Alice in Wonderland
Alice in Wonderland syndrome
Lilliput sight (W3)

"Alice in Wonderland syndrome" ("AIWS"), or "micropsia", is a disorienting neurological condition which affects perception by the human eye.
Sufferers perceive objects (including animals and other humans, or parts of humans, animals, or objects) as appearing substantially smaller than in reality. Generally, the object appears far away at the same time. For example, a family pet, such as a dog, may appear the size of a mouse, or a normal car may look shrunk to scale.
This leads to another name for the condition, namely, "Lilliput sight". The condition is in terms of perception only; the mechanics of the eye are not affected, only the brain's interpretation of information passed from the eyes.
...
The disorder is named after Lewis Carroll's "Alice's Adventures in Wonderland", where the title character experiences many situations similar to those of micropsia and macropsia. Since it is known that Carroll suffered from migraines, there is some speculation that he might have written that work from direct experience.

• A book was writ of late called Tetrachordon
• A little onward lend thy guiding hand

• O Nightingale that on yon blooming spray
• Perplexed and troubled at his bad success
• So spake the Son of God; and Satan stood

• This is the month, and this the happy morn
• This rich marble doth inter
• Thus they, in lowliest, plight, repentant stood
• Vane, young in years, but in sage counsel old
• What needs my Shakespeare, for his honoured bones
• When Faith and Love, which parted from thee never
• When I consider how my light is spent
• When the blest seed of Terah’s faithful Son
• Ye flaming Powers, and wingèd Warriors bright
• Yet once more, O ye Laurels, and once more

• Adieu! a heart-warm fond adieu | Admiring Nature in her wildest grace | Adown winding Nith I did wander | Ae day, as Death, that gruesome carl | Ae fond kiss, and then we sever | Afar the illustrious Exile roams | Again rejoicing Nature sees | Again the silent wheels of time | A guid New-year I wish thee, Maggie! | Ah, Chloris, since it may not be | Ah, woe is me, my mother dear! | All hail! inexorable lord! | All villain as I am-a damnèd wretch | Altho' he has left me for greed o' the siller | Altho' my back be at the wa' | Altho' my bed were in yon muir | Altho' thou maun never be mine | Amang the trees, where humming bees | Among the heathy hills and ragged woods | Ance mair I hail thee, thou gloomy December! | An honest man here lies at rest | Anna, thy charms my bosom fire | An somebody were come again | A rose-bud by my early walk | As cauld a wind as ever blew | As down the burn they took their way | As father Adam first was fool'd | As I cam by Crochallan | As I gaed down the water-side | As I gaed up by yon gate-end | As I stood by yon roofless tower | As I stood by yon roofless tower | As I was a-wand'ring ae morning in spring | As I was walking up the street | Ask why God made the gem so small? | A slave to Love's unbounded sway | As Mailie, an' her lambs thegither | As on the banks o' wandering Nith | As Tam the chapman on a day | At Brownhill we always get dainty good cheer | A' the lads o' Thorniebank | Auld chuckie Reekie's sair distrest | Auld comrade dear, and brither sinner | Awa' wi' your witchcraft o' Beauty's alarms | A' ye wha live by sowps o' drink
• Beauteous Rosebud, young and gay | Behind yon hills where Lugar flows | Behold, my love, how green the groves | Behold the hour, the boat, arrive! | Behold the hour, the boat arrive | Below thir stanes lie Jamie's banes | Bless Jesus Christ, O Cardonessp | Blest be M'Murdo to his latest day! | Blythe hae I been on yon hill | Braw, braw lads on Yarrow-braes | But lately seen in gladsome green | But warily tent when ye come to court me | By Allan stream I chanc'd to rove | By all I lov'd, neglected and forgot | By love, and by beauty, by law, and by duty | By Oughtertyre grows the aik | By yon Castle wa', at the close of the day
• Can I cease to care? | Cauld blaws the wind frae east to west | Cauld is the e'enin blast | Cease, ye prudes, your envious railing | Come, bumpers high, express your joy | Come, let me take thee to my breast | Contented wi' little, and cantie wi' mair | Curs'd be the man, the poorest wretch in life | Curse on ungrateful man, that can be pleased | Daughter of Chaos' doting years | Dear ---, I'll gie ye some advice | Dear Myra, the captive ribband's mine | Dear Sir, at ony time or tide | Dear Smith, the slee'st, pawkie thief | Deluded swain, the pleasure | Dire was the hate at old Harlaw | Does haughty Gaul invasion threat? | Dost thou not rise, indignant shade | Duncan Gray cam' here to woo | Dweller in yon dungeon dark

Of Nerds And Words / The etymology of technology terms we know and love

Anu Garg, Special to SF Gate Published 4:00 am, Thursday, March 14, 2002

When Gulliver came across that race of brutes known as "Yahoos" during his travels to fantastic lands, who could have guessed that one day that name would be worth $200 billion on Wall Street? Coined by Jonathan Swift in his masterly 1726 satire "Gulliver's Travels", the word has come a long way in its nearly 300-year-old journey to becoming one of the best-known Internet addresses in the world. It was Swift's genius that led to several coinages from his famous book entering the English language, including "Brobdingnagian" ("something very big"), "Lilliputian" ("something very small") and "Laputan" ("impractical visionary").

"Brobdingnag" is a fictional land in Jonathan Swift's satirical novel Gulliver's Travels occupied by giants. Lemuel Gulliver visits the land after the ship on which he is travelling is blown off course and he is separated from a party exploring the unknown land. Apparently this name is a typo, as in the book prologue Gulliver calls it Brobdingrag.

The adjective Brobdingnagian has come to describe anything of colossal size.

Gulliver’s first voyage gave us a term for “tiny; miniature”. His second gave us a term for “huge”.

Die Prosadialoge der englischen Renaissance (1528-1545)
Erscheinungsformen und Strukturen

In der Dissertation geht es um die Prosadialoge, die im England der henricianischen Zeit entstanden. Behandelt werden die Autoren Thomas Morus, Thomas Starkey, Roger Ascham und Thomas Elyot. Die Dialoge sind, wie in der Arbeit gezeigt wird, zwar thematisch unterschiedlich gelagert (Politik, Philosophie, Religion und Erziehung/Sport), weisen aber strukturell allesamt auf die Funktion von Verständigung und sprachlicher Vermittlung hin. Für diese Funktion erweist sich die Dialogform in dieser politisch bewegten Zeit als ideal geeignet.

Dolly Varden - Rose

Dolly Varden
SYLLABICATION: Dol·ly Var·den
PRONUNCIATION: dl värdn

ETYMOLOGY: After "Dolly Varden", a character known for her colorful costume in the novel Barnaby Rudge by Charles Dickens.

"Dolly Varden Pie" (1872)
Apropos to the season, an exchange gives a recipe for a "Dolly Varden" pie: "Take about four yards of light dough, gather it up in tucks and flounces, crimp the edges, and fill up with fruit; then lay on the over-skirt, fasten it with buttons of dough connected with frills ...
...

Origin of the name
It appears that the first recorded use of the "Dolly Varden" name to refer to a species of fish, was to S. confluentus, now commonly known as the bull trout. This was likely due to over-lapping ranges and similar appearances among members of the two species.

...
Slang can be limited in the community of speakers who use it. Particular activities can give rise to such a special community. Surfers use terms like "gnarly" and "rad", racegoers use expressions like "bet London to a brick", and "mudlark".
...

"GNARLER". A little dog that by his barking alarms the family when any person is breaking into the house.

Ein engl. "gnarler" ist also eine "Knurrer".

Last Saturday was the 75th birthday of Popeye, a gnarly, one-eyed cartoon character who butchered the English language. The Popeye comic strip contributed several words to our language - as best I can tell, more words than any other strip except Li'l Abner.

...
"Gnarly", by the way, comes from surfing and originally referred to something dangerous or treacherous (probably something like a grizzly bear or a gun; just kidding - of course it referred to waves as you suggested, Patrick).  It was soon picked up by non-surfers with that meaning but then, as is sometimes wont to happen in English, it did a 180 degree turn and came to mean something at the opposite end of the spectrum: "cool".
...

"Gnarly" is a synonym of "gnarled". It's also a slang term that can mean "difficult", "nasty", or "cool". Drew Barrymore recently used the "nasty" sense when she spoke of someone who had "some pretty gnarly karma coming".

Bibliotheca Augustana

Ausgewählte lateinische, griechische, deutsche, englische, französche, italienische und spanische Texte, grafisch ganz exquisit dargeboten von Microsoft-Hasser Ulrich Harsch, Professor für Kommunikationsdesign und elektronisches Publizieren an der Fachhochschule Augsburg.

Der Witz dieser bibliotheca besteht darin, dass sie und auch ihr schmaler erklärender Rahmen vollständig in Latein daherkommen, eingeschlossen gute Ratschläge wie cave Gatem et Exploratorem! Wer Billem Gatem weniger cavet als der Internet-Anthologist dieses Site, hat übrigens nicht weniger davon. Die Texte sehen in Harschs Präsentation so schön aus, dass man fast denkt, der Bildschirm könnte dem gedruckten Buch vielleicht doch das Wasser abgraben.

British Paper Standard Formats
Paper Sizes

...
In 1959 the British Standards Institute adopted a standardized system of sizes for printing and writing papers. This new standard was based on the International Standards Organisation (ISO) sizes in use in most other countries.

The A B C Series of Sizes

• This practical and economical system is based on a rectangle with an area of one square metre, referred to as "AO" (841 x 1189mm). In addition there are two other series of sizes included in the system - B and C.
• The B series of sizes are based on a basic sheet size of 1000 x 1414mm ("B0") and these are used mainly for posters, wall charts and some maps.
• The C series of sizes are based on a basic sheet size of 917 x 1297mm ("C0") and is used for envelopes. These C series envelope sizes are formulated to take A series paper exactly. For example, C4 for A4, C5 for A5 and C6 for A6.
• One of the most popular envelope sizes, DL, is however an exception to this. The DL designation is derived from the German "DIN Lang", "DIN" being the German equivalent of the ISO standard, and "Lang" meaning long.

Newton-Pepys Problem

Samuel Pepys wrote Isaac Newton a long letter asking him to determine the probabilities for a set of dice rolls related to a wager he planned to make. Pepys asked which was more likely,

• 1. At least one six when six dice are rolled,
• 2. At least two sixes when 12 dice are rolled, or
• 3. At least three sixes when 18 dice are rolled.

The term "plagiarism" is used to describe a wide range of acts (Oliphant, 2002). One well-accepted definition in literature is "the presentation of another's words or ideas as your own" (Babbie, 1998).

The term, deriving from the Latin root "Plagiarius", which means "a kidnapper", was first used by Martial, a Roman poet in the first century A.D. (Kolich, 1983). Traditionally, literary theft was compared to stealing a child or a slave, highlighting the powerful relationship between artistic and biological creations (Greenacre, 1978). Since the 18 century, the term "plagiarism" is restricted exclusively to literary theft (Garfield, 1980).

Isaac D'Israeli (11 May 1766 - 19 January 1848) was a British writer, scholar and man of letters. He is best known for his essays, his associations with other men of letters, and as the father of British Prime Minister Benjamin Disraeli.
...
His most popular work was a collection of essays entitled Curiosities of Literature. The work contained a myriad of anecdotes about historical persons and events, unusual books, and the habits of book-collectors. The work was very popular and sold widely in the 19th century, reaching its eleventh edition (the last to be revised by the author) in 1839. It is still in print.

Ulysses (W3)

"Ulysses" ist auch der Name einer europäisch-amerikanischen Raumsonde, die erstmals die Pole der Sonne überflogen hat. Ulysses hat unerwartet lang durchgehalten: Während eines kompletten Sonnenfleckenzyklus hat die Sonde Daten gesammelt, zum Beispiel über den Sonnenwind und das Magnetfeld der Sonne. Nach über 17 Jahren endet die Ulysses-Mission am 1. Juli 2008.

A Smart Guide to Utopia

Utopian alphabet

Origin

St. Thomas More (1478-1535), a lawyer, writer, scholar, statesman, diplomat, political theorist and patron of the arts invented the Utopian alphabet during the 16th century.

This alphabet appears in his book Utopia, which was written in Latin and was published in 1516. The name Utopia is a pun meaning both the "good place" and "no place". The book is narrated by a traveller called Raphael Hythloday, who praises all aspects of life of the fictional country of Utopia. Hythloday's comments can be seen as an indirect critique of contemporary English society.

walrus
Was Tolkien named after walrus tusk?

...
But one strange statement did catch my eye. "Walrus" he says is a "classic example of an extremely ancient word." Well, "walrus" is cited first from 1655, so it's older than briefs or knickers, but in language terms it is modern.

The Old English word for the beast, "horschwael", is to be found in the interpolation on northern seas in King Alfred's translation of Orosius' Historiae contra Paganos. Orosius had, I presume, never seen a walrus, being a native of Spain, and living mostly in North Africa.

Mr Winchester mentions that the etymology in the OED was written by J.R.R. Tolkien and his notes on the subject exist in a book in the Bodleian library; I wish he’d said more about them. The history of the words for the "walrus" is pretty complicated and dogged by folk etymologising. There seems, Tolkien suggests, to have been a confusion between the Old Norse "hrosshvalr", a kind of whale, and "rosmhvalr", the "walrus". Then Tolkien discounts other scholars' derivations of "rosm-", and he conjectures a non-Teutonic origin, as with "morse", another word for the creature, which might come from Finnish. (Finnish lay behind Tolkien’s invention of the language Quenya.) So "walrus" is not a "classic example" in the sense of being typical.

As a diversion, I noticed that the word "rewel" means "walrus ivory", and Tolkien’s third name was "Reuel". I very excitedly wondered if Tolkien were named after a tusk, but the Oxford Names Companion tells me that "Reuel" is a Hebrew name meaning "friend of God". It is to be found in 1 Chronicles 9:8 (though the Companion erroneously says 2 Chronicles). It was not so much a walrus as a red herring. (The Spectator)

weird (W3)

..
Before dictionaries existed, English words were spelt in various ways. "Shakespeare" even spelt his own name several different ways. "The name Shakespeare is extremely widespread," says Linda Alchin, of William Shakespeare Info, "and is spelt in an astonishing variety of ways including "Shakspere", "Shakespere", "Shakkespere", "Shaxpere", "Shakstaff", "Sakspere", "Shagspere", "Shakeshafte" and even "Chacsper" as can be seen via details of possible ancestors."

Edgar Allan Poe
Werke
Englisch und Deutsch

Edgar Allan Poe (1809-1849), der Verfasser phantastischer Erzählungen wie »Der Untergang des Hauses Usher« oder klangvoller Gedichte wie »Der Rabe« war bereits zu Lebzeiten als Dichter berühmt und als Mensch berüchtigt und gilt heute als einer der faszinierendsten Autoren der amerikanischen Literaturgeschichte. Die zweisprachige Ausgabe seiner Werke enthält die bedeutendsten Erzählungen und Gedichte, das Versgedicht »Eureka« sowie den Roman »Arthur Gordon Pym«. Eine Einleitung von J. H. Ingram zum Leben des Autors liefert zahlreiche Hintergrundinformationen. Somit ergibt sich ein plastisches Gesamtbild dieses bis in die Gegenwart wirksamen amerikanischen Dichters.

Sir Arthur Conan Doyle
Sherlock Holmes
Sämtliche Romane und Erzählungen
Englisch und Deutsch

Im Original und in deutscher Übersetzung: Alle 60 Fälle von Sherlock Holmes.

Wohl kaum ein anderer Detektiv der Literaturgeschichte hat eine ähnliche Bekanntheit und Beliebtheit erlangt wie der Pfeife rauchende Exzentriker aus der Londoner Baker Street 221b. Zusammen mit seinem Freund Dr. Watson löste Sherlock Holmes seit 1887 auf brilliante Weise jene Rätsel, »die von der Polizei als hoffnungslos aufgegeben worden waren.« In insgesamt 56 Erzählungen sowie vier großen Romanen setzte Sir Arthur Conan Doyle (1859-1930) dem Meisterdetektiv ein unvergängliches Denkmal.

Die CD-ROM enthält sämtliche Fälle in der originalen englischen Fassung sowie in den deutschen Übertragungen von Leslie Giger, Gisbert Haefs, Werner Schmitz und Hans Wolf. Sie lässt so ein facettenreiches Gesamtbild des genialen Kombinierers entstehen.

Romane: Eine Studie in Scharlachrot (1887); Das Zeichen der Vier (1890); Der Hund der Baskervilles (1902); Das Tal der Angst (1915)

Erzählsammlungen: Die Abenteuer des Sherlock Holmes (1892); Die Memoiren des Sherlock Holmes (1894); Die Rückkehr des Sherlock Holmes (1905); Seine Abschiedsvorstellung (1917); Sherlock Holmes‘ Buch der Fälle (1927)

Manguel, Alberto
A History of Reading

This wide-ranging and erudite exploration of the topic of reading is suffused with the spirit of Manguel's fellow Argentinian Jorge Luis Borges. Manguel takes us through the history of reading as if leading us room by room through the infinite library Borges constructed in one of his famous stories. Manguel's approach is not chronological, but thematic. His chapter topics jump from attempts to censor reading to the physical surroundings favored by readers, from the limitations of translations to the esotericism of books written for a restricted readership. Throughout he moves easily through time and geography to quote anecdotes and examples from diverse sources. Manguel's enthusiasm, and the impressive breadth of his reading, will make his readers eager to rush to the nearest library.

Pepys, Samuel (Autor)
Tagebuch

Kurzbeschreibung
Es ist das Werk eines Mannes, der eine stürmische Zeit der englischen Geschichte mit großer Intensität erlebt und mit brillanter Feder in seinem "Geheimtagebuch" neun Jahre lang festgehalten hat. Es gibt nichts, wofür sich dieser Bürger der Metropole London nicht interessiert hätte. Vor allem die Politik hatte es ihm angetan, er war aber auch ein Theaternarr und Musikliebhaber und hinterließ einen fast lückenlosen Kalender des zeitgenössischen Londoner Kulturlebens. In seiner Begeisterung für Literatur und Predigten vermittelt er ein farbiges Bild des geistigen Lebens seiner Epoche.

Klappentext
»Königs Geburtstag und Restaurationstag. Vom Glockenläuten in der Stadt aufgewacht. Ins Büro, von wo mich meine Frau mit der Bemerkung abholt, wenn ich die schönste Frau in England sehen wolle, müsse ich sofort nach Hause kommen. Und wer war es? Die Schöne aus der Kirche, die uns neulich gegenüber saß und die jetzt geheiratet hat. Verbrachte den ganzen Nachmittag zu Hause. O Gott, welche Mühe ich hatte, der Versuchung zu widerstehen!«

Pepys’ von 1660 bis 1669 geführtes Diary gehört zu den Kostbarkeiten der englischen Literatur. In seinem Geheimtagebuch hat er mit brillanter Feder notiert, was er als Londoner Bürger in dieser ereignisreichen Zeit der englischen Geschichte erlebt hat - und es gab nichts, wofür er sich nicht interessiert hätte: für Politik natürlich, für Theater und Musik, für Literatur und Predigten, aber auch für gutes Essen und für Frauen. Pepys schildert mit unverstelltem Blick den Alltag in der Metropole und überliefert hautnah bedeutende Ereignisse seiner Zeit.
