"Seven Ages of Man" by William Shakespeare (poetry reading)
This speech is from Act II, scene vii of "As You Like It". These days the inevitability of old age is not quite so certain - as archy the cockroach observed in 1927: the old fashioned grandmother who used to wear steel rimmed glasses and make everybody take opodeldoc has now got a new set of ox glands and is dancing the black bottom The Prophet Of Longevity is Raymond C. Kurzweil who coauthored a book called Fantastic Voyage. www.businessweek.com His proposition is that if he can live to year 2030, which will make him 82, immortality will then be a practical proposition. When I saw him on TV he was running on his treadmill, drinking green tea and telling the interviewer that he takes 250 pills a day. Maybe its possible to live longer by exercising and taking pills by the hatful, but nobody has had any demonstrable success yet. If he were 100 years old and married to a playboy bunny he would have a better argument. "Methuslah lived nine hundred years; but who calls dat livin when no gall will give in to no man whats nine hundred years. " (Porgy and Bess., 1935, by George Gershwin) Is a modest increase in longevity worth having, if it costs a fortune and the extra time has to be spent on a treadmill? He is hoping to postpone death using currently known techniques or those he fondly hopes might work. The premise is that the longer one lives then there will then be techniques to postpone death even further. He predicts this will happen by year 2030. Some of the longevity ...

"Romeo and Juliet - balcony scene" by William Shakespeare (poetry reading)
Romeo is about 16 years old (nobody knows exactly) and Juliet is 13. Any comment arguing about their ages will be deleted. They're both fictitious. I'm too old to be Romeo but I can read his speech. I'd like to point out some common misconceptions introduced by producers, mostly to make the play more salacious. There was no balcony for Romeo to climb. Shakespeare never said there was a balcony. Juliet appears at her window as Romeo says, "What light though yonder window breaks?" At the start of the scene, Juliet doesn't know that Romeo is watching her. Romeo can hear what she says, but she can't hear him, that's dramatic licence and it helps the plot along. So she is giving voice to her wishes, not talking to him when she says: O Romeo, Romeo! wherefore art thou Romeo? Deny thy father and refuse thy name! Or, if thou wilt not, be but sworn my love, And I'll no longer be a Capulet. That would be an offensive thing to say to Romeo directly. Most people know that she isn't asking where he is, and that "wherefore" means "why" - but there is a subtle difference. "Wherefore" usually referred to reasons from the past, "why" referred to motivation for action in the future. Later she says, "How cam'st thou hither, tell me, and wherefore?" and a little later on, "I have forgot why I did call thee back..." It's a small difference. Anyway Juliet goes on: 'Tis but thy name that is my enemy. Thou art thyself, ... O, be some other name! What's in a name? That which we call a rose By any ...

Shakespeare's & Elizabeth Barrett Browning's Beautiful Love Poems ~ Valentine's Day
'Great Love Poems' itunes.apple.com "Shall I Compare Thee To A Summer's Day" read by Sam West "How Do I Love Thee? Let Me Count The Ways" read by Sian Phillips Music ~ "A Lover's Morning" performed by Oliver Wakeman 'It was Shakespeare who would have us believe 'the course of true love never did run smooth'; and there do seem to be as many poems about love spurned, love lost, as there are about love fulfilled. Poetry, at its best, is fuelled by emotion - so do the pain of rejection and the ache of regret provide the greater fire, the larger passion? Not if the poems about love has the power to throw us into a state of bewitched confusion where we no longer understand our own feelings. It can make the details of our lives seem insignificant : 'I wonder by my troth, what I did, till we lov'd? Whirlwind romance, entreaties to live together, a delight in 'fleshly pleasures', advice to the young: all have driven the poets at one time or another. There are warnings to be found too. But if true love strikes us, perhaps when we lest expect it, are we likely to heed wise words ?' David Ansdell The background music entitled 'A Lover's Morning' is composed and performed by Oliver Wakeman.Olivers music is featured on all blue dot music's poetry CDs as background and musical interludes. Valentine's Day or Saint Valentine's Day is a holiday celebrated on February 14 by many people throughout the world. In the English-speaking countries, it is the traditional day on which lovers express ...

Sonnet 55 by William Shakespeare (poetry reading)
You can hear James Earl Jones (Darth Vader) read it here - 30th Dec 2010: www.youtube.com There's little doubt that this was written to a young man. The most likely chap was Henry Wriothesley (sounds like Rizzly) who was 9 years younger than Will. en.wikipedia.org Will was on his payroll and Henry got himself immortalised in verse. Whether there was more to it than that will continue to divide scholars for the rest of eternity. My guess is that there wasn't because men weren't so stuffy about showing affection then. Nor were they forced to make a decision about being on one side of the fence or the other. Maybe, just like a modern celebrity, Will maintained ambivalence to broaden his appeal. Henry's hair looks like a L'Oreal commercial, so let me advance an alternative theory: Will wrote him this sonnet because he thought he was worth it. en.wikipedia.org Not marble, nor the gilded monuments Of princes, shall outlive this powerful rhyme; But you shall shine more bright in these contents Than unswept stone besmear'd with sluttish time. When wasteful war shall statues overturn, And broils root out the work of masonry, Nor Mars his sword nor war's quick fire shall burn The living record of your memory. 'Gainst death and all-oblivious enmity Shall you pace forth; your praise shall still find room Even in the eyes of all posterity That wear this world out to the ending doom. So, till the judgment that yourself arise, You live in this, and dwell in lover's eyes.

hair-whip heartbreak
Naomi is 16, and works with us at photography factory when she is off school pretty much as an equal member. Lets be honest age is irrelevant in a great picture, plus she has a sense of the social media space to rival the best new media agency analysts. All the newest trends are always playing out as only she predicts. Her detailed clear and analysis of youth culture on the internet is worth a million dollars to us and she is a key member of our team. More importantly her simple black and white photographic portraits are utterly brilliant, an evocation of sub suburban teenage life as seen though the eyes of a 15 (now 16) year old girl. But on the day of this slow motion test Naomi was not her normal beautiful smiling dry sarcastic self (think Juno with a camera). Recently she had a relationship with a Hollister lookalike boy end in an unfair way (what was ever fair about being 16?) and have to get it all dragged around the internet as the aftermath played out on FaceBook in a very modern and very public way. So in other words she was putting on a brave face. We all involved setting up the high speed camera and needed someone to stand in as a lighting dummy, When shooter one had the idea to getting someone to shake their hair around... and see how it might look at 2000 fps. Naomi stepped up to the plate and quite shocked us by the force and passion she used to whip. The beguiling result is here... if you look at here closely you can see something else:
Something about that action and the air swishing though her hair just seemed to change her mood, as if she had just tossed away the weight of an the old nightmare, something thick and heavy that had been clinging to her, but suddenly it was gone. As she was hair whipping for the camera, shooter one quietly said to himself:
"Go girl, shake that boy right out of your hair..."

Sadness flies on the wings of the morning and out of the heart of darkness comes the light. ~Jean Giraudoux
I don't know why they call it heartbreak. It feels like every other part of my body is broken too. ~Missy Altijd
No man is rich enough to buy back his past. ~Oscar Wilde
When love is lost, do not bow your head in sadness; instead keep your head up high and gaze into heaven for that is where your broken heart has been sent to heal. ~Dante
In the arithmetic of love, one plus one equals everything, and two minus one equals nothing. ~Mignon McLaughlin, The Second Neurotic's Notebook, 1966
Relationships are like glass. Sometimes it's better to leave them broken than try to hurt yourself putting it back together. ~Author Unknown
Love is like a puzzle. When you're in love, all the pieces fit but when your heart gets broken, it takes a while to get everything back together. ~Author Unknown
Maybe part of loving is learning to let go. ~From the television show The Wonder Years
I prithee send me back my heart,
Since I cannot have thine;
For if from yours you will not part,
Why, then, shouldst thou have mine?
~John Suckling
As soon as forever is through, I'll be over you. ~Toto
Let your tears come. Let them water your soul. ~Eileen Mayhew
It's so curious: one can resist tears and 'behave' very well in the hardest hours of grief. But then someone makes you a friendly sign behind a window, or one notices that a flower that was in bud only yesterday has suddenly blossomed, or a letter slips from a drawer... and everything collapses. ~Colette
The heart is the only broken instrument that works. ~T.E. Kalem
Sometimes I wish I were a little kid again, skinned knees are easier to fix than broken hearts. ~Author Unknown
God can heal a broken heart, but He has to have all the pieces. ~Author Unknown
What is the opposite of two? A lonely me, a lonely you. ~Richard Wilbur
Sadness flies away on the wings of time. ~Jean de La Fontaine
If we must part forever,
Give me but one kind word to think upon,
And please myself with, while my heart's breaking.
~Thomas Otway
Have you ever been hurt and the place tries to heal a bit, and you just pull the scar off of it over and over again. ~Rosa Parks
With what a deep devotedness of woe
I wept thy absence - o'er and o'er again
Thinking of thee, still thee, till thought grew pain,
And memory, like a drop that, night and day,
Falls cold and ceaseless, wore my heart away!
~Thomas Moore
Where you used to be, there is a hole in the world, which I find myself constantly walking around in the daytime, and falling in at night. I miss you like hell. ~Edna St. Vincent Millay
We must embrace pain and burn it as fuel for our journey. ~Kenji Miyazawa
If you're going through hell, keep going. ~Winston Churchill
You can clutch the past so tightly to your chest that it leaves your arms too full to embrace the present. ~Jan Glidewell

Skeet Vaughan:
I wrote an article in one of the flying magazines, and asked pilots to tell me if they'd seen any unusual lightning, or anything out of the ordinary. A number of pilots, about 19 of them, sent me letters telling me about this kind of a thing.

Larry Partridge:
All of a sudden, POW! Just a split second, this huge bolt of lightning came out of the top and disappeared into deep blue space. The captain turned to me and said, wide eyed, and said did you see that? And so I said yes, and so we turned and told the flight engineer, and he said, that's impossible. Lightning doesn't go up.

A Strike of lightning appeared to come from the top of the cloud, went straight up, bright white, for ten or 15 thousand feet, then broke up into a lot of little fingers that went through the different colours of the spectrum, and disappeared off into space.

The Inaugural Henry Cole Lecture: Sir Christopher Frayling, 30 October 2008
The inaugural Henry Cole Lecture, held at the V&A; Museum in London on 30 October 2008. The purpose of the lecture is to celebrate the legacy of the Museum’s founding director, and explore its implications for museums, culture and society today.
The lecture, entitled 'We Must Have Steam: Get Cole! Henry Cole, the Chamber of Horrors, and the Educational Role of the Museum' was delivered by Professor Sir Christopher Frayling. He presented new research on the “chamber of horrors” (a contemporary nickname for one of the V&A;'s earliest galleries, 'Decorations on False Principles', that opened in 1852) and the myths and realities of its reception, then opened up a wider debate on design education and museums from the nineteenth century to the present day.
Transcript:
Mark Jones: The annual Henry Cole lecture has been initiated to celebrate Henry Cole's legacy and to explore the contribution that culture can make to education and society today. It has also been launched to celebrate the opening of the Sackler Centre for arts education, including the Hochhauser Auditorium in which we sit tonight. There could be no one better than Professor Sir Christopher Frayling to give the inaugural Henry Cole Lecture. Christopher is a rare being: an intellectual who is a great communicator; a theorist who has a firm grip on the practical realities of life: a writer who truly and instinctively understands the words of making design and visual communication. As an enormously successful and respected Rector of the Royal College of Art, as Chairman of the Arts Council, and as a member and chair of boards too numerous to mention - but not forgetting the Royal Mint Advisory Committee which has recently been responsible for redesigning the coinage (personal interest) and as by far the longest-serving Trustee of the V&A;, he brings together culture, education and public service in a way which Henry Cole would have approved and admired. So it's more than fitting that he should be giving this first Henry Cole Lecture, 'We Must Have Steam: Get Cole! Henry Cole, the Chamber of Horrors, and the Educational Role of the Museum'.
CHRISTOPHER FRAYLING:
Thank you very much indeed Mark and thank you very much for inviting me to give this first Henry Cole Lecture. Just how much of an honour it is for me will I hope become clear as the lecture progresses.
Mark, Chairpeople, ladies and gentlemen:
Hidden away in the garden of the South Kensington Museum - now the Madejski Garden of the V&A; - there is a small and easily overlooked commemorative plaque that doesn't have a museum number. It reads: 'In Memory of Jim Died 1879 Aged 15 Years, Faithful Dog of Sir Henry Cole of this Museum'. Jim had in fact died on 30 January 1879. He was with Henry Cole in his heyday, as the king of South Kensington - its museums and colleges - and saw him through to retirement from the public service and beyond. And next to this inscription there's another one dedicated to Jim's successor, Tycho, and dated 1885. The dogs are actually buried in the garden. Now we know from Henry Cole's diary that between 1864 and 1879 Jim, who was a cairn terrier, was often to be seen in public at his master's side. In 1864 they were together inspecting the new memorial to the Great Exhibition of 1851 just behind the Albert Hall - a statue of Prince Albert by Joseph Durham on a lofty plinth covered in statistics about the income, expenditure and visitor numbers to the Great Exhibition: 6,039,195 to be exact. Cole had been a tireless champion of Prince Albert and according to the Princess Royal (later Empress of Prussia) there was a family saying in Buckingham Palace at the time, invented by Albert himself, that when things needed doing 'when we want steam we must get Cole'. We may therefore assume that when looking at the memorial, Cole was interested in the inscription, the statistics and the likeness of Prince Albert, while Jim was more interested in the possibilities of the plinth. In early 1866 - these are five studies of Jim, an etching by Henry Cole himself of 1864. In early 1866, first thing in the morning, soon after the workmen's bell had rung, Henry and Jim would set forth together from Cole's newly constructed official residence in the Museum (where he moved in July 1863) to tour the building sites of South Kensington - a name which was first invented by Cole when he re-named the museum The South Kensington Museum to describe the new developments happening around Brompton Church. According to 'The Builder' magazine, these two well-known figures would 'be seen clambering over bricks, mortar and girders up ladders and about scaffolding'. Several buildings in the South Kensington Renaissance Revival style were springing up all around them: The Natural History Museum, The College of Science, the extension to this Museum. And on the morning the Bethnal Green Museum opened - 24 June 1872 - Jim showed a healthy distaste for his master's well-known predilection for pomp and
