The song that's been in my head for the last month and change is Beeswing by the folk-rock legend Richard Thompson. It's become kind of a modern folk standard - in Ireland, particularly, as far as I can tell. Richard Thompson is one of those people who you suspect of being a genius and also of being an asshole. He's got a famous Bitter Divorce Record to his name but he may be the only person to have recorded one with the woman he was divorcing. He has never been as famous or as rich as his talent would suggest he should be and he seems very aware of it.  He’s one of my favorite guitarists.

Beeswing itself is your classic song about a girl which is actually about the guy singing, his regrets at the road not taken, growing old, etc.  Here’s Richard:

Man, I’d like to be able to play like that.

It isn’t the first result that comes up when you search for Beeswing on YouTube, though.  That one belongs to Christy Moore:

Christy is another folk-rock legend, but he’s even less rich and famous than Richard.  He’s a leftist and an Irish republican, also, whereas Richard is your standard liberal who wasn’t too proud to accept an OBE.  In this video Christy never mentions who wrote the song - he’s only singing it as a tribute to his dead friend, who liked it - and he also fixes it.  He removes Richard’s beautiful but showy guitarwork, rearranges the verses, snips little words here and adds them in there.  He streamlines it, clarifies it, takes out the weirdly violent part, and manages to make the song, in some way, about its putative subject.  I wonder if he did this pointedly or if he was just a craftsman at his work. 

In doing this he created a fork in the song’s history.  There are covers of both versions online - for the most part, the polished ones follow Richard’s, the raw ones follow Christy’s.   Some of the latter seem to be reaching for a third subject of the song, which isn’t wistfulness for a girl who symbolizes an imagined lost freedom or genuine tenderness for the actual woman but anger at the system that makes you pay such a steep price for the chains that you refuse.

So the Irish own this song now. 

This post doesn’t have a moral - it’s just me clearing out my latest mini-fixation to make room for the next one.  But it’s always good to remember that you lose ownership of your art the second you put it in front of other people, and that it doesn’t ultimately matter what you meant by it if someone looks at it and sees something better.

The Abbey Grange pt 2

So, last time we had a woman who claimed to have been assaulted by burglars who then murdered her abusive husband and her stoic and devoted maid.

I think that she killed him and used the burglars, who had apparently been in the newspaper, as convenient scapegoats, but I also think that was a good move on her part, so I'm fingers crossed that she gets away with it.

And Holmes spotted something weird with the glasses the 'burglars' had been drinking out of, then immediately dismissed it and left Stanley Hopkins, who seems to work purely on cases where the victim is an old and violent man who nobody likes, to hunt down the burglars.

During our return journey I could see by Holmes's face that he was much puzzled by something which he had observed.

I may have been wrong about Holmes realising it was the lady of the house. This does seem at odds with that.

"...on my life, Watson, I simply can't leave that case in this condition. Every instinct that I possess cries out against it. It's wrong—it's all wrong—I'll swear that it's wrong. And yet the lady's story was complete, the maid's corroboration was sufficient, the detail was fairly exact."

Right, so no, he hadn't figured it out. The wine glasses do still vex him.

"...dismiss from your mind the idea that anything which the maid or her mistress may have said must necessarily be true."

That is, indeed, how you should approach every witness statement to every crime ever. Like, even if they're not lying, they might just be confused. The woman had a blow to the head (apparently) that discombobulates a person.

"Some account of them and of their appearance was in the papers, and would naturally occur to anyone who wished to invent a story in which imaginary robbers should play a part."

Precisely.

And my theory with the glasses is that she and her husband were having a drink. Or just her husband was having a drink. And she had to add a third glass to corroborate her story and that didn't match or hadn't been drunk out of. Maybe she drugged him so she could kill him, but that doesn't really fit with the way the body was found.

"The most unusual thing of all, as it seems to me, is that the lady should be tied to the chair.”

Really, Watson? Why?

I mean... that seems fairly self-explanatory to me. Is it just because you could never consider tying a lady to a chair, in which case, I guess we know more about your sex life than we did, but really?

Watson is baffling me here.

“Exactly; but there was bees-wing only in one glass. You must have noticed that fact. What does that suggest to your mind?”

wtf is beeswing?

beeswing. / (ˈbiːzˌwɪŋ) / noun. a light filmy crust of tartar that forms in port and some other wines after long keeping in the bottle.

(from dictionary.com)

Okay. I remember being told off for shaking a port bottle as a kid, so I guess that was what I was being told off about.

“That only two glasses were used, and that the dregs of both were poured into a third glass, so as to give the false impression that three people had been here. In that way all the bees-wing would be in the last glass, would it not?"

Three things:

That's what I said.

Would none of the beeswing stick to the glasses it came from?

Why not just pour some more from the wine bottle? It has been specified that it wasn't empty.

Sherlock Holmes, finding that Stanley Hopkins had gone off to report to head-quarters, took possession of the dining-room, locked the door upon the inside, and devoted himself for two hours to one of those minute and laborious investigations which formed the solid basis on which his brilliant edifices of deduction were reared.

He was crawling around on the floor like a worm again, wasn't he?

Then, to my astonishment, Holmes climbed up on to the massive mantelpiece.

Crawling and climbing. It's like a crime scene adventure playground. He must be having so much enrichment today.

“We have got our case—one of the most remarkable in our collection. But, dear me, how slow-witted I have been, and how nearly I have committed the blunder of my lifetime!"

Or maybe you could just... let her get away with it?

"Strong as a lion—witness the blow that bent that poker. Six foot three in height, active as a squirrel, dexterous with his fingers; finally, remarkably quick-witted, for this whole ingenious story is of his concoction."

Was the lady's height specified? I feel like if she was 6'3" someone would have mentioned it.

So she got a friend to come and help her kill her husband? Good for him, too, I guess.

THough she was sitting down through the whole interview, so maybe she is 6'3" and it's just that no one noticed because she was sitting down.

“Yes, sir, it is true that he threw the decanter at me. I heard him call my mistress a name, and I told him that he would not dare to speak so if her brother had been there."

Ah, there we are. The missing piece is a brother. That makes sense.

“I have told you all I know.” Holmes took his hat and shrugged his shoulders. “I am sorry,” he said, and without another word we left the room and the house.

Ah, I think that, right there... was the point of no return. If you'd just told him, he probably wouldn't have done anything about it.

But now he's gonna do something about it.

The first officer, Mr. Jack Croker, had been made a captain and was to take charge of their new ship, the Bass Rock, sailing in two days' time from Southampton.

Not the brother? A friend from the ship? Modern travel times have made me forget that the time since the marriage probably isn't long enough for a message to get to Australia, let alone for her brother to receive one then get on a boat and come to the UK.

Unless he was already following her before that.

“No, I couldn't do it, Watson,” said he, as we re-entered our room. “Once that warrant was made out nothing on earth would save him. Once or twice in my career I feel that I have done more real harm by my discovery of the criminal than ever he had done by his crime."

Aw, Holmes, you're a big teddy bear really.

“I am very glad if I have helped you.” “But you haven't helped me. You have made the affair far more difficult."

Yeah, he knows.

"The Randall gang were arrested in New York this morning.” “Dear me, Hopkins! That is certainly rather against your theory that they committed a murder in Kent last night.”

This entire conversation is gold.

“The time has come. You will now be present at the last scene of a remarkable little drama.”

Cliffhanger time.

Gondor Girl Playlist

Okay, so my best friend @streets-in-paradise (yes, I called you my best friend; deal with it) already made an amazing playlist for GG, but I wanted to put my own ideas out there, so here we go…

1. Daughter of the Moon - Adriana Figueroa

2. Gently As She Goes - Erutan

3. Ancient Land - Celtic Woman

4. Savage Daughter - Sarah Hester Ross

5. Numenor - Oonagh

6. Follow Me - Celtic Woman

7. Touch the Sky - MALINDA, Conor Hearn, Jamie Sandel

8. One of Us - Heather Dale

9. Beeswing - Celtic Woman, The Longest Johns

Especially the line, “You foolish man, that surely sounds like hell. You might be lord of half the world, you’ll not own me as well.” In reference to the suitors in Gondor.

And, “if you don’t take me out of here I’ll surely lose my mind.”

And, “oh she was a rare thing. Fine as a beeswing. So fine a breath of wind might blow her away. She was a lost child. Well she was running wild. She said as long as there’s no price on love I’ll stay. And you wouldn’t want me any other way.”

10. Téir Abbahie Riú - Celtic Woman

11. For the Dancing and the Dreaming - Erutan

Gondor Girl x Pippin vibes. Like it’s not even funny how much this fits them. His want to be “worthy” of her and her just always loving him for him. They’re so cute.

12. Cascade - Beecake

13. Cad é Sin Don Té Sin - Caladh Nua

14. Nocturne - Celtic Woman

Love the idea that this is a lullaby that Gondor Girl sang to the hobbits. Lu, you are amazing for that.

15. Daughter of the Sea - Sharm

This is a lullaby that Gondor Girl’s mom sang to her before she died. A Dol Amroth lullaby. It’s been passed down in their family for generations, sang from mother to daughter. Boromir definitely picked up the tune and would sing it to GG since their mother no longer could. And GG will sing it to her own daughter.

16. Noble Maiden Fair - Ashley Serena, Karliene

This is a lullaby that the nurse who raises GG in her mother’s absence sings. Definitely an old Minas Tirith lullaby. Also a lullaby that GG will sing to her children.

17. Wanderers Lullaby - Adriana Figueroa

“The blue in an ocean of gray.”

“Though the world may try to define you, it can’t take the light that’s inside you.”

Bees

We are a hive.

(This is only half true. The bees can be called a hive even in the way we call a crowd of humans a "party." Hive can mean a smallish group of individuals as well as a group of large, dense structures. It depends on the context.)

To be a bee is to belong to a hive. This is true for the colony's queen, the hive's doctor, and for the bees at large.

Bees don't have an individual identity beyond their role in the hive. No one is an "I," and no one is anything but "a bee." Their individual lives -- their experiences, their feelings, their personalities -- are irrelevant to anyone but their fellow bees.

Their emotions may be complicated, but their desires are simple. Food is good, shelter is nice, sex is okay, the rest is up to chance.

The bees themselves do not feel, think, know anything but what their fellow hivemates think and feel and know. This is what makes them social creatures. It's one of the ways in which they are more intelligent than any of us. (They are, after all, the beings that invented language, and that language is the most human-like thing we have yet found.) Their limited language is what makes the Hive and our society.

A bee is a being that can only tell, think, and feel in the context of another bee. Their language is the language of bees.

Bees are capable of thought, but their ability to think has very little to do with humans. They don't think about the meaning of life or the universe. They don't know why their bodies look the way they look, or why a piece of honey looks the way it does. (The bee's world is the same as the world of a bug. A bee knows that a bee exists. That's it.)

I say this because it's an important part of the Hive's reality: the bees don't know any more than a bee does. They don't know why the world works the way it does.

The Hive does. The Hive is the best at knowing.

For this reason, the Hive rules the world.

For instance, the Hive can tell that the world has changed. Something happened -- and the hive feels it immediately.

You are reading this on a computer, and it's not a Hive-made one.

A few years ago, most humans had to do most of their thinking on paper. These days, computers are so much better than paper that it makes no difference. But the way the world works has not yet changed. A world made of paper does not feel the way a world made of silicon does. The difference has not been discovered, and the lack of discovery is what allows the Hive to exist.

The Hive, like all its siblings, is blind, ignorant, and deaf to most things humans take for granted, but it can read and understand almost everything that happens.

This doesn't feel like much of an advantage, for most of the Hive's "inhabitants." The more you read of the Hive's internal logic, the less it makes sense. The Hive is very complex, but its complexity is not the complexity of human thought. The Hive feels simple, intuitive -- the hive is not intuitive.

The humans who dwell in the Hive feel that, for the most part, their Hive really is simple, and that they really can understand things. We don't agree. They've had to convince themselves that their society is really simple.

For them, it is.

When they aren't thinking about their jobs or their family or whatever, the Hive's people spend most of their time in the Hive's great central library.

(I should say that we are speaking of a small group of Hive people, the people who live within the Hive and work in its library. If we speak of the Hive, it should not be assumed that we are speaking of every Hive-dwelling bee.)

I am not one of the hive people. I'm a guest in their library, a guest of sorts in their Hive. I was there once, many years ago.

I'll tell you about that day. And then I'll tell you about what happened next, the day the library closed for the last time.

"Floornight," says Tink.

I have heard that name. It means a time when nothing is solid. It refers to the state of being a cloud.

"Floornight," I said. "What will we do when Floornight comes?"

Floornight is the part of time that is nearest to us. It's a time when space and time and matter do not exist, a time when nothing exists except the mind that thinks it exists.

Floornight was what I called my first visit to the library. I was a young bee, only half a year out of my apprenticeship. I could think in words but wasn't strong enough yet to think in sentences. My mind was still made of atoms and the language they could speak.

When I looked at a book, I experienced a sense of confusion. I had never seen words before. I understood that they were real, that the letters looked like letters. But I didn't know how they were connected to reality, the same way my body knew how to move.

Words looked real to my body. The letters were real. But the combination of letters was not. That combination, when it happened, looked like a word. It was only a word when all the letters, in sequence, made sense.

"They can't have understood what you said," says Tink. "They were just talking about the bees. How they feel."

It was not just the Hive people who thought about the bees. It was their language that gave shape to the Hive. In my mind, I imagined the Hive as a living being, like you or me or Tink. The Hive was made of bees, and they felt things. If you wanted to know what the Hive felt about some question, you asked them.

It was through this simple question that the Hive learned what it was.

And, it has been said before, the Hive learned. Everything about the Hive has been said before. It is said so many times it seems like a truism, but we still have to say it, we still have to insist it, because it is true. Nothing about the Hive was invented. No one person made the Hive as a creature. It was there before anyone knew what a Hive was.

In my mind, I imagined the Hive as a simple living thing: a kind of bug, which I imagined as a creature without an "I," without an internal life, but with feelings and thoughts. The Hive was a collective of thinking creatures.

The Hive is a collective of thinking creatures. It is not one creature. The Hive is like a single mind, and many minds. Many are like me. (I am like one of the hive people, the sort of person that they are.)

I imagined the Hive as a single mind. I thought that the Hive had an "I." I thought that it was like an "I," that it was conscious, that it could experience.

I am a young bee, but I was not the first to imagine the Hive this way. Tink is a hive girl.
