Reading Wilde, Querying Spaces: Part 2
Oscar Wilde's Epigrammatic Theater
Oscar Wilde won his greatest literary fame in the theater, and his chosen mode of expression was the epigram a form which allowed him to flaunt his style and sophisticated mastery of life and literature. It is well known that Wilde's plays have epigrams liberally sprinkled throughout them, but it is important to realize the extent to which the epigram shapes Wilde's dramatic structure and themes. Wilde's epigrams invoke a response and then frustrate it. For example, a character in The Importance of Being Earnest While this has left Wilde open to charges of being a mere theatrical manipulator, it is in fact central to the type of theater Wilde wanted to create: a space in which the audience is allowed to recognize the rules of literary and theatrical history, and to share the pleasure of watching those rules circumvented. Wilde thus shares the pleasure of being in an elitist community with his audience, establishing an alternate aristocracy of the "ins" and "outs," with knowledge not money or birth required for membership. This is the pleasure of Wilde's epigrammatic theater. Francesca Coppa

of Soup...
Through the Ages
George Bernard Shaw, brilliant playwright, social reformer, and vegetarian, on being tasked by his biographer with writing plays without genius "I do not waste my time writing pot-boilers: the pot must be boiled, and even my pot au feu has some chunks of fresh meat in it. ...I have no time to boil myself down; and anyhow I could not do so and preserve all the necessary nutriment and the flavoring on which the digestibility depends." Marty Martindale, food writer and bon vivante: "Little is nobler than presiding over a kettle of homemade soup." Vladimir Nabokov, 20th century Russian/American novelist, writing about the memories of exiles: Memory overshadows the present and dims the future "into something thicker than its usual pea soup."

Posted by Bruce Hoult at December 25, 2004 12:17 PM I'm a lot prouder of man for bringing foie gras into existence than I am of man for getting hundreds of millions of people to eat intensively farmed chickens and pigs that live in despicable conditions - and those same people usually feel they've the right to turn their nose up at foie gras, where the goose is kept in brilliant conditions.

Entering a New Millennium
Chris Lucas
It is the calling of great men, not so much to preach new truths, as to rescue from oblivion those old truths which it is our wisdom to remember and our weakness to forget.
Sydney Smith (1771-1845) An expert is someone who knows some of the worst mistakes that can be made in his subject and how to avoid them.
Werner Heisenberg (1901-1976), The Part and the Whole
Introduction
We seem to have learnt a lot in the last two thousand years, or have we ? The pedants still argue about whether 2000 or 2001 is the 'true' millennium, wars are still fought over trivial reasons, hate, domination and greed are still the predominate human emotions. Looking back over the history of what is so often called 'civilisation' one can almost despair at the waste and the destruction that has accompanied our supposed 'climb' from the animal world - a staircase that, in Escher fashion, leads us back to where we started - as predatory and intolerant beasts, technocratic primitives Yet throughout this period, which started well before the birth of Jesus that retrospectively initiated our calendar, great minds have thrived. Inventors, thinkers, innovators and sages have lived, been recognised and died. Their influences have been many and varied, both positive and negative, both global and local. These perturbations to the flow of civilisation however have had one thing in common, and that is their apparent inability to improve the common mind, to bring

Limelight:
Anytime is tea-time
By Lubna Abdel-Aziz How would the world do without tea? Sydney Smith. The love affair between the human race and a dulcet, sweet-smelling evergreen plant is nothing short of phenomenal. It is a love story that knows no bounds or boundaries, dating back 5,000 years. This highly coloured amber beverage has been relished through the centuries, exuding sensory pleasure and bodily enjoyment. It keeps growing in popularity, defying all restrictions of taste, race, colour or creed. No wonder tea ranks as the most popular drink in the world, after water. Tea smoothes the ruffled brow of care, in cold, temperate or warm weather, but grown in different countries it varies in taste, flavour and quality. Most of us drink "Black" tea, the most popular of the three kinds of teas, the others being "Green" tea and "Oolong" tea drank mostly in China, Japan, and Korea. Tea-tasters are employed by tea producers in order to obtain the best quality of teas, but the secret of a perfect cup of tea is in the finesse of the brewing. To achieve that perfection, you have to start with the right teapot. Clay pots came into being in 1,500 and are still preferred by many tea literati. Today porcelain is used most often. During the Ming Dynasty (1568-1644) the method of allowing tea leaves to soak (steep) in hot water for a long time became general practice, and only water from specific wells was used.

GÝRÝÞ SEVÝYESÝ
Moralimin bozulduðunu belirtmek zorundayým. Geçtiðimiz günlerde, Amerika’da pazara sunulan bir yazýlýmýn eleþtirisinde okuduklarýmý aktarýyorum; “Eðer, elinizde, giriþ seviyesi olan Pentium 166 MMX iþlemcili bir bilgisayar varsa, beklediðiniz performansa ulaþamayabilirsiniz.” Geçen sene hemen hemen bu dönemlerde (1996’nýn Ekim’i), Pentium 60 iþlemcili bilgisayarýmý, Pentium 133’e yükselteceðimi, ancak, bir sene içerisinde de, MMX modele geçmem gerektiðini yazmýþtým. Buraya kadar güzel. Doðru bir tahminde bulunmuþuz. Çünkü, yaklaþýk iki ay önce, Intel, MMX destekli iþlemcileri piyasaya sundu ve biz de, Intel’in müthiþ fiyat indirimi devreye girmeden, yüksek bir bedel ödeyerek MMX 166’ya terfi ettik. Doðal olarak, mevcut ana kart’ýn MMX setli iþlemciyi desteklememesinden dolayý, ana kartý da deðiþtirdik. Bununla ilgili gözlemlerimi, “ATX” konulu yazýda aktarmýþtým. Bugün geldiðimiz nokta ise, iyi deðil. Düþünüyorum da; “Acaba, Intel, fiyat indirimine gittikten sonra, kullandýðým iþlemciyi yükseltmiþ olsaydým, bu kadar caným sýkýlýr mýydý?”. Cevabým; “Hayýr”. O zaman, makul bir bedele iþlemciyi deðiþtirdiðim için, “Ne yapalým, önümüzdeki günlerde de, olanak bulursak, biz de deðiþtiririz” deme þansýmýz vardý. Ancak, bizim yatýrýmý yapmamýzdan bir ay sonra, inanýlmaz bir fiyat indirimine gidildiðini görünce, þimdi elimizde mevcut MMX 166’yý, baþka bir modele yükseltmek, içimizden gelmiyor.

Angelica Singleton Van Buren
Island 3 Catharine Maria Sedgwick, 1785-1867
Letters from Abroad to Kindred At Home
Signed "A. Van Buren." The prolific Sedgwick was the first of the "literary domestics," American women novelists of the mid-nineteenth century who also included Fanny Fern, Lydia Maria Child, and Maria Susanna Cummins. Their works were hugely popular and known for their sentimentality and devotion to home and family, featuring heroines who struggle through domestic difficulties, improve their characters, and find true love and the inevitable happy ending. These were the writers who prompted Nathaniel Hawthorne's notorious comment, in an 1855 letter to his publisher, that "America is now wholly given over to a dd mob of scribbling women." Despite her success, Sedgwick had a fear of public attention and published anonymously throughout her career. This volume, an epistolary work which, like Cooper's, includes observations on travels in the Alps and in Italy, was published as "by the author of 'Hope Leslie,' 'The Poor Rich Man and the Rich Poor Man,' 'Live and Let Live,' etc." Grace Aguilar, 1816-1847
