Mrs. Julia Utten Browne & Cautley papers, the detailed notes and costs of the marriage Settlement of Captain Harry Llewllyn Cautley and Dorothea Julia Beatrice Gertrude Browne from 1907 – 1915. Made by the Solicitors Pomeroy and Son of Wymondham, Norfolk.
Though the marriage took place on 3rd June 1908 the complexity of the Settlement, compounded by the death of the mother Mrs Julia Utten Browne, Lilly on the 8th October 1913 and that Dorothea was a Minor at the time of the Settlement and the marriage resulted in the matter having to go before the Courts twice. Also the search for Trustees.
An extreme example of how complex and detailed such a marriage settlement could be
Sylvia Plath's legend preceded her.
At school my brother, two years my senior, had already endured a term of Sylvia Plath in English Literature. I remember him complaining about her in the kitchen as he resentfully dissected one of her poems for homework, accompanied by a deafening soundtrack of Jimi Hendrix. ‘Just a depressed bird who hated men and then topped erself.’ At my age I tended to stupidly take my older brother’s word for it on things that were cool and things that were not and so I took it as read that Plath was a subject that was not.
When I too came of age and had a pale green copy of Plath's selected poems bestowed upon me to fill with notations on symbolism, metaphors and similes I braced myself for a tough term of Monday afternoons.
Older brothers know nothing.
I took to Plath like a depressed, misunderstood teenage girl takes to, well, Sylvia Plath.
I still have my A-Level copy all covered in scribble. Phrases from her poems often pop into my mind. When I sank the knife through a cherry tomato and into my finger last week I immediately thought of Sylvia’s ‘Cut’.
What a thrill-
My thumb instead of an onion.
I then hunted out my book and read the entire poem aloud to my bloke. . . . . and I felt completely ridiculous. I started off all full of gusto and animation and then as I read on and began to lose confidence I got faster and faster and more and more monotone thinking, I’ve lost him, I’ve lost him, I’ve lost ME, I’ve lost ME!
In the classroom with a much-enthused teacher cajoling you along with him, every word and every comma seemed profound, incandescent. When read out to someone half watching Countryfile it suddenly seemed like an inadequately practised primary school assembly piece. I began to stumble over the punctuation and the rhythm and his attention was drawn to a farmer with his arm inside a cow. I finished the poem like a slalomer on Ski Sunday, crashing into the last phrase. I wandered off puzzled, he, relieved. I used to write thousand word essays on these poems and how intense they were, but that poem came out all wrong.
So while my English teacher had spent years opening young eyes to Sylvia Plath’s talent I had just repaid him by turning some glazed eyes against her.
Once upon a time I sat in a sports hall and spewed forth all that I could get out of me on Sylvia Plath’s work in one and a half hours. I have no idea what I wrote; I would love to re-read my A-Level essay. What happens to all of them? The culmination of all those years study, the most important brain purge of our lives so far and we never get to see that outpouring again. Off the papers go to be marked and they are never seen again. Do A-Level exam markers get an extra paper recycling bin? Do they use our poorly punctuated words to help light the fire in their wood-panelled study after a hard day marking? Rather than have our A-level certificates mounted on the walls we should have our essays on display – the actual work we produced – the real evidence of learning.
Fifty years have passed since Sylvia Plath died. Fifty years have also just passed since Robert Frost died – I had to write an A-Level essay about him too but I cannot recall a single utterance of his and have had no further interest in his life, even though having just looked on Wikipedia it was perhaps even more fraught with anguish and heartache (in other words more fascinating) than Plath’s.
Plath however, I hoover up novels on her, by her, on Assia Weevil (the other woman – also a suicide) (though not Ted Hughes – I always make sure to turn off The Iron Man if it comes on telly) . . . .but I don’t actually read Plath’s poetry much. Has her legend superseded her work? What everyone remembers is her head in the oven and that’s what gets them curious about her life and works. Had she lived to be a grand old botoxed lady making appearances on radio 4’s Woman’s hour and The Culture show slagging off Ted Hughes and sharing embarrassing details about his hairy back and disgusting habits she wouldn’t be nearly such a compelling subject. Was her greatest achievement professionally her suicide?

LONDON, ENGLAND - MAY 24: Comments in the Cutty Sark guest book written by descendants of Cutty Sark crew were united for the first time ever on board the historic clipper in Greenwich on May 24, 2012 in London, England. The families of 19 of the ship's former crew and key players in her history spanning six generations were traced by Cutty Sark's partners HSBC. The gathering included the only surviving children of a crew member, siblings Frank Dixon, 77, and Elizabeth Willbourn, 80, whose father, Thomas Frank Dixon served as Apprentice and Third Mate between 1885 and 1889.

drafted and handed to me from a friend of mine - back in the mid 1990s - the handwriting is distinct - clearly, the penmanship of a choate/vassar alum. ; )
i've read several of the books, and the list of film suggestions is precious.
i've kept the list (stashed away in a pile of papers found in a box) as a reminder, both of the gesture (the person felt compelled to augment my education with this new curriculum) but also of the wonderful works on the list itself. borges, john kennedy o'toole, nabokov have all had dominant roles in my late night reading life since then, and withnail and i, obscured in this image, has become one of my most cherished film experiences.
rilke was already on the radar, burroughs had already been consumed... i own a copy of several works by pynchon but have not yet afforded myself the time or indulgence to really delve into his world - and jerzy kozinksi leaves behind the memory of a brilliant and sad satirist.
beneath the list is a set drawing from a commercial that i did back in 1995 in los angeles.
i'll keep these items - and one day they might make it into a scrapbook. for now, they go back into a box which goes into a storage space in a basement in copenhagen - and will likely be unearthed in a few year's time.
"filigrana" del director Alvaro Muñoz Sanchez se rodara en las selvas del pacífico colombiano. Este documental es ganador de la convocatoria DOCtv Colombia y su resultado final se podrá ver al finalizar este año. El rodaje se llevará a cabo en el municipio de Barbacoas Nariño y contará la historia del oro, desde la mina hasta la joya, desde el minero artesanal hasta la draga, desde las toneladas de oro extraidas y exportadas en este territorio hasta el olvido al cual es sometida esta población.

This diagram of a gas dugout is taken from the notebook of Lt A. A. Bowman please see previous slide). The notebook was used during an anti-gas training course. Dugouts were usually situated close to the trench line, often within or below the trench wall. The entrance to the dugout would often be draped with a gas curtain to keep out enemy gas, as shown in the diagram. Such protection could work both ways however; a soldier who entered the dug-out in the aftermath of a gas attack could carry the remnants of gas on his boots. The gas curtain would then prevent the gas escaping; it was not uncommon for all men in a dug-out to be gassed while sleeping as the result of gas inadvertently brought in by a colleague.
