The pipe draws wisdom from the lips of the philosopher, and shuts up the mouth of the foolish; it generates a style of conversation, contemplative, thoughtful, benevolent, and unaffected.

Few battle scenes are as authentic as those in Stanley Kubrick's epic 'Barry Lyndon' - based on the novel by William Makepeace Thackeray.

In the days before CGI, antique muskets & vintage uniforms were recommissioned - and every soldier had to be a real person.

Elle quitta fort peu de temps après moi Castle Lyndon, et le silence régna dans ce château, qui sous mon autorité s'était signalé par tant d'hospitalité et de splendeur (...) Les arbres de Hackton Park ont tous environ quarante ans, et la propriété irlandaise est louée en toutes petites fermes aux paysans, qui racontent encore aux étrangers les histoires de l'audace, de la diablerie, de la perversité et de la chute de Barry Lyndon.

I loved The History of Pendennis, Book 1. This is Thackeray’s semi-autobiographical Bildungsroman. As in Vanity Fair we have Thackeray’s assured and playful voice (occasionally speaking directly to the reader) describing various follies of human nature, but Thackeray’s personality is more directly present in this work. Pendennis brings to mind a better known contemporaneous Bildungsroman, David Copperfield, for comparison. In Dickens’ work we admire its endearing protagonist, the innocent humor, and its fairy tale like quality. In The History of Pendennis the protagonist is more flawed and foolish, there is more cynicism, and the humor is more often sarcastic or tongue in cheek. I find this work funnier, more true to life, and more adult. More than the plot or characters, I treasure Thackeray’s entertaining company and his penchant for skewering pomposity. I’m glad to have Book 2 yet to enjoy.

Some Victorian expressions and words:

Sate = sat

Fain = adj. pleased or willing under the circumstances; adv. with pleasure; gladly

Hard by = next to

By and by = eventually

Signify = to have significance

Excerpts:

I never knew a man to die of love certainly, but I have known a twelve stone man go down to nine stone five under a disappointing passion, so that pretty nearly a quarter of him may be said to have perished: and that is no small portion.

Up to this time, the old county families had been rather shy of our friends of Clavering Park. The Fogeys of Drumington; the Squares of Tozely Park; the Wellbores of the Barrow &c.😂

I doubt whether the wisest of us know what our own motives are, and whether some of the actions of which we are the very proudest will not surprise us when we trace them, as we shall one day, to their source.

He was so poor that he couldn’t afford to know a poor man.

We admit into our aristocracy merit of every kind, and that the lowliest-born man, if he but deserve it, may wear the robes of a peer, and sit alongside of a Cavendish or a Stanley: so it ought to be the boast of our good society, that haughty though it be, naturally jealous of its privileges, and careful who shall be admitted into its circle, yet if an individual be but rich enough, all barriers are instantly removed, and he or she is welcomed, as from his wealth he merits to be. This fact shows our British independence and honest feeling – our higher orders are not such mere haughty aristocrats as the ignorant represent them: on the contrary, if a man have money they will hold out their hands to him, eat his dinners, dance at his balls, marry his daughters, or give their own lovely girls to his sons, as affably as your common roturier would do.

A London drawing room fitted up without regard to expense, is surely one of the noblest and most curious sights of the present day. The Romans of the Lower Empire, the dear Marchionesses and countesses of Louis XV., could scarcely have had a finer taste than our modern folks exhibit; and everybody who saw Lady Clavering’s reception rooms were forced to confess that they were most elegant; and that the prettiest rooms in London – Lady Harley Quin’s, Lady Hanway Wardour’s, or Mrs. Hodge-Podgson’s own, the great Railroad Croesus’ wife, were not fitted up with a more consummate “chastity.”

Education and the Human Mind

Learning is fun. Education can be enjoyable too. But obviously, they are not the same.  C.S. Lewis wrote a great deal about learning. A master of metaphors, he brilliantly described two distinct challenges faced by educators. In The Abolition of Man, he stated “the task of the modern educator is not to cut down jungles but to irrigate deserts.”  Wheaton professor, Robert McKenzie, offers a…

A woman may possess the wisdom and chastity of Minerva, and we give no heed to her, if she has a plain face. What folly will not a pair of bright eyes make pardonable? What dullness may not red lips are sweet accents render pleasant? And so, with their usual sense of justice, ladies argue that because a woman is handsome, therefore she is a fool. O ladies, ladies! there are some of you who are neither handsome nor wise.

What do you offer in exchange to a woman for her love, honour, and obedience? If ever I say these words, dear Pen, I hope to say them in earnest, and by the blessing of God to keep my vow. But you—what tie binds you? You do not care about many things which we poor women hold sacred, I do not like to think or ask how far your incredulity leads you.
