“Happy” 200th Birthday, Edgar Allan Poe!

Born January 19, 1809; died October 7, 1849; never very happy for very long.

Born January 19, 1809; died October 7, 1849; never very happy for very long.

No rays from the holy heaven come down
On the long night-time of that town;
But light from out the lurid sea
Streams up the turrets silently–
Gleams up the pinnacles far and free–
Up domes–up spires–up kingly halls–
Up fanes–up Babylon-like walls–
Up shadowy long-forgotten bowers
Of sculptured ivy and stone flowers–
Up many and many a marvellous shrine
Whose wreathèd friezes intertwine
The viol, the violet, and the vine.
Resignedly beneath the sky
The melancholy waters lie.
So blend the turrets and shadows there
That all seem pendulous in air,
While from a proud tower in the town
Death looks gigantically down.

–The City in the Sea

Happy 303rd Birthday, Benjamin Franklin!

In 1783 he wrote to Sir Joseph Banks, president of the Royal Society:

Furnished as all Europe now is with Academies of Science, with nice instruments and the spirit of experiment, the progress of human knowledge will be rapid and discoveries made of which we have at present no conception. I begin to be almost sorry I was born so soon, since I cannot have the happiness of knowing what will be known a hundred years hence.

We’re sure he would have been even happier to see what had been discovered 200 years thence, and would have felt right at home in the Hare & Hedgepig.

Happy Eleventy-SixthSeventh Birthday, J.R.R. Tolkien!


Ai! laurië lantar lassi súrinen,
yéni únótimë ve rámar aldaron!
Yéni ve lintë yuldar avánier
mi oromardi lissë-miruvóreva
Andúnë pella, Vardo tellumar
nu luini yassen tintilar i eleni
ómaryo airetári-lírinen.

Happy Birthday, Isaac Asimov!

The most prolific member of the Holy Trinity of classic mid-20th-century science-fiction (along with Arthur C. Clarke and Robert A. Heinlein) would have been 89 years old on January 2. There are still a few minutes to wish him well, in whatever dimension he currently inhabits.

Happy 178th Birthday, Emily Dickinson!

In one of her letters she wrote:

If I read a book and it makes my whole body so cold no fire can ever warm me, I know that is poetry. If I feel physically as if the top of my head were taken off, I know that is poetry. These are the only ways I know it. Is there any other way?

You pretty much have to celebrate the birthday of someone who feels like that.

Happy Birthday, MuseBlog!

August 1 is our beloved blog’s third birthday. Just think of it: three years with pie filling running down our faces. What a long, strange drip it’s been.

Waiter, a round of key lime for our multitudes of friends!

Happy 149th Birthday, Sir Arthur Conan Doyle!

Born on 25 May 1859, he gave the world Sherlock Holmes (who, by the way, said both “elementary” and “my dear Watson,” but never together). A few pies of gratitude, please, for the Master.
