leon xiii / save our souls / the currach / the rescue

"It was an experience I shall never forget. The bravery of those Clare rescuers will live in my memory. How can I speak of it in terms that it will properly describe its magnificent character? Those Clare men, they are brave, they put out their little canoes time after time and the waves rolled over them and seemed to engulf them. At one moment they rode over the white crests buoyantly and bravely, another moment they were plunged down into a great valley of water. We on the wreck said, "All is over," but on they came nothing daunted, but why they should come in the teeth of such a tremendous sea can only be explained by their own intrepid instinct; for it seemed they had no earthly chance of getting us away from the wreck in these little currachs"

But god, being old does send one into paroxysms over milves and dilves, huh.

I mean I guess the alternative is being Humbert Humbert, and god knows he can’t even speechify on the level Clare Quilty can.

But one can get unnecessarily fervorous about the fact that she’s curvaceous and unreasonably hipped and he’s a muscle bear who can operate a barbecue (I’m a vegetarian but the BBQ can do some good things with sweet potatoes and corn). Just want to send their kids off to the babysitter while I send aforesaid parents to a realm of bliss.

#I don't fucking know #we all float down here

[lolitafan1997]

Theory #1.

Clare Quilty does not exist but is another personality of Humbert Humbert. When Humbert kills Quilty he is killing off that part of him that makes him the way he is.

Note: I have seen several writings about this and explaining the many hints in the book that actually support this. Personally I do not believe this to be true and that Quilty as presented in the book is real and did rescue/kidnap Dolores and is killed in the end.

What do you think?

Clare Quilty’s most villainous quality is his ceaseless misgendering

[welcometojap4n]

Is that him?

Up the ladder

You want me to call him in?

No.. he's not the one i want

He's not the what?

You know what i mean - where is he?

Look... Dick has nothing to do with all that stuff. He thinks you're my father, please don't bring up all that muck.

Alright, i'll find up myself.

You really don't know?. Oh my god dad, it was Quilty, it was Clare Quilty...

(...)

Yes. Yes, of course... Quilty.

Yeah... he was the only man i was really crazy about

What about me?. (...) Where'd he take you?... just tell me

Well, everybody knew he liked little girls. he used to film them in his mansion over in Parkington. Pavor Manor. But i wasn't gonna do all those things.

THIS DAY IN GAY HISTORY

based on: The White Crane Institute's 'Gay Wisdom', Gay Birthdays, Gay For Today, Famous GLBT, glbt-Gay Encylopedia, Today in Gay History, Wikipedia, and more …

1900 – Baron George Hoyningen-Huene (d.1968) was a seminal fashion photographer of the 1920s and 1930s. He was born in Russia to Baltic German and American parents and spent his working life in France, England and the United States. Born in Saint Petersburg, Russia, Hoyningen-Huene was the only son of Baron Barthold Theodorevitch von Hoyningen-Huene (1859-1942), a Baltic nobleman and military officer. His mother was an American.

During the Russian Revolution, the Hoyningen-Huenes fled to first London, and later Paris. By 1925 George had already worked his way up to chief of photography at French Vogue. In 1931 he met Horst [pictured lbelow, photographed by Hoyningen-Huene], the future photographer, who became his lover and frequent model, and travelled to England with him that winter. While there, they visited photographer Cecil Beaton, who was working for the British edition of Vogue.

"Horst on Mantel"

In 1935 Hoyningen-Huene moved to New York City where he did most of his work for Harper's Bazaar. He published two art books on Greece and Egypt before relocating to Hollywood, where he earned a living shooting glamorous portraits for the film industry.

Hoyningen-Huene worked before anything resembling contemporary flash photography was known. Working in huge studios and with whatever lighting worked best. There is something about the texture of his black and whites that one seldom finds in contemporary work. Beyond fashion, he was a master portraitist as well from Hollywood stars to other celebrities.

He also worked in Hollywood in various capacities in the film industry, working closely with George Cukor, notably as special visual and colour consultant for the 1954 Judy Garland movie A Star Is Born. He served a similar role for the 1957 film Les Girls, which starred Kay Kendall and Mitzi Gaynor and the Sophia Loren film Heller in Pink Tights.

He died at 68 years of age in Los Angeles.

1938 – Leonard Frey (d.1988) was an American actor. He is best remembered for his performance in the 1971 film Fiddler on the Roof, which earned him an Academy Award for Best Supporting Actor nomination.

Frey was born in Brooklyn, New York. After attending James Madison High School, he studied art at Cooper Union, with designs on being a painter, before switching to acting at New York City's Neighborhood Playhouse under famed acting coach Sanford Meisner, and pursued a career in theater instead. Frey made his stage debut in an Off-Broadway production of Little Mary Sunshine.

Frey received critical acclaim in 1968 for his performance as Harold in off-Broadway's The Boys in the Band. He would go on to appear alongside the rest of the original cast in the 1970 film version, directed by William Friedkin.

Frey was nominated for a 1975 Tony Award as Best Featured Actor in a Play for his performance in The National Health. Other stage credits include revivals of The Time of Your Life (1969), Beggar on Horseback (1970), Twelfth Night (1972) and The Man Who Came to Dinner (1980). He also played Clare Quilty in the Alan Jay Lerner musical Lolita, My Love which closed, before reaching Broadway, in 1971.

Frey was nominated for the Academy Award for Best Supporting Actor for his performance as Motel the tailor in Norman Jewison's 1971 film Fiddler on the Roof (he had appeared in the original Broadway musical production as Mendel, the rabbi's son). His other film credits included roles in The Magic Christian (1969), Tell Me That You Love Me, Junie Moon (1970), Where the Buffalo Roam (1980), Up the Academy (1980), and Tattoo (1981).

Frey's television credits included appearances on Hallmark Hall of Fame; Medical Center; Mission Impossible; Eight is Enough; Quincy, M.E.; Hart to Hart; Barney Miller; Moonlighting; and Murder, She Wrote.

Frey died at the age 49 of an AIDS-related illness in New York on August 24, 1988.

1957 – On this date in the United Kingdom, the Wolfenden Report was published. It was the culmination of a request by the Conservative government in 1954 to set up a Departmental Committee to look into aspects of British sex laws. The committee of 13 members committee was chaired by Sir John Wolfenden, Vice-Chancellor of Reading University, investigated the current laws on homosexuality and prostitution. The Wolfenden Report was published after a succession of well-known men, including Lord Montagu, Michael Pitt-Rivers and Peter Wildeblood, were convicted of homosexual offences.

Disregarding the conventional ideas of the day, the committee recommended that "homosexual behaviour between consenting adults in private should no longer be a criminal offence". Contrary to some medical and psychiatric witnesses' evidence at that time, the committee found that "homosexuality cannot legitimately be regarded as a disease, because in many cases it is the only symptom and is compatible with full mental health in other respects." The report added, "The law's function is to preserve public order and decency, to protect the citizen from what is offensive or injurious, and to provide sufficient safeguards against exploitation and corruption of others ... It is not, in our view, the function of the law to intervene in the private life of citizens, or to seek to enforce any particular pattern of behaviour." The recommended age of consent was 21 (the age of majority in the UK then).

The report also discussed the rise in street prostitution at the time, which it associated with "community instability" and "weakening of the family". As a result there was a police crackdown on street prostitution following the report.

"The enforcement of Morals", by Patrick Devlin, stated that "Adultery, fornication, and prostitution are not, as the Report points out, criminal offences: homosexuality between males is a criminal offence, but between females it is not."

The recommendations of the report eventually led to the passage of the Sexual Offences Act 1967, applying to England and Wales only, that replaced the previous law on sodomy contained in the Offences against the Person Act 1861 and the 1885 Labouchere Amendment which outlawed every other homosexual act. The law was only passed a decade after the report was published in 1957.

John Wolfenden came 45th in a list of the top 500 lesbian and gay heroes, Pink Paper, 26 September 1997. It later became known that his son Jeremy Wolfenden was gay.

2017 – Canada has discreetly granted asylum to 31 gay men from Chechnya working with the NGO Rainbow Railroad,  a clandestine program unique in the world. In April, Justin Trudeau and the Canadian  government strongly condemned persecution of homosexuals in Chechnya. Canada is not the only country to accept gay refugees from Chechnya and other countries in the region. France has accepted at least one person, as has Germany, and two are in Lithuania. An undetermined number of individuals have traveled to European Union countries on tourist visas, and then applied for refugee status. So far, the United States has done nothing.

Let's take a look at Clare Quilty's plays: source: cap 8, first part.

Here Humbert describes Clare for the first time (using his real name) Quilty, Clare, American dramatist. Born in Ocean City, N.J., 1911. Educated at Columbia University. Started on a commercial career but turned to playwriting. Author of The Little Nymph, The Lady Who Loved Lightning (in collaboration with Vivian Darkbloom), Dark Age, The strange Mushroom, Fatherly Love, and others. His many plays for children are notable. Little Nymph (1940) traveled 14,000 miles and played 280 performances on the road during the winter before ending in New York. Hobbies: fast cars, photography, pets.

Let's compare the names with other details we can found while reading the book.

The little nymph. Little Nymph (1940) traveled 14,000 miles and played 280 performances on the road during the winter before ending in New York. I personally link this to Lolita herself.

The lady who loved lightning - we have a reference here: cap 18 part 2, Lolita says during a storm: "I am not a lady and do not like lightning," said Lo, whose dread of electric storms gave me some pathetic solace.

Dark age. I believe this is about "nymphets": Between the age limits of nine and fourteen there occur maidens who, to certain bewitched travelers, twice or many times older than they, reveal their true nature which is not human, but nymphic (that is, demoniac); and these chosen creatures I propose to designate as "nymphets.".

The strange mushroom - This one is the creepiest. ". . .And perhaps your family doctor might like to examine her physically--just a routine check-up. She is in Mushroom--the last classroom along that passage." Beardsley School, it may be explained, copied a famous girls school in England by having "traditional" nicknames for its various classrooms: Mushroom, Room-In 8, B-Room, Room-BA and so on. Mushroom was smelly, with a sepia print [...] After that he made her touch him. Inside the fuck**** school.

Fatherly love. This one is easy. Humbert hides himself behind the picture of a perfect father. Lolita also considers him a father, as she has no references (hers died when she was 3). "How sweet it was to bring that coffee to her, and then deny it until she had done her morning duty. And I was such a thoughtful friend, such a passionate father […]" Dick did not know a thing of the whole mess. He thought I was her father. She asked me not to be dense. The past was the past. I had been a good father, she guessed--granting me that. "I do, Quilty. You see, I am her father."

november's short story is the terrible thing at the edge of the lake, with its title taken from this snazzy little extract from a streetcar named desire:

I ran out—all did!—all ran and gathered about the terrible thing at the edge of the lake! I couldn't get near for the crowding. Then somebody caught my arm. "Don't go any closer! Come back! You don't want to see!" See? See what! Then I heard voices say—Allan! Allan! The Grey boy! He'd stuck the revolver into his mouth, and fired—so that the back of his head had been—blown away! It was because—on the dance-floor—unable to stop myself—I'd suddenly said—"I saw! I know! You disgust me..."

it's an allegorical piece about the ideas that williams was playing with in that extract; about being gay and transgender and when you have two dead starlings as pets that you take to school and you name them clare and quilty. it's 2,090 words and you can read it for as little as £1/$1 on patreon at the link. as ever, i also have a ko-fi. reblogs are deeply appreciated. thanks so much!

Listen, I don’t want to say Clare Quilty is a GREAT character but his vibe is a mood (I would like to, again, emphasize not the pedophile part). I’m specifically talking about his ability to be held at gun point but still doesn’t mind running around in his untied robe. And as he’s being chased around at gun point, his last act is to sit down at his piano (flipping his robe out dramatically) and pretends to play (the piano is automatic). One of his last words is, “That hurts.” But then manages to take several bullets while on his way to his bed--priority being coziness while dying.
