Philip larkin by andrew motion5/26/2023 A martini, Motion tells him, before realising something else might be on offer. The fairy-tale quest continues at Oxford, where Motion encounters the elderly Auden, who stations himself by a Hockney painting of a naked youth before asking him ‘what like’. Perhaps this is the price to be paid for close access to the poet’s shade. Motion is not vocally perturbed by this, then or now. Soon he is staying over at Keynes’s house, where his host pulls back the sheets in the morning to admire the young man’s legs. ‘I wanted something more exalted,’ declares a disappointed Motion.īack at home, he is surprised to learn that Brooke’s literary executor, Geoffrey Keynes, lives nearby. It is a strangely anticlimactic moment: no poetry is recited in this ‘corner of a foreign field’, not even ‘The Soldier’. Some sun-baked wanderings later, the white sarcophagus is located. One summer Andrew Motion and his fellow sixth-formers take off for Skyros, where the future poet laureate plans to track down Brooke’s grave. I t all starts with a Rupert Brooke complex.

At Home by Bill Bryson5/26/2023 This, along with other Victorian “architectural bewilderments” of his home, caused Bryson to consider how little he really knew about the everyday things in his life. In his introduction, Bryson describes how his search for the source of a mysterious drip led to his discovery of a previously unnoticed, almost inaccessible door leading from the attic to the roof. Although the book ventures as far back as the Stone Age, the main focus of Bryson’s study is the 19th century, a time during which, he maintains, “the modern world was really born.” (Bryson is an American anglophile who has become - in the way of Henry James and Edward Gorey - almost more English than the English). Similarly chastened, perhaps, by the experience of writing 2004’s ambitious and immensely popular A Short History of Nearly Everything, Bill Bryson trades quarks and protons for fish knives and salt cellars in his new book, attempting to do for the domestic realm what he once tried to do for the universe - explain it.īryson’s point of departure in At Home: A Short History of Private Life is the 150-year-old rectory where he lives with his family in the English countryside. Dorothy contritely replies: “If I ever go looking for my heart’s desire again, I won’t look any further than my own backyard.” At the end of the movie version of The Wizard of Oz, Glinda asks Dorothy what her fantastic journey has taught her. During the series, he’s not said to have interacted with anyone else we know (like Dumbledore) and from how we hear about him, it’s not even clear he’s alive or lived during recent enough times where it would have been possible for him to have done this. In the 7 books he’s mentioned as the author of Fantastic Beasts.ĭuring the series itself, Newt is only ever mentioned once, as the author of Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them, one of the required textbooks. Why was Newt Scamander's name on the Marauder's map when Fred and George gave it to Harry? He is also included as an easter egg on the Harry Potter and the prisoner of Azkaban movie.
