Bastardy and Baby Farming in Victorian England: agem

A many years ago
When I was young and charming
As some of you may know
I practiced baby-farming.
-- Buttercup
Gilbert and Sullivan, HMS Pinafore, 1878

AND of course Bristowe is the old name of the town

Bristol: "The 'Bristol l' is a feature which occurs only in the immediate area of Bristol, and concerns the addition of /l/ words ending in /?/. Thus, Eva and evil will be homophones. The Bristol l is not very common and is stigmatised."

What is a Ghazal?: "Ghazal in short, is a collection of Sher's which follow the rules of
'Matla', 'Maqta', 'Beher', 'Kaafiyaa' and 'Radif'. So to know what
Ghazal is, it's necessary to know what these terms mean.

To understand these terms easily , we will take an example.

1. koi ummid bar nahin aati
koi surat nazar nahin aati
2. aage aati thi haale dil par hasi
ab kisi baat par nahin aati
3. hum wahan hain, jahan se humko bhi
kucch hamaari khabar nahin aati
4. kaabaa kis muh se jaaoge 'Ghalib'
sharm tumko magar nahin aati

What is a Sher ?
It's a poem of two lines. This definition is deceptively simple.
Please note that, every Sher is a poem in itself ! A Sher does not
need, anything around it, to convey the message.
All the 4 stanzas in our example are independent poems, Sher's.


So Ghazal is necessarily a collection of two-line-poems called Sher.
[ So the Rafi solo 'rang aur noor ki baaraat kise pesh karu' is NOT
a Ghazal, as every stanza is of 3 lines, and not 2. ]

What are other restrictions ? Many, and important ones.
[ Any collection of Sher's is not Ghazal. " ------ - - - -Classical Definition of Ghazal

Salamon Rushdie refers to this stuff in his books. before I picked up on it from there, I was ignorant about high literary culture on the Indian sub continent.

I am a pagan and a worshipper of love: the creed (of Muslims) I do not need;
Every vein of mine has become taunt like a wire,
the (Brahman’s) girdle I do not need.
Leave my bedside, you ignorant physician!
The only cure for the love-sick is the sight of his beloved –
other than this medicine is there no remedy.
If there be no pilot in our boat, let there be none:
We have god in our midst: the sea we do not need.
The people of the world say that Khusrau worships idols.
So he does, so he does; the people he does not need,
the world he does not need.

(Trans. Dr.Hadi Hasan edit HBW)

Sylvia Plath Forum: faq: "This quote comes from the book 'Monkey' written by Wu Ch'Eng-En in the middle of the sixteenth century. It is on page 23 of the penguin classics edition. It is spoken by a Patriarch who is teaching Monkey the way of long life. The full quotation is :- 'To spare and tend the vital powers, this and nothing else is sum and total of all magic, secret and profane. All is comprised in these three, spirit, breath and soul; guard them closely, screen them well; let there be no leak. Store them within the frame; that is all that can be learnt, and all that can be taught. I would have you mark the tortoise and snake, locked in tight embrace. Locked in tight embrace, the vital powers are strong; even in the midst of fierce flames the Golden Lotus may be planted, the five elements compounded and transposed, and put to new use. When that is done, be which you please, Buddha or Immortal' "

I have a not unexpected post-operative infection and a lack of confidence in my GP

Twice I asked one doctor - GP - for help and I got in a stupid argument about saving money for the National Health Service - some bedside manner they have in UK.

I think the hospital is irresponsible just washing their hands of day surgery patients post-operative care and that their post-operative infection statistics are there by being massaged too.
