Arts & Humanities - 30 October 2006

I read this over 30 years ago & it was an old book then. It tells of a channel that opens in either the Arctic or the Antarctic that leads to a forgotten land heated by volcanic activity. It's of story of some people who accidentally find the channel & sail up it. I'd love to read it again but really need the name of the author .... anyone able to help at all?

I'd especially like to hear of lesser known ones from around the same age as Shakespeare more or less. Possibly some foreign ones and such. Basically, the kind of stuff found in the 800's section of the library.

I am writing an essay on a chapter of John Locke's "An Essay Concerning Human Understanding". The chapter I am doing is, Of The Reality of Human Knowledge in Book IV.

My thesis is that Locke's definition of knowledge is extremely limited.

My teacher told us "You guys are not reputable philosophers, so you need to find philosophers that back up your point of view"

Any suggestions?

There will be more.

Golden cups shine
Once filled with wine
In this dragon's lair.

Traps surround his hoard.
Indeed, he looks quite bored,
For no one has got'n past them yet.

His eyes open wide.
An arrow's bounced off his hide
But it's splintered in two.

A gleaming, silver sword now flies
Through the air and toward his eyes,
Swiftly gouging one out.

A valiant knight,
With clearly no fright,
Has got'n past the traps that were laid!

The knight's new sword
Is one from the hoard.
Ah, it's royal indeed!

Runes on its hilt and golden blade
By royal men of old were made
To vanquish those who felt its bite.

It talks all about what the girl's faith means to her, but I don't remember the name of the author. I read it online. If you can find it, I'd be really grateful.

The houses are haunted
By white night-gowns.
None are green,
Or purple with green rings,
Or green with yellow rings,
Or yellow with blue rings.
None of them are strange,
With socks of lace
And beaded ceintures.
People are not going
To dream of baboons and periwinkles.
Only, here and there, an old sailor,
Drunk and asleep in his boots,
Catches Tigers
In red weather.

The once Alcoholics Anonymous cult leader that smoked himself to death is still alive! I seen him at a meeting last night, and there he was, as big as life!

Bill was chanting his usual AA slogans and signing copies of the big book when I asked him the question, "why did you create such lies that are responsible for the deaths of millions?" He was about to answer my question when I lost my temper, and nailed him in the chops with a right hook! He staggered to the door chanting more of his cult slogans, and left in a cloud of cigarette smoke. I need to practice that right hook!
