"The decadent legacy of Berlin between the World Wars,
and that of the American speak-easy era, have left their marks
on fashion, of course. At the Golden Globes on Sunday night,
Nicole Kidman incarnated the steamy eroticism of the Weimar
years in a clingy 20's-style gold-spangled dress by Tom Ford for
YSL Rive Gauche. Ms. Kidman's illusion top, with its suggestion
of nudity, set tongues wagging well into the next day."

Cicero, In Verrem  II. 1. 46 —

He reached Delos. There one night he secretly   46 
carried off, from the much-revered sanctuary of 
Apollo, several ancient and beautiful statues, and 
had them put on board his own transport. Next 
day, when the inhabitants of Delos saw their sanc- 
tuary stripped of its treasures, they were much 
distressed . . . .

Delum venit. Ibi ex fano Apollinis religiosissimo 
noctu clam sustulit signa pulcherrima atque anti- 
quissima, eaque in onerariam navem suam conicienda 
curavit. Postridie cum fanum spoliatum viderent ii

Locating Hell

"Noi siam venuti al loco ov' i' t'ho detto
            che tu vedrai le genti dolorose
    c'hanno perduto il ben de l'intelletto."

— Dante, Inferno, Canto 3, 16-18

"We have come to where
              I warned you we would find
Those wretched souls
              who no longer have 
The intellectual benefits of the mind."

— Dante, Hell, Canto 3, 16-18

From a Harvard student's weblog:

An author in a New York Times  article today —

“I like stories which feel like the back of another story,
like beyond this story, there’s a different story, and
we’re just seeing glimpses of that story,” she said.

Other quotes (click to enlarge) . . .

Below — The New York Times  quotes its 1947 article on the opening
of a new college FM radio station. Vide  the full article, in which the apt
Scylla-Charybdis metaphor was based on remarks by a Fordham Jesuit.

"Mephistopheles is not your name
I know what you're up to just the same
I will listen hard to your tuition
You will see it come to its fruition"

— Sting

The Fordham Jesuit of 1947 seems greatly superior to the Jesuits of today.

See Fordham in this  journal.
