Tuesday, 10/13/15: Thesis, Thesis, On the Blog, Which Is Fairest of Them All?

* Open
  • Collusion (noun): secret or illegal cooperation or conspiracy, especially in order to cheat or deceive others.
    • Latin: colludere: col/com- "together" + ludere "to play," from ludus "game"
  • Example to copy: If you want to know about NATO acts of insidious, nefarious collusion, you need to talk to Mr. Eckert.
  • Example to read: 
    In "Frost at Midnight” composed from the front room of the Lime Street cottage in the winter of 1798, Coleridge's isolation drives him to test the resources of nature conceived as a mediating agent. The poem dramatizes the poet's sense of vulnerability in the face of a threatening outside world. Part of this feeling must have come from the growing hostility of the community in which he was living. Fear of a French invasion was widespread, and the outsiders were suspected of democratic sympathies, even of collusion with the national enemy. Walking home from Bristol, Coleridge heard himself described as a “vile Jacobin villain.”
