Not having read the poem - as yet - I'm wondering how he puts the two together. It was always Daphnis and Chloe, or Damon and Pythias. Chloe means "shoot",...

Hi Kate This is the poem. I find it very obscure. Damon was faithful unto death - he overcame great obstacles in order that Pythias did not have to die in his...
Hi Kerry - do you know what is meant by the term 'excessive refuelling?' I'm assuming it has something to do with diel pumps and the air to fuel rations or...
Chloe (as Kate has said) loved Daphnis and was loved by him. Damon loved Delia and his love was returned. Only Janet Little (an obscure 18th century Scottish...

Hmm. I can understand the allusion to apples, fruiterers, pippins, in relation to Chloe. Follow my train of thought. Chloe is another name for Demeter. Demeter...
Hello all, I don't think I will be able to add anything terribly erudite to this discussion, but I thought I would put my two bits in. I don't think I have...
Deb I agree with you in total. Chloe decides that all of his negative remarks about her are code for positive ones (that only she can understand). This is a...
I didn't have any problem with the surface meaning of the poem - it's quite in the line of typical comical poems in "Punch" at the time, the henpecked hubby...
All I can say is "who knew a person could be a ninny in the 1800's", and of course thanks to to C. in Baltimore, how fun to see a reference to my store on this...
We had an 'Alice' party close to Daresbury where Lewis Carroll was born. We chose the 8th of July as it was on the 11th July 1832, 175 years ago, that LC was...

Yes. The rules state: "A player may not make any move which places or leaves his king in check." This is a crucial principe, for if this principle cannot be...
There are two major violations of the rules of chess involved in the illustrated game. 1) leaving a King in check and making an alternative move instead. 2)...
