A triad of seques

1. Pondering the delights of Pisistratus Caxton in Edward George E.L. Bulwer- Lytton's 19th century novel "WHAT WILL HE DO WITH IT", I thought of my preferences for labyrinthine writing styles....not so popular with the ADD generation that requires little logical sequencing or attention to detail....I remember having read BEOWULF in middle English for a HISTORY OF THE ENGLISH LANGUAGE course during college days.......Perhaps the only current readers of such convoluted stuff are the Chinese writers of technical instruction books for the assembly of weed-whackers or the explanation of 200-multi-purpose buttons on high-end digital receivers.....in the attempt to master our language.....

2. This "reading" reminds me so much of the awkward speeches given by high school students.....as they stumble through notes about subjects of very little interest to them in the first place.....

3. "Das Volk der Dichter und Denker" do not occupy the space between inattendant rambling and  intellectual pretention; they generally hover like vacuum cleaners over carpets over floors.....

I may seem indifferent about losing my hair…..but

 I'd swap my Erte' towel for this head of hair…..

Why can't we give everything?

The penchant for Glamour but subverts our instincts, separating humanity with the sharp blades of taste, intellect and sophistication; yet, there is no returning, only the donning of subterfuge through Art, it's perfumes masking the creatures' musky odor....

CELEBRITY TRIAL AT THE HUNTSVILLE COURT HOUSE………..

 

In 1881, Bill Ryan, Jesse and Frank James robbed an Army Paymaster on the outskirts of Muscle Shoals, Alabama.   Ryan fled, but was arrested for a bar-room confrontation and ego-tripping altercation that got him apprehended. He soon implicated the James Brothers, and initiated the string of consequences that fell from his carelessness and basic stupidity....This marked the end of the James' reign of notoriety,  Jesse's assassination,  as well as a long prison term for Bill Ryan....Frank James, on April 17, 1884, appeared in the Huntsville Court House, entered the courtroom accompanied by his wife, young son, and an all-star legal team headed by veteran Huntsville lawyer, Leroy Pope Walker (who also happened to be the former Secretary of War for the Confederacy).  The prosecution was headed up by the formidable William H. Smith, US Attorney and a former governor of Alabama during Reconstruction.  The courtroom theatre-piece went on in the manner of O.J. Simpson's notorious trial....and the arch-criminal "popstar" Frank James was acquitted and released into the streets of Huntsville.... [he had also been acquitted of the only other crime that he was brought to trial for......in Missouri].  The Baptist preacher's son lived his life out, rather unspectacularly, as a burlesque show ticket-taker, tour guide of his notorious family's home and department store shoe salesman.....In parallel,  the Huntsville Court House which then occupied the block on Green Street between Eustis and Randolph Street, was demolished in 1954..... to be replaced by a parking lot.   "O quam cito transit gloria mundi"
