A few things before we begin.
PAY NO ATTENTION TO THE MAN IN FRONT OF THE CLASS.
Tempo- Latin for Time
Miranda- One who is filled with awe and wonder at the world. (Doesn't seem logical.......:)
SIMULACRUM AND SIMULATION- Book in the Matrix. Book out of the Matrix. Book in Reality about reality not being reality yet it seems damn solid to me. Are you following? Good.
PLATO's The Allegory of the Cave! This is where we are watching the Matrix while it flashes us with its simulacrum's and its simulation's.
Now to business? Wait. We're Saying This Wrong. Down to work.
Prospero Is Speaking of the Muses! The Virtues!
The Wiki Link to the Muses.
For everyone that was in Oral Traditions here's a remember.
Now, Oral Traditions is the only way I know that Prospero is talking about the muses. I know this because Shaman Sexson mentioned it two, three times a day.
And I did not remember that it was The Tempest he spoke of until I stumbled across those lines (1.2.41-60).
"Thy mother was a piece of virtue" (1.2.56)= the mother or model of the nine virtues Mnemosyne=Memory
(Aside: Speak Mnemosyne is the true title of Vladimir Nabokov's fictious autobiography Speak Memory. Sadly the editors lo' bro'ed him.
But all us Nobokavians know that there's a title found by the "dumb author or the stupid publisher"(TT,N) and then there's the other kind:
"[T]he title that shone through like a watermark, the title that was born with the book, the title to which the author had grown so accustomed during the years of accumulating the written pages that it had become part of each and of all." (TT, Nabokov)
And now for my favorite part.
An Episode of Family Guy which references Picard's Flute as a household Item......
Their is also A Giant Cave that peter wishes to buy....
Oddly enough Peter Looses his memory and has to relearn everything......
Here's a review.
