Clip from Dress to Kill


A brief glimpse into the life of one of the worlds most amazing dogs.


Song from the album “Erisian Body Musick Vol. 1″ (download it here: www.archive.org ), the video is a somewhat surreal take on William Blake’s poem: 1 When old corruption first begun, Adornd in yellow vest, He committed on flesh a whoredom O, what wicked beast! 2 From them a callow babe did spring, And old corruption smild To think his race should never end. For now he had a child. 3 He calld him Surgery, & fed The babe with his own milk, For flesh & he could neer agree, She would not let him suck. 4 And this he always kept in mind, And formd a crooked knife, And ran about with bloody hands To seek his mothers life. 5 And as he ran to seek his mother He met with a dead woman, He fell in love & married her, A deed which is not common. 6 She soon grew pregnant & brought forth Scurvy & spotted fever. The father grind & skipt about And said, Im made for ever! 7 For now I have procurd these imps Ill try experiments. With that he tied poor scurvy down & stopt up all its vents. 8 And when the child began to swell, He shouted out aloud, Ive found the dropsy out, & soon Shall do the world more good. 9 He took up fever by the neck And cut out all its spots, And thro the holes which he had made He first discoverd guts.

Product Description
What makes a man marry six times? Was Henry VIII a voracious philanderer? On the contrary, says Dr David Starkey, the King was seeking happiness — as well as hoping for a son. The first of his wives was Catherine of Aragon, the pious Catholic princess who suffered years of miscarriages and still births and yet failed to produce a male heir. As Henry VIII’s interest shifted from her powerful Hapsburg relations and drifted towards France, so began his obsession wit… More >>

Contemporary Art – Paintings by Eliora Bousquet – Collection “Celestial Visions” – abstract visionary art This collection of abstract paintings was inspired by the french and english romantic poetry of the mid nineteenth century (Alphonse de Lamartine, Charles Baudelaire, Théodore de Banville, Paul Verlaine, Victor Hugo, William Wordsworth, John Keats, William Blake, Percy Bysshe Shelley,…) which particularly appeals to me because of its vibrant tribute to the beauty of nature and to simple things, because of the passionate feelings it conveys, often half-way between hope and despair, and because of the existential issues it raises through the use of metaphors and surrealist images… I dedicate my website to all those who are still children at heart and still marvel at the beauty of simple things, even though they have reached the autumn of their life. The most beautiful and priceless work of art there ever was is here, all around us ! Take time to marvel at the wonders of our surroundings, and please… be kind to our world !

A Musical Dream” is a masterly journey back to The Golden Age of English history. It is an exiting journey into the lovelife of Renaissance man. A lovelife surprisingly similar to ours. Thus other sounds than those of soprano, flute and guitar are heard when Trio Royal becomes a “Menage á Trois”.
