I know, I know, the grid did have some persnickety names — ONEAL, IVAN, URBAN and REN should be the lot of them — but I don't think any of them created a sticking point.

The anarcho-primitivist and anarcha-feminist Lilith has published writings from a post-left anarchist perspective. In Gender Disobedience: Antifeminism and Insurrectionist Non-dialogue (2009), she has criticized Wolfi Landstreicher's position on feminism, saying: "I feel that an anarchist critique of feminism may be valuable and illuminating. What I do not wish for is more of the same anti-intellectualism and non-thought that seems to be the lot of post-Leftist critiques of feminist theory". Lilith, along with other authors, published BLOODLUST: a feminist journal against civilization.Anarchistnews.

Anna Gonzaga described Duke Henry's "good and bad qualities" as follows: > Monsieur Guise had the figure, the air and the manners of a hero in a novel, > and his entire life bore the mark this character. Magnificence reigned in > his entire person and in everything that surrounded him; his conversation > was especially charming: everything he said, everything he did, proclaimed > that he was an extraordinary man. Ambition and love dominated his projects, > which were so vast that they were Homeric; but with such an illustrious > name, heroic valor, and a bit of good fortune, nothing exceeded his hopes. > He had a gift for making himself loved by all those he wanted to please, > which seemed to be the lot of the princes of the House of Lorraine.

Wordsworth's "Laodamia", published in 1815, is a narrative poem in stanzas dealing with the classical story of Protesilaus, a Greek hero who sacrificed himself in fulfilment of the oracle which declared that victory should be the lot of that party from which should fall the first victim in the Trojan War. According to the legend, as narrated by Wordsworth, Laodamia, the wife of Protesilaus, prays to the gods that her husband may return to her from Hades. He does so and relates the story of his death at the hands of Hector, rebuking the excessive passion of his wife, who cannot bring herself to consent to his return to the shades of death. Summoned by Hermes the spectre departs, leaving Laodamia a lifeless corpse upon the palace floor.
