Fort en bras, gentlemen, strong in arms-fort en brah, not fort in
BRASS!!!  (Besides-neither of them sounds the least bit, proleptically
or otherwise, like "Wynton Marsalis"!!

Unfortunately, I so don't understand what you mean by 'soul'.

Lucia, how does your distinction between heaven and hell reflect on the
exchange between Hamlet and Polonius:

P: Will you go out into the air?
H: Into my grave?
P: (Aside)Into air the grave is into the grave..."

>From the last remark, I am inclined to think P is the one who is

If we allow 'heaven' is 'air' and 'hell' is 'grave' must we not identity
'body' and 'soul'?

Yours in the light,
Dana

Robin thanks for finding your way through my numerous spelling errors.
Time being so precious I seldom edit.

Are you suggesting that Milton influenced Shakespeare?

I was trying to note that the Minerva influence was conspicuous by
absence in S.

I will try to follow your clues about Bruno, Pico, and Ficino.

As for your reference to Sydney, I believe that a Polar pair may be made
of Sydney's Arcadia and Seymour's Shepard's calendar, which refers to
the Shepard's of Arcardia archetype.

I don't want to bore any one rehashing the work of Henry Lincoln from
Holy Blood Holy Grail; however, I use the Flammel work in my alchemical
research which helps one derive the Florence influences by a French path
to the Paris heresy trials following the condemnation of 1277.

As a question of influence, even in the case of Bruno, Ficino, and Pico,
there is nothing new under the sun.

Yours in the truth,
Dana

My reading of the scene in question is that she returns some token which
"accompanied" his words.  This does not rule a necklace brooch or ring
which she might have worn at all times.

Yours in the way,
Dana
