For more information and images about this video please visit http://talesofcuriosity.com/v/Lear/. Beneath is abridged text from our site:
In 1824, a young boy sat to have his silhouette drawn. He was the twentieth child of a London stockbroker, Jeremiah Lear & his wife Ann. The boy lived with his older sister, who taught him how to write & draw. His name was Edward Lear.
Throughout his life Edward Lear was affected by ill health. He was epileptic & suffered from bouts of depression. He named his epileptic attacks "the Demon" & bouts of depression "the Morbids".
For much of his life Edward Lear traveled widely, to paint & in search of warm weather for his poor health. Whilst still in his teens Lear earned a living teaching drawing & selling his own work.
In 1830, Edward Lear was given permission by the Zoological Society of London to draw their parrots. When his illustrations of were published they were very well received. Lear had gained a reputation for his natural history work. Eventually a bird was named in honour of Edward Lear, it is called "Lear's Macaw" (Anodorhynchus Leari).
In 1832 Lear was invited to Knowlsey Hall, to draw the zoological collection. This menagerie was large, with over twenty staff. The collection's owner was Lord Stanley, the 13th Earl of Derby, also President of the Zoological Society.
Lear spent four years drawing the animals at Knowlsey Hall. Although an employee, Lear became a frequent guest at family events. His wit impressed Lord Stanley & he was invited to dine with Stanley, family & friends, rather than the servants. Edward Lear entertained the children with his humorous poems, jokes & sketches.
This period at Knowlsey Hall changed Lear's life, as he met many people with influence, who would support his work. It also saw the end of his natural history illustrations. The close work needed, affected his eyes & health. Due to this, Edward Lear decided to start painting landscapes instead.
In 1846, Edward Lear published "A Book Of Nonsense", using the name "Derry Down Derry". Lear dedicated the book to the children of Knowsley Hall. The book was a collection of limericks. Lear did not invent the limerick, as many people believe, but he popularized the verse form. In fact Lear never used the term limerick, instead he referred to his work as, "nonsense rhymes". Lear often used the word "runcible" in his poems. Runcible, is a nonsense word Edward Lear invented, it does not really mean anything.
In the same year "A Book Of Nonsense" was published Edward Lear gave the young Queen Victoria twelve drawing lessons. He accidentally caused mayhem by not observing proper court protocol.
In 1861 "A Book Of Nonsense" was published. This time it appeared under Edward Lear's real name. Buts some people believed the name "Edward Lear" was another made up name. The theory was the author was really Lord Stanley, the 13th Earl of Derby, whose name was also "Edward" & "Lear" was just an anagram for "Earl". The reason for this was the book's dedication:
TO THE GREAT-GRANDCHILDREN,
GRAND-NEPHEWS, & GRAND-NIECES
OF EDWARD, 13th EARL OF DERBY,
On one occasion, to prove the name "Edward Lear" was real & he was him, Lear showed a doubter his name written inside his hat.
Over the years Edward Lear published other books of nonsense rhymes. In 1867, Lear wrote his most famous nonsense poem, "The Owl & The Pussycat".
In 1871 Edward Lear settled in San Remo, Italy. With him came his Albanian "servant & friend" Giorgio Cocali, his companion for nearly thirty years. After Giorgio Cocali's death his sons would carry on working for Lear.
In 1872 there was a new arrival in Edward Lear's life, a cat named Foss.
Foss had only half a tail. A servant had cut it off thinking only having half a tail would would stop Foss from straying. He was a large tabby cat with stripes a bit like a tiger. Lear doted on Foss, who apparently was not the most attractive of beasts.
It was said when Lear built a new house, it was identical to his old one. The reason being Foss would settle in easily. The original house had lost its views after a hotel was built. The new house was close to the sea, where Lear said "nothing could interrupt his light until the fishes built".
One of Edward Lear's friends was the poet Alfred, Lord Tennyson. He named the new home "Villa Tennyson". Here Edward Lear & Foss lived a quiet life. Lear became reclusive often, hiding away from visitors.
On 26th September 1886 Foss died. After a ceremony he was buried under a tombstone in Lear's garden. On 29th January 1888, Edward Lear died of heart disease, his health had been in decline for sometime. He was laid to rest in a simple grave next to a monument to his servant Giorgio Cocali & his son Nicola Cocali's grave. The funeral was a quiet ceremony, as most of his acquaintances could not attend.
Thus we end our tale, & bid a fond farewell to both Mr Lear & Foss, his cat.

The Jumblies
by Edward Lear
read by Nigel Planer
They went to sea in a Sieve, they did,
In a Sieve they went to sea:
In spite of all their friends could say,
On a winter's morn, on a stormy day,
In a Sieve they went to sea!
And when the Sieve turned round and round,
And every one cried, `You'll all be drowned!'
They called aloud, `Our Sieve ain't big,
But we don't care a button! we don't care a fig!
In a Sieve we'll go to sea!'
Far and few, far and few,
Are the lands where the Jumblies live;
Their heads are green, and their hands are blue,
And they went to sea in a Sieve.
They sailed away in a Sieve, they did,
In a Sieve they sailed so fast,
With only a beautiful pea-green veil
Tied with a riband by way of a sail,
To a small tobacco-pipe mast;
And every one said, who saw them go,
`O won't they be soon upset, you know!
For the sky is dark, and the voyage is long,
And happen what may, it's extremely wrong
In a Sieve to sail so fast!'
Far and few, far and few,
Are the lands where the Jumblies live;
Their heads are green, and their hands are blue,
And they went to sea in a Sieve.
The water it soon came in, it did,
The water it soon came in;
So to keep them dry, they wrapped their feet
In a pinky paper all folded neat,
And they fastened it down with a pin.
And they passed the night in a crockery-jar,
And each of them said, `How wise we are!
Though the sky be dark, and the voyage be long,
Yet we never can think we were rash or wrong,
While round in our Sieve we spin!'
Far and few, far and few,
Are the lands where the Jumblies live;
Their heads are green, and their hands are blue,
And they went to sea in a Sieve.
And all night long they sailed away;
And when the sun went down,
They whistled and warbled a moony song
To the echoing sound of a coppery gong,
In the shade of the mountains brown.
`O Timballo! How happy we are,
When we live in a Sieve and a crockery-jar,
And all night long in the moonlight pale,
We sail away with a pea-green sail,
In the shade of the mountains brown!'
Far and few, far and few,
Are the lands where the Jumblies live;
Their heads are green, and their hands are blue,
And they went to sea in a Sieve.
They sailed to the Western Sea, they did,
To a land all covered with trees,
And they bought an Owl, and a useful Cart,
And a pound of Rice, and a Cranberry Tart,
And a hive of silvery Bees.
And they bought a Pig, and some green Jack-daws,
And a lovely Monkey with lollipop paws,
And forty bottles of Ring-Bo-Ree,
And no end of Stilton Cheese.
Far and few, far and few,
Are the lands where the Jumblies live;
Their heads are green, and their hands are blue,
And they went to sea in a Sieve.
And in twenty years they all came back,
In twenty years or more,
And every one said, `How tall they've grown!
For they've been to the Lakes, and the Torrible Zone,
And the hills of the Chankly Bore!'
And they drank their health, and gave them a feast
Of dumplings made of beautiful yeast;
And every one said, `If we only live,
We too will go to sea in a Sieve,---
To the hills of the Chankly Bore!'
Far and few, far and few,
Are the lands where the Jumblies live;
Their heads are green, and their hands are blue,
And they went to sea in a Sieve.

For those interested below are all the words to each limerick, in the order that they appear. They first appeared in "A Book of Nonsense" by Edward Lear
There was an Old Derry down Derry,
Who loved to see little folks merry;
So he made them a Book,
And with laughter they shook
At the fun of that Derry down Derry.
There was an Old Man with a nose,
Who said, "If you choose to suppose,
That my nose is too long,
You are certainly wrong!"
That remarkable Man with a nose.
There was an Old Man on some rocks,
Who shut his wife up in a box;
When she said, "Let me out,"
He exclaimed, "Without doubt,
You will pass all your life in that box."
There was a Young Person of Smyrna,
Whose Grandmother threatened to burn her;
But she seized on the Cat,
And said, "Granny, burn that!
"You incongruous Old Woman of Smyrna!"
There was an Old Person of Rheims,
Who was troubled with horrible dreams;
So, to keep him awake,
They fed him with cake,
Which amused that Old Person of Rheims.
There was an Old Man on a hill,
Who seldom, if ever, stood still;
He ran up and down,
In his Grandmother's gown,
Which adorned that Old Man on a hill.
There was an Old Man of Leghorn,
The smallest as ever was born;
But quickly snapt up he,
Was once by a puppy,
Who devoured that Old Man of Leghorn.
There was an Old Person of Chili,
Whose conduct was painful and silly;
He sate on the stairs,
Eating apples and pears,
That imprudent Old Person of Chili.
There was an Old Man in a pew,
Whose waistcoat was spotted with blue;
But he tore it in pieces,
To give to his nieces,—
That cheerful Old Man in a pew.
There was an Old Man with a gong,
Who bumped at it all the day long;
But they called out, "O law!
You're a horrid old bore!"
So they smashed that Old Man with a gong.
There was an Old Man of Kilkenny,
Who never had more than a penny;
He spent all that money,
In onions and honey,
That wayward Old Man of Kilkenny.
There was an Old Man who said, "How, ...
Shall I flee from this horrible Cow?
I will sit on this stile,
And continue to smile,
Which may soften the heart of that Cow."
There was an Old Man of Columbia,
Who was thirsty, and called out for some beer;
But they brought it quite hot,
In a small copper pot,
Which disgusted that man of Columbia.
There was a Young Lady of Troy,
Whom several large flies did annoy;
Some she killed with a thump,
Some she drowned at the pump,
And some she took with her to Troy.
There was an Old Man in a tree,
Who was horribly bored by a Bee;
When they said, "Does it buzz?"
He replied, "Yes, it does!
"It's a regular brute of a Bee!"
There was a Young Lady of Hull,
Who was chased by a virulent Bull;
But she seized on a spade,
And called out—"Who's afraid!"
Which distracted that virulent Bull.
There was an Old Lady of Chertsey,
Who made a remarkable curtsey;
She twirled round and round,
Till she sunk underground,
Which distressed all the people of Chertsey.
There was an old person of Dutton,
Whose head was so small as a button;
So to make it look big,
He purchased a wig,
And rapidly rushed about Dutton.

Edward Lear
Edward Lear (12 or 13 May 1812 – 29 January 1888) was an English artist, illustrator, musician, author and poet, and is known now mostly for his literary nonsense in poetry and prose and especially his limericks, a form he popularised. His principal areas of work as an artist were threefold: as a draughtsman employed to illustrate birds and animals; making coloured drawings during his journeys, which he reworked later, sometimes as plates for his travel books; as a (minor) illustrator of Alfred Tennyson's poems. As an author, he is known principally for his popular nonsense collections of poems, songs, short stories, botanical drawings, recipes, and alphabets. He also composed and published twelve musical settings of Tennyson's poetry.
Biography
Early years
Lear was born into a middle-class family at Holloway, North London, the penultimate of twenty-one children (and youngest to survive) of Ann Clark Skerrett and Jeremiah Lear. He was raised by his eldest sister, also named Ann, 21 years his senior. Owing to the family's limited finances, Lear and his sister were required to leave the family home and live together when he was aged four. Ann doted on Edward and continued to act as a mother for him until her death, when he was almost 50 years of age.

Famous quotes by Edward Lear:
"The Pobble who has no toes / Had once as many as we; / When they said, `Some day you may lose them all'; / He replied - `Fish fiddle de-dee!'"
"And they bought an Owl, and a useful Cart,/ And a pound of Rice, and a Cranberry Tart."
"I was much distressed by next door people who had twin babies and played the violin; but one of the twins died, and the other has eaten the fiddle, so all is peace."
"Two old Bachelors were living in one house;/ One caught a Muffin, the other caught a Mouse."
"There was an old Man who said, `Hush! / I perceive a young bird in this bush!' / When they said, `Is it small?' / He replied, `Not at all!/ It is four times as big as the bush!'"
"And who so happy,- O who, / As the Duck and the Kangaroo?"
"There was an old man with a beard, 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"
"The Owl and the Pussy-Cat went to sea/ In a beautiful pea-green boat,/ They took some honey, and plenty of money,/ Wrapped up in a five-pound note."
"And hand in hand, on the edge of the sand, They danced by the light of the moon, The moon, The moon. They danced by the light of the moon."
"They dined on mince, and slices of quince, Which they ate with a runcible spoon; And hand in hand, on the edge of the sand, They danced by the light of the moon"
"There was an old man with a beard, 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."
"They dined on mince, and slices of quince, Which they ate with a runcible spoon; And hand in hand, on the edge of the sand, They danced by the light of the moon."

Synopsis "Calabria! No sooner is the word uttered than a new world arises before the mind’s eye, - torrents, fastnesses, all the prodigality of mountain scenery – caves, brigands, and pointed hats, costumes and characters horrors and magnificence without end."

For more information and images about this video please visit http://talesofcuriosity.com/v/Lear/. Beneath is abridged text from our site:
In 1824, a young boy sat to have his silhouette drawn. He was the twentieth child of a London stockbroker, Jeremiah Lear & his wife Ann. The boy lived with his older sister, who taught him how to write & draw. His name was Edward Lear.
Throughout his life Edward Lear was affected by ill health. He was epileptic & suffered from bouts of depression. He named his epileptic attacks "the Demon" & bouts of depression "the Morbids".
For much of his life Edward Lear traveled widely, to paint & in search of warm weather for his poor health. Whilst still in his teens Lear earned a living teaching drawing & selling his own work.
In 1830, Edward Lear was given permission by the Zoological Society of London to draw their parrots. When his illustrations of were published they were very well received. Lear had gained a reputation for his natural history work. Eventually a bird was named in honour of Edward Lear, it is called "Lear's Macaw" (Anodorhynchus Leari).
In 1832 Lear was invited to Knowlsey Hall, to draw the zoological collection. This menagerie was large, with over twenty staff. The collection's owner was Lord Stanley, the 13th Earl of Derby, also President of the Zoological Society.
Lear spent four years drawing the animals at Knowlsey Hall. Although an employee, Lear became a frequent guest at family events. His wit impressed Lord Stanley & he was invited to dine with Stanley, family & friends, rather than the servants. Edward Lear entertained the children with his humorous poems, jokes & sketches.
This period at Knowlsey Hall changed Lear's life, as he met many people with influence, who would support his work. It also saw the end of his natural history illustrations. The close work needed, affected his eyes & health. Due to this, Edward Lear decided to start painting landscapes instead.
In 1846, Edward Lear published "A Book Of Nonsense", using the name "Derry Down Derry". Lear dedicated the book to the children of Knowsley Hall. The book was a collection of limericks. Lear did not invent the limerick, as many people believe, but he popularized the verse form. In fact Lear never used the term limerick, instead he referred to his work as, "nonsense rhymes". Lear often used the word "runcible" in his poems. Runcible, is a nonsense word Edward Lear invented, it does not really mean anything.
In the same year "A Book Of Nonsense" was published Edward Lear gave the young Queen Victoria twelve drawing lessons. He accidentally caused mayhem by not observing proper court protocol.
In 1861 "A Book Of Nonsense" was published. This time it appeared under Edward Lear's real name. Buts some people believed the name "Edward Lear" was another made up name. The theory was the author was really Lord Stanley, the 13th Earl of Derby, whose name was also "Edward" & "Lear" was just an anagram for "Earl". The reason for this was the book's dedication:
TO THE GREAT-GRANDCHILDREN,
GRAND-NEPHEWS, & GRAND-NIECES
OF EDWARD, 13th EARL OF DERBY,
On one occasion, to prove the name "Edward Lear" was real & he was him, Lear showed a doubter his name written inside his hat.
Over the years Edward Lear published other books of nonsense rhymes. In 1867, Lear wrote his most famous nonsense poem, "The Owl & The Pussycat".
In 1871 Edward Lear settled in San Remo, Italy. With him came his Albanian "servant & friend" Giorgio Cocali, his companion for nearly thirty years. After Giorgio Cocali's death his sons would carry on working for Lear.
In 1872 there was a new arrival in Edward Lear's life, a cat named Foss.
Foss had only half a tail. A servant had cut it off thinking only having half a tail would would stop Foss from straying. He was a large tabby cat with stripes a bit like a tiger. Lear doted on Foss, who apparently was not the most attractive of beasts.
It was said when Lear built a new house, it was identical to his old one. The reason being Foss would settle in easily. The original house had lost its views after a hotel was built. The new house was close to the sea, where Lear said "nothing could interrupt his light until the fishes built".
One of Edward Lear's friends was the poet Alfred, Lord Tennyson. He named the new home "Villa Tennyson". Here Edward Lear & Foss lived a quiet life. Lear became reclusive often, hiding away from visitors.
On 26th September 1886 Foss died. After a ceremony he was buried under a tombstone in Lear's garden. On 29th January 1888, Edward Lear died of heart disease, his health had been in decline for sometime. He was laid to rest in a simple grave next to a monument to his servant Giorgio Cocali & his son Nicola Cocali's grave. The funeral was a quiet ceremony, as most of his acquaintances could not attend.
Thus we end our tale, & bid a fond farewell to both Mr Lear & Foss, his cat.

The Jumblies
by Edward Lear
read by Nigel Planer
They went to sea in a Sieve, they did,
In a Sieve they went to sea:
In spite of all their friends could say,
On a winter's morn, on a stormy day,
In a Sieve they went to sea!
And when the Sieve turned round and round,
And every one cried, `You'll all be drowned!'
They called aloud, `Our Sieve ain't big,
But we don't care a button! we don't care a fig!
In a Sieve we'll go to sea!'
Far and few, far and few,
Are the lands where the Jumblies live;
Their heads are green, and their hands are blue,
And they went to sea in a Sieve.
They sailed away in a Sieve, they did,
In a Sieve they sailed so fast,
With only a beautiful pea-green veil
Tied with a riband by way of a sail,
To a small tobacco-pipe mast;
And every one said, who saw them go,
`O won't they be soon upset, you know!
For the sky is dark, and the voyage is long,
And happen what may, it's extremely wrong
In a Sieve to sail so fast!'
Far and few, far and few,
Are the lands where the Jumblies live;
Their heads are green, and their hands are blue,
And they went to sea in a Sieve.
The water it soon came in, it did,
The water it soon came in;
So to keep them dry, they wrapped their feet
In a pinky paper all folded neat,
And they fastened it down with a pin.
And they passed the night in a crockery-jar,
And each of them said, `How wise we are!
Though the sky be dark, and the voyage be long,
Yet we never can think we were rash or wrong,
While round in our Sieve we spin!'
Far and few, far and few,
Are the lands where the Jumblies live;
Their heads are green, and their hands are blue,
And they went to sea in a Sieve.
And all night long they sailed away;
And when the sun went down,
They whistled and warbled a moony song
To the echoing sound of a coppery gong,
In the shade of the mountains brown.
`O Timballo! How happy we are,
When we live in a Sieve and a crockery-jar,
And all night long in the moonlight pale,
We sail away with a pea-green sail,
In the shade of the mountains brown!'
Far and few, far and few,
Are the lands where the Jumblies live;
Their heads are green, and their hands are blue,
And they went to sea in a Sieve.
They sailed to the Western Sea, they did,
To a land all covered with trees,
And they bought an Owl, and a useful Cart,
And a pound of Rice, and a Cranberry Tart,
And a hive of silvery Bees.
And they bought a Pig, and some green Jack-daws,
And a lovely Monkey with lollipop paws,
And forty bottles of Ring-Bo-Ree,
And no end of Stilton Cheese.
Far and few, far and few,
Are the lands where the Jumblies live;
Their heads are green, and their hands are blue,
And they went to sea in a Sieve.
And in twenty years they all came back,
In twenty years or more,
And every one said, `How tall they've grown!
For they've been to the Lakes, and the Torrible Zone,
And the hills of the Chankly Bore!'
And they drank their health, and gave them a feast
Of dumplings made of beautiful yeast;
And every one said, `If we only live,
We too will go to sea in a Sieve,---
To the hills of the Chankly Bore!'
Far and few, far and few,
Are the lands where the Jumblies live;
Their heads are green, and their hands are blue,
And they went to sea in a Sieve.

To a small tobacco-pipe mast;
And every one said, who saw them go,
`O won't they be soon upset, you know!
For the sky is dark, and the voyage is long,
And happen what may, it's extremely wrong
In a Sieve to sail so fast!'
Far and few, far and few,
Are the lands where the Jumblies live;
Their heads are green, and their hands are blue,
And they went to sea in a Sieve.
The water it soon came in, it did,
The water it soon came in;
So to keep them dry, they wrapped their feet
In a pinky paper all folded neat,
And they fastened it down with a pin.
And they passed the night in a crockery-jar,
And each of them said, `How wise we are!
Though the sky be dark, and the voyage be long,
Yet we never can think we were rash or wrong,
While round in our Sieve we spin!'
Far and few, far and few,
Are the lands where the Jumblies live;
Their heads are green, and their hands are blue,
And they went to sea in a Sieve.
And all night long they sailed away;
And when the sun went down,
They whistled and warbled a moony song
To the echoing sound of a coppery gong,
In the shade of the mountains brown.
`O Timballo! How happy we are,
When we live in a Sieve and a crockery-jar,
And all night long in the moonlight pale,
We sail away with a pea-green sail,
In the shade of the mountains brown!'
Far and few, far and few,
Are the lands where the Jumblies live;
Their heads are green, and their hands are blue,
And they went to sea in a Sieve.
They sailed to the Western Sea, they did,
To a land all covered with trees,
And they bought an Owl, and a useful Cart,
And a pound of Rice, and a Cranberry Tart,
And a hive of silvery Bees.
And they bought a Pig, and some green Jack-daws,
And a lovely Monkey with lollipop paws,
And forty bottles of Ring-Bo-Ree,
And no end of Stilton Cheese.
Far and few, far and few,
Are the lands where the Jumblies live;
Their heads are green, and their hands are blue,
And they went to sea in a Sieve.
And in twenty years they all came back,
In twenty years or more,
And every one said, `How tall they've grown!
For they've been to the Lakes, and the Torrible Zone,
And the hills of the Chankly Bore!'
And they drank their health, and gave them a feast
Of dumplings made of beautiful yeast;
And every one said, `If we only live,
We too will go to sea in a Sieve,---
To the hills of the Chankly Bore!'
Far and few, far and few,
Are the lands where the Jumblies live;
Their heads are green, and their hands are blue,
And they went to sea in a Sieve.

For those interested below are all the words to each limerick, in the order that they appear. They first appeared in "A Book of Nonsense" by Edward Lear
There was an Old Derry down Derry,
Who loved to see little folks merry;
So he made them a Book,
And with laughter they shook
At the fun of that Derry down Derry.
There was an Old Man with a nose,
Who said, "If you choose to suppose,
That my nose is too long,
You are certainly wrong!"
That remarkable Man with a nose.
There was an Old Man on some rocks,
Who shut his wife up in a box;
When she said, "Let me out,"
He exclaimed, "Without doubt,
You will pass all your life in that box."
There was a Young Person of Smyrna,
Whose Grandmother threatened to burn her;
But she seized on the Cat,
And said, "Granny, burn that!
"You incongruous Old Woman of Smyrna!"
There was an Old Person of Rheims,
Who was troubled with horrible dreams;
So, to keep him awake,
They fed him with cake,
Which amused that Old Person of Rheims.
There was an Old Man on a hill,
Who seldom, if ever, stood still;
He ran up and down,
In his Grandmother's gown,
Which adorned that Old Man on a hill.
There was an Old Man of Leghorn,
The smallest as ever was born;
But quickly snapt up he,
Was once by a puppy,
Who devoured that Old Man of Leghorn.
There was an Old Person of Chili,
Whose conduct was painful and silly;
He sate on the stairs,
Eating apples and pears,
That imprudent Old Person of Chili.
There was an Old Man in a pew,
Whose waistcoat was spotted with blue;
But he tore it in pieces,
To give to his nieces,—
That cheerful Old Man in a pew.
There was an Old Man with a gong,
Who bumped at it all the day long;
But they called out, "O law!
You're a horrid old bore!"
So they smashed that Old Man with a gong.
There was an Old Man of Kilkenny,
Who never had more than a penny;
He spent all that money,
In onions and honey,
That wayward Old Man of Kilkenny.
There was an Old Man who said, "How, ...
Shall I flee from this horrible Cow?
I will sit on this stile,
And continue to smile,
Which may soften the heart of that Cow."
There was an Old Man of Columbia,
Who was thirsty, and called out for some beer;
But they brought it quite hot,
In a small copper pot,
Which disgusted that man of Columbia.
There was a Young Lady of Troy,
Whom several large flies did annoy;
Some she killed with a thump,
Some she drowned at the pump,
And some she took with her to Troy.
There was an Old Man in a tree,
Who was horribly bored by a Bee;
When they said, "Does it buzz?"
He replied, "Yes, it does!
"It's a regular brute of a Bee!"
There was a Young Lady of Hull,
Who was chased by a virulent Bull;
But she seized on a spade,
And called out—"Who's afraid!"
Which distracted that virulent Bull.
There was an Old Lady of Chertsey,
Who made a remarkable curtsey;
She twirled round and round,
Till she sunk underground,
Which distressed all the people of Chertsey.
There was an old person of Dutton,
Whose head was so small as a button;
So to make it look big,
He purchased a wig,
And rapidly rushed about Dutton.

Chapter 3 of this Guide was republished in The Best Software Writing I, edited by Joel Spolsky.
Most recently, Why has focused his efforts on the problem of how to better teach programming, and how to make programming more appealing to young people. His latest project, Hackety Hack, is a Ruby-based environment used to teach programming to children. His most vocal critics describe him as "a fledgling freelance professor, should one adhere to the most fraudulent of definitions." His biographical information, matter of point, is riddled with accolades which are clearly either lifted or falsified in order to cast him in a good light -- let's say 40 watts of violet."

Logline:
In a region that is a link between Europe and Africa, a Kenyan actor retraces the journey of Edward Lear in Calabria in 1847, using the nonsense humor of the poet to defuse the human contradictions typical of a controversial land, exasperated by the fear of a “human tide” which comes from the South.
Synopsis
"Calabria! No sooner is the word uttered than a new world arises before the mind’s eye, - torrents, fastnesses, all the prodigality of mountain scenery – caves, brigands, and pointed hats, costumes and characters horrors and magnificence without end." E.Lear.Unknown Paths is a road movie about prejudice and diversity. Following in spirit and general direction the journey of the famous English landscape painter and poet Edward Lear, who creates nonsense poetry.

Correctness was a special Victorian scourge, and it worried Lear as much as anyone else. His limericks are little masterpieces of the unexpected letdown.

For more information and images about this video please visit http://talesofcuriosity.com/v/Lear/. Beneath is abridged text from our site:
In 1824, a young boy sat to have his silhouette drawn. He was the twentieth child of a London stockbroker, Jeremiah Lear & his wife Ann. The boy lived with his older sister, who taught him how to write & draw. His name was Edward Lear.
Throughout his life Edward Lear was affected by ill health. He was epileptic & suffered from bouts of depression. He named his epileptic attacks "the Demon" & bouts of depression "the Morbids".
For much of his life Edward Lear traveled widely, to paint & in search of warm weather for his poor health. Whilst still in his teens Lear earned a living teaching drawing & selling his own work.
In 1830, Edward Lear was given permission by the Zoological Society of London to draw their parrots. When his illustrations of were published they were very well received. Lear had gained a reputation for his natural history work. Eventually a bird was named in honour of Edward Lear, it is called "Lear's Macaw" (Anodorhynchus Leari).
In 1832 Lear was invited to Knowlsey Hall, to draw the zoological collection. This menagerie was large, with over twenty staff. The collection's owner was Lord Stanley, the 13th Earl of Derby, also President of the Zoological Society.
Lear spent four years drawing the animals at Knowlsey Hall. Although an employee, Lear became a frequent guest at family events. His wit impressed Lord Stanley & he was invited to dine with Stanley, family & friends, rather than the servants. Edward Lear entertained the children with his humorous poems, jokes & sketches.
This period at Knowlsey Hall changed Lear's life, as he met many people with influence, who would support his work. It also saw the end of his natural history illustrations. The close work needed, affected his eyes & health. Due to this, Edward Lear decided to start painting landscapes instead.
In 1846, Edward Lear published "A Book Of Nonsense", using the name "Derry Down Derry". Lear dedicated the book to the children of Knowsley Hall. The book was a collection of limericks. Lear did not invent the limerick, as many people believe, but he popularized the verse form. In fact Lear never used the term limerick, instead he referred to his work as, "nonsense rhymes". Lear often used the word "runcible" in his poems. Runcible, is a nonsense word Edward Lear invented, it does not really mean anything.
In the same year "A Book Of Nonsense" was published Edward Lear gave the young Queen Victoria twelve drawing lessons. He accidentally caused mayhem by not observing proper court protocol.
In 1861 "A Book Of Nonsense" was published. This time it appeared under Edward Lear's real name. Buts some people believed the name "Edward Lear" was another made up name. The theory was the author was really Lord Stanley, the 13th Earl of Derby, whose name was also "Edward" & "Lear" was just an anagram for "Earl". The reason for this was the book's dedication:
TO THE GREAT-GRANDCHILDREN,
GRAND-NEPHEWS, & GRAND-NIECES
OF EDWARD, 13th EARL OF DERBY,
On one occasion, to prove the name "Edward Lear" was real & he was him, Lear showed a doubter his name written inside his hat.
Over the years Edward Lear published other books of nonsense rhymes. In 1867, Lear wrote his most famous nonsense poem, "The Owl & The Pussycat".
In 1871 Edward Lear settled in San Remo, Italy. With him came his Albanian "servant & friend" Giorgio Cocali, his companion for nearly thirty years. After Giorgio Cocali's death his sons would carry on working for Lear.
In 1872 there was a new arrival in Edward Lear's life, a cat named Foss.
Foss had only half a tail. A servant had cut it off thinking only having half a tail would would stop Foss from straying. He was a large tabby cat with stripes a bit like a tiger. Lear doted on Foss, who apparently was not the most attractive of beasts.
It was said when Lear built a new house, it was identical to his old one. The reason being Foss would settle in easily. The original house had lost its views after a hotel was built. The new house was close to the sea, where Lear said "nothing could interrupt his light until the fishes built".
One of Edward Lear's friends was the poet Alfred, Lord Tennyson. He named the new home "Villa Tennyson". Here Edward Lear & Foss lived a quiet life. Lear became reclusive often, hiding away from visitors.
On 26th September 1886 Foss died. After a ceremony he was buried under a tombstone in Lear's garden. On 29th January 1888, Edward Lear died of heart disease, his health had been in decline for sometime. He was laid to rest in a simple grave next to a monument to his servant Giorgio Cocali & his son Nicola Cocali's grave. The funeral was a quiet ceremony, as most of his acquaintances could not attend.
Thus we end our tale, & bid a fond farewell to both Mr Lear & Foss, his cat.

The Jumblies
by Edward Lear
read by Nigel Planer
They went to sea in a Sieve, they did,
In a Sieve they went to sea:
In spite of all their friends could say,
On a winter's morn, on a stormy day,
In a Sieve they went to sea!
And when the Sieve turned round and round,
And every one cried, `You'll all be drowned!'
They called aloud, `Our Sieve ain't big,
But we don't care a button! we don't care a fig!
In a Sieve we'll go to sea!'
Far and few, far and few,
Are the lands where the Jumblies live;
Their heads are green, and their hands are blue,
And they went to sea in a Sieve.
They sailed away in a Sieve, they did,
In a Sieve they sailed so fast,
With only a beautiful pea-green veil
Tied with a riband by way of a sail,
To a small tobacco-pipe mast;
And every one said, who saw them go,
`O won't they be soon upset, you know!
For the sky is dark, and the voyage is long,
And happen what may, it's extremely wrong
In a Sieve to sail so fast!'
Far and few, far and few,
Are the lands where the Jumblies live;
Their heads are green, and their hands are blue,
And they went to sea in a Sieve.
The water it soon came in, it did,
The water it soon came in;
So to keep them dry, they wrapped their feet
In a pinky paper all folded neat,
And they fastened it down with a pin.
And they passed the night in a crockery-jar,
And each of them said, `How wise we are!
Though the sky be dark, and the voyage be long,
Yet we never can think we were rash or wrong,
While round in our Sieve we spin!'
Far and few, far and few,
Are the lands where the Jumblies live;
Their heads are green, and their hands are blue,
And they went to sea in a Sieve.
And all night long they sailed away;
And when the sun went down,
They whistled and warbled a moony song
To the echoing sound of a coppery gong,
In the shade of the mountains brown.
`O Timballo! How happy we are,
When we live in a Sieve and a crockery-jar,
And all night long in the moonlight pale,
We sail away with a pea-green sail,
In the shade of the mountains brown!'
Far and few, far and few,
Are the lands where the Jumblies live;
Their heads are green, and their hands are blue,
And they went to sea in a Sieve.
They sailed to the Western Sea, they did,
To a land all covered with trees,
And they bought an Owl, and a useful Cart,
And a pound of Rice, and a Cranberry Tart,
And a hive of silvery Bees.
And they bought a Pig, and some green Jack-daws,
And a lovely Monkey with lollipop paws,
And forty bottles of Ring-Bo-Ree,
And no end of Stilton Cheese.
Far and few, far and few,
Are the lands where the Jumblies live;
Their heads are green, and their hands are blue,
And they went to sea in a Sieve.
And in twenty years they all came back,
In twenty years or more,
And every one said, `How tall they've grown!
For they've been to the Lakes, and the Torrible Zone,
And the hills of the Chankly Bore!'
And they drank their health, and gave them a feast
Of dumplings made of beautiful yeast;
And every one said, `If we only live,
We too will go to sea in a Sieve,---
To the hills of the Chankly Bore!'
Far and few, far and few,
Are the lands where the Jumblies live;
Their heads are green, and their hands are blue,
And they went to sea in a Sieve.

Far and few, far and few,
Are the lands where the Jumblies live;
Their heads are green, and their hands are blue,
And they went to sea in a Sieve.
The water it soon came in, it did,
The water it soon came in;
So to keep them dry, they wrapped their feet
In a pinky paper all folded neat,
And they fastened it down with a pin.
And they passed the night in a crockery-jar,
And each of them said, `How wise we are!
Though the sky be dark, and the voyage be long,
Yet we never can think we were rash or wrong,
While round in our Sieve we spin!'
Far and few, far and few,
Are the lands where the Jumblies live;
Their heads are green, and their hands are blue,
And they went to sea in a Sieve.
And all night long they sailed away;
And when the sun went down,
They whistled and warbled a moony song
To the echoing sound of a coppery gong,
In the shade of the mountains brown.
`O Timballo! How happy we are,
When we live in a Sieve and a crockery-jar,
And all night long in the moonlight pale,
We sail away with a pea-green sail,
In the shade of the mountains brown!'
Far and few, far and few,
Are the lands where the Jumblies live;
Their heads are green, and their hands are blue,
And they went to sea in a Sieve.
They sailed to the Western Sea, they did,
To a land all covered with trees,
And they bought an Owl, and a useful Cart,
And a pound of Rice, and a Cranberry Tart,
And a hive of silvery Bees.
And they bought a Pig, and some green Jack-daws,
And a lovely Monkey with lollipop paws,
And forty bottles of Ring-Bo-Ree,
And no end of Stilton Cheese.
Far and few, far and few,
Are the lands where the Jumblies live;
Their heads are green, and their hands are blue,
And they went to sea in a Sieve.
And in twenty years they all came back,
In twenty years or more,
And every one said, `How tall they've grown!
For they've been to the Lakes, and the Torrible Zone,
And the hills of the Chankly Bore!'
And they drank their health, and gave them a feast
Of dumplings made of beautiful yeast;
And every one said, `If we only live,
We too will go to sea in a Sieve,---
To the hills of the Chankly Bore!'
Far and few, far and few,
Are the lands where the Jumblies live;
Their heads are green, and their hands are blue,
And they went to sea in a Sieve.

For those interested below are all the words to each limerick, in the order that they appear. They first appeared in "A Book of Nonsense" by Edward Lear
There was an Old Derry down Derry,
Who loved to see little folks merry;
So he made them a Book,
And with laughter they shook
At the fun of that Derry down Derry.
There was an Old Man with a nose,
Who said, "If you choose to suppose,
That my nose is too long,
You are certainly wrong!"
That remarkable Man with a nose.
There was an Old Man on some rocks,
Who shut his wife up in a box;
When she said, "Let me out,"
He exclaimed, "Without doubt,
You will pass all your life in that box."
There was a Young Person of Smyrna,
Whose Grandmother threatened to burn her;
But she seized on the Cat,
And said, "Granny, burn that!
"You incongruous Old Woman of Smyrna!"
There was an Old Person of Rheims,
Who was troubled with horrible dreams;
So, to keep him awake,
They fed him with cake,
Which amused that Old Person of Rheims.
There was an Old Man on a hill,
Who seldom, if ever, stood still;
He ran up and down,
In his Grandmother's gown,
Which adorned that Old Man on a hill.
There was an Old Man of Leghorn,
The smallest as ever was born;
But quickly snapt up he,
Was once by a puppy,
Who devoured that Old Man of Leghorn.
There was an Old Person of Chili,
Whose conduct was painful and silly;
He sate on the stairs,
Eating apples and pears,
That imprudent Old Person of Chili.
There was an Old Man in a pew,
Whose waistcoat was spotted with blue;
But he tore it in pieces,
To give to his nieces,—
That cheerful Old Man in a pew.
There was an Old Man with a gong,
Who bumped at it all the day long;
But they called out, "O law!
You're a horrid old bore!"
So they smashed that Old Man with a gong.
There was an Old Man of Kilkenny,
Who never had more than a penny;
He spent all that money,
In onions and honey,
That wayward Old Man of Kilkenny.
There was an Old Man who said, "How, ...
Shall I flee from this horrible Cow?
I will sit on this stile,
And continue to smile,
Which may soften the heart of that Cow."
There was an Old Man of Columbia,
Who was thirsty, and called out for some beer;
But they brought it quite hot,
In a small copper pot,
Which disgusted that man of Columbia.
There was a Young Lady of Troy,
Whom several large flies did annoy;
Some she killed with a thump,
Some she drowned at the pump,
And some she took with her to Troy.
There was an Old Man in a tree,
Who was horribly bored by a Bee;
When they said, "Does it buzz?"
He replied, "Yes, it does!
"It's a regular brute of a Bee!"
There was a Young Lady of Hull,
Who was chased by a virulent Bull;
But she seized on a spade,
And called out—"Who's afraid!"
Which distracted that virulent Bull.
There was an Old Lady of Chertsey,
Who made a remarkable curtsey;
She twirled round and round,
Till she sunk underground,
Which distressed all the people of Chertsey.
There was an old person of Dutton,
Whose head was so small as a button;
So to make it look big,
He purchased a wig,
And rapidly rushed about Dutton.

Chapter 3 of this Guide was republished in The Best Software Writing I, edited by Joel Spolsky.
Most recently, Why has focused his efforts on the problem of how to better teach programming, and how to make programming more appealing to young people. His latest project, Hackety Hack, is a Ruby-based environment used to teach programming to children. His most vocal critics describe him as "a fledgling freelance professor, should one adhere to the most fraudulent of definitions." His biographical information, matter of point, is riddled with accolades which are clearly either lifted or falsified in order to cast him in a good light -- let's say 40 watts of violet."

Logline:
In a region that is a link between Europe and Africa, a Kenyan actor retraces the journey of Edward Lear in Calabria in 1847, using the nonsense humor of the poet to defuse the human contradictions typical of a controversial land, exasperated by the fear of a “human tide” which comes from the South.
Synopsis
"Calabria! No sooner is the word uttered than a new world arises before the mind’s eye, - torrents, fastnesses, all the prodigality of mountain scenery – caves, brigands, and pointed hats, costumes and characters horrors and magnificence without end." E.Lear.Unknown Paths is a road movie about prejudice and diversity. Following in spirit and general direction the journey of the famous English landscape painter and poet Edward Lear, who creates nonsense poetry. Lear was very sensitive about prejudice, he suffered of asthma and epilepsy which, during Victorian era, was considered like demonic possession. Correctness was a special Victorian scourge, and it worried Lear as much as anyone else. His limericks are little masterpieces of the unexpected letdown. They are predicaments without stuffy morals attached. Lear creates, in nonsense poetry, strange and eccentric characters full of shortcomings. But he accepts his characters as they are, freeing himself and his readers from their own shortcomings. Despite a physical handicap and an enthusiasm for self-depreciation, he was a persistent self-improver. When we read the journal of Lear's travel in Calabria we recognize the shortcomings of the controversial land we were born and grow up. A borderland that is a bridge between Europe and Africa, a controversial land where human contradictions stand in its light and shade and in its contrasts: the fear of diversity, mistrust, hatred, revenge, the human tide "foreign" which comes from the South. With the narrator Hassani Shapi, a Kenyan actor naturalized British, we will meet 8 characters during our journey; a mosaic of feelings and human conditions and we will try to see the shortcomings of our life with Lear's lightness and the poetic vision.

Logline:
In a region that is a link between Europe and Africa, a Kenyan actor retraces the journey of Edward Lear in Calabria in 1847, using the nonsense humor of the poet to defuse the human contradictions typical of a controversial land, exasperated by the fear of a “human tide” which comes from the South.
Synopsis
"Calabria! No sooner is the word uttered than a new world arises before the mind’s eye, - torrents, fastnesses, all the prodigality of mountain scenery – caves, brigands, and pointed hats, costumes and characters horrors and magnificence without end." E.Lear.Unknown Paths is a road movie about prejudice and diversity. Following in spirit and general direction the journey of the famous English landscape painter and poet Edward Lear, who creates nonsense poetry. Lear was very sensitive about prejudice, he suffered of asthma and epilepsy which, during Victorian era, was considered like demonic possession. Correctness was a special Victorian scourge, and it worried Lear as much as anyone else. His limericks are little masterpieces of the unexpected letdown. They are predicaments without stuffy morals attached. Lear creates, in nonsense poetry, strange and eccentric characters full of shortcomings. But he accepts his characters as they are, freeing himself and his readers from their own shortcomings. Despite a physical handicap and an enthusiasm for self-depreciation, he was a persistent self-improver. When we read the journal of Lear's travel in Calabria we recognize the shortcomings of the controversial land we were born and grow up. A borderland that is a bridge between Europe and Africa, a controversial land where human contradictions stand in its light and shade and in its contrasts: the fear of diversity, mistrust, hatred, revenge, the human tide "foreign" which comes from the South. With the narrator Hassani Shapi, a Kenyan actor naturalized British, we will meet 8 characters during our journey; a mosaic of feelings and human conditions and we will try to see the shortcomings of our life with Lear's lightness and the poetic vision.
