This is a screengrab from a version of Shakespeare's Sonnets that has reset the sonnet form into prose. The font is Georgia and the text is forced into dark mode. This was done so that non-perverts may enjoy these works. The sonnet in this exemplar is Number 55 and runs:

"Not marble nor the gilded monuments of princes shall outlive this pow'rful rhyme, but you shall shine more bright in these contents than unswept stone, besmeared with sluttish time. When wasteful war shall statues overturn, and broils root out the work of masonry, nor Mars his sword nor war's quick fire shall burn the living record of your memory. 'Gainst death and all oblivious enmity shall you pace forth; your praise shall still find room, ev'n in the eyes of all posterity that wear this world out to the ending doom. So, till the judgement that yourself arise, you live in this, and dwell in lovers' eyes."

you could read the post's reporting and think Platner had the SS's official symbol, two runes (1L). in fact he got a totenkopf (1R, 2), which the SS adapted for their own uniforms to place themselves in a longer continuity of Prussian military tradition (3).

the whole review is worth reading; quote appears on lower right of the first page. for what it's worth, Dickens appears mainly to be outraged by what he sees as Millais' ambivalence towards progress.

Harvey-Brotherhood is the result, from
which a great deal may be expected—by
the undertakers.

In literature, a very spirited effort has
been made, which is no less than the formation
of a P. G. A. P. C. B., or Pre-Gower and
Pre-Chaucer-Brotherhood, for the restoration
of the ancient English style of spelling, and
the weeding out from all libraries, public and
private, of those and all later pretenders,
particularly a person of loose character named
SHAKESPEARE. It having been suggested,
however, that this happy idea could scarcely
be considered complete while the art of printing
was permitted to remain unmolested,
another society, under the name of the Pre-
Laurentius Brotherhood, has been established
in connexion with it, for the abolition of all
but manuscript books. These MR. PUGIN has
engaged to supply, in characters that nobody
on earth shall be able to read. And it is
confidently expected by those who have seen the
House of Lords, that he will faithfully redeem
his pledge.

In Music, a retrogressive step, in which
there is much hope, has been taken. The
P. A. B., or Pre-Agincourt Brotherhood has
arisen, nobly devoted to consign to oblivion
Mozart, Beethoven, Handel, and every other
such ridiculous reputation, and to fix its
Millennium (as its name implies) before the
date of the first regular musical composition
known to have been achieved in England. As
this Institution has not yet commenced active
operations, it remains to be seen whether the
Royal Academy of Music will be a worthy
sister of the Royal Academy of Art, and
admit this enterprising body to its orchestra.
We have it on the best authority, that its
compositions will be quite as rough and
discordant as the real old original—that it
will be, in a word, exactly suited to the
pictorial Art we have endeavoured to describe.
We have strong hopes, therefore, that the
Royal Academy of Music, not wanting an
example, may not want courage.

When you hear about these people it's difficult not to think that they read Hannes Alfvén's torment nexus book as a roadmap.

the weakness of all the weak bits you saw today comparing it to air travel serves the same function as the ghoulishness of the challenger jokes: insulting the meat. bad jokes aren't often seen as civic virtue but it's impossible to have a democracy without the irresistible leveling urge they reveal.

In Bk 20, Ch 23 Pliny writes at length about garlic, but always as a remedy. For example, he mentions garlic pounded with vinegar as a throat gargle and even mixed with goose grease, but as a poultice for earache. My hunch is that these references got confused with Columella's ref to sauces.
