Merlin is a legendary figure best known as the wizard featured in Arthurian legend. The standard depiction of the character first appears in Geoffrey of Monmouth's Historia Regum Britanniae, written c. 1136, and is based on an amalgamation of previous historical and legendary figures. Geoffrey combined existing stories of Myrddin Wyllt (Merlinus Caledonensis), a North Brythonic prophet and madman with no connection to King Arthur, with tales of the Romano-British war leader Ambrosius Aurelianus to form the composite figure he called Merlin Ambrosius (Welsh: Myrddin Emrys). He is allegedly buried in the Broceliande forest, near Paimpont in Brittany.
Geoffrey's rendering of the character was immediately popular, especially in Wales. Later writers expanded the account to produce a fuller image of the wizard. Merlin's traditional biography casts him as a cambion: born of a mortal woman, sired by an incubus, the non-human from whom he inherits his supernatural powers and abilities. The name of Merlin's mother is not usually stated but is given as Adhan in the oldest version of the Prose Brut. Merlin matures to an ascendant sagehood and engineers the birth of Arthur through magic and intrigue. Later authors have Merlin serve as the king's advisor until he is bewitched and imprisoned by the Lady of the Lake.
Closer Than Ever is a musical revue in two acts, with words by Richard Maltby, Jr. and music by David Shire. The revue contains no dialogue, and Maltby and Shire have described this show as a "bookless book musical". The show was originally conceived by Steven Scott Smith as a one act revue entitled "Next Time Now!", which was first given at the nightclub Eighty-Eights.
The success of "Next Time Now!" led to a much expanded production retitled Closer Than Ever that was co-directed by Maltby and Smith. This production began its life at the Williamstown Theatre Festival in Massachusetts during the Summer of 1989. It came to New York the following Fall, opening in previews on 17 October 1989, and officially opening on 6 November 1989 at the off-Broadway Cherry Lane Theatre, where it ran for 312 performances. The cast included Brent Barrett, Sally Mayes, Richard Muenz, and Lynne Wintersteller.
Closer Than Ever features self-contained songs which deal with such diverse topics as security, aging, mid-life crisis, second marriages, working couples, and unrequited love. Maltby and Shire based many of the songs on real-life experiences of their friends, or stories told to them. The revue won the Outer Critics Circle Award for Best Off-Broadway Musical and Maltby, Shire, and Wintersteller all garnered Drama Desk Award nominations for their respective contributions. The original New York cast recorded an album of the revue for RCA Victor (RCA Victor 60399).
Arthur is a common masculine given name. Its etymology is disputed, but its popularity derives from its being the name of the legendary hero King Arthur.
Art and Artie are diminutive forms of the name. A common spelling variant used in many Slavic, Romance, and Germanic languages is Artur.
The origin of the name Arthur remains a matter of debate. Some suggest it is derived from the Roman nomen gentile (family name) Artōrius, of obscure and contested etymology (but possibly of Messapic or Etruscan origin). Some scholars have noted that the legendary King Arthur's name only appears as Arthur, or Arturus, in early Latin Arthurian texts, never as Artōrius (although the Classical Latin Artōrius became Arturius in some Vulgar Latin dialects). However, this may not say anything about the origin of the name Arthur, as Artōrius would regularly become Art(h)ur when borrowed into Welsh.
Another possibility is that it is derived from a Brittonic patronym *Arto-rīg-ios (the root of which, *arto-rīg- "bear-king" is to be found in the Old Irish personal name Art-ri) via a Latinized form Artōrius. Less likely is the commonly proposed derivation from Welsh arth "bear" + (g)wr "man" (earlier *Arto-uiros in Brittonic); there are phonological difficulties with this theory—notably that a Brittonic compound name *Arto-uiros should produce Old Welsh *Artgur and Middle/Modern Welsh *Arthwr and not Arthur (in Welsh poetry the name is always spelled Arthur and is exclusively rhymed with words ending in -ur—never words ending in -wr—which confirms that the second element cannot be [g]wr "man").
Band: Merlin (Rus) Album: Brutal Constructor Song: Closer Than Ever Genre: Brutal Death/Thrash Metal/Grindcore Lyrics: Latest summer It was a pretty midday Not a cloud in the sky No wind, the sun was shining On a glade, among grass and flowers Children frisked cheerfully Running and laughing In a few miles In a dirty cave A bloodthirsty maniac Prepared for an attack Not a sign Not a sign of danger No one knew the death was near Closer than ever The police called that guy Peter Wild Searching for him for 3 years Theyve inspected all garrets and slams Unsuccessfully Peter was a sociopath Throwing at children grenades Shooting them without remorse He killed a hell of kids Well, the maniac has a last drink Takes his weapons and leaves He makes his way through the wood Murmuring some simple t...

Broken Heart is copyrighted to Falling Up and their associated producers. Gah! Just wanted to say how PROUD I am of this video. I love the way this one came out, and, considering it was made in WMM (which kept crashing ARRRGH!) it worked out pretty fine and dandy. If I do say so myself. Which I do. Instead of blathering on I shall summarise with two things: 1) It took three hours to make the opening twenty odd seconds. 2) I shall now tell you the storyline, and enjoy the AMV! STORY: Merlin is very close to Arthu...
Made because Merlin and Arthur always rescue each other. Slightly AU storyline. Merlin and Arthur have been together a long time. At first it was happy but things soon get strained between the two. They know that their relationship is going downhill but they choose to ignore it. However, Merlin decides that it is time to leave. Arthur realises that he made a mistake in letting him go. Uther tells him that he caused it and he might just have to live with it. Nevertheless he goes in search for the one person who has rescued him throughout his life. When Arthur is attacked Merlin finds him in the forest and saves him. They are reconciled and Arthur is sorry for acting the way he did, but Merlin tells him that it wasn't his fault. When they return to Camelot, Merlin is poisoned and it is Art...

I passed the first round and in this round I had to do a funny video. I don't make funny videos never, so I hope that I did well... I hope you like it and that the vid make you laugh, or be a little more happy. ~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~ You can find the songs in the end of the video. Thanks for watching!!
This is my first video. Hope you enjoy it! it took ALOT of mucking around to get the file types and everything right to upload. This video explores two loves. One which works and one which doesn't. I found myself almost crying making this, the scenes with Merlin saying goodbye to Freya are heartbreaking, and I hope my video and song does them justice. The song is by Australian artist Kate Miller-Heidke, called The Last Day on Earth, from the album "Curiouser" The lyrics are as follows: Look down, The ground below is crumbling. Look up, The stars are all exploding. Hey yeah, hey yeah oh Hey yeah, hey yeah It's the last, day on earth, In my dreams, in my dreams, It's the end, of the world, And you've come back, to me. In my dreams. Between, The dust and the debris....
my late entry for the amazing merlin competition! Im so grateful i was allowed to post my entry! unfortunately, i had exams and due that i wasnt able to upload it yesterday. Uploading it today :) Storyline[AU] Everything goes just like in the series - Merlin is a good guy helping everyone... or is he? No one knew him that well to know. Before diying, his mother sends a letter to Gaius telling him about Merlin's real character. She feels like she needs to tell someone what evil is there in her son. Gaius confronts Merlin telling him he knows. Merlin has no other choice but to kill his good friend. Devastated by that, and affected by the evil demon inside, Merlin falls into a deep depression. He becomes darker with each day. Morgana confronts him telling that she knows he killed Gaius. ...
Watch in HD for best quality, and use headphones. This took me a while to make (I think I used almost every episode of the series in here! ), but it was fun. I've been wanting to make a video with all Merlin's powerful magic scenes for a while. Making this video though really emphasized to me that most of Merlin's awesome magic scenes are in the earlier seasons! This is so wrong. I feel like the writers got lazy once again and kept doing the "throw me backwards spells" instead of trying to come up with something more interesting! Gah! Ah, well, I hope you enjoy the video. It honestly didn't come out quite as good as I'd been picturing in my head, but then that happens a lot. ******************************************************************** "Copyright Disclaimer Under Section 107 of t...
