Today’s Birthday: ISABELLA AUGUSTA, LADY GREGORY (1852)

Isabella Augusta, Lady Gregory (1852)

Although she was born a member of the upper class, which traditionally identified with British rule in Ireland, Gregory embraced Irish cultural nationalism and became an extremely important figure of the Irish literary revival. She collected and published several volumes of Irish folk tales, wrote and translated dozens of plays, and directed multiple theater companies. The name of Irish author Denis Johnston‘s play The Old Lady Says No! refers to what incident involving Gregory? More… Discuss

 

RUSSIAN SETTLERS ESTABLISH FORT ROSS, CALIFORNIA (1812)

Located in what is now Sonoma County, California, Fort Ross was in operation from 1812 to 1841 as a trading outpost for the Russian-American Company. The southernmost settlement in the Russian colonization of North America, it was established as an agricultural base to supply Alaska. Fort Ross was the site of California’s first windmills and shipbuilding yards, and Russian scientists there were among the first to record California’s cultural and natural history. How did the Fort get its name? More… Discuss

COLCHIS

Colchis was an ancient country situated on the eastern shore of the Black Sea in what is now the Republic of Georgia. In Greek legend, it was the home of Medea and the destination of Jason and the Argonauts. Though Greek trading posts were established there with the support of the native Colchians—whose ethnic composition is unclear—the land remained independent for hundreds of years. It was situated just outside of Alexander the Great’s control. Who finally conquered Colchis in 100 BCE? More… Discuss

Ingrid Michaelson – Lady In Spain

I am a lady in Spain
I’ll sing a haunting refrain
I am a lady from Mars
And I can unscrew the stars
I can be anything that I see
I can be anything that I,
anything that I see

I am in love with a boy
Manufactured to destroy
So I shall unravel my love
Like an old red woolen glove

I can do anything I want to
I can do anything I want,
anything my heart tells me to do
Tells me to do
Tells me to do

I can be anything that I see
I can do anything I want to

I can do anything I want to
I can be anything that I,
anything that I see

Butterfly Nets-Bishop Allen

Lyrics to Butterfly Nets :

calm that wicked wind,
to pick you up 
and carry you off eastward,
though i did release you
for to seek a warmer sky

should you be blown back
know that i will always run to greet you,
still surprised to catch you
every time

armed with this small butterfly net
i will face the world alone
& never be lonely

so calm that wicked wind,
& if you go, you could be gone forever
i will play awhile here
by & by & by & by –

armed with this small butterfly net
i will face the world alone 
& never be lonely

up & up you go
for to steal the secrets of the heavens
will you share them with me
my bright & brilliant spy?

should you be blown back
know that i will always run to greet you
still surprised to catch you
every time
still surprised to catch you
by & by & by & by –
