Stump Art

Post by neufer » Tue Jun 11, 2013 3:40 am


Can we stump Art? Post a random subject and let's see whether Art can relate something in that post to Shakespeare. (My money's on Art!)

Posts from another thread here just to kick things off.

<<Touchstone is a fictional character in Shakespeare's play As You Like It. Touchstone is the court jester of duke Frederick, the usurper's court. Throughout the play he comments on the other characters and thus contributes to a better understanding of the play. Touchstone falls in love with a dull-witted goat girl named Audrey. William, an oafish country boy, makes clumsy attempts to woo her as well, but is driven off by Touchstone, who threatens to kill him "a hundred and fifty ways.">>

Do you think Shakespeare could have divided an ellipse into exactly equal area pie slices from one of the foci?
Just call me "geck" because "zilla" is like a last name.

The Astronomy of Shakespeare
by Elizabeth Howell on February 17, 2013

<<With all this talk lately of rocks whizzing by Earth (or crashing through the atmosphere), it’s remarkable that we didn’t even know of space rocks a few centuries ago. The first asteroid, 1 Ceres, was discovered in 1801.

Dial back a few centuries, and we were still in the realm of a perfect universe with the Earth at the center. William Shakespeare’s (1564-1616) plays are full of these references. Universe Today recently stumbled across a 1964 Irish Astronomical Journal paper replete with examples.

Shakespeare was born about 20 years after Nicolaus Copernicus, whose book De revolutionibus orbium coelestium (On the Revolutions of the Celestial Spheres) laid out the case for the Sun-centered solar system. It took a while for Copernicus’ theories to take hold, however.

While bearing in mind that Shakespeare often wrote about historical personages, one passage from Troilus and Cressida demonstrates an example of the characters speaking of the Sun following the other planets in circles around the Earth.
  • The heavens themselves, the planets, and this centre,
    Observe degree, priority and place.
    Insisture, course, proportion, season, form,
    Office, and custom, in all line of order:
    And therefore is the glorious planet Sol
    In noble eminence enthroned and sphered
    Amidst the other …
An Earth-centered solar system had its problems when predicting the paths of the planets. Astronomers couldn’t figure out why Mars reversed in its path in the sky, for example.

The real explanation is the Earth “catching up” and passing Mars in its orbit, but astronomers in Shakespeare’s time commonly used “epicycles” (small circles in a planet’s orbit) to explain what was going on. Shakespeare wrote about this problem in Henry VI:
  • Mars his true moving, even as in the heavens,
    So in the earth, to this day is not known.
However, the Bard displayed a more modern understanding of the Moon’s movement around the Earth, the paper points out. The Moon’s distance varies in its orbit, a fact spoken about in Othello, although note that Shakespeare attributes madness to the moon’s movements:
  • It is the very error of the moon;
    She comes more near the earth than she was wont
    And makes men mad.
For more examples — including what Shakespeare thought about astrology — you can check out the paper here.>>

I was going to post a picture of a bumble bee on a dandelion, but figured that would be ridiculously easy.

<<Zero Hour (stylized as ZERØ HOUR) is an American conspiracy television series starring Anthony Edwards.

The first episode aired on February 14, 2013 [Neufer's 67th birthday :!: ].
Image
Hank Galliston (Anti-ny Edwards) publishes the magazine Modern Skeptic, which focuses on the paranormal. His wife Laila buys a unique-looking clock from a boardwalk vendor. Hank disassembles Laila's clock to find a flawed diamond. With light shone through it, the stone refracts a map. Hank shows the map and its markings to Father Mickle, a priest who talks of a language that died in the 2nd century. The priest also mentions the Rosicrucians, a group of Christian mystics of the time. Arron and Rachel travel to Bavaria to find the clock maker, who wears a Rosicrucian cross. He informs them that after the Nazis created a new "eternal life", the Church appointed twelve new "apostles" that assembled in 1938 to protect the war-torn world from doom. A clock was created for each. The apostles then scattered to hide from the Nazis.

Laila Galliston [discovers] a new clue, PR642. Hank's father suggests the digits are a 1938 phone number. The physics department of Princeton University's Institute for Advanced Study, where Albert Einstein had once worked, is the new location. It is revealed Einstein was also an apostle with a clock. Hank's team and the FBI believe Einstein's partially erased blackboard contains the much-sought-after answer in finding his clock. Hank later finds Einstein's clock, and a message inside, believed to be Einstein's last words, gets decoded. The message states not only his remorse for helping creating the atomic bomb, but also his atonement by mentioning others' attempts to kill God.>>

<<It has been claimed that [Shakespeare's Sonnet 145] was originally written for Anne HATHAWAY, Shakespeare's wife. This was first proposed by Andrew Gurr in 1971. Gurr suggested that the words "HATE AWAY" may be a pun (in Elizabethan pronunciation) on "HATHAWAY". It has also been suggested that the next words, "And saved my life", would have been indistinguishable in pronunciation from "Anne saved my life". Gurr says in his work “Shakespeare’s First Poem: Sonnet 145” that Shakespeare wrote this poem in 1582, making Shakespeare only 18. “The only explanation that makes much sense is that the play on ‘hate’ and throwing ‘hate away’ by adding an ending was meant to be read by a lady whose surname was Hathaway”. He argues that because spelling was not consistent in Shakespeare’s time there is no way of knowing for sure whether it was to her or not. He does think it is plausible that such a pun on her name exists within this sonnet since he does make other puns in various other sonnets. Michael Wood agrees with Andrew Gurr in the idea of this poem being about Anne and says it would make sense for this sonnet to be about her because, “He [Shakespeare] was vulnerable. Anne was twenty-six and knew the world. Reading between the lines, she would be the rock on which he relied through his life, supporting his career in London”.>>

The fuliginous waste (hot air) turned out to be carbon dioxide, something that wouldn't be well understood until Lavoisier came along. And then he got his head chopped off. What a waste. The questionable author had no idea what breath really was.
Just call me "geck" because "zilla" is like a last name.

MOTH: [Aside to COSTARD] They have been at

COSTARD: O, they have lived long on the alms-basket of words.
. I marvel thy master hath not eaten thee for a word;

MOTH: Peace! the peal begins.

DON ADRIANO DE ARMADO: [To HOLOFERNES]
. Monsieur, are you not lettered?

MOTH: Yes, yes; he teaches boys the hornbook. What is

HOLOFERNES: BA, pueritia, with a HORN added.

MOTH: BA, most silly sheep with a HORN. You hear his learning.

Got anything for straws, grasping at?
A closed mouth gathers no foot.
