of theological and philosophical questions. In 1274, and while on his way to Rome, Aquinas died of fever, barely fifty years of age. All his most important writings, but especially the Summa Theologica and the Summa Contra Gentiles , were written in Latin between 1252 and 1273. I mention these details about his education because Aquinas was, like Abelard before him, a university man. He was an intellectual in the modern sense of the word.
