|Switzerland becomes
United Nations member
By A.M. Costa Rica wire services
NEW YORK CITY The new session of the U.N. General Assembly opened here Tuesday with one of its first official acts, the admission of Switzerland as the 190th member of the world organization.
The 57th annual meeting of the General Assembly is taking place in the shadow of international terrorism, as the world observes the first anniversary of the Sept. 11 attacks on the United States.
"As we commemorate the tragic events of Sept. 11, 2001, we must remain focused on the fight against international terrorism and uphold our international coalition," said Jan Kavan, the new president of the assembly.
"The strengthening of United Nations instruments, including the set of international treaties combating terrorism, should be central to the efforts of the international community."
While national leaders over the next two weeks are likely to talk about what their governments are doing to cripple support for terrorist groups, the Al-Qaida network in particular, the world body took a moment at its opening session for a celebration. Switzerland, after decades of resisting membership, formally joined the organization.
With a salute to Switzerland's traditional neutrality, Swiss President Kaspar Villiger said his country's continuing adherence to that principle does not mean a neutral position on crime or terrorism.
"This is why Switzerland, following the events of Sept. 11, has redoubled
its efforts in the fight and in international cooperation," he said. "We
are acting on our conviction, which is deeply rooted in our culture, that
attacks against freedom, democracy and human rights must not be allowed
to win."
Dip in coffee prices
By A.M Costa Rica wire services
ROME The World Food Program says it is worried about the effect falling coffee prices and drought will have on Nicaragua's poorest people.
Thousands of Nicaraguan families are in the process of losing everything they own, their coffee seeds and their money, said the programs representative.
The food aid organization says families in El Salvador and Guatemala have also been hit by the falling coffee prices and drought.
Aid workers in the region said respiratory illnesses, diarrhea and skin diseases are on the rise in the coffee-producing provinces, according to international news sources.
Uribe cracks down
By A.M. Costa Rica wire services
BOGOTA, Colombia The Uribe administration has given authorities here special powers to conduct searches and make arrests without warrants under an emergency decree aimed at cracking down on leftist rebels.
Officials said Tuesday that the new rules give authorities the power to inspect homes, boats and aircraft without a search warrant and hold detainees for 24 hours before handing them over to a public prosecutor.
The new policy also makes it easier for authorities to tap telephone lines and restrict civilian movement by placing parts of the country under military control.
Uribe decreed a 90-day state of emergency last month to crack down on rebels blamed for inauguration day attacks that killed at least 20 people. The government has argued that some civil liberties must be suspended in the effort to combat outlawed groups fighting in the country's 38-year civil war.
Stadium roof blown
By the A.M. Costa Rica staff
The Eladio Rosabal Cordero Stadium in Heredia suffered wind damage Tuesday when gusts knocked down the roof over part of the bleachers.
The mishap took place in the afternoon while football players were in
a meeting nearby.
Gasoline going up
By the A.M. Costa Rica staff
The price of gasoline will go up five colons per liter, according to a decision taken by the agency that regulates prices.
The request was made by Refinadora Costarricense de Petróleo,
and the approval came from the Authoridad Reguladora de los Servicios Públicos.
Increases in gasoline prices are common and linked, in part to the structured,
continual devaluation of the colon and changes in world oil prices.
Monday is work day
By the A.M. Costa Rica staff
Monday will be a work day for most Costa Ricans. Independence Day is Sunday, but the day will not be a holiday. Only primary and secondary schools will be off Monday.
|Pacheco will halt
high-risk building
By the A.M. Costa Rica staff
The government of Costa Rica is going to prevent construction in protected zones and in areas of high risk.
President Abel Pacheco made that decision while he toured the Los Tanques section of Orosi Monday. That is where seven persons died when hundreds of thousands of cubic yards of mud poured nearly a half mile down a mountainside and buried homes Aug. 31.
Pacheco said that he would rescind a decree that has been on the books that permitted such construction. The action will take effect once published in the official newspaper, La Gaceta.
The measure we have taken is for the future, said the president. To not permit more construction in dangerous areas. In this, we are trying to be energetic.
The homes that were buried sat in a deep depression in the hillside.
Pacheco also put in a plug for reforestation to counteract landslides and similar events caused by rapid runoff of water.
Costa Rica has to understand that residents cannot continue construction in dangerous areas such as the prohibited zone less than 15 meters (about 50 feet) from rivers and residents have to stop deforestation, said Pacheco.
We cannot continue logging the summits, said the president, who added that even in Orosi another summit near the scene of the disaster is being logged.
San Carlos scene
By the A.M. Costa Rica staff
Investigators were in the midst of a complex anti-drug operation centering on San Carlos Tuesday.
Early Tuesday they arrested one man they said was the distributor of cocaine to the area by means of nearly daily trips from San José. Agents said he was the wholesale source for a large number of retail drug distributors in barrios such as San Martín, La Cruz and el Bajo del Zoncho.
Agents accused the man of distributing nearly a kilo of cocaine, mostly in the form of rocks, each week.
They were expecting to make more arrests as a result of an undercover
operation and stings of dealers.

WASHINGTON, D.C. The United States has upgraded its terrorist threat alert to the second highest level code orange indicating a "high risk" based on specific intelligence reports and analysis that point to potential terrorist attacks at U.S. facilities and interests worldwide says John Ashcroft, attorney general.
The alert was announced Tuesday at a Justice Department briefing by Ashcroft, Tom Ridge, Homeland Security director, and Robert Mueller, FBI director.
"The U.S. intelligence community has received information, based on debriefings of a senior Al- Qaeda operative, of possible terrorist attacks timed to coincide with the anniversary of the Sept. 11 attacks on the United States," Ashcroft said.
"Information indicates that Al-Qaeda cells have been established in several South Asian countries in order to conduct car-bomb and other attacks on U.S. facilities. These cells have been accumulating explosives since approximately January 2002, this year, in preparation for these attacks."
Code Orange is the second-highest of five levels of threat security and requires the U.S. government to take extra precautions at public events and to coordinate efforts with law enforcement agencies and the U.S. armed forces. It is one step below "severe risk" of terrorist attack. Access to various government installations is restricted to only "essential personnel."
Additionally, Ashcroft said intelligence reports indicate that one or more individuals in the Middle East are preparing for a suicide attack or attacks against U.S. interests. He said that the reports indicate the most likely targets of the al Qaeda attacks would be in the transportation and energy sectors, and at facilities or gatherings worldwide that are symbols of American power or security.
|President George Bush, during a visit
to the Afghanistan embassy here Tuesday, said, "the threats that we have
heard recently remind us of the pattern of threats we heard prior to Sept.
11 (last year). We have no specific threat to America. But, we're taking
everything seriously."
Vice President Dick Cheney left the White House for a secure, undisclosed location, and canceled a Tuesday evening speaking engagement, the White House announced.
"This heightened threat level has been or is being communicated to local and state law enforcement, federal agencies, members of Congress, governors, state homeland security advisors, and representatives of the private sector," said Ridge.
"The nation's homeland security advisory system provides a national framework to inform and facilitate decisions appropriate to different levels of government and to private citizens either at the workplace or at home.
"The system couples the threat level with protective measures that will be taken to reduce our country's vulnerabilities."
Ashcroft said that low-level al Qaeda operatives may view the Sept. 11 anniversary as a suitable time to lash out in even small strikes to demonstrate their worldwide presence, suggesting that unsophisticated strikes are possible.
"The specificity of some of the information and analysis has contributed to the decision to close four U.S. embassies in Southeast Asia and to elevate our security at all overseas diplomatic and military facilities," he said.
The State Department issued a notice of "worldwide caution" to Americans abroad, citing potential terrorist threats, which will remain in effect until Oct. 31, said Richard Boucher, department spokesman.
|Bush to ask U.N.
to deal with Iraq
By A.M. Costa Rica wire services
WASHINGTON, D.C. President Bush says he will call on the United Nations to deal with the problem of Iraq. But, Bush is keeping quiet about the details of his planned speech Thursday to the General Assembly.
The president says he looks forward to the speech, saying he wants to talk about ways the international community can work together to make the world a more peaceful place.
"I'm going to the United Nations to give this speech for a reason - because I believe this is an international problem, and that we must work together to deal with the problem," he said.
During a brief question and answer session with reporters on the grounds of Afghanistan's embassy, the president focused on the need to reach out to other leaders. He said he would not provide any clues to the specifics of the speech, and refused to answer directly when asked about possible military action.
Bush will stress the current regime in Iraq is an outlaw regime that challenges the authority of the U.N, said a senior administration official. The official said the president is still considering a broad range of options but firmly believes something must be done.
As Bush prepares to make his case to the U.N., Hans Blix, chief U.N. arms inspector says he has no evidence that Saddam Hussein is getting ready to produce nuclear bombs. But Blix, who briefed the Security Council in New York Tuesday, says only on-site inspections can rule it out categorically.
The chief U.N. arms inspector says he does not have what would constitute proof of an Iraqi arms build-up. But neither does he rule out the possibility. He says Iraq needs to provide more information to weapons experts, which then would have to be analyzed before anyone could be quite sure of what exists in the country.
"If I had solid evidence that Iraq retained weapons of mass destruction or were constructing such weapons, I would take it to the Security Council, report to them," he said. "However, there are many open questions. These questions need to be answered.
Many of them have not been so, and it will be one of our tasks in getting back to Iraq to discuss these issues with them."
As for satellite pictures the Bush administration says point to new and suspicious construction in Iraq, Blix says the photographs can be helpful but not conclusive.
|"One can see whether there have been
extensions, whether they are re-built, etc. But this is not the same thing
as saying that there are weapons of mass destruction," he said. "It is
precisely for these reasons that you would like to have inspectors on the
ground, so you can view horizontally, not just vertically. The satellites
do not see through the roofs."
It is not clear what the Security Council will do to toughen its approach to Iraq. One possible outcome is setting a deadline for letting the inspectors back in, with a threat of punitive action if Iraq fails to comply. Iraq banned inspection teams nearly four years ago.
Iraq continues to maintain that it is not producing weapons of mass destruction. But with the difficult history between Iraq and the United Nations, Council diplomats do not take Iraq's word as a guarantee.
At the same time, U.N. diplomats are trying to dissuade the United States
from taking unilateral action against Iraq. The Bush administration has
been debating a military strike to remove Saddam Hussein from power.
U.S. deploys anti-aircraft
By A.M. Costa Rica wire services
WASHINGTON, D.C. The U.S. military is deploying live anti-aircraft missiles around this capitol city in a bid to bolster security for the Sept. 11 anniversary ceremonies.
Donald Rumsfeld, defense secretary, ordered missiles moved from storage to a variety of launchers previously scattered around the capital, as part of an air defense exercise.
The decision to make the transition from an exercise to an actual armed operational deployment was not in response to any specific threat. But it called the move a prudent precaution intended to increase the air defense posture in the Washington area, according to a Pentagon statement.
The Pentagon said it would not disclose the actual locations of its air defense assets for security reasons. But at least one military vehicle equipped with anti-aircraft missile launchers was seen by reporters on the perimeter of the Pentagon.
The decision follows an increase in the terrorist threat warning level in the United States and at U.S. facilities worldwide.
In addition to the new anti-aircraft missile deployments in this area, fighter jets have resumed their 24-hour patrols over the capital as well as over New York City.

White House spokesman Josh Earnest read out a condemnation of Israel's latest plans for construction in East Jerusalem, just hours after President Barack Obama had received a visit from Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu on Wednesday.
The new construction, which was reportedly decided upon two weeks ago, made news because an anti-settlement activist group chose to push the story to media outlets ahead of the meeting.
Though the meeting between Netanyahu and Obama had appeared cordial, in contrast to some of the earlier meetings between the two, Earnest used strong language to protest Israel's planning decision, warning that it was a threat to the peace process and that it could alienate "even its closest allies."
In 2010, a similar row over housing contraction saw then-Secretary of State Hillary Clinton berate Netanyahu by telephone for 45 minutes.

GMC to shake-up investigation process
By Gareth Iacobucci
GPs who fall foul of the GMC face more retraining and restrictions on how they practise, in return for avoiding fitness to practise hearings.
The GMC is consulting on plans to extend the types of cases that can be concluded by 'consensual disposal', which would mean more cases being dealt with at the investigation stage.
Under the plans, GPs could agree to retraining or restricting a certain area of their practice, as an alternative to having their case referred forward for a fitness to practise panel hearing.
Paul Philip, director of standards and Fitness to Practise at the GMC, said: 'The fitness to practise procedures are there to ensure that, where a doctor's fitness to practise is in doubt, the case is investigated and dealt with quickly, firmly and fairly, without compromising patient safety.
'Exploring whether we can extend the use of consensual disposal will ensure that certain cases are dealt with in the most appropriate and proportionate way.'
The consultation runs until August 10.

As you can see, the belt is necessary unless you want to look like you're wearing a sack, a rather nice woollen sack but a sack nonetheless.
And one more photo, because there's no such thing as too many photos of a cute dog. A dog who was seen running under the house today, with a dead (at least I hope it was dead) rat in her mouth. Why my husband thought that Bonnie would just sit and watch him kill the rat in the compost bin (a rat that she has been stalking for days) I don't know.

The rivers and canyons of eastern Utah and western Colorado are enchanting places full of dramatic scenery, fascinating Native American history, mind-boggling geology and fun rapids; more wide-eye than white-knuckle.
In Dinosaur National Monument we offer four day whitewater river rafting trips on the Green River through Lodore Canyon which features a narrow passage between red, blocky cliffs and intimate little side streams and slot canyons. This is one of the best introductions to extended wilderness raft trips.
Also in Dinosaur National Monument is the Yampa River where we offer five day trips in June and early July when this free-flowing river is alive with spring runoff. The Yampa's cliff walls are smoother and paler than the neighboring Green and the canyon offers some great hiking.
Our six day trips on the Green River through Desolation Canyon travel through one of the west's most remote and isolated canyons and offer a chance to really escape and unwind. The canyon is full of reminders of previous inhabitants and offers some great historical perspective.
All trips are great for families, ideal for first-time rafters, and perfect for those who don't mind an opportunity to wonder about it all.

La Fontaine's Wicked Hermits
French writer and fabulist Jean de La Fontaine (1621-1695) composed fables and stories marked by piquant social and political themes, high-minded moral critique, and ribald caricatures of priests, monks, and hermits. His frankness got La Fontaine into political troubles and in later life he abjured his worst stories -- or feigned to. Here are some fables and stories that include hermits, portrayed as naive, selfish, vain, or wicked.
Two demons at their pleasure share our being--
The cause of Reason from her homestead fleeing;
No heart but on their altars kindles flames.
If you demand their purposes and names,
The one is Love, the other is Ambition.
Of far the greater share this takes possession,
For even into love it enters,
Which I might prove; but now my story centers
Upon a shepherd clothed with lofty powers:
The tale belongs to older times than ours.
A king observed a flock, wide spread
Upon the plains, most admirably fed,
Overpaying largely, as returned the years,
Their shepherd's care, by harvests for his shears.
Such pleasure in this man the monarch took:
"You merit," said he, "to wield a crook
Over higher flock than this; and my esteem
Over men now makes you judge supreme."
Behold our shepherd, scales in hand,
Although a hermit and a wolf or two,
Besides his flock and dogs, were all he knew!
Well stocked with sense, all else upon demand
Would come of course, and did, we understand.
His neighbor hermit came to him to say,
"Am I awake? Is this no dream, I pray?
You favorite? you great? Beware of kings,
Their favors are but slippery things,
Dear-bought; to mount the heights to which they call
Is but to court a more illustrious fall.
You little know to what this lure beguiles.
My friend, I say, Beware!" The other smiles.
The hermit adds, "See how
The court has marred your wisdom even now!
That purblind traveler I seem to see,
Who, having lost his whip, by strange mistake,
Took for a better one a snake;
But, while he thanked his stars, brimful of glee,
Cried out a passenger, "God shield your breast!
Why, man, for life, throw down that treacherous pest,
That snake!"--"It is my whip."--"A snake, I say:
What selfish end could prompt my warning, pray?
Think you to keep your prize?"--"And wherefore not?
My whip was worn; I've found another new:
This counsel grave from envy springs in you."--
The stubborn man would not believe a jot,
Till warm and lithe the serpent grew,
And, striking with his venom, slew
The man almost upon the spot.
And as to you, I dare predict
That something worse will soon afflict."
"Indeed? What worse than death, prophetic hermit?"
"Perhaps, the compound heartache I may term it."
And never was there truer prophecy.
Full many a courtier pest, by many a lie
Contrived, and many a cruel slander,
To make the king suspect the judge awry
In both ability and candor.
Cabals were raised, and dark conspiracies,
Of men that felt aggrieved by his decrees.
'With wealth of ours he has a palace built,'
Said they. The king, astonished at his guilt,
His ill-got riches asked to see.
He found but mediocrity,
Bespeaking strictest honesty.
So much for his magnificence.
Anon, his plunder was a hoard immense
Of precious stones that filled an iron box
All fast secured by half a score of locks.
Himself the coffer opened, and sad surprise
Befell those manufacturers of lies.
The opened lid disclosed no other matters
Than, first, a shepherd's suit in tatters,
And then a cap and jacket, pipe and crook,
And scrip, mayhap with pebbles from the brook.
"O treasure sweet,' said he, 'that never drew
The viper brood of envy's lies on you!
I take you back, and leave this palace splendid,
As some roused sleeper does a dream that's ended.
Forgive me, sire, this exclamation.
In mounting up, my fall I had foreseen,
Yet loved the height too well; for who hath been,
Of mortal race, devoid of all ambition?"
The ancients had a legend which told of a certain rat who, weary of the
anxieties of this world, retired to a cheese, therein to live in peace.
Profound solitude reigned around the hermit. He worked so hard with his
feet and his teeth that in a few days he had a spacious dwelling and
food in plenty. What more could he desire? He thrived well, growing
large and fat. Blessings are showered upon those who are vowed to
simplicity and renunciation!
One day a deputation from Rat-land waited upon him, begging that out of
his abundance he would grant a slight dole towards fitting out a journey
to a strange country where the rats hoped to get succor in their great
war against the cat-tribe. Ratopolis was besieged, and owing to the
poverty of the beleaguered republic they were forced to start with empty
wallets. They asked but little, believing that in a few days help would
arrive. "My friends," said the hermit, "earthly affairs no longer
concern me. In what way could a poor recluse assist you? What could he
do but pray for the help you need! My best hopes and wishes you may be
assured of." With these words this latest among the saints shut his
Whom have I in mind, do you think, when I speak of this rat, so sparing
of his help? A monk?--Oh, no! A dervish rather, for a monk, I suppose,
is at all times charitable.
A certain mountain bear, unlicked and rude,
By fate confined within a lonely wood,
A new Bellerophon, whose life,
Knew neither comrade, friend, nor wife, --
Became insane; for reason, as we term it,
Dwells never long with any hermit.
'Tis good to mix in good society,
Obeying rules of due propriety;
And better yet to be alone;
But both are ills when overdone.
Three saints, for their salvation jealous,
Pursued, with hearts alike most zealous,
By routes diverse, their common aim.
All highways lead to Rome: the same
Of heaven our rivals deeming true,
Each chose alone his pathway to pursue.
Moved by the cares, delays, and crosses
Attached to suits by legal process,
One gave himself as judge, without reward,
For earthly fortune having small regard.
Since there are laws, to legal strife
Man damns himself for half his life.
For half? --Three-fourths! -- perhaps the whole!
The hope possessed our arbiter's soul,
That on his plan he should be able
To cure this vice detestable. --
The second chose the hospitals.
I give him praise: to solace pain
Is charity not spent in vain,
While men in part are animals.
The sick -- for things went then as now they go --
Gave trouble to the almoner, I know.
Impatient, sour, complaining ever,
As racked by rheum, or parched with fever, --
"His favorites are such and such;
With them he watches over-much,
And lets us die," they say. --
Such sore complaints from day to day
Were naught to those that did await
The reconciler of debate.
His judgments suited neither side;
Forsooth, in either party's view,
He never held the balance true,
But swerved in every cause he tried.
Discouraged by such speech, the arbiter
Betook himself to see the almoner.
As both received but murmurs for their fees,
They both retired, in not the best of moods,
To break their troubles to the silent woods,
And hold communion with the ancient trees.
There, underneath a rugged mountain,
Beside a clear and silent fountain,
A place revered by winds, to sun unknown,
They found the other saint, who lived alone.
Forthwith they asked his sage advice.
"Your own," he answered, "must suffice;
Who but yourselves your wants should know?
To know one's self, is, here below,
The first command of the Supreme.
Have you obeyed among the bustling throngs?
Such knowledge to tranquility belongs;
Elsewhere to seek were fallacy extreme.
Disturb the water -- do you see your face?
See we ourselves within a troubled breast?
A murky cloud in such a case,
Though once it were a crystal vase!
But, brothers, let it simply rest,
And each shall see his features there impressed.
For inward thought a desert home is best."
Such was the hermit's answer brief;
And, happily, it gained belief.
But business, still, from life must not be stricken
Since men will doubtless sue at law, and sicken,
Physicians there must be, and advocates, --
Whereof, thank God, no lack the world awaits,
While wealth and honors are the well-known baits.
Yet, in the stream of common wants when thrown,
What busy mortal but forgets his own?
O, you who give the public all your care,
Be it as judge, or prince, or minister,
Disturbed by countless accidents most sinister,
By adverse gales abased, debased by fair, --
Yourself you never see, nor see you aught.
Comes there a moment's rest for serious thought,
There comes a flatterer too, and brings it all to naught.
This lesson seals our varied page:
O, may it teach from age to age!
To kings I give it, to the wise propose;
Where could my labors better close?
from THE MOGUL'S DREAM
This vizier sometimes gladly sought
The solitude that favors thought;
Whereas, the hermit, in his cot,
Had longings for a vizier's lot.
To this interpretation dared I add,
The love of solitude I would inspire.
It satisfies the heart's desire
With unencumbered gifts and glad --
Heaven-planted joys, of painless sweet,
Aye springing up beneath our feet.
O Solitude! whose secret charms I know --
Retreats that I have loved -- when shall I go
To taste, far from a world of din and noise,
Your shades so fresh, where silence has a voice?
When shall their soothing gloom my refuge be?
When shall the sacred Nine, from courts afar,
And cities with all solitude at war,
Engross entire, and teach their votary
The stealthy movements of the spangled nights,
The names and virtues of those errant lights
Which rule over human character and fate?
Or, if not born to purposes so great,
The streams, at least, shall win my heartfelt thanks,
While, in my verse, I paint their flowery banks.
Fate shall not weave my life with golden thread,
Nor, beneath rich fret-work, on a purple bed,
Shall I repose, full late, my care-worn head.
But will my sleep be less a treasure?
Less deep, thereby, and full of pleasure?
I vow it, sweet and gentle as the dew,
Within those deserts sacrifices new;
And when the time shall come to yield my breath,
Without remorse I'll join the ranks of Death.
from FRIAR PHILIP'S GEESE
A wood, from earliest years, his home had been,
And birds the only company he'd seen,
Whose notes harmonious often lulled his care,
Beguiled his hours, and saved him from despair;
Delightful sounds! from nightingale and dove
Unknown their tongue, yet indicant of love.
This savage, solitary, rustic school,
The father chose his infancy to rule.
The mother's recent death induced the sire,
To place the son where only beasts retire;
And long the forest habitants alone
Were all his youthful sight had ever known.
Two reasons, good or bad, the father led
To fly the world -- all intercourse to dread
Since fate had torn his lovely spouse from hence;
Misanthropy and fear overcame each sense;
Of the world grown tired, he hated all around.
Too oft in solitude is sorrow found.
His partner's death produced distaste of life,
And made him fear to seek another wife.
A hermit's gloomy, mossy cell he took,
And wished his child might thither solely look.
Among the poor his little wealth he threw,
And with his infant son alone withdrew;
The forest's dreary wilds concealed his cell;
There Philip (such his name) resolved to dwell.
BY holy motives led, and not chagrin,
The hermit never spoke of what he'd seen;
But, from the youth's discernment, strove to hide,
Whatever regarded love, and much beside,
The softer sex, with all their magic charms,
That fill the feeling bosom with alarms.
As years advanced, the boy with care he taught;
What suited best his age before him brought;
At five he showed him animals and flowers,
The birds of air, the beasts, their several powers;
And now and then of hell he gave a hint,
Old Satan's wrath, and what might awe imprint,
How formed, and doomed to infamy below;
In childhood Fear's the lesson first we know!
The years had passed away, when Philip tried,
In matters more profound his son to guide;
He spoke of Paradise and Heaven above;
But not a word of woman,--nor of Love.
Fifteen arrived, the sire with anxious care,
Of nature's works declaimed,--but not the Fair:
An age, when those, for solitude designed,
Should be to scenes of seriousness confined,
Nor joys of youth, nor soft ideas praised
The flame soon spreads when Cupid's torch is raised.
At length, when twenty summers time had run,
The father to the city brought his son;
With years weighed down, the hermit scarcely knew
His daily course of duty to pursue;
And when Death's venomous shaft should on him fall;
On whom could then his boy for succor call?
How life support, unknowing and unknown?
Wolves, foxes, bears, never charity have shown;
And all the sire could give his darling care,
A staff and wallet, he was well aware
Fine patrimony, truly, for a child!
To which his mind was no way reconciled.
Bread few, 'twas clear, the hermit would deny,
And rich he might have been you may rely;
When he drew near, the children quickly cried
Here's father Philip--haste, the alms provide;
And many pious men his friends were found,
But not one female devotee around:
None would he hear; the Fair he always fled
Their smiles and wiles the friar kept in dread.
Our hermit, when he thought his darling youth;
Well fixed in duty and religious truth,
Conveyed him among his pious friends, to learn
How food to beg, and other ways discern.
In tears he viewed his son the forest quit,
And fain would have him for the world unfit.
The city's palaces and lofty spires,
Our rustic's bosom filled with new desires.
The prince's residence great splendor showed,
And lively pleasure on the youth bestowed.
What's here? said he; The court, his friends replied:--
What there?--The mansions where the great reside:--
And these?--Fine statues, noble works of art:
All gave delight and gratitude his heart.
But when the beauteous Fair first caught his view,
To every other sight he bade adieu;
The palace, court, or mansions he admired,
No longer proved the objects he desired;
Another cause of admiration rose,
His breast pervaded, and disturbed repose.
What's this, he cried, so elegantly neat?
O tell me, father; make my joy complete!
What gave the son such exquisite delight,
The parent filled with agonizing fright.
To answer, howsoever he'd no excuse,
So told the youth--a bird they call a goose.
O beauteous bird, exclaimed the enraptured boy,
Sing, sound thy voice, 'twill fill my soul with joy;
To you I'd anxiously be better known;
O father, let me have one for my own!
A thousand times I fondly ask the boon;
Let's take it to the woods: 'tis not too soon;
Young as it is, I'll feed it morn and night,
And always make it my supreme delight.
He surely must be wrong who loving fears;
And does not flee when beauty first appears.
Ye Fair, with charms divine, I know your fame;
No more I'll burn my fingers in the flame.
From you a soft sensation seems to rise,
And, to the heart, advances through the eyes;
What there it causes I've no need to tell:
Some die of love, or languish in the spell.
Far better surely mortals here might do;
There's no occasion dangers to pursue.
By way of proof a charmer I will bring,
Whose beauty to a hermit gave the sting:
Thence, save the sin, which fully I except;
A very pleasant intercourse was kept;
Except the sin, again I must repeat,
My sentiments on this will never meet
The taste of him at Rome, who wine had swilled,
Till, to the throat, he thoroughly was filled,
And then exclaimed, is it not a sin to drink?
Such conduct horrid ever I shall think;
I wish to prove, even saints in fear should live;
The truth is clear:--our faults may Heaven forgive;
If dread of punishment, from powers divine,
Had led this friar in the proper line,
He never had the charming girl retained,
Who, young and artless, would your heart have gained.
Her name was Alibech, if I recollect;
Too innocent, deceptions to detect.
One day this lovely maiden having read,
How certain pious, holy saints were led,
The better to observe religious care,
To seek retirement in some forlorn repair,
Where they, like Heavenly Angels, moved around,
Some here, some there, were in concealment found,
Was quite delighted, strange as it may seem,
And presently she formed the frantic scheme,
Of imitating those her mind revered,
And to her plan most rigidly adhered.
With silent steps the innocent withdrew;
To mothers, sisters,--none she bade adieu.
Long time she walked through fields, and plain, and dale;
At length she gained a wood within a vale;
There met an aged man, who once might be,
Gay, airy, pleasing, blithe, gallant, and free,
But now a meager skeleton was seen
The shadow only of what late he'd been:
Said she, good father, I have much desire
To be a saint: thither my hopes aspire;
I fain would merit reverence and prayer,
A festival have kept with anxious care;
What pleasure, every year, the palm in hand,
And, beaming round the head, a holy band,
Nice presents, flowers, and offerings to receive
Your practice difficult must I believe?
Already I can fast for many days,
And soon should learn to follow all your ways.
Go, said the aged man, your plan resign;
I'd have you, as a friend, the state decline;
'Tis not so easy sanctity to meet,
That fasting should suffice the boon to greet.
Heaven guards from ill the maids and wives who fast,
Or holiness would very seldom last.
'Tis requisite to practice other things;
These secrets are, which move by hidden springs;
A hermit, whom you'll find beneath yon beech,
Can, better far than I, their virtues teach;
Go, seek him, pray, make haste if you are sage;
I never retain such birds within my cage.
This having said, at once he left the belle,
And wisely shut the door, and barred his cell:
Not trusting hair-cloth, fasting, age, nor gout;
With beauty, anchorites themselves should doubt.
Our pensive fair soon found the person meant,
A man whose soul was on religion bent;
His name was Rustic, young and warm in prayer;
Such youthful hermits of deception share.
Her holy wish, the girl to him expressed,
A wish most fervent doubtless to be blessed,
And felt so strongly, Alibech had fear,
Some day the mark might on her fruit appear.
A Smile her innocence from Rustic drew;
Said he, in me you little learning view;
But what I've got, I'll readily divide,
And nothing from your senses try to hide.
The hermit surely would have acted right;
Such pupil to have sent away at sight.
He managed otherwise, as we shall state;
The consequences, let us now relate.
Since much he wished perfection to pursue;
He, to himself, exclaimed: what can I do?
Watch, fast, and pray; wear hair-cloth too; but this
Is surely little that will lead to bliss;
All do as much, but with a Fair to dwell,
And, never touch her, would be to excel;
'Twere triumph among the Heavenly Angels thought;
Let's merit it, and keep what here is brought;
If I resist a thing so sweet and kind,
I gain the end that powers divine designed.
He with him let the charming belle remain;
And confident he could at will abstain,
Both Satan and the flesh at once defied:
Two foes on mischief ready to decide.
Behold our saints together in a hut;
Young Rustic, where a corner seemed to jut;
A bed of rushes for the novice placed,
Since sleeping on the floor had her debased,
Who, yet unused to hardships, much must feel:
'Twas best that these should on her senses steal.
A little fruit, and bread not over fine,
She had for supper:--water too for wine.
The hermit fasted; but the lady fed,
And ate with appetite her fruit and bread.
Apart their place of rest, the maiden slept,
But something quite awake the other kept:
The Devil could by no means quiet rest,
Till he should get admitted as a guest.
He was received within the humble cell;
The friar's thoughts were on his smiling belle,
Her simple manners, fascinating grace,
Complexion, age; each feature he would trace;
The heaving bosom, and the beauteous charms;
That made him wish to clasp her in his arms.
By passion moved, he bade at once adieu,
To hair-cloth, discipline, and fasting too;
Cried he, my saints are these; to them I'll pray;
From Alibech no longer he would stay,
But to her flew, and roused the girl from sleep:
Said he, so soon you should not silence keep,
It is not right:--there's something to be done,
Ere we suspend the converse we've begun:
'Tis proper that, to please the powers divine;
We Satan instantly in Hell confine;
He was created for no other end;
To block him up let's every effort lend.
Immediately within the bed he slid,
When, scarcely knowing what young Rustic did;
And, unaccustomed to the mystic scene,
She knew not what the anchorite could mean,
Nor this nor that but, partly by consent,
And partly force, yet wishing to prevent,
Though not presuming to resist his sway
To him amid pain and pleasure, she gave way,
Believing every thing was most exact,
And, what the saint performed, a gracious act,
By thus the Devil shutting up in Hell,
Where he was destined with his imps to dwell.
Henceforth 'twas requisite, if saint she'd be;
From martyrdom she must not think to flee,
For friar Rustic little sought to please:
The lesson was not given quite at ease,
Which made the girl (not much improved in wit)
Exclaim, this Devil mischief will commit;
'Tis very plain, though strange it may appear
To hurt his prison even he'll persevere;
The injury now you clearly may perceive;
But, for the evil done, I shall not grieve:
Yet richly he deserves to be again
Shut up effectually in his domain.
It shall be so, the anchorite replied;
Once more the mystic art was fully tried;
Such care he took, such charity was shown,
That Hell, by use, free with the Devil grown,
His presence pleasant always would have found;
Could Rustic equally have kept his ground.
Cried Alibech, 'tis very truly said,
No prison has so nice and soft a bed,
But presently the host will weary grow;
And here our pair soon discord seemed to show:
Hell, for the prisoner, in vain inquired;
Deaf was the fiend, and quietly retired;
Repeated calls of course must irksome prove:
The fair grew weary, when he would not move;
Her strong desire to be a saint declined;
And Rustic to get rid of her designed;
In this with him the belle agreed so well,
That secretly she left the hermit's cell,
And home returned in haste the shortest way;
But what the Fair could to her parents say,
Is what I fain would know, though truly yet;
The full particulars I never could get.
'Tis probable she made them understand,
Her heart was prompted by divine command;
To try to be a saint; that they believed,
Or seemingly for truth the tale received.
Perhaps the parents were not quite exact,
In narrowly examining the fact;
Though some suspicions doubtless might arise
About her Hell, they could not well disguise;
But 'tis so formed that little can be seen,
And many jailors in it duped have been.
For Alibech great feasting was prepared,
When, through simplicity, the girl declared,
To those around, without the least restraint,
How she had acted to be made a saint.
You'd surely no occasion, they replied,
To go so far instruction to provide,
When at your house you might have had, with ease,
Like secret lectures, just as you should please.
Said one, my brother could the thing have done;
Another cried,--my cousin would have run
To do the same; or Neherbal, who's near,
No novice in the business would appear;
He seeks your hand, which you'll be wise to take
Before he learns--what might a difference make.
She took the hint, and he the Fair received;
A handsome fortune many fears relieved;
This joined to numerous charms that had the belle;
He fancied pure a most suspicious Hell,
And freely used the blessings Hymen sends;
May Heaven like joys bestow on all our friends!
When Venus and Hypocrisy combine,
Oft pranks are played that show a deep design;
Men are but men, and friars full as weak:
I'm not by Envy moved these truths to speak.
Have you a sister, daughter, pretty wife?
Beware the monks as you would guard your life;
If in their snares a simple belle be caught:
The trap succeeds: to ruin she is brought.
To show that monks are knaves in Virtue's mask;
Pray read my tale:--no other proof I ask.
A hermit, full of youth, was thought around,
A saint, and worthy of the legend found.
The holy man a knotted cincture wore;
But, beneath his garb:--heart-rotten to the core.
A chaplet from his twisted girdle hung,
Of size extreme, and regularly strung,
On the other side was worn a little bell;
The hypocrite in all, he acted well;
And if a female near his cell appeared,
He'd keep within as if the sex he feared,
With downcast eyes and looks of woe complete,
You'd never suppose that butter he could eat.
Not far from where the hermit's cell was placed,
Within a village dwelled a widow chaste;
Her residence was at the further end
And all her store--a daughter as a friend,
Who candor, youth, and charms supreme possessed;
And still a virgin lived, however distressed.
Though if the real truth perhaps we name,
'Twas more simplicity than virtuous aim;
Not much of industry, but honest heart;
No wealth, nor lovers, who might hope impart.
In Adam's days, when all with clothes were born,
She doubtless might like finery have worn;
A house was furnished then without expense;
For sheets or mattresses you'd no pretence;
Not even a bed was necessary thought
No blankets, pillowcases, nor quilts were bought.
Those times are over; then Hymen came alone;
But now a lawyer in his train is shown.
Our anchorite, in begging through the place;
This girl beheld,--but not with eyes of grace.
Said he, she'll do, and, if you manage right,
Lucius, at times, with her to pass the night.
No time he lost, his wishes to secure:
The means, we may suppose, not over pure.
Quite near the open fields they lived, I've said;
An humble, boarded cottage over their head.
One charming night--no, I mistake 'tis plain,
Our hermit, favored much by wind and rain,
Pierced in the boarding, where by time 'twas worn;
A hole through which he introduced a horn;
And loudly bawled:--attend to what I say,
You women, my commands at once obey.
This voice spread terror through the little cot;
Both hid their heads and trembled for their lot;
But still our monk his horn would sound aloud
Awake! cried he; your favor God has vowed;
My faithful servant, Lucius, haste to seek;
At early dawn go find this hermit meek
To no one say a word: 'tis Heaven ordains;
Fear nothing, Lucius ever blessed remains;
I'll show the way myself: your daughter place,
Good widow, with this holy man of grace;
And from their intercourse a pope shall spring,
Who back to virtue Christendom will bring.
He spoke to them so very loud and clear,
They heard, though beneath the clothes half dead with fear.
Some time however the females lay in dread;
At length the daughter ventured out her head,
And, pulling hastily her parent's arm,
Said she, dear mother, (not suspecting harm)
Good Heavens! must I obey and thither go?
What would the holy man on me bestow?
I know not what to say nor how to act;
Now cousin Anne would with him be exact,
And better recollect his sage advice:--
Fool! said the mother, never be so nice;
Go, nothing fear, and do whatever's desired;
Much understanding will not be required;
The first or second time you'll get your cue,
And cousin Anne will less know what to do.
Indeed? the girl replied; well, let's away,
And we'll return to bed without delay.
But softly, cried the mother with a smile;
Not quite so fast, for Satan may beguile;
And if it were so, has taken proper care?
I think he spoke like one who would ensnare.
To be precipitate, in such a case,
Perhaps might lead at once to dire disgrace.
If you were terrified and did not hear,
Myself I'm sure was quite overcome with fear.
No, no, rejoined the daughter, I am right:
I clearly heard, dear mother, spite of fright.
Well then, replied the widow, let us pray,
That we by Satan be not led astray.
At length they both arose when morning came,
And through the day the converse was the same.
At night however the horn was heard once more,
And terrified the females as before.
You unbelieving woman, cried the voice,
For certain purposes of God the choice;
No more delay, but to the hermit fly,
Or it is decreed that you shall quickly die.
Now, mother, said the girl, I told you well;
Come, let us hasten to the hermit's cell;
So much I dread your death, I'll nothing shun;
And if 'tis requisite, I'll even run.
Away then, cried the mother, let us go;
Some pains to dress, the daughter would bestow,
Without reflecting what might be her fare:--
To Please is every blooming lass's care.
Our monk was on the watch you may suppose;
A hole he made that would a glimpse disclose;
By which, when near his cell the females drew,
They might, with whip in hand the hermit view,
Who, like a culprit punished for his crimes,
Received the lash, and that so many times,
It sounded like the discipline of schools,
And made more noise than flogging fifty fools.
When first our pilgrims knocked, he would not hear;
And, for the moment, whipping would appear;
The holy lash severely he applied,
Which, through the hole, with pain our females spied;
At length the door he opened, but from his eyes
No satisfaction beamed: he showed surprise.
With trembling knees and blushes over the face,
The widow now explained the mystic case.
Six steps behind, the beauteous daughter stood,
And waited the decree she thought so good.
The hypocrite however the hermit played,
And sent these humble pilgrims back dismayed.
Said he, the evil spirit much I dread;
No female to my cell should ever be led;
Excuse me then: such acts would sorrow bring;
From me the Holy Father never spring.
What never from you? the widow straight replied:
And why should not the blessing, pray, be tried?
No other answer howsoever she got;
So back they trudged once more to gain their cot.
Ah! mother, said the girl, 'tis my belief,
Our many heavy sins have caused thus grief.
When night arrived and they in sleep were lost,
Again the hermit's horn the woodwork crossed;
Return, return, cried he with horrid tone;
Tomorrow you'll have due attention shown;
I've changed the hermit's cold fastidious mind,
And when you come, he'll act as I've designed.
The couple left their bed at break of day,
And to the cell repaired without delay
Our tale to shorten, Lucius kind appeared
To rigid rules no longer he adhered.
The mother with him let her girl remain,
And hastened to her humble roof again.
The belle complying looked:--he took her arm,
And soon familiar grew with every charm.
O hypocrites! how oft your wily art
Deceives the world and causes poignant smart.
At matins they so very often met,
Some awkward indications caused regret.
The fair at length her apron-string perceived
Grew daily shorter, which her bosom grieved;
But nothing to the hermit she'd unfold,
Nor even those feelings to her mother told;
She dreaded lest she should be sent away,
And be deprived at once of Cupid's play.
You'll tell me whence so much discernment came?
From this same play:--the tree of art by name.
For seven long months the nymph her visits paid;
Her inexperience doubtless wanted aid.
But when the mother saw her daughter's case,
She made her thank the monk, and leave the place.
The hermit blessed the Lord for what was done;
A pleasant course his humble slave had run.
He told the mother and her daughter fair,
The child, by God's permission, gifts would share.
However, be careful, said the wily one,
That with your infant all that's right is done;
To you, from thence, great happiness will spring:
You'll reign the parent of what's more than king;
Your relatives to noble rank will rise:
Some will be princes; others lords comprise;
Your nephews cardinals; your cousins too
Will dukes become, if they the truth pursue;
And places, castles, palaces, there'll be,
For you and them of every high degree;
You'll nothing want: eternal is the source,
Like waters flowing in the river's course.
This long prediction over: with features grave,
His benediction to them both he gave.
When home returned, the girl, each day and night,
Amused her mind with prospects of delight;
By fancy's aid she saw the future pope,
And all prepared to greet her fondest hope;
But what arrived the whole at once overthrew
Hats, dukedoms, castles, vanished from the view:
The promised elevation of the name
Dissolved to air:-a little female came!

Shhh...I'm having an affair. Don't. Tell. Anyone!
So far they don't seem to know about each other. Think I'll keep it on the down low for now. Though, there's this other dude who's recently come back into my life, too. He was in lock up for a while and recently came out. I've begun messing around with him as well. What can I say? I missed him and I couldn't deny him the tender loving care he so desperately desired.
God. I'm such a whore.
Have you always remained a one manuscript at a time kinda person, or do you admit to whoring it up! Come on, CONFESS!!!
7 comments:
Sniffle. I usually only do one mss at a time - however, I edit my old flame while messing around with my new squeeze :-DReplyDelete
Generally, I can't divide my attention that way. Sometimes, I try, but I end up settling with just one until it's finished. It's so disappointing.ReplyDelete
HA--I'm a total ms whore too--HI FIVES!!! I totally go back and forth...sometimes, it even helps me drum up more enthusiasm that way! :DReplyDelete
Mel, for the love of God please tell me you're being safe!!!ReplyDelete
You are SUCH a whore. :) (enjoy every minute!)ReplyDelete
I haven't cheated in awhile myself... but I've been tempted.
I just announced a hiatus from my crit group, so that I could concentrate on Crow's Rest. And then got an email that an agent wants to call me about revisions on my first book. So I may have to say, "Sorry, CR. You'll wait for me, wont you? Even if it takes a long time?"ReplyDelete
Jenn, ha! no cheating for you. you get that sequel ready, woman!ReplyDelete
Angelica, congrats! I'm sure CR will wait. No one else can do him like you :) ha.
dang it. i had 4 other comments that got eaten when Blogger went Bonkers.Oh wells.

Color has great power over the mind and even how people react. Sometimes color can improve a mood or cause hunger. This model went all out and dyed all hair on her head. Even though this model looks astonishing with her bright red locks, she may not know that according to scientific studies, red makes men more attractive to women, and it makes people's reactions more intense. Conversely,
red is the color of winners
so this model and her stylist know a thing or two. It would be in a person's great benefit to research a couple colors and their meanings, but once armed with knowledge this hairdo could be a real head turner. There is one final caveat, most times to get color this intense; a person would need to bleach their hair to remove color. Then, add the color that will require some regular maintenance to stay bright. Even with constant upkeep, the color will naturally fade. The best way to avoid this is to get a wig and get some high quality make-up to color the brows. With the right wig, a person can be the life of the party, and in the morning blend in with a crowd. No one has to know this colorful secret. Dying your hair in an extremely bright color but require bleaching first which can be very harsh for your hair, alternatively wear a wig.

Google Contacts updated with option to send money via Google Pay Send
Although Google has yet to make any announcements, it looks like some Android users discovered the new feature is available and ready to use. A brand new "Send" icon has been implemented to the Contacts app, but that seems to have been added after a server-side update, not via Google Play Store.
For the time being, there's no option to Request money, you can just send money to any of your contacts, even though the app's teardown from last year suggested Contacts will allow users to request money, not just send them.
It's unclear if this is just a partial roll-out of the feature, but if you don't have the ability to send money via Google Pay Send yet, expect to get it very soon.

Aston Martin Introduction
When it comes to luxury sports cars, no one quite does it like Aston Martin. Although the British car manufacturer had a somewhat chequered financial history. Over the years, it enjoyed a lot of success. Robert Bamford and Lionel Martin, the founders of the company, first joined forces in 1912 as Bamford and Martin. A small business selling vehicles made by Singer Motors. After a year of selling vehicles manufactured by Singer Motors, the pair decided to begin building their own cars.
Unfortunately by the time they acquired premises at Henniker Mews, World War I broke out, and Martin was forced to join Royal Army Service Corps, putting the business on hold.
After the war, Bamford left the company in 1920. Martin decided to go ahead with the original plan and, after relocating to Abingdon Road, Kensington, he began working on new vehicles. Due to numerous issues the company struggled a lot during its early years. It wasn't until 1947 when a tractor manufacturing company, David Brown Limited, bought Aston Martin that the brand began to take off.
In 1963 the now famous Aston Martin DB5 was introduced. It is best known for being the most memorable James Bond car. The first appearance in the 1964 blockbuster "Goldfinger".
In the 1970's the company once again changed ownership due to its ongoing financial troubles. This time Aston Martin was bought by a Birmingham-based consortium called Company Developments.
In the early 1980's the company changed owners once again, well, sort of. Victor Gauntlett purchased a 12.5% stake in Aston Martin for a mere £500,000 via Pace Petroleum. Tim Hearley of CH industrials took a similar share, and by 1981 Pace ad CHI became joint 50/50 owners.
The New Developments For Aston
During the 1980's the company decided to focus on developing automotive products for other companies. They realised that it would take very long to create new Aston Martin products.
In 1988 the company decided to retire its V8 range and introduced the brand new Aston Martin Virage range. Marking the company's first launch in 20 years.
In 1991 Ford took over the company and remained in charge of Aston Martin until 2007 when David Richards, the chairman of Prodrive, purchased the company for £475 million.
Today, Aston Martin is still going strong announcing its latest vehicles. New Vantage, Vulcan and DB11.
It's the first of a series of new Aston Martin models expected in the next five years as the company is looking to replace its core sports cars with more modern models under new boss Andy Palmer.
Although Aston Martin experienced a lot of issues throughout the years, the company is still going. Whether the new DB11 is going to do well remains to be seen however if we learned anything from the company's past it's that they never give up and no matter how difficult things get they always seem to bounce back.
