Away from all the world’s pressures, The Gravediggers is a swell spot.

The Falsehoods of Dylan Thomas

By: Russell Shortt | 03/06/2009 | Literature
Dylan Thomas has always being a man trapped between eras, very difficult to pin-down, far from easily definable, charmingly elusive. His origins are murky, perhaps not murky in fact but murky in attempting to ascertain his influences, in attempting to pinpoint where his Muses flock. By the age of four the young Dylan was supposed to be able to recite some Shakespeare that his father force fed him, this smacks of a fatherly blindness, perhaps bestowing the lofty ideals that had eluded him on his

By: Russell Shortt | 03/06/2009 | Literature
John Keats, I am not sure why but he has always struck me as being somewhat old, but of course he was never old, he died at the tender age of twenty-five. I don’t know why I think that way, whether it be his worldly views or his whole of the moon visions or perhaps the way the legion of Romantics exalt him so.

Lord Byron - The Greatest Romantic of All Time?

By: Russell Shortt | 03/06/2009 | Literature
Lord Bryon, at this stage of the game, more myth than man, was the first of the rock and roll stars, a maverick and an original. His life is like a cartoon, everything appears larger than life, he lived it by his own set of rules, no matter to the consequences. He was born in 1788 into the ying-yang relationship of Captain Mad Jack Byron and Catherine Gordon, heiress of Gight in Aberdeenshire and descendant of King James I.

The Life of Martin Luther

By: Russell Shortt | 03/06/2009 | Art & Entertainment
Martin Luther is the rarest of creatures, a man who knows his own mind, speaks it and refuses to be swayed. There is something so, so logical about the man and his life; he was baptised on the Feast of St. Martin of Tours, he fulfilled his father’s wishes by enrolling in law school but he dropped out almost immediately as he viewed law as symbolising uncertainty, he entered the monastery because he had made a vow on the spur of the moment that he would become a monk if he was saved from a storm
