In Ruskin's Footsteps
2008-02-06 12:27:00
Earlier last month, Lady Glyde visited the former home and museum of John Ruskin. Brantwood was the home of John Ruskin from 1872. Born in London on 8 February 1819. He is best known as an art critic, philosopher and poet. Ruskin displayed a deep understanding of life. This week, Kathleen Glyde is honoring the memory of this magnanimous personality. Be inspired - Inspirational and thought provoking quotes by John Ruskin below! "Sunshine is delicious, rain is refreshing, wind braces us up, snow is exhilarating; there is really no such thing as bad weather, only different kinds of good weather.""Do not think of your faults, still less of other's faults; look for what is good and strong, and try to imitate it. Your faults will drop off, like dead leaves, when their time comes."The Ebony Courtesan : Kathleen Glydefeeds.feedburner.com/blogspot/kddv

Beneath The Jacaranda Tree
2008-02-02 08:50:00
The poem below reflects the frailty of life beneath the tropical Jacaranda tree.Kathleen Glyde is dedicating the poem, "Soliloquy" to her mother. The Jacaranda tree was her favourite amongst the trees of the Caribbean. May she rest in peace! SoliloquyThe path was purpled with the petals from the Jacaranda treesAnd I strolled along in shadows cast by interlocking leaves.The breeze was lightly scented, softened by the sweetened airs;Frangi-pani, Calla lilies, symbols of a heart's despairs,Intermingling scents and colors, stirring senses long asleepAnd memories of an Eden, memories that I ought to keep.Sad and joyful recollections, by this beauty brought to mind,Reawakened, reassuring that the heavens are not blind,Helping me in understanding birth, and childhood, marriage, death,Filling me with love and longing, glad of life and thought and breath.Thus on a pathway flecked with glory and with fragrant scent imbued,I bowed my head but raised my heart in pleasant solitude.J.

The Lure Of The Courtesan
2007-11-20 12:36:00
Beautiful arbiters of intelligence and sex, these women are historically important but perhaps a dying breed...Courtesans have moved nations for centuries, using a potent combination of sex and politics to influence powerful men and advance their own places in society. Renaissance Venetian Victoria Franco charmed her powerful men with poetry and sex. Fast-forward 400 years or so, and courtesan spirit is embodied in women like Pamela Harriman and Clare Boothe Luce, who propelled themselves to power through their associations and marriages with powerful men. The throne is still open for a true courtesan of the 21st century. Like a hybrid of Dorothy Parker and Jennifer Lopez, a courtesan in Renaissance Italy used her brains and her body to enjoy the benefits of marriage -- companionship, property and financial stability -- without the stifling social constraints. She also replaced a man's wife on the social scene, since proper married women were sequestered from the sins of the world ...

Remembered Music
2007-11-17 14:19:00
'Tis said, the pipe and lute that charm our earsDerive their melody from rolling spheres;But Faith, o'erpassing speculation's bound,Can see what sweetens every jangled sound.We, who are parts of Adam, heard with himThe song of angels and of seraphim.Out memory, though dull and sad, retainsSome echo still of those unearthly strains.Oh, music is the meat of all who love,Music uplifts the soul to realms above.The ashes glow, the latent fires increase:We listen and are fed with joy and peace.Mawlawi RumiThe Black Courtesan : Kathleen Glyde Kathleen Glyde wishes you all a happy and joyous weekend!feeds.feedburner.com/blogspot/kdd v

Bouillabaisse From The Cote d'Azur

"A good cook is the peculiar gift of the gods. He must be a perfect creature from the brain to the palate, from the palate to the finger's end"As Autumn ends and the weather becomes colder - what better way to enjoy the season than with a hearty dish of French Bouillabaisse?Stew dishes are very popular in the Caribbean and the French Riviera,Cote d'Azur. As a teenager, Kathleen Glyde always looked forward to dinner with the family - and what a festival that was too!At home cooking was more a celebration rather than a chore. What joy cooking brings - to nourish, educate and cultivate.Preparing Caribbean fish stew requires alot of time and planning - a bit like the Bouillabaisse from the Cote d'Azur. During the Dark Lady's years at cookery school, fish stew was one of the first dishes she tried her hands at.The result was not very pleasing to the palate, and Lady Glyde was very disappointed to say the least. However, after many years of cooking, preparing, sharing, she can now ...

The Ebony Courtesan's website has been updated with new pictures. The Dark Lady pictured here is no other than Kathleen Glyde:-)Shakespeare's Dark LadyIn the old age black was not counted fair,Or if it were, it bore not beauty's name;But now is black beauty's successive heir,And beauty slandered with a bastard shame:For since each hand hath put on Nature's power,Fairing the foul with Art's false borrowed face,Sweet beauty hath no name, no holy bower,But is profaned, if not lives in disgrace.Therefore my mistress' eyes are raven black,Her eyes so suited, and they mourners seemAt such who, not born fair, no beauty lack,Sland'ring creation with a false esteem:Yet so they mourn becoming of their woe,That every tongue says beauty should look so.The Black Courtesan : Kathleen Glydefeeds.feedburner.com/blogspot/kddv

On The Tidal Mud, Just Before Sunset
2007-10-29 16:15:00
The thing about poetry is that if you're moved by a poem you might not wish to say anything at all. You might wish to live with that poem in silence for awhile. If you're not fully able to understand it, maybe if you just read it to yourself again and again, get it by heart, you will come around to understand it in a way we don't have terms for expressing - Galaway KinnellDaybreakOn the tidal mud, just before sunset,dozens of starfisheswere creeping. It wasas though the mud were a skyand enormous, imperfect starsmoved across it as slowlyas the actual stars cross heaven.All at once they stopped,and, as if they had simplyincreased their receptivityto gravity, they sank downinto the mud, faded downinto it and lay still, and by the timepink of sunset broke across themthey were as invisibleas the true stars at daybreak.

The International Escort is beautiful, sensuous and intelligent.

To put it another way, the international escort celebrates all the finest things that life has to offer in her own special way.The International Escort has a convivial and prepossessing charm that captivates all whom she allows to know her. It is, perhaps, her well-bred background that gives her a cool and dispassionate attitude to everything in life beyond sex and friends:-)In these areas, the international courtesan is both extremely passionate, demanding and capable of sudden and quixotic change – going from purring kitten to voracious tiger in an instant.

Happiness, Wisdom & Growth
2007-08-06 18:35:00
“Let no one be slow to seek wisdom when he is young nor weary in the search of it when he has grown old. For no age is too early or too late for the health of the soul. And to say that the season for studying philosophy has not yet come, or that it is past and gone, is like saying that the season for happiness is not yet or that it is now no more. Therefore, both old and young alike ought to seek wisdom, the former in order that, as age comes over him, he may be young in good things because of the grace of what has been, and the latter in order that, while he is young, he may at the same time be old, because he has no fear of the things which are to come. So we must exercise ourselves in the things which bring happiness, since, if that be present, we have everything, and, if that be absent, all our actions are directed towards attaining it.” —Epicurus, Letter to MenoeceusHave a happy, sunny week everyone!Kathleen Glyde : Black Courtesanfeeds.feedburner.com/blogspot/kd dv

Kabinett beschließt Teilprivatisierung der Bahn
2007-07-24 13:47:00
Berlin (dpa) - Die bundeseigene Bahn soll nach dem Willen der Bundesregierung teilweise in private Hände übergehen. Das Bundeskabinett beschloss am Dienstag den von Verkehrsminister Wolfgang Tiefensee (SPD) vorgelegten Gesetzentwurf zur Teilprivatisierung des Bahnkonzerns. Die Entscheidung sei einstimmig gewesen, hieß es in Regierungskreisen.Nur die Infrastruktur wie das Schienennetz der Bahn, Bahnhöfe und Energieleistungen bleiben zunächst 15 Jahre im Eigentum des Bundes. Die Bahn darf es in dieser Zeit jedoch wirtschaftlich nutzen und soll durch Anteilsverkäufe an Privatinvestoren international stärker werden.Tiefensee hatte angekündigt, er strebe Ende 2008 in einem ersten Schritt den Verkauf von etwa 25 Prozent Bundesanteilen an private Investoren an. Der Gesetzentwurf enthält dies bisher nicht. Der Zeitpunkt dürfte auch wesentlich von einer Einigung mit den Ländern abhängen. Bundestag und Bundesrat müssen dem Entwurf zustimmen.

The dusty attic, spider-clad, He, through the keyhole, maketh glad; And through the broken edge of tiles Into the laddered hay-loft smiles. Meantime his golden face around He bares to all the garden ground, And sheds a warm and glittering look Among the ivy's inmost nook.
