... . The theory related to the amount of change that occurs over time has been presented in linguistic analysis as glottochronology. Although the rate of change is highly disputed by linguists there is no doubt that living languages drop and add words and mutate in other ways. Dead languages, such as Latin, do not change; the Latin taught to Shakespeare is the same Latin taught to Catholic students in parochial schools today.

... selected for." 20. In The Case of the Midwife Toad (New York, 1972), p. 30, Arthur Koestler wrote as follows: "Neo-Darwinism does indeed carry the nineteenth-century brand of materialism to its extreme limits- to the proverbial monkey at the typewriter, hitting by pure chance on the proper keys to produce a Shakespeare sonnet." In a review of Koestler's book, Stephen Gould offered the following retort: "The simile is hoary enough, but it is utterly inappropriate. Rather, our monkeys must be allowed to keep all the correct letters after each trial. Fortune and men's eyes' will soon arise." "Zealous Advocates," Science ...

When a Draconis was the pole-star, the.star f of Ursa Major was but I2 distant from it ; but the most northern star of Ursa Major, a; is now about 28 away from the present pole. Here , we must " quote Shakespeare" too, while wondering where, on earth, he got the idea from . . " It [majesty] is.a massy Wheel . Fixed on the summit 0f the highest Mount,-.

114. Collective Amnesia and the Catastrophic Basis of Soap Opera (Part I) [Journals] [Kronos]
... gross order. I suggest that my theory applies to all narrative, from the novel and play and epic poem on the one hand, to the mystery, the adventure, the Western and even children's T.V . cartoons on the other. Elsewhere, as I said, I have used it as the basis for an approach to Shakespeare.(9 ) In this paper, I will turn to the other end of the traditional critical spectrum, to less "serious" kinds of literature. I will ask if the popular soap opera, like the "great" play or novel, is one among many alternate forms of narrative developed by Western culture as unconscious collective ...

... first presentation of the double figure of Mars and Kronos. In Mexico, it stands out dreadfully in the grotesque forms of the Black and the Red Tezcatlipoca. There is a certain phase in the Great Tale, obviously, in which the wrecking powers of Mars unleash and make up a fatal compound with the avenging implacable design of Saturn. Shakespeare has, with his preternatural insight, alluded to both when he: made Hamlet warn the raging Laertes before their final encounter: Though I am not by nature rash and splenetic Yet there is in me something dangerous Which let thy wisdom fear. . . 177 But obviously there is more, and what emerges here lifts the veil of ...
117. Letters [Journals] [SIS Workshop]
... not least because it ignores the male sex drive. It is unlikely the Huns would have simply butchered so many young females. It seems to me that because they were classified by the Church as virgins they were not human but developed from humanisation of a divine tale in the pre-Christian period. An example could be the treatment of fairies by Shakespeare in A Midsummer Night's Dream. It can hardly be an accident that Cologne is not very far away from the pagan German shrine, the Horsel whilst Saxon Horsa resembles Ursula which suggests the latter was originally a goddess figure. Suddenly we are into heavenly horses once again and it may be that the legendary white horses of Vienna are a ...

... mouth and tail, and wasting and devastating the whole land." 5 This fiery monster is the comet. And Milton speaks from the same universal inspiration when he tells us: A comet burned, that fires the length of Ophiucus huge in the arctic sky, and from it's horrid hair speaks pestilence and war." And in the Shakespeare plays6 we read: "Hung be the heavens with black, yield day to night! Comets, importing change of times and states, Brandish your crystal tresses in the sky; And with them scourge the had revolting stars." Man, by an inherited instinct, regards the comet as a great terror and a great foe; ...
120. Velikovsky's Sources Volume Two [Books]
... true comparisons at all- they arise simply from the way V has edited the texts. To recap: the Maruts are Storm Gods, and the second chapter of Joel is an imaginative extrapolation of a plague of locusts. V's comparisons between the two are not unlike the comparisons drawn, by Ignatius Donnelly and others, between the writings of Shakespeare and those of Francis Bacon- the aim being to show that the latter wrote the works of the former. Thus, on WIC p.274, V writes: "The earth groaned, the meteorites- the host of the Lord- filled the sky with a battle cry over the whole space of the earth, and men ...
