The French also adapted this word to the verb "hanter" "to frequent", "to haunt", which we promptly borrowed back as English "haunt".

Shakespeare took the name of his Danish prince from Saxo Grammaticus's Historia Danica, which contained much about fratricide and incest, plus characters with Danish names of the time, such as "Amleth", "Ophelia", "Polonius", "Horatio", "Rosencrantz", and "Guildenstern". Shakespeare converted "Amleth" into a much more recognizable "Hamlet".

Within a territory (301-2), certain terms are used to describe different kinds of conglomerations or aggregations of population, sometimes known as population aggregates, population clusters or more generally as localities. In rural areas, the smallest unit is referred to as a "hamlet", which generally consists of a very small collection of houses. A slightly larger conglomeration is the "village" which is generally a small community and which may have a mainly agricultural population. A "town" or "city" is a larger conglomeration in which there are in general few people engaged in agriculture, but the point at which the transition from "village" to "town" or "city" occurs is difficult to specify and varies in different countries. The seat of government of a territory (in the sense of 305-1), is called its "capital". In a county, the place where the local government is situated is called the "county town" or "county seat". "Towns" and "cities" may be further divided into "districts" or "quarters" and for electoral purposes into "wards".

Hamlet

Hamlet is probably Shakespeare’s best known play; a tragedy of monumental depth and linguistic brilliance. The play opens to an atmosphere of darkness and confusion. The scene is Elsinore; the royal castle of Denmark, where King Claudius and Queen Gertrude’s recent marriage has followed on the heels of the late King Hamlet’s funeral. In this strange and suspicious state where mirth and dirge unnaturally mix, it is clear that “Something is rotten in the state of Denmark”.

...
In 1217, within two years after the foundation of their order, the Dominicans planted a settlement in Paris; in 1221 they invaded Oxford; and in 1274 they were in Cambridge. They were followed at Oxford in 1224 by the Franciscans, who, at the same time, appeared in Cambridge. Entering in the guise of mendicants, they speedily became possessed of valuable property, and, within fifty years of their first appearance, their magnificent buildings were the envy of the scholars of both universities. Carmelites, Augustinians and White Canons imitated the example of the Black and the Grey Friars, and their convents lined the streets of the two university towns. Franciscans and Dominicans alike flung themselves with enthusiasm into university life.
...

...
The mendicants in both universities had outstayed their welcome a full century before Chaucer launched at them the shafts of his humour, the Piers Plowman poems lashed them with invective, or Wyclif, himself a distinguished schoolman, poured forth on them the vials of his vituperation.

"The Moth" is an acclaimed not-for-profit organization dedicated to the art and craft of storytelling. It is a celebration of both the raconteur, who breathes fire into true tales of ordinary life, and the storytelling novice, who has lived through something extraordinary and yearns to share it. At the center of each performance is, of course, the story - and The Moth’s directors work with each storyteller to find, shape and present it.

Since its launch in 1997, The Moth has presented thousands of stories, told live and without notes, to standing-room-only crowds worldwide.

Moth shows are renowned for the great range of human experience they showcase. Each show starts with a theme, and the storytellers explore it, often in unexpected ways. Since each story is true and every voice authentic, the shows dance between documentary and theater, creating a unique, intimate, and often enlightening experience for the audience.

Moth stories dissolve socio-economic barriers, expose vulnerabilities, and quietly suggest ways to overcome challenges and see with new eyes.

Viola - Rose

Das "Veilchen", des -s, plur. ut nom. sing. das Diminutivum des im Hochdeutschen nicht so üblichen Hauptwortes der "Veil", des -es, plur. die -e, die fünfblätterige Blume einer Pflanze zu bezeichnen, welche einen angenehmen Geruch hat, und in den Europäischen Hainen wild wächset; "Viola odorata L." Sieh das demüthige Veilchen, welches auf der Erde kriecht und sich kaum über den Boden zu wagen scheint. Weil sich diese Blume bereits im März zeiget, so wird sie auch "Märzveilchen", "Märzviole" genannt. Andere zu diesem Geschlechte gehörige Blumen sind die "Sumpfviole", "Bergviole" u. s. f.

Der Nahme ist aus dem Latein. "Viola", nach welchem man auch im Deutschen das Wort "Viole" gebraucht, obgleich die schon gedachte kleine wohlriechende Blume dieser Art unter dem verkleinernden Nahmen des Veilchens am bekanntesten ist. ( S. Viole.) Daher veilchenblau und das Veilchenblau, eine in das rothe spielende blaue Farbe, welche unter dem fremden Nahmen violett, am bekanntesten ist, der Veilchensaft, Violensaft u. s. f.

Das Violenmoos, oder Veilchenmoos, des -es, plur. doch nur von mehrern Arten, die -e, ein blutrothes Staubmoos, welches als ein staubiges Wesen auf gewissen Steinen wächset, und wie die kleine blaue Viole riecht; Byssus Iolythus L. Die Steine, worauf dieses Moos wächset, sehen von außen roth aus, bekommen aber, wenn man sie reibet, eine hochgelbe Farbe, und riechen gleichfalls wie Violen, daher sie auch Violensteine oder Veilchensteine genannt werden.

Die Violenwurzel, oder Veilchenwurzel, plur. die -n. 1. Die Wurzel der kleinen blauen Viole, wovon aber kein Gebrauch gemacht wird. 2. Die in den Apotheken unter diesem Nahmen bekannte Wurzel ist von einer Schwertlilie oder Schwertel, welcher in Italien, besonders um Florenz, wächset, und daher gleichfalls Violenwurz oder Violwurz genannt wird, Iris Florentina L. Die Wurzel ist weiß oder weißgelblich, von außen braun getüpfelt und riecht wie blaue Violen.

Viola (Violaceae)

viola (n.) tenor violin, 1797, from Italian viola, from Old Provençal viola, from Medieval Latin vitula "stringed instrument," perhaps from Vitula, Roman goddess of joy (see fiddle), or from related Latin verb vitulari "to exult, be joyful." Viola da gamba "bass viol" (1724) is from Italian, literally "a viola for the leg" (i.e. to hold between the legs).

Viola fem. proper name, from Latin viola "the violet" (see violet).
