Opening-act di Cosmo il 2 febbraio 2019 a Milano, al Mediolanum Forum di Assago, M¥SS KETA.

Una vita in Capslock è il titolo del primo album di M¥SS KETA, l’angelo dall’occhiale da sera, la diva definitiva dal volto velato e regina suprema dell’eccesso.

Il disco è un vero e proprio viaggio interiore che ha portato M¥SS KETA a esplorare nuove sonorità, mostrando la maturità acquisita in questi anni.

L’#UVIC Tour ha preso il via lo scorso aprile dai Magazzini Generali di Milano, la città che l’ha vista nascere e diventare “la stella più brillante dello star system contemporaneo”.

Un live esagerato che inaugura il nuovo capitolo della vita di M¥SS KETA, che sceglie definitivamente la selva oscura e perde la retta via per trasformarsi “da domata a domatrice, diventando protagonista di una vita sfrenata, incontrollabile e surreale: Una vita in Capslock.”

M¥SS KETA - la cui identità non è mai stata resa nota, così come il volto, mostrato sempre coperto sia durante gli spettacoli dal vivo che negli scatti promozionali - ha esordito nel 2013 con il brano “Milano, sushi e coca”, al quale sono seguiti “In gabbia (non ci vado)”, “Burqa di Gucci”, “Le ragazze di Porta Venezia”: le prime canzoni registrate dall'artista e diffuse al pubblico per mezzo dei social network sono state raccolte, nel 2016, nel "best of" “L’angelo dall’occhiale da sera: col cuore in gola". Nell’estate del 2017 la cantante pubblica per l’etichetta La Tempesta l’EP “Carpaccio ghiacciato”, prodotto da Motel Forlanini, alla realizzazione del quale prendono parte, tra gli altri, Riva e Populous, quest'ultimo coinvolto come produttore del singolo “Xananas”. Il 20 aprile del 2018 esce per Universal Music/La Tempesta il primo album di Myss Keta, "Una vita in Capslock": prodotto da un team composto da RIVA, Populous, Clap Clap, Bot, Zeus! e H-24, il disco vede le partecipazioni di di Birthh ai cori in "Inferno" e "Ultima botta a Pargi" e di Adele Nigro (Any Other) al sax sempre in "Ultima botta a Parigi". Tra gli autori dell'album, oltre alla stessa cantante e RIVA, ci sono Simone Rovellini, Dario Pigato e il collettivo di creativi milanesi raggruppatosi intorno al nome di Motel Forlanini.

Secondo quanto ha dichiarato l'artista, sarebbe andata in vacanza con l'avvocato Gianni Agnelli, sarebbe stata la prima musa di Salvador Dalí ed Andy Warhol e avrebbe avuto dei flirt con note personalità della politica e dello spettacolo. Ha anche asserito di aver avuto diciotto anni negli anni settanta e diciannove nel 2001.

Alla chitarra, Giungla, pseudonimo di Emanuela Drei, cantautrice di base a Bologna, già voce e chitarra di Heike Has The Giggles ed ex bassista di His Clancyness.

FLYING TIGERS! by Jon Fobes

1 15

Not sure what these are -- Mac will know -- but they look like tigers to me, ready to leap right off the stalk. Camera flash with illumination from nearby windows.

Not sure if the "more properties" will show this, but one some of these pictures I tried the slow sync flash program, where the flash fires at the end (I think it's the end) of the shutter time; this allows for more ambient light and overall balanced exposure. I was trying different settings all the time, but I think this must be a slow sync shot.

Also met a seasoned photographer who had the wildest diffuser I have ever seen, so of course I had to order one. Check it out: Complete with video presentation!

Exmouth Panorama Prior to 1924. And Planned Murder in Chicago. by pepandtim

The Postcard

A postcard that was published by Chorley of 10, High Street, Exmouth. The card was posted in Exmouth using a 1d. stamp on Tuesday the 19th. August 1924. It was sent to:

Mrs. C. Hopper,

c/o Mrs. Ferris,

5, Summerland Avenue,

Minehead,

Somerset.

The message on the divided back of the card was as follows:

"Withycombe Raleigh,

19. 1. 24.

Dear Aunt Constance,

Thank you very much for

your post-card. I'm glad

you are enjoying your-

selves at Minehead.

I hope the weather is

better there than it is

at Exmouth - it's pretty

foul today.

I am sorry to have to

confess that I got my

feet wet up near the

floors yesterday.

I wish you were here

to look after me and

keep me in order.

I wanted to go to Ladram

Bay this afternoon, but it

is so wet that I am afraid

I must abandon the idea.

Love to you all,

Your affectionate nephew,

George."

Ladram Bay is seven miles from Exmouth.

Exmouth

Exmouth is a port town and seaside resort located on the east bank at the mouth of the River Exe, approximately 11 miles (18 km) southeast of Exeter, in the county of Devon, England.

According to the 2021 Census, Exmouth has a population of 35,488, making it the fifth largest settlement in Devon by population.

Historically known as a popular seaside resort, Exmouth is noted for its long sandy beaches, marina, and watersports opportunities, attracting many visitors in good weather. It also serves as a commuter town for nearby Exeter.

The Conquering of Mount Fitzsimmons

So what else happened on the day that George posted the card to his aunt in Minehead?

Well, on the 19th. August 1924, the first ascent was made of the 2,603 metre (8,540 ft) Mount Fitzsimmons, in British Columbia.

The ascent was made by a party of Canadian mountaineers from the British Columbia Mountaineering Club.

Willard Boyle

The day also marked the birth in Amherst, Nova Scotia of Willard Boyle.

Willard was a Canadian physicist and 2009 Nobel Prize laureate for:

"... the invention of an imaging semiconductor

circuit – the CCD sensor, which has become

an electronic eye in almost all areas of

photography."

The charge-coupled device (CCD) was invented in 1969 by Willard Boyle and George E. Smith. The CCD allowed NASA to send clear pictures back to Earth from space. It is also the technology that powers many digital cameras today. Smith said of their invention:

"After making the first couple of

imaging devices, we knew for

certain that chemistry photography

was dead."

-- Willard Boyle's Personal Life

In retirement Willard split his time between Halifax and Wallace, Nova Scotia. In Wallace, he helped launch an art gallery with his wife, Betty, a landscape artist.

He was married to Betty since 1946 and had four children, 10 grandchildren and 6 great-grandchildren.

In his later years, Boyle suffered from kidney disease, and due to complications from this disease, died in a hospital in Truro, Nova Scotia on the 7th. May 7, 2011. Willard was 86 years of age when he died.

The Leopold and Loeb Murder Trial

Also on the 19th. August 1924, the state began its closing arguments in the Leopold and Loeb trial.

The trial had begun on the 21st. July 1924, when defense lawyer Clarence Darrow told the Illinois court that his clients were entering pleas of guilty.

Nathan Freudenthal Leopold Jr. (1904 - 1971) and Richard Albert Loeb (1905 - 1936) were two wealthy students at the University of Chicago who kidnapped and murdered 14-year-old Bobby Franks in Chicago in May 1924.

They committed the murder - characterized at the time as "The Crime of the Century" - as a demonstration of their ostensible intellectual superiority, which they believed enabled and entitled them to carry out a "perfect crime" without consequences.

After the two men had been arrested, Loeb's family retained Clarence Darrow as lead counsel for their defense. Darrow's 12-hour summation at their sentencing hearing is noted for its influential criticism of capital punishment as retributive rather than transformative justice.

Both young men were sentenced to life imprisonment plus 99 years. Loeb was murdered by a fellow prisoner in 1936; Leopold was released on parole in 1958.

Leopold and Loeb's Murder of Bobby Franks

Leopold and Loeb, who were 19 and 18 respectively at the time, settled on kidnapping and murdering a younger adolescent as their perfect crime.

They spent seven months planning everything, from the method of abduction to disposal of the body. To obfuscate the actual nature of their crime and motive, they decided to make a ransom demand, and devised an intricate plan for collecting it involving a long series of complex instructions to be communicated, one set at a time, by phone.

They typed the final set of instructions involving the actual money drop in the form of a ransom note, using the typewriter stolen from the fraternity house. A chisel was selected as the murder weapon and purchased.

After a lengthy search for a suitable victim, mostly on the grounds of the Harvard School for Boys in the Kenwood area, where Leopold had been educated, the pair decided upon Robert "Bobby" Franks, the 14-year-old son of wealthy Chicago watch manufacturer Jacob Franks.

Bobby Franks was Loeb's second cousin and an across-the-street neighbor who had played tennis at the Loeb residence several times.

Leopold and Loeb put their plan in motion on the afternoon of the 21st. May 1924. Using an automobile that Leopold rented under the name Morton D. Ballard, they offered Franks a ride as he walked home from school.

The boy initially refused, because his destination was less than two blocks away, but Loeb persuaded him to enter the car to discuss a tennis racket that he had been using.

The precise sequence of events that followed remains in dispute, but a preponderance of opinion placed Leopold behind the wheel of the car while Loeb sat in the back seat with the chisel.

Loeb struck Franks, who was sitting in front of him in the passenger seat, several times in the head with the chisel, then dragged him into the back seat and gagged him, where he died.

With the body on the floor of the back seat, the men drove to their predetermined dumping spot near Wolf Lake in Hammond, Indiana, 25 miles (40 km) south of Chicago.

After nightfall, they removed and discarded Franks' clothes, then concealed the body in a culvert along the Pennsylvania Railroad tracks north of the lake.

In order to obscure the body's identity, they poured hydrochloric acid on Franks' face and genitals to disguise the fact that he had been circumcised, as circumcision was unusual among non-Jews in the United States at the time.

The Ransom Note

By the time the two men returned to Chicago, word had already spread that Franks was missing. Leopold called Franks' mother, identifying himself as "George Johnson", and told her that Franks had been kidnapped; instructions for delivering the ransom would follow.

After mailing the typed ransom note and burning their blood-stained clothing, then cleaning the blood stains from the rented vehicle's upholstery, they spent the remainder of the evening playing cards.

Once the Franks family received the ransom note on the following morning, Leopold called a second time and dictated the first set of instructions for the ransom payment.

The intricate plan stalled almost immediately when a nervous family member forgot the address of the store where he was supposed to receive the next set of directions, and it was abandoned entirely when word came that Franks' body had been found.

Leopold and Loeb destroyed the typewriter and burned a car blanket that they had used to move the body. They then went about their lives as usual.

Chicago police launched an intensive investigation and rewards were offered for information. Both Leopold and Loeb enjoyed chatting with friends and family members about the murder. Leopold discussed the case with his professor and a girl friend, joking that he would confess and give her the reward money.

Loeb helped a couple of reporter friends of his find the drug store he and Leopold had tried to send Jacob Franks to, and when asked to describe Bobby he replied:

"If I were to murder anybody, it would

be just such a cocky little son of a bitch

as Bobby Franks."

Police found a pair of eyeglasses near Franks' body. Although common in prescription and frame, they were fitted with an unusual hinge purchased by only three customers in Chicago, one of whom was Leopold.

When questioned, Leopold offered the possibility that his glasses might have dropped out of his pocket during a bird-watching trip the previous weekend.

Leopold and Loeb were summoned for formal questioning on the 29th. May. They asserted that on the night of the murder, they had picked up two women in Chicago using Leopold's car, then dropped them off some time later near a golf course without learning their last names.

However their alibi was exposed as a fabrication when Leopold's chauffeur told police that he was repairing Leopold's car while the men claimed to be using it.

Also the chauffeur's wife confirmed that the car was parked in the Leopold garage on the night of the murder. The destroyed typewriter was recovered from the Jackson Park Lagoon on the 7th. June.

Confessions

Loeb was the first to confess. He asserted that Leopold had planned everything and had killed Franks in the back seat of the car while he (Loeb) drove. Leopold's confession followed swiftly thereafter. He insisted that he was the driver and Loeb the murderer.

Their confessions otherwise corroborated most of the evidence in the case. Both confessions were announced by the state's attorney on the 31st. May.

Leopold later claimed, long after Loeb was dead, that he pleaded in vain with Loeb to admit to killing Franks. He quoted Loeb as saying:

"Mompsie feels less terrible than

she might, thinking you did it, and

I'm not going to take that shred of

comfort away from her."

Most observers believed that Loeb did strike the fatal blows. Some circumstantial evidence – including testimony from eyewitness Carl Ulvigh, who claimed that he saw Loeb driving and Leopold in the back seat minutes before the kidnapping – suggested that Leopold could have been the killer.

Both Leopold and Loeb admitted that they were driven by their thrill-seeking, Übermenschen (supermen) delusions, and their aspiration to commit a "perfect crime".

Neither claimed to have looked forward to the killing, but Leopold admitted interest in learning what it would feel like to be a murderer. He was disappointed to note that he felt the same as ever.

The Trial of Leopold and Loeb

The trial of Leopold and Loeb at Chicago's Cook County Criminal Court became a media spectacle. The Leopold and Loeb families hired the renowned criminal defense attorney Clarence Darrow to lead the defense team.

It was rumored that Darrow was paid $1 million for his services, but he was actually paid $70,000 (equivalent to $1,200,000 in 2022). Darrow took the case because he was a staunch opponent of capital punishment.

While it was generally assumed that the men's defense would be based on a plea of not guilty by reason of insanity, Darrow concluded that a jury trial would almost certainly end in conviction and the death penalty.

Thus he elected to enter a plea of guilty, hoping to convince Cook County Circuit Court Judge John R. Caverly to impose sentences of life imprisonment.

The trial, technically an extended sentencing hearing, as their guilty pleas had already been accepted, ran for thirty-two days.

The state's attorney, Robert E. Crowe, presented over 100 witnesses, documenting details of the crime.

The defense presented extensive psychiatric testimony in an effort to establish mitigating circumstances, including childhood neglect in the form of absent parenting, and in Leopold's case, sexual abuse by a governess.

One piece of evidence was a letter written by Leopold claiming that he and Loeb were having a homosexual affair. Both the prosecution and the defense interpreted this information as supportive of their own position.

Darrow called a series of expert witnesses, who offered a catalog of Leopold's and Loeb's abnormalities. One witness testified to their dysfunctional endocrine glands, another to the delusions that had led to their crime.

Darrow's Speech

Darrow's impassioned, eight-hour-long "masterful plea" at the conclusion of the hearing has been called the finest speech of his career. Its principal arguments were that the methods and punishments of the American justice system were inhumane, and the youth and immaturity of the accused:

"This terrible crime was inherent in his organism, and it came from some ancestor. Is any blame attached because somebody took Nietzsche's philosophy seriously and fashioned his life upon it? It is hardly fair to hang a 19-year-old boy for the philosophy that was taught him at the university.

We read of killing one hundred thousand men in a day [during World War I]. We read about it and we rejoiced in it – if it was the other fellows who were killed. We were fed on flesh and drank blood.

Even down to the prattling babe. I need not tell you how many upright, honorable young boys have come into this court charged with murder, some saved and some sent to their death, boys who fought in this war and learned to place a cheap value on human life. You know it and I know it. These boys were brought up in it.

It will take fifty years to wipe it out of the human heart, if ever. I know this, that after the Civil War in 1865, crimes of this sort increased, marvelously. No one needs to tell me that crime has no cause. It has as definite a cause as any other disease, and I know that out of the hatred and bitterness of the Civil War crime increased as America had never seen before.

I know that Europe is going through the same experience today; I know it has followed every war; and I know it has influenced these boys so that life was not the same to them as it would have been if the world had not made red with blood.

Your Honor knows that in this very court crimes of violence have increased growing out of the war. Not necessarily by those who fought but by those that learned that blood was cheap, and human life was cheap, and if the State could take it lightly why not the boy?

Has the court any right to consider anything but these two boys? The State says that your Honor has a right to consider the welfare of the community, as you have. If the welfare of the community would be benefited by taking these lives, well and good. I think it would work evil that no one could measure.

Has your Honor a right to consider the families of these defendants? I have been sorry, and I am sorry for the bereavement of Mr. and Mrs. Franks, for those broken ties that cannot be healed. All I can hope and wish is that some good may come from it all. But as compared with the families of Leopold and Loeb, the Franks are to be envied – and everyone knows it.

Here is Leopold's father – and this boy was the pride of his life. He watched him and he cared for him, he worked for him; the boy was brilliant and accomplished. He educated him, and he thought that fame and position awaited him, as it should have awaited. It is a hard thing for a father to see his life's hopes crumble into dust.

And Loeb's the same. Here are the faithful uncle and brother, who have watched here day by day, while Dickie's father and his mother are too ill to stand this terrific strain, and shall be waiting for a message which means more to them than it can mean to you or me. Shall these be taken into account in this general bereavement?

The easy thing and the popular thing to do is to hang my clients. I know it. Men and women who do not think will applaud. The cruel and thoughtless will approve. It will be easy today; but in Chicago, and reaching out over the length and breadth of the land, more and more fathers and mothers, the humane, the kind and the hopeful, who are gaining an understanding and asking questions not only about these poor boys, but about their own – these will join in no acclaim at the death of my clients.

These would ask that the shedding of blood be stopped, and that the normal feelings of man resume their sway. Your Honor stands between the past and the future. You may hang these boys; you may hang them by the neck until they are dead. But in doing it you will turn your face toward the past. In doing it you are making it harder for every other boy who in ignorance and darkness must grope his way through the mazes which only childhood knows.

In doing it you will make it harder for unborn children. You may save them and make it easier for every child that sometime may stand where these boys stand. You will make it easier for every human being with an aspiration and a vision and a hope and a fate.

I am pleading for the future; I am pleading for a time when hatred and cruelty will not control the hearts of men. When we can learn by reason and judgment and understanding and faith that all life is worth saving, and that mercy is the highest attribute of man."

The judge was persuaded, but he explained in his ruling that his decision was based primarily on precedent and the youth of the accused. On the 10th. September 1924, he sentenced both Leopold and Loeb to life imprisonment for the murder, and an additional 99 years for the kidnapping. A little over a month later, Loeb's father died of heart failure.

Darrow's handling of the law as defense counsel has been criticized for hiding psychiatric expert testimony that conflicted with his polemical goals and for relying on an absolute denial of free will, one of the principles legitimizing all criminal punishment.

Prison and Loeb's Murder

Leopold and Loeb initially were held at Joliet Prison. Although they were kept apart as much as possible, the two managed to maintain their friendship.

Leopold was transferred to Stateville Penitentiary in 1925, and Loeb was later transferred there as well. Once reunited, the two expanded the prison school system, adding a high school and junior college curriculum.

On the 28th. January 1936, Loeb was attacked by fellow inmate James Day with a straight razor in a shower room; he died soon after in the prison hospital.

Day claimed that Loeb had attempted to sexually assault him, but he was unharmed, while Loeb sustained more than fifty wounds, including defensive wounds on his arms and hands. His throat had been slashed from behind.

News accounts suggested Loeb had propositioned Day, and though several prison officials including the Warden believed Loeb had been murdered, Day was found not guilty by a jury after a short trial in June, 1936.

Bristol - University Tower Prior to 1962. And the Life and Death of Adolph Eichmann. by pepandtim

The Postcard

A postcard published by Harvey Barton & Son Ltd. of Bristol. They state on the back that it is a real photograph.

The card was posted in Bristol on the 1st. June 1962 to:

Mrs. Stephens,

140, Drove Road,

Weston-super-Mare,

Somerset.

The message on the back of the card was as follows:

"Dear Auntie,

P.C. arrived this morning.

Glad Gran is enjoying the

stay with you.

Shall be seeing you some

time Sunday afternoon.

Love to All,

Dor xxx"

Harvey Barton & Son (1885-1960)

Harvey Barton & Son Ltd. of St. Michael’s Hill, Bristol, were photographers who published real photo postcards of their landscape work in southwest England.

Many of these view-cards were hand coloured.

They also produced printed art reproductions, and a set of picture postcards under the Vistasound name that could be played as 45 rpm records. They were manufactured by the Hardy Record Mfg. Co. of London.

Soviet Union Price Increases

So what else happened on the day that the card was posted?

Well, on the 1st. June 1962, the Soviet Union raised the price of consumer goods by more than 25 percent in order to cover higher operating expenses for the U.S.S.R.'s collective farm programme.

Butter was up 25%, and pork and beef by 30%.

In protest, workers walked off of the job at the Novocherkassk Electric Locomotive Factory, and the strike soon turned into an uprising.

Adolph Eichmann

Also on that day, Adolf Eichmann, 56, German SS officer, war criminal and a major organiser of the Holocaust, was hanged in Ramlah, Israel, after his conviction for war crimes. Eichmann once commented:

"Adolf Hitler may have been wrong all down

the line, but one thing is beyond dispute:

the man was able to work his way up from

lance corporal in the German Army to Führer

of a people of almost 80 million.

His success alone proved that I should

subordinate myself to this man".

Otto Adolf Eichmann, who was born on the 19th. March 1906, was a German-Austrian official of the Nazi Party, an officer of the Schutzstaffel (SS), and one of the major organisers of the Holocaust.

He participated in the January 1942 Wannsee Conference, at which the implementation of the genocidal Final Solution to the Jewish Question was planned.

Following this, he was tasked by SS-Obergruppenführer Reinhard Heydrich with facilitating and managing the logistics involved in the mass deportation of millions of Jews to Nazi ghettos and Nazi extermination camps across German-occupied Europe.

Eichmann was captured and detained by the Allies in 1945, but escaped and eventually settled in Argentina. In May 1960, he was tracked down and abducted by Israel's Mossad intelligence agency, and put on trial before the Supreme Court of Israel.

The highly publicised Eichmann trial resulted in his conviction in Jerusalem, following which he was executed by hanging in 1962.

Biography of Adolph Eichmann

After doing poorly in school, Eichmann briefly worked for his father's mining company in Austria, where the family had moved in 1914. He worked as a travelling oil salesman beginning in 1927, and joined both the Nazi Party and the SS in 1932.

He returned to Germany in 1933, where he joined the Sicherheitsdienst (SD, "Security Service"); there he was appointed head of the department responsible for Jewish affairs – especially emigration, which the Nazis encouraged through violence and economic pressure.

After the outbreak of the Second World War in September 1939, Eichmann and his staff arranged for Jews to be concentrated in ghettos in major cities, with the expectation that they would be transported either farther east or overseas. He also drew up plans for a Jewish reservation, first at Nisko in southeast Poland and later in Madagascar, but neither of these plans was carried out.

The Nazis began the invasion of the Soviet Union on the 22nd. June 1941, and their Jewish policy changed from coerced emigration to extermination.

To coordinate planning for the genocide, Eichmann's superior Reinhard Heydrich hosted the regime's administrative leaders at the Wannsee Conference on the 20th. January 1942.

Eichmann collected information for him, attended the conference, and prepared the minutes. Eichmann and his staff became responsible for Jewish deportations to extermination camps, where the victims were gassed.

After Germany occupied Hungary in March 1944, Eichmann oversaw the deportation of much of the Jewish population. Most of the victims were sent to Auschwitz concentration camp, where about 75 per cent were murdered upon arrival.

By the time the transports were stopped in July 1944, 437,000 of Hungary's 725,000 Jews had been killed. Dieter Wisliceny testified at Nuremberg that Eichmann told him that:

"I would leap laughing into my grave because

the feeling that I had five million people on my

conscience would be for me a source of

extraordinary satisfaction."

After Germany's defeat in 1945, Eichmann was captured by US forces, but escaped from a detention camp and moved around Germany to avoid re-capture.

He ended up in a small village in Lower Saxony, where he lived until 1950, when he moved to Argentina using false papers he obtained with help of an organisation directed by Catholic bishop Alois Hudal.

Information collected by Mossad, Israel's intelligence agency, confirmed his location in 1960. A team of Mossad and Shin Bet agents captured Eichmann and brought him to Israel to stand trial on 15 criminal charges, including war crimes, crimes against humanity, and crimes against the Jewish people.

During the trial, he did not deny the Holocaust or his role in organising it, but said he was simply following orders in a totalitarian Führerprinzip system.

He was found guilty on all charges, and was executed by hanging on the 1st. June 1962. The trial was widely followed in the media, and was later the subject of several books, including Hannah Arendt's Eichmann in Jerusalem, in which Arendt coined the phrase "the banality of evil" to describe Eichmann.

E. E. Cummings

Also on that day, the American poet and author E. E. Cummings died at the age of 67 after a cerebral hemorrhage the night before.

Edward Elstin Cummings had written his last words the afternoon before, about delphinium flowers, chopped some wood, sharpened the axe, and then collapsed in his home.

-- E. E. Cummings' Career

Edward Estlin Cummings, who was born on the 14th. October 1894, was an American poet, painter, essayist, author, and playwright.

During the Great War, he worked as an ambulance driver and was imprisoned in an internment camp, which provided the basis for his novel The Enormous Room in 1922.

In 1917, before his first marriage, Cummings shared several passionate love letters with a Parisian prostitute, Marie Louise Lallemand. Despite Cummings' efforts, he was unable to find Lallemand upon his return to Paris after serving at the Front.

In 1923 Edward published his first collection of poetry, Tulips and Chimneys, which showed his early experiments with grammar and typography.

Edward wrote four plays; HIM (1927) and Santa Claus: A Morality (1946) were the most successful ones.

He wrote EIMI (1933), a travelog of the Soviet Union, and delivered the Charles Eliot Norton Lectures in poetry, published as i—six nonlectures.

In 1926, Cummings' parents were in a car crash; only his mother survived, although she was severely injured. Cummings later described the crash in the following passage from his i: six nonlectures series given at Harvard in 1952 and 1953:

"A locomotive cut the car in half, killing my father

instantly. When two brakemen jumped from the

halted train, they saw a woman standing – dazed

but erect – beside a mangled machine; with blood

spouting (as the older said to me) out of her head.

One of her hands (the younger added) kept feeling

her dress, as if trying to discover why it was wet.

These men took my sixty-six-year old mother by

the arms and tried to lead her toward a nearby

farmhouse; but she threw them off, strode straight

to my father's body, and directed a group of scared

spectators to cover him.

When this had been done (and only then) she let

them lead her away."

— E. E. Cummings (1952) - "i & my parents: Nonlecture one."

Fairy Tales (1965), a collection of short stories, was published posthumously.

Cummings wrote approximately 2,900 poems. He is often regarded as one of the most important American poets of the 20th. century.

-- Reviews of E. E. Cummings' Work

Edward is associated with modernist free-form poetry, and much of his work uses idiosyncratic syntax and lower-case spellings for poetic expression. M. L. Rosenthal wrote:

"The chief effect of Cummings' jugglery with

syntax, grammar, and diction was to blow

open otherwise trite and bathetic motifs

through a dynamic rediscovery of the energies

sealed up in conventional usage.

He succeeded masterfully in splitting the atom

of the cute commonplace."

Norman Friedman commented:

"Cummings' inventions are best understood

as various ways of stripping the film of

familiarity from language to strip the film of

familiarity from the world.

Transform the word, he seems to have felt,

and you are on the way to transforming the

world."

Note .... I hope that the above two quotes make more sense to you than they did to me.

The poet Randall Jarrell said of Cummings:

"No one else has ever made avant-garde,

experimental poems so attractive to the

general and the special reader."

James Dickey wrote:

"I think that Cummings is a daringly original

poet, with more vitality and more sheer,

uncompromising talent than any other living

American writer.

I am ashamed and even a little guilty in

picking out flaws in Cummings's poetry, which

is comparable to noting the aesthetic defects

in a rose.

It is better to say what must finally be said

about Cummings: that he has helped to give

life to the language."

-- The Final Years and Death of E. E. Cummings

Cummings spent the last decade of his life traveling, fulfilling speaking engagements, and spending time at his summer home, Joy Farm, in Silver Lake, New Hampshire.

Edward died at Memorial Hospital in North Conway, New Hampshire. He was laid to rest at Forest Hills Cemetery in Boston, Massachusetts. At the time of his death, Cummings was recognized as:

"The second most widely read poet

in the United States, after Robert Frost".

Poems by E. E. Cummings

-- anyone lived in a pretty how town (1940)

anyone lived in a pretty how town

(with up so floating many bells down)

spring summer autumn winter

he sang his didn’t he danced his did.

Women and men (both little and small)

cared for anyone not at all

they sowed their isn’t they reaped their same

sun moon stars rain

children guessed (but only a few

and down they forgot as up they grew

autumn winter spring summer)

that noone loved him more by more

when by now and tree by leaf

she laughed his joy she cried his grief

bird by snow and stir by still

anyone’s any was all to her

someones married their everyones

laughed their cryings and did their dance

(sleep wake hope and then) they

said their nevers they slept their dream

stars rain sun moon

(and only the snow can begin to explain

how children are apt to forget to remember

with up so floating many bells down)

one day anyone died i guess

(and noone stooped to kiss his face)

busy folk buried them side by side

little by little and was by was

all by all and deep by deep

and more by more they dream their sleep

noone and anyone earth by april

wish by spirit and if by yes.

Women and men (both dong and ding)

summer autumn winter spring

reaped their sowing and went their came

sun moon stars rain

One of Cummings’ best-known poems, ‘anyone lived in a pretty how town’ is, like Emily Dickinson’s ‘I’m Nobody! Who are you?’, a poem about anonymity and obscurity.

A man named anyone lives in an average town, gets married to no one, and eventually dies: the poem captures the ordinariness of the life of the average American, but in Cummings’ trademark style.

-- maggie and milly and molly and may (1956)

maggie and milly and molly and may

went down to the beach (to play one day)

and maggie discovered a shell that sang

so sweetly she couldn’t remember her troubles,and

milly befriended a stranded star

whose rays five languid fingers were;

and molly was chased by a horrible thing

which raced sideways while blowing bubbles:and

may came home with a smooth round stone

as small as a world and as large as alone.

For whatever we lose (like a you or a me)

it’s always ourselves we find in the sea

'Maggie and milly and molly and may' is, on the surface, a straightforward short poem about a group of girls who visit the beach one day, each of them experiencing what it means to play in their own unique way. It could even be a kind of nursery rhyme with the sing-song rhythm in some of the lines.

Dig a little deeper into this series of rhyming couplets, however, and a completely different picture emerges. There may still be four girls innocently playing on a beach (or are there?) but they're all subject to inner change because of what they discover on the sand.

The basic theme of this poem is identity and how it evolves depending on experience. The beach becomes time - the sands of time - and the sea emotional depth, perhaps the unconscious, even eternity.

Using figurative language and poetical devices, along with a complex metrical pattern, the poet takes the reader into the lives of these four individuals via an object or 'thing' - a shell, a starfish, a crab and a stone - each one a catalyst for change.

Franz Schrönghamer-Heimdal

Franz Schrönghamer-Heimdal also died on the 3rd. September 1962, in Passau, Lower Bavaria.

Franz Schrönghamer-Heimdal, who was 81 years of age when he died, was a German Catholic, Nazi, and anti-Semitic author.
