    Omar Khayyam was amazing. See quote about him in E.L. Konigsburg's Caroline/Father's Arcane Daughter about the Rubiyiat - it is about "how to be happy." Makes sense. Omar Khayyam, born 1048, has been described as "cynical and skeptic, while also emphasizing the importance of living life to the fullest." I think he is our type of person for our type of season 🙂

    The Qur'an ? Well come & put me to the test. A lovely old book (in hideous error dressed) Believe me I can quote the Qur'an too Because the "UNBELIEVER" needs to know his Qur'an best. The moving finger writes & having writ, Moves on & all your piety nor wit, Can bring it back to cancel half a line, Nor all your tears wash out a word of it. Look not above, there is no answer there, No BigBeardy in the sky listening to your prayer. Here is as near to G_d as any far, & here is just the same deceit as there. & do you think that unto such as you - a maggot-minded starved fanatic crew - G_d gave the secret & denied it me??? Well well well what matters it? Believe that too.

    (3:47 4:06) From the context I gather that "lighter" (sp?) is analogous to "luminary", " VIP", or perhaps "leading light". However, the word is not commonly used in this way in America, so I initially heard it as "blighter"!

    This man is a brilliant Actor but his European superciliousness ruined this scene, Othello's use of language and tone for this purpose should carry an air of surrender to humor his white faced accusers and placate their superiority complexes. Othello speaks with humility, and yet with with eloquence and grace, as he speaks lowly of himself and his accomplishments while speaking highly of said accusers. This actor's posturing and tone as seen here are confrontational and proud. As a black man Othello would know he has to toe the line in such a space. A white man who has known no such fear or oppression as a black man in a white world would, couldnt possibly execute this scene properly. This clip is from a different era so I won't even comment on the offensive blackfacing that was opted for in lieu of a talented Black Thespian. In essence this scene was to bring to life the Jamaican axiom "when yuh hand inna tiga mouth tek time tek e out!".

    At that time, there were almost no 'talented black thespians' around to cast. And judging by recent experience, an awful lot of black actors are now being given roles above their playing ability. Saw one in the UK National Theatre recently actually fluff his lines like a rank amateur. It actually degrades the achievement of those actors of colour who are absolutely brilliant.
