anamchara on November 8, 2005Ooo.. another interesting one...
1387, "man-like or heroic woman," from L., from vir "man" (see virile). Ælfric (c.1000), following Vulgate, used it in Gen. ii.23 (KJV = woman) -
anamchara on November 8, 2005Your name has often given me pause...
Etymology: Virago
www.abdn.ac.uk/bestiary/translat/92v.hti
like a slender green branch, virga and a calf, vitula. Otherwise the word may come from her uncorrupted state, as virago, because she does not know womanly passion.
A virago is so called because she acts like a man, vir agere, that is, she does manly things and has the strength of a man. For this is the name the ancients gave to strong women. But it is not correct to call a virgin a virago if she does not perform the office of a man; nevertheless, a woman who does masculine things, like an Amazon, is rightly called a virago.
What we now call a woman, femina, was, in former times, called vira; as serva, maid-servant, from servus, famula, handmaid from famulus, so vira from vir. Some think that the word virgo has the same derivation. We get the word femina, however, from those parts of the thighs by which this sex is distinguished from the man.
Others think that femina derives by Greek etymology, from the phrase 'fiery force', because a woman lusts fiercely; for females are more lustful than males, among women as as among animals. For this reason excessive love was called 'womanly love' among the ancients.
To be 'elder', senior, is to be still more vigorous. Ovid writes in his sixth book: 'The elder, between youth and old age' (Metamorphoses, 12, 464]. Terence: 'By this law we are younger' (Hecyra II, Prologue, 3). Undoubtedly adolescentior here does not mean 'more adolescent' but 'less', as an elder is less of an old man, where the comparative form signifies less that the positive. Senior, therefore, is not as old as senex, just as a 'younger' man stands between youth and seniority and a 'poorer' man stands between rich and poor.
Some think that the aged, senes, are so called from the reduction of their senses and the fact that they act foolishly because of their old age. For physicians say that foolish men are of cold blood, the wise of hot. For this reason, the aged, whose blood has now grown cold, and children, whose blood has not yet warmed up, are less wise. As a result, infancy and old age are alike. The old lose their wits from their excessive age, and the very young, through frivolity and immaturity, do not know what they are doing.
The word senex, old man, however, is used of the masculine gender, as anus, old woman, is of the feminine. For anus is used only of a woman. It comes from the word for 'many years old',

nothingbuthope on June 1, 2005I too have some difficulties separating the two (spiritual and purely materialistic). Most recent physics findings are, as you said, providing substantiated evidence that our perceptive understanding of the universe is merely a construct of the senses which guide those perceptions. Therefore, the adage that there is more than that which appears to the eyes is particularily honest. However, I think, keeping with perspective that matter and time do exist in some way, we must not discredit or invalidate their importance, even from a spiritual perspective. That being said, I do not wish to exclude nor extapolate spirituality from the debate/inner questioning, but rather find some emergence of the two in which they exist as, in the very least, multilateral concepts. I suppose, simply stated, my understanding of belief or spiritual existence diverges from the common definition into a more physics-oriented and philosophical framework, one which can be determined and understood quite well. I am most definitely far-removed from a regular theological basis, one in which God is the absolute being and all existence, in whatever form, is based primarily on that entity's desire or want; also, being the infinite being, our finite capacity restrains our attempts at understanding -- this is a conclusion I feel is pessimistic and beguiling.
As was stated in the comments to the piece, I think this debate is vital and completely necessary. My concern that many will automatically traverse such discussion or reflection through a theological perspecitive is more a fear of mine than some wishy-washy directive. I have seen this automation take place many times, and it always seems to block progress in the matter. -
nothingbuthope on June 1, 2005I am glad the comment/advice turned out to be helpful. Kudos to you for being open-minded and accepting of criticism, as well. Too often people are offended by such things.

Virago on April 5, 2005Depends on what you like. She's very folky but her lyrics are quite good. I'd say she's a mix between Sarah Harmer, Barenaked Ladies and Blue Rodeo. (strange yeah..but there ya go ) I met her last year when she came to do the Vagina Monologues here at McGill.

Virago on March 28, 2005Aw Thank-you James! I quite like your definition of my new alter ego. It's a softer view of the vixen I’ve been known to be. I'll tame her sooner or later, but, for now, I’m enjoying this 'bitch' mentality (also commonly referred to as newlyfoundselfrespect).
Cheers!

cutiepie on November 30, 2004Hello I often read more into a poem than maybe the writer wanted us to read... My apologies I did enjoy the "Wool gathering" element as I am often accused to doing this myself) Using the blanket of contentment to cover one'self in is always a comforting thing to do Sorry....now I am rambling Take care of yourself and smile

I don't approve of Kevin's new " Everyone see's our favorites list " feature.
allpoetry.com/poem/906548
You may go here to read more....Don't worry , You're still going
to be featured on my authors page , but I feel that some of my hard
earned rights as a poet and reader are being taken away.
Change is good , But not at the cost of people's opinions...
Sorry , But this is how I feel , I will have to use the hard way
and check back from time to time on all my favorites from my
page.
much respect and love to you ,

Amphion on November 21, 2004The rainstorm is neither as bad as the carpenter fears nor as good as the farmer dreams. The world will survive for four more years. You can protest it all you want, but the sad fact is that in a completely fair election (or at least, as fair as American elections come), he won.

jaunty pill on November 11, 2004You got it! I will not put up with it either! I stand loud and clear with you and say: " FUCK NO "!!! " EAT MY ASS "!!!...Not four more years of this lying bullshit , I'd rather move to venice and sell my bones to rich cosmopolites. Why is it that the warmongers and assholes always win? I'll tell you why , The nation is seduced by lies and tyranny. I hate it. I hate the backstabber we have as a facist dictator. In the words of the great birchwoood: " I'm just waiting for them to start rounding up liberals and athiests ". Exactly. And then after that it will be the writers and people with the freedom of speech.
Ughh...He makes me sick.
