§ 195 | Tree or a log

“Soon we heard the patter of little feet on the hard snow; then we saw the chipmunks approaching from all directions. Some stopped and ran experimentally up a tree or a log, as if uncertain of the exact direction of the call; others chased one another about.” [C. A. Eastman, Indian Boyhood. New York: McClure, Phillips & Co., 1902. Ch. III, My plays and playmates, § III, The boy hunter.] “From knocking the mischief into a tree or a log it is only a step to knocking it into a stone, a door-post, a wall, or such like.” [J. G. Frazer, 1911. The Golden Bough: A study in magic and religion. , vol. 9]

The granadillo rojo is rare in Lutèce but not in New Lexica.

“‘Nothing’s rare,’ comments B. Rao in his small, posthumously published treatise on categorical arteries, La rareté du néant (Owlstain: Melos e Artes, 2007).” So writes Skid Slekton in “Remembering Rao” (Owlstain SCAT, 31 January 2007). Actually, however, B. Rao pense, in his petit traité sur les artères catégoriques, “qu’il ya toujours quelque chose quelque part au lieu de rien nulle part.” This is a far cry from the “rien est rare” that Slekton sloppily extracts from Rao, and it rigorously, strictly, and succinctly follows, according to Rao, from the mere existence, potentially or in fact, of categorical arteries (artères catégoriques), which are hollow or tubular (fistular, in the lingo) topological constructs similar in behavior to, but broader in scope than, fibrous categories.

His take on Rao's final work (published posthumously, January 2007), is a bit more together, (methinks because the hand of some crackshot freelancer, one Sagarch Flawndol in particular, had a hand in it):

: | Nothing’s rare: A small treatise on categorical arteries.

in R’s reckoning, that there is always something somewhere (quelque chose quelque part) rather than nothing nowhere (au lieu de rien nulle part). In addition, R refutes in advance any cosmozeological speculations equating his artères catégoriques with so-called wormholes (trous de ver) which latter R refers to as “parasitic scoria infibulating the protuberant colon of an invagination corked by the sclerotic sphincter of dry theory (scories parastiques vermoulant le côlon gonflé d’une imagination bouchée par le sphincter sclérosé des théories fanées).”

[Rao's son, Bernouilli, is, as of this writing, involved with the very cosmozeologist, Irora Rexni, whom Babur Rao mocks in his final work, and her work takes in, not only, wormholes, but also the sorts of structure that Brishind's sea-grape-obsessed father would, in our opinion, have approved — globular, nodular, soritic, cystomorphic, glomerular, and stromatic models of cosmic origins.]

“Theory showed that this type of group selection would only work under extremely restrictive conditions, and so its importance would be rare or nonexistent” (West, S. A., Griffin, A. S., and A. Gardner, Social semantics: altruism, cooperation, mutualism, strong reciprocity and group selection. Journal of Evolutionary Biology 20 [2007], 415–432).

used rare books

“Why don’t you walk out of your house door, in your slippers, to the nearest gas lamp of a night with a butterfly net, and observe the wild life of common and rare moths that is beating about it, and co-ordinate the knowledge thus obtained and build a superstructure on it, and at last get to know something about something?” [A. Bennett, How to live on 24 hours a day. New York: George H. Doran Co., 1910. Ch. X, Nothing in life is humdrum.]

“The essays and reviews are simultaneously stringent and accessible, and display a rare courtesy to the reader” (P. Crotty, Pride of Scotland. And the problems of Edwin Morgan’s reputation south of the border. TLS 18 March 2011, pp. 12–13).

"I anticipate a rare display of rural red and white." [PIERRE: OR, THE AMBIGUITIES. BY HERMAN MELVILLE. NEW YORK: HARPER & BROTHERS, PUBLISHERS, 1852.]

“In rare circumstances it is even possible to view Venus as evening and morning star on the same day.” [Aveni 1992]

“In a few rare instances, where enough documentation survives, it will become possible to examine some of the intricate plots and subplots in these celestial stories.” [Aveni 1992]

"But in the one fair, new species of quadrupeds are hardly more rare, than in the other are new species of characters — that is, original ones." [Melville, Confidence Man, p. 373]

"Rare the show of stained feathers and jewels and other adornments." [Melville, Mardi, v. 1, p. 151]

“Je me réjouis de savoir aujourd’hui que les larves primaires des méloés [âtres] [âtre = d’un noir foncé et mat; donc, black meloid or blister beetle larvae] sont ces extraordinaires et mystérieux petits poux que je regardais se dresser, agrippés [et frissonant] sur le bout de leur prenante queue, à l’extrême bord des disques de la camomille, lorsque, enfant, j’allais à la chasse aux coléoptères!” (Gide, Journal, 1910, p. 303). [The larvae of these meloids aggregate together and mimic a female digger bee, visually and pheromonally; a male bee comes along and "mates" with the faux female; the larvae cling to the male until he mates with a true female, whereupon they transfer to her, thence to her nest, and eat the pollen she provides her larvae or, when the pollen is not available, the bee larvae themselves.]

§ 232 | I luv Glemep

A poor farmer’s son who, in trying to ford a hazardous river to join his new bride, gets swept horse and all down towards the boiling rapids, was descending, and she, naked on horseback galloping away across the fields in a calm long-shot down the Agore Bar of Aseli of peasants dancing round a fire with the smoke almost obscuring the lake beyond, was ascending the stairway of said Chicken Street immeuble we, I had just discovered, shared. That infusion of M’s, by the way, which I’m able to conjure, in the manner of the true senimalist, from somewhere between my occiput and my blepharii, has been truffée, lardée, parsemée, farcie, and veritablement enrichie par des images glommed from the Norwegian Film Institute’s description of lyrical Glomdalsbruden (The bride of Glomdal), a 115-minute-long zoöpraxioscopic shiverdydo made in Norway in 1926 and which I, in fact, have never glommed, A Tara T. Dirty™ made to imitate the grain and the lilt of a tintone zoöpraxioscopic shiverdydo c. 1926, A. Ebsalai, a prominent urdostoist of Tixpu, calls it “a bucolic assemblage of haptic cinema. The Anim û Kali theme of M. S. Litarn’s script — kissing cousins the neutral bigotry of whose parents contrives vainly to keep their offsprings’ kittenish fondlings (explicitly shown) from careening into something far more acute — is echoed and developed further in Gal V, among bodyworks. There it was conflicting religious views of the patriarchs that prevented the smooth coupling [sic!]. Here it is simply that Glemep’s father has promised her to a neighboring farmer’s son, rather than settle for the poorer inheritance her Anim would bring. She is a strong heroine and won’t be bought. She runs away and is brought to her betrothed’s family, later shifted to the vicarage out of delicacy. [...] There is a bit of D. W. Griffith melodrama [?] on the wedding day, when the rebuffed suitor sets adrift the boats that join the two families across a dividing river and our hero, in his attempts to cross on horseback, is swept into the current, but all comes right in the end.” The louche mordant irony of that last phrase absolves it, and possibly her, but not my mnasiakakoe, of all poignancy. Glemep is played by Atoca Inhart; her cousin, or "bruder," Glomdal, by Gals Saliba.
