Exodus 19
Then Moses went up to God, and the Lord called to him from the mountain.

SalisburyJohnof: 'That, of course, is crap, i'nnit? No, there's no God; the Bible is no more coherent than the collected verse of Edward Lear, and you'll have to find a different reason for the next Holy War'
Except for reversal of the content, that is basically how I tweet

EarRelevant: And an SVB limerick by ChatGpT in the style of Edward Lear, with some edits by me:
There once was a bank out in Silicon
Whose failures left clients all in chagrin
Their tech loans were risky
And investments too frisky
Now their future is looking quite thin

mattie2twi: starting Sunday morning with the news that a bnew story 'Homecoming' has been accepted for publication in the anthology Home Lifespan Vol. 7 in April 2023. That deserves (for me) a nearly the same picture from Corfu. I'm not even a mummy today! left = me; right = Edward Lear.
mattie2twi: One more 'nearly the same view' then I have to get writing a wee story about a painter on Corfu (who might have arrived in Paleokastritsa the same time Edward Lear arrived on the yacht 'Midge' - not a journey he enjoyed. (Uglow p 238)
padrigmcg: Showing my daughter Bristol uni, enjoying the art (Banksy, Redon, Edward Lear), and trying to remember which of these doorways once opened into The Dugout club.

Richardson_CW: Interesting discussion. The prating didacticism of the Rev Isaac Watts prevails in children's literature today (albeit devoid of Watts' redemptive poetry & metaphysics). It's not the ghost of Roald Dahl we need to save us, but Edward Lear.
mattie2twi: sorry, for those who wonder. The first picture is taken from the headland at the top of old Analipseos road, the nearest I could get to where Edward Lear used to paint (private houses there now) and the beach and beach bar at Mikro Nisi in the south-west of the island.

Maerlyn8_BTS7: Edward Lear (1812-1888) was an English artist, illustrator, and author. Best known for his witty poetry, Lear also often drew animals and landscapes from his travels that were sometimes used as illustrations in books.
You can see more of his work here:
joematango: Confession: I weep a lot. But only for joy. Weird.
Edward Lear makes me cry. So does Auden. And GMH.
Tonight at dinner, I wept that John Prine could project himself into that tragic woman in "Angel from Montgomery" and how well Bonnie Raitt embodies her.

BookwormVaught: One of the things I enjoyed most. I needed zebra quotations, lore and epigraphs, but the question of permissions fees squashed that. So I made up draft, redacted Edward Lear poems, a drunken Darwin, zoologists and a whole strain of zebra-fanciers, conferences & scholarly articles
AnnevanLeur: On Truth Social, Trump's morphed into one of the 3 witches in Macbeth.
In reality, inflation, interest rates, crime, & debt continue to expand. Yet, safely ensconced within his macrocosm, Trump's busy on TS mainlining Edward Lear, like a drunken talk-radio caller from Queens

Who said, 'It is just as I feared!
Two Owls and a Hen,
Four Larks and a Wren,
Have all built their nests in my beard!'
--Edward Lear
Richardson_CW: Modern English children's literature was born when Edward Lear & Lewis Carroll "waged a nursery war against the pieties of empire & scolding moralism of writers like the Rev Isaac Watts or Charles & Mary Lamb." The pieties of empire might be gone, but scolding moralism is back.
