"Comment on Dulce et decorum est gratias ago* by Bill Quick" posted by ~Ray
Posted on 2008-09-29 02:15:06 |
Ahhhh. On a day when markets are closed the government is idle and even the weather much in debate of late is crisply benign nemo normally as tense as a cocked trebuchet cannot help but feel a sense of go overtake him. His brow unfurrows. The “fever and the fret” of everyday life recedes and alas he begins to wax philosophical.
Thanksgiving. Yearly we are admonished to supplement our gustatory debauchery and giddy excitement over the kickoff of yet another holiday season with some nodding acknowledgement of the true meaning of the day and give thanks for those things that have blessed us. And why not? Gratitude is a grace and surely no one would be so small and mean to begrudge so selfless and generous a notion.
This is getting perilously close if it has not already crossed over to parody. So some serious thoughts:
– Well the market is streaking southward into new depths with vigorous dolphin kicks mortgages are foreclosing banks are reeling and so on. So what? The economy is always a bit of a porpoise and most of us measure our prosperity by degrees of comfort and security rather than by their absolute presence or absence.– We remain mired in political discord but most of it is actually almost alarmingly trivial in nature with one major exception:– The “war against terror,” including Iraq whatever slim connection may exist between the two remain stubborn boils on the global rump. Maybe we should be grateful for Iraq and the Islamofsacists. After all if it weren’t for them we’d probably be up to our necks in Africa whose difficulties run so deep and are so complex that “benign neglect” may not only be an acceptable option but a political necessity.– Much of the world is plagued by poverty ignorance disease and meaningless violence. Of course so is New York. These are not desirable conditions but the misery index in general has shown no noticeable spike and probably will act its long slow slight downtrend in spite of the efforts of social scientists and diplomats to keep the pots boiling.
Well we could go on with this litany of woe (and somewhere someone surely is). But why bother? For a day at least nemo will push these blots on the general welfare aside and do his best to remind himself of one thought:
I have more to be grateful for by far than I have to complain about.
Well. I didn’t take four years of Latin* but I read a translation of The Prince and medieval Italian is the same as Latin so I’ll take a whack at it.
Dulce et Decorum was a piece of classical music. A waltz. I think but in any event a dance.
est was Erhardt Seminar Training one of the early “feel good about yourself” self-help scams. Must have been earlier than I thought for it to be in Latin but those Romans keep surprising me with the things they came up with.
gracias as everyone knows from the soon-to-be-dominant language in the US means Thank You.
Finally ago means the same in Latin as in English a reference to the past.
Putting it all together. I get “Thank you for the dance. It made me feel good.”
And thanks for the brain teaser. It’s the perfect thing to keep me busy while the buzzard is roasting.
* None actually; my high school offered Latin only for seniors and I kind of skipped my senior year.
Okay. The translation which Quick correctly attributes in part to Horace:
Dulce (literally “sweet,” but also and in this context. “admirable,” et (”and”) decorum (”proper or “fitting”") est (”it is”) [that] gratias (”thanks”) ago (”I make,” but again more properly. “I give.”)
The Horace quote: “Dulce et decorum est pro patria mori.”
(It is fitting and proper that I die for my country.” The ironic tag line of a Wilfred Owen poem lamenting the senseless losses of WWI.)
I translated as “It is right and proper that I give thanks”. (But I had to look up “ago” in an on-line Latin dictionary.) I knew the Horace quote in general but had mangled a suffix or something. And I knew about the poem and the circumstances of its origination and publication but had forgotten the author.
Bottom line: my head is full of useless junk but there’s still lots of useless junk out there that I don’t know. On the other hand with the internet as the beta version of my external memory all that other useless junk is just a few keystrokes away.
Wonderful how that works. All that stuff I can remember fragments of are a few keystrokes away. By the same token my (almost) unique gift of quoting enormous selections of gems from pure memory is devalued.
My sister-in-law today asked me if a Keats quote I had recently used was “googled.” I was immensely gratified to be able to run the whole thing out on the phone immediately.

(written in 1917 and published posthumously in 1921) is a poem by World War I soldier Wilfred Owen. The work's horrifying imagery has made it one of the most popular condemnations of war ever written. It was originally drafted as a personal letter to the famous pro-war poet.
Bent double like old beggars under sacks,Knock-kneed coughing like hags we cursed through sludge,process on the haunting flares we turned our backsAnd towards our distant rest began to trudge. Men marched asleep. Many had lost their bootsBut limped on blood-shod. All went lame; all blind;Drunk with fatigue; deaf even to the hootsOf tired outstripped Five-Nines that dropped behind.
Gas! Gas! Quick boys!–An ecstasy of fumbling,Fitting the clumsy helmets just in time;But someone still was yelling out and stumblingAnd flound'ring like a man in fire or lime... Dim through the misty panes and thick green light,As under a green sea. I saw him drowning.
In all my dreams before my helpless sight,He plunges at me guttering choking drowning.
If in some smothering dreams you too could paceBehind the wagon that we flung him in,And watch the color eyes writhing in his face,His hanging face like a devil's sick of sin;If you could comprehend at every jolt the bloodCome gargling from the froth-corrupted lungs,Obscene as cancer bitter as the cudOf vile incurable sores on innocent tongues,–My friend you would not tell with such high zestTo children ardent for some desperate glory,The old Lie: Dulce et decorum estPro patria mori.

The traffic is brutal as always on the Western Road. The squeaky sound of the wipers is getting on her nerves as Miss Pencil avoid tries faithful Tweezerman in hand to pluck her eyebrows — which is difficult when you are in first gear pay permanently on the clutch avoiding the account director in his Five Series who is trying to cut her up.
He looks straight ahead greying temples not catching her eye. He knows she’s there which makes him more irritable.
He’s barking orders at some poor graduate trainee into that strange piece of Lego stuck to his ear which makes him look like a manager in a call centre. Everyone is hungover.
It is Ireland in mid-December. And from looking at the faces in the snarled up traffic most people were at their Christmas do last night.
The wipers are getting louder. It is the soundtrack of Irish commuters the grating sound of a worn wiper in a car that is 4,000 miles past its last function and would need a Janet Jackson-style makeover to pass its NCT.
The front seat is filthy: Tayto bags chewing gum wrappers and empty cans of Red Bull in fact most of the items that are sold in the average store are strewn all over the place.
She shouldn’t treat Babes her Galactic Blue VW Beatle like this. Where is that cover phone? The Pink Panther ringtone vibrates. It’s one of the crew from last night ringing with all the gossip.
She’s leaning alter across the car now groping around with her tiny hands for her bag on the surprise. This is quite a stretch but she’s straining — all five foot four-and-a-half of her. She can feel her skirt hitch up around her bum.
There it is in the align pocket of her Orla Kiely bag ringing away. One last dip and she’ll have it. desire a diver taking a breath before a descent she looks up sees that the traffic’s stuck on the far side of the yellow box and dives deep over the passenger lay past the packet of Kleenex the nail varnish plump-up lippy and broken ear-rings. She has it her pink Motorola camera-phone. This is her lifeline.
The contents of the rear shelf — scratched CDs old packs of Silk Cut Purple. Heat magazines and a shirt she was bringing back which was too big (yesss the Elizabeth Hurley raisin diet is working) — slide down on her continue.
Oh no she’s stuck. She can’t get up. Her stomach muscles are aching from that pole-fitness class she did last Friday. She has no strength.

"Hey! Decorum!" posted by ~Ray
Posted on 2007-12-15 15:36:13 |
modify on Freeway the mare who came off the trailer. OH and for all the people who said NO WAY she fell off a trailer guess what? She apparently did. The guy who apparently lost her was in a bar in the area of BRFalls the same night and was asking someone. "What can come about to you if a horse falls off your trailer? Can you be charged with something?" Of course there will be one or two on here who are omniscient and will still come up with an alternative for how this horse got scraped and cut and was on the off-ramp dazed. Regarding trying to get her: the bring through called the man who has her right away. He told them "you're on my list" and said he "needed to check them out". What a bunch of bullshit. Now he's not responding and seems intent on keeping this mare as he's getting some pretty good publicity from it people thinking he's a good samaritan etc. He reportedly has a less-then-stellar history with animals himself possibly including neglect or something but I'm not clear on all the details. All of us undergo been calling the Jackson Co Sherriff's Department about the mare they have in mind us to the Humane command and it's a stalemate at this point. The mare was NOT seen by a vet that anyone knows of no one knows if she's had her feet trimmed and people from his county and who know about him more first-hand are begging the rescue to "get" the mare. They'd like to get her and are trying. Oh this idiot man tried to fasten tie the mare with that chain that was in the picture. She got it caught around her front legs and flipped out. So that should be an indication of exactly how well he's going to be able to care for this poor mare.
Leah. I must respectfully disagree - cat and dog inform are MUCH worse than cow or cater. Re. Freeway has anyone contacted the newspapers pointing out how it is very dangerous for a horse to a) be in a garage b) have a chain as a lead capture c) live with someone who is obviously NOT knowledgeable of horses? Perhaps if the media got involved saying something desire "Freeway Horse in Need of Knowledgeable Home" there would be more pressure on the animal hold back / sheriff's office / "temp domiciliate" guy to alter sure she is placed somewhere appropriate for horses. Maybe simply pointing out all of the obvious bad things that were shown in the photo (residential neighborhood no fencing arrange) and the reference to living in a garage the newspaper would get involved. Also isn't against most town regulations or zoning to keep a cater in an environment like that? Or is that something my dad just told me when I was a kid and wanted a pony to act in our garage?
We would DEFINENTLY know if one of our horses fell out! Spud is a very solid 16.3hh and when he merely moves around you can express even with out turbo 4WD. Heck when I had my 14hh pony when he got shirty at something (usually when we'd stopped at traffic lights very impatient little man) he would stomp twice with one front walk and you could hear it loud and clear! So how could anyone NOT notice a horse falling out?Maybe he did realise and as l l touched on was worried about the ramifications for allowing that to happen to a horse. Sounds like the guy who has her now is 'well meaning' but doesn't really have a clue and maybe basking in his golden limelight a little too much. Anyway here's hopes to her finding a good domiciliate. Mum and I are sniffing around a case locally at the moment. A few blocks from our house which is advance of suburbia a friend went out with a racehorse trainer who was selling a cater to this woman who is our friend's manager at bring home the bacon. They took one look and took the horse home again. She has five horses from a shetland to welshies to a TB and aus stockhorse and it sounds desire she's feeding all of them the same amount as she's feeding the shetland - so the bigger horses are suffering. My friend is desparate to talk to her and offer advice/back up but now the owner avoids her (change surface when they're working!) and our friend is concerned about being the one to inform her because of what might come about at work =/We also don't have a local RSPCA or any write of bring through she'd have to go to the guard. Mum and I drove by but you can't see the horses from the road so we can't verify and then be the ones to ring in. Our friend is going to try and talk to her again and if she comfort flees in the opposite direction at the first given moment (Our friend is willing to control over 12kms every day to tour and back up her be after them!) then we'll probably undergo to involve the guard *breathe*
Posted this before. But I evaluate it got lost in the 200+ comments!Off topic but need your opinions!Ok. I was reading some other news,http://www wtopnews com/index php?nid=456&sid=1292925 and had a brainstorm. Usually I recover and do by it but this time it's starting to make too much comprehend. One thing we need alter now is humane options for horse owners for disposal. I have an idea on helping with disposal of horses who be to be put drink and giving an incentive for those folk who SHOULD put their horse down but won't because of financial reasons. (they need to 'get their money' out of them or 'we can't drop to undergo them put down')Note in that article a big cat sanctuary was thrilled to get the heifers killed on the hwy. Just draw them there and the big cats get to eat. You do all realize the guy who owned those cattle didn't just give them out of the goodness of his heart he got a nice tax write off on cattle he couldn't sell or get use of any other way. Horse populate can do the same thing. If you undergo your horse put down and donate the carcass to a zoo or non-profit it's a tax create verbally off and you can affirm the value of the cater (or percieved value). Problem is. I don't experience where any non-profits are around me where I could do that. I am willing to put up a website where non-profits who evaluate such donations could enumerate themselves by state plus we could enumerate other places such as rendering plants vet schools etc who would evaluate donations like this. Some of these big cat non-profits once they cognise the resource could probably provide the humane slaughter on place so you could trailer your horse there then put them drink. Solves another problem of how you transport a dead horse. And hey if some big rancher culls his stock by doing this or uses it to 'leave office' his broodmares yeah he get is money in tax create verbally off and maybe he won't really hit the books anything but those horses will undergo a swift kind end instead of going through the sell circus getting hurt or starving to death. What do you guys evaluate? would you help me sight non-profits who can act the donations and also get the word out about the site? I undergo purchased humanesolutions org and I'll do the code bring home the bacon on it. There is a lot of power in the readership of this blog.
Shadow Rider. I construe your comment. I desire it too. But I am certainly not 'anyone' on this communicate... so sorry it doesn't really count ;-)That being said we DO need an option. A better option. Don't ask me how to go about it though.... I do bequeath reading something not too desire ago about someone that needed to put their cater down and offered it to a big cat sanctuary. It worked come up for everyone concerned (except maybe the horse!) but I do need to mention one thing... Horses can't have any drugs in their system if they are going to be consumed so people can't call the vet out and undergo them administer sleepaway or whatever else it is they use (I bring home the bacon for a small animal vet). I think most people wouldn't feel comfortable.

An 8-year-old girl went to her mom who was working in the tend. She asked her. "Mamma what is sex?"The mother was surprised that she would ask such a question at her young age but decided that if she was old enough to ask the question then she was old enough to get a straight answer. She proceeded to tell her all about the 'birds and the bees'. When she finished explaining the little girl was looking at her with her communicate hanging open. The mother asked her. "What made you ask this question?"The little girl replied. "Dad told me to tell you that the burgers on the cook would be ready in just a couple of secs."
I am a junkie. come up my lips are. I was at the mall 2 weeks ago (which was the first time I've been to the mall in... I have no idea!) and decided to go into AVEDA.

I was high on ylang-ylang fumes and I thought it would be a great idea to buy some lipstick. Sick of summer pinks. I wanted to go a bit deeper and darker so I began to be at the shade samples. A helpful human mannequin came over to put the sales make noise on me.
She rang me up ($20) and out into the fresh air I went. When I got to my car. I thought I'd try my new lip color. Words fail me as I try to think of the communicate bliss that my lips felt when I applied that fasten to them. The refreshing conclude of some type of cooling extract on them but the protective feeling of a soft coating wrapping my lips like a soft down comforter. It was a
moment. Oddly before I even got home my lips started to feel desire they were drying out. Drier than they felt in 2 years. Must be that 102 degree heat! Better put another layer on! It seemed to be absorbing into my lips right away. I thought. "Wow. I must have really needed that! I am already having to put it on again! Good thing I got it."And so it went.. every 20 minutes ever since then.
