Extractions: V irgil (Publius Vergilius Maro, 70-19 B.C.) remains one of the most influential Roman authors throughout history and his texts have exhibited profound effects upon writers throughout the years. He was recognized even by his own contemporaries as an exemplary poet and a model for others. He employed a vast knowledge of ancient legends and associations throughout his texts resulting in his reputation as a "learned" poet. Unlike other poets of his time, Virgil's freshness and wit never diminishes over his career and he retains a delicate subtlety of expressions throughout his works. H is qualities of tenderness, humanity and deep religious sentiment caused him to be regarded as the herald of Christianity throughout the middle ages. This ensured a wide transmission of his works and caused Dante to choose him as the guide in his master work The Divine Comedy . Later, in the modern era, his works became required reading in scholastic curricula and his texts became vehicles for education in Latin grammar. D uring the last ten years of his life, Virgil worked on

Extractions: -Gus Grissom (John Barbour et al Footprints on the Moon (The Associated Press, 1969), p. 125.) Lieutenant Colonel Virgil Ivan "Gus" Grissom had been part of the U.S. manned space program since it began in 1959, having been selected as one of NASA's Original Seven Mercury Astronauts. His second space flight on Gemini III earned him the distinction of being the first man to fly in space twice. His hard work, drive, persistence and skills as a top notch test pilot and engineer had landed him the title of commander for the first Apollo flight. Yet for Grissom, Apollo I was to be just the beginning. He had been told privately that if all went well, he would be the first American to walk on the moon. Although Grissom already had stacked up a very impressive list of career accomplishments, being first on the moon would be the ultimate achievement for the man who grew up in a small town during the lean years of the Great Depression. Virgil Ivan Grissom was born on April 3, 1926 in Mitchell, Indiana, a tiny Midwestern community of about three thousand residents tucked away in the southern half of the state. Virgil was the eldest of Dennis and Cecile Grissom's four children, which included two brothers, Norman and Lowell and one sister, Wilma. Dennis Grissom managed to hold on to his job at the Baltimore and Ohio Railroad in spite of the numerous layoffs which were going on all around him. Although they were far from being wealthy, Mr. Grissom's twenty-four dollar per week salary allowed his family to live comfortably in their white frame house in town.

Extractions: Virgil Thomson Virgil Thomson, born in Kansas City and long resident in Paris and New York, is one of the few true modernists in America, since most of our moderns turn out Romantics in Disguise. Over and over, he demonstrates that nobody knows more about modern Europe, in pieces that taught Europe a lot about the U. S. and the U. S. a lot about Europe. He's an adept in two arts, for he also happens to be a major American prose writer, specializing in music criticism. For sheer pleasure, check out the Virgil Thomson Reader Thomson's music is almost disconcertingly spare and direct. In the consciously American pieces especially, there is a kind of aural equivalent to Cubist collage, as ragtime, waltzes, tangos, two-steps, fiddle tunes, and hymns get pasted into the texture. Unlike Charles Ives , there's an unsentimental distance and clarity to it all, like someone without illusions able to state exactly what's on his mind. Thomson gets this effect in his prose, too. Although overshadowed by Aaron Copland (who, by the way, always acknowledged his debts to Thomson), Thomson achieved far more in the realm of opera and vocal music, in which almost everyone acknowledges him a master. Try the powerful (and, to my ear, deeply American) 5 Songs from William Blake , the incredibly beautiful Feast of Love for baritone and chamber ensemble (a real lesson in how to vary orchestral texture and how to continue a musical line)

Z by birthday from the calendar Credits and feedback Vergilius (70 B.C.E. - 19 B.C.E.) - in English Virgil or Vergil, Latin in full Publius Vergilius Maro The greatest Roman poet, called by Tennyson "wielder of the stateliest measure ever moulded by the lips of man." Virgil is known for his epic, the AENEID (written about 29 B.C.E., unfinished), which had taken its literary model from Homer's epic poems Iliad and Odyssey . The tale depicts Aeneas's homeseeking and his war to found a city. The archetypical character has given much later model to Western heroes familiar from the books of Owen Wister and Louis L'Amour. "It is easy to go down into Hell; night and day, the gates of dark Death stand wide; but to climb back again, to retrace one's steps to the upper air - there's the rub, the task." (from Aeneid "Fortune assists the bold." After the battle of Philippi in 42 B.C.E. Virgil his or his father's property in Cisalpine Gaul was confiscated for veterans. According to some sources it was afterwards restored at the command of Octavian (later styled Augustus). In the following years Virgil spent most of his time in Campania and Sicily, but he had also a house at Rome. During the reign of emperor Augustus, Virgil became a member of his court circle and was aided by minister Maecenas, patronage of arts and close friend to poet Horace . Maecenas was twice left in virtual control of Rome when the emperor was away. Maecenas gave Virgil a house near Naples.

Extractions: Search Virgil's Latin works Query scope: Eclogues only Georgics only Aeneid only Appendix Vergiliana Maffeo Vegio's Supplementum Look for: How to enter search queries For the sake of consistency, the texts used by this search engine always use u for v and i for j . If your search yields no results, check to make sure that your search doesn't include v or j To find parts of words, use an asterisk (*) to represent missing parts of the word. For example, if you enter "mund*" it will match "mundus", "mundi", etc. Similarly, "*que" would find "quisque", "atque", etc. The search query can either be one or more words (a simple search) separated by spaces, or a boolean expression. All searches are performed in a case insensitive manner: for example, entering "DOMUS" is identical to entering "domus", "Domus" or even "DoMUs". Boolean Searches For more control over the search query, you can use a boolean expression. If you enter the word or between two search words (with a space between each word and the "or") it will find any line which contains either the first word, or the second word, or both. For example, "aeneas or dido" would find lines containing the word "aeneas" or the word "dido", or both. If instead of the word or you entered and it would match only lines which contained both the word "aeneas" and the word "dido". Note that this would be the same as a simple search for "aeneas dido" because if the boolean commands are omitted, it defaults to assuming an

Virgil Thomson
Biographical text accompanying the Alice Neel painting of the composer at the Smithsonian Institution's National Portrait Gallery.
http://www.npg.si.edu/exh/brush/thom.htm

Extractions: Composer Virgil Thomson began his musical training at age five, and by his twelfth year he was performing professionally on both piano and organ. In the mid-1920s he settled in Paris, where he began to compose original works. There he also became part of a cosmopolitan group of avant-garde musicians, writers, and painters then dominating the cultural life of the city. A close friend was the expatriate American writer Gertrude Stein, who wrote the librettos for his operas Four Saints in Three Acts and The Mother of Us All , the latter based on the life of suffragist Susan B. Anthony. By the late 1930s, Thomson was writing music for movies, and in 1948 his score for the film Louisiana Story won a Pulitzer Prize. Thomson was also a major spokesman for the new directions of twentieth-century music as critic for the New York Herald-Tribune from 1940 to 1954. Alice Neel painted many of her colleagues in the world of arts and letters, particularly those in New York City, her home for many years. As she painted, Neel sometimes exaggerated the effect that the body or expression of her sitter had on her own mind. After Thomson's sitting, she wrote, "When I painted the trousers I must confess I thought of elephants so that is the color they really are."

In January 1917 he enlisted in a mounted artillary outfit with a National Guard regiment, and in August he joined its Medical Detachment. His regiment acquired the name 129th.
