Things fall apartHow about those opening ceremonies? Turning and turning in the widening gyre The blood-dimmed tide is loosed, and everywhere Surely some revelation is at hand; Let's hit some thoughts on current Olympic culture: Golden calf And how about that pale horse? Be not deceived, God is not mocked. For what things a man shall sow, those also shall he reap. For he that soweth in his flesh, of the flesh also shall reap corruption. But he that soweth in the spirit, of the spirit shall reap life everlasting. It's a spiritual war, even if you're not religious.
Meanwhile, in The Bronx:
Back in Paris, courtesy of a friend: And his connection to Olympic sports is????to put it bluntly, he's a dope ambassador. So the Olympics is now about lbgt etc. and potheads. The left ruins. . . everything. Who is watching the sporting events? WEEKEND Nice short video on good intentions vs. incentives with that C.S. Lewis quote on moral busybodies at the end. When you have a little time, read this great post and the links from Sgt. Mom: Revenge, as the old saying has it, is a dish best served cold. And revenge may not be the only – or the most dangerous – platter best dished up chilled. That would be the dish of anger – that ice-cold, sullen reservoir of fury in the hearts of every right-of-center, non-elite, law-abiding flyover-country middle American with Tea Partyish inclinations … a dish of anger ready to serve up in the wake of a just-barely unsuccessful political assassination attempt this last weekend. The linked story about Old San Francisco is especially interesting. Quotes A republic was a type of govt where majority rule was checked by sacred tenets derived from God or civilization embodied in a constitution. "Our democracy" is a type of government without sacred tenets where you make the right choice once and never again.
Music
It's part of the Moonlight Sonata, 3rd Movement. Piano Sonata No.14 "Moonlight" in C sharp minor, Op.27-2 III Movement : Presto Agitato. Such was the furor of the Moonlight’s finale that several of the piano strings snapped and became entangled in the hammers during the work’s premiere. Indeed, in the declining years of his hearing, Beethoven was known to play with a heavy hand, likely so that he could better hear the music. And here's the entire Sonata. Of course, the first movement is the one that most people learn if they start to play Beethoven, and the one that evokes moonlight: admired particularly for its mysterious, gently arpeggiated, and seemingly improvised first movement. The piece was completed in 1801, published the following year, and premiered by the composer himself, whose hearing was still adequate but already deteriorating at the time. The nickname Moonlight Sonata traces to the 1830s, when German Romantic poet Ludwig Rellstab published a review in which he likened the first movement of the piece to a boat floating in the moonlight on Switzerland’s Lake Lucerne. Beethoven dedicated the work to Countess Giulietta Guicciardi, a 16-year-old aristocrat who was his student for a short time. Without the fancy graphics, or much facial expression Here's a photo of a hotel on Lake Lucerne. Those little windows in the roof are typical of Switzerland. Often opened during the day, at least in the summertime. This photo was taken during the cold season, hence the lack of window boxes. Hope you have something nice planned for this weekend.
