Who . . .

. . .  said it, stole it, corrupted it?  Who knows?

(from https://www.phrases.org.uk/meanings/blood-sweat-and-tears.html)
". . . The expression 'blood, sweat and tears' is usually said to have been coined by Sir Winston Churchill in his famous "I have nothing to offer but blood, toil, tears and sweat" speech in 1940, when he warned the British people of the hardships to come in fighting WWII. . . translated from the Welsh by J. Davis, 1837:
Christ the High Priest of our profession, when he laid down his life for us on Calvary, was bathed in his own blood, sweat and tears. . . Christmas Evans knew the Bible by heart and was no doubt influenced in his choice of words by this passage from The King James Bible, Luke 22:44: And being in an agony he prayed more earnestly: and his sweat was as it were great drops of blood falling down to the ground. . . The French and Italians, also Christian nations, have their own versions of the phrase - 'suer sang et eau' (sweat blood and water/tears) and 'lacrime e sangue' (blood and tears). . . "

Hocus-Pocus . . .


". . . 'But it is well for a man to respect his own vocation, whatever it is; and to think himself bound to uphold it, and to claim for it the respect it deserves; is it not?' Arthur reasoned. 'And your vocation, Gowan, may really demand this suit and service. I confess I should have thought that all Art did.' . . . 'What a good fellow you are, Clennam!' exclaimed the other, stopping to look at him, as if with irrepressible admiration. 'What a capital fellow! You have never been disappointed. That's easy to see.' . . . It would have been so cruel if he had meant it, that Clennam firmly resolved too believe he did not mean it. Gowan, without pausing, laid his hand upon his shoulder, and laughingly and lightly went on: 'Clennam, I don't like to dispel your generous visions, and I would give any money (if I had any), to live in such a rose-colored mist. But what I do in my trade, I do to sell. What all we fellows do, we do to sell. If we didn't want to sell it for the most we can get for it, we shouldn't do it. Being work, it has to be done; but it's easily enough done. All the rest is hocus-pocus. Not here's one of the advantages, our disadvantages, of knowing a disappointed man. You hear the truth.'. . .

Star . . .

 


You're a star.
Where you wanted to be,
You now are.
From afar
You appear not too different
Than me.
But the scars
You've acquired 
Did not come free.

Had I tried;
Had I done all I could
With all my might
Would the ride
Give return on the price
Which was required?
Cast aside
Any thoughts of security.

Teach . . .


 


(from https://aninjusticemag.com/republican-cancel-culture-wants-to-erase-critical-race-theory-e36499a9a901)
". . . The Florida State Board of Education unanimously voted to ban teaching ideas related to critical race theory Thursday, making it one of the largest public school systems to fall in line with conservative efforts across the country to regulate certain classroom instruction of American history. . . The rule says in part: “Instruction on the required topics must be factual and objective and may not suppress or distort significant historical events, such as the Holocaust, and may not define American history as something other than the creation of a new nation based largely on universal principles stated in the Declaration of Independence.” — Safia Samee Ali and The Associated Press, Florida Board of Education passes rule banning critical race theory in classrooms . . . The infuriating part is that banning Critical Race Theory represents an intentional distortion of facts. What are teachers supposed to do when students ask how the United States could be based on the principle that “all men are created equal,” when the man who wrote that himself owned human beings as property? . . . Will a teacher go to jail if they have an honest conversation about this blatant and obvious contradiction that’s going to be obvious to every single student in the classroom? Failure to speak honestly about this kind of thing is brainwashing, not education. It’s impossible to comply with this law as written. . . "

Groovy . . .

 

(from https://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/opus#note-1)
". . . A literary opus is often a single novel, though the word may sometimes refer to all of a writer's works. But opus normally is used for musical works. Mendelssohn's Opus 90 is his Italian Symphony, for example, and Brahms's Op. 77 is his Violin Concerto. Since many composers' works were never given opus numbers in an orderly way, they now often have catalog numbers assigned by later scholars. So Haydn's Symphony No. 104 is Hob.104 (Hob. is short for Anthony van Hoboken, the cataloger), and Mozart's Marriage of Figaro is K.492 (K. stands for Ludwig Köchel). . ."

Oddly . . .

 


Curiosity prompts investigation,
Even if not quite an actual fixation.
Results run the gamut from factual to shoddy,
But the thrill is no less, obtained normally or oddly.
