- 494: Poem Bushed
- ... his lack of structure one can only wonder if it is to bring more attention to the meaning of the poem in contrast to its structure or just a coincidence.

- 497: How Does Bernard Shaw Satirise
- ... century thought first produced in England: to wit, Byronism. Byronsim is derived from the word byronic, which is used to describe someone who is energetic, melodramatic and romantically good-looking, the characteristics of the poet Lord Byron. Byron was a controversial romantic, who was a superb poet (in some people s opinion) but led a scandalous life. Sergius is also good-looking, or believes himself to be, and it is revealed ... of the higher love and he seems to succeed in dispelling the notion of existence, right up until the very end, when he almost seems to allow an element of it back into the plot. Lord Byron wrote: In her first passion woman loves her lover, In all the other all she loves is love. However, Shaw seems to disagree with this, just as he disagreed with Lord Byron himself, in making Sergius a model of him. Instead, in Raina s case especially, in her first passion all she loved was the sense of the higher love, whilst in her second love, ...

(p.46) The relationship between isolation and magical beauty is ... depicted together with the nature and obligations of love; how it should be served with loyalty and good service.

No one, man or woman, could have gained access to this spot, or escaped from this walled enclosure. (p.46) Thus far Guigemars isolation as well as the ladys isolation ... the other members of the court, most importantly that of the kings. It should be noted though that physical isolation is touched upon briefly when it is mentioned that Lanval was born of another lord in another land.

- 499: Francesco Redi
- ... believed that life doesn't come from spontaneous generation. He set up an experiment with two jars. One covered, one not. In both jars he put raw meat. The meat in the uncovered soon attracted flies, which laid eggs on the piece of meat and produced maggots. In the covered jar the meat was not touched by flies and did not produce maggots. This proved that maggots come from flies, not from air. This also proves that spontaneous generation is not true. Other scientists such as Pasteur proved this also. He used broth and an S-shaped flask to prove his experiment. Redi proved ...
