The band deals in the kind of fetid, backward-facing death that we've come to expect from the underground post-2010, replete with shuddering riffs, mouldering roars, blackened malevolence, and an overall vibe of churning, oozing chaos that's perhaps an unintentional (but welcome) relic of the progenitors' time spent playing in black metal bands like Lake of Blood and Doctorshopper.

In the wake of Princess Diana's death in 1997, when the reputation of the Windsors was said to have reached its nadir, the Scottish writer Tom Nairn sensed that the crowds of mourners lining the Mall had "gathered to witness auguries of a coming time" when Britain would at last be freed from "the mouldering waxworks" ensconced in Buckingham Palace.

In theory, the British could have recommissioned their entire squadron within a few days. By 1827 however, all the ships were mouldering, and unfit for service. The stores were auctioned in 1834 and the surviving ships were written off or disposed of over the next few years. Several were sunk in Navy Bay near Kingston.

Under the definition above, Finnegans Wake, the Critique of Pure Reason, and Being and Time are considered nonergodic literature as they require only "trivial...effort to traverse the text[s]". A stack of stained and mouldering newspapers, on the other hand, is ergodic literature. The concepts of cybertext and ergodic literature were of seminal importance to new media studies, in particular literary approaches to digital texts and to game studies.

However, a proposal to convert it into a wind tunnel for testing Formula One cars was publicised in October 2014. By 2019, the rebuilding work was well-advanced, including alterations to local roads. The advantages of an arrow-straight enclosed space, with near- perfect level alignment, will hopefully attract business to this inspirational re-use of what, for 50 years, was a mouldering hunk of the last great mainline to be built in Britain for nearly a century.

Designed to be a church in the model city of Firminy Vert, the construction of Saint-Pierre was begun in 1971, six years after Le Corbusier's death in 1965. Due to local political conflicts it remained stalled from 1975 to 2003, when the local government declared the mouldering concrete ruin an "architectural heritage" and financed its completion. The building was completed by the French architect José Oubrerie, Le Corbusier's student for many years. It has been used for many different purposes, as a secondary school and as a shelter.

Five colonial grave markers are spaced throughout the churchyard: in 1963, three were illegible and two were table tombs moved from "Wilmington" (Wilmington, Virginia, is over one hundred miles northwest of Yeocomico). The church is surrounded by a wall of modern origin, one of several replacements. In 1838, this wall is reported by Bishop Meade as "mouldering away"Meade II 148 while the obviously old sections of the wall may be "very old". The present gates may have been present in 1920 as a painting of that date shows similar gates in place.

An anecdote reports that the mouse was drawn from life – or rather death, as it was killed by Millais after it scurried across the floor and hid behind some furniture so he could immortalise it. Together, Millais's painting and Tennyson's poem create an intriguing storyline for the reader to follow. However, Millais's painting departs from Tennyson's narrative in some respects. The Mariana depicted by Millais is placed in a scene filled with vibrant colours; she is not the forlorn woman described by Tennyson, unwilling to live an independent life, confined to a dilapidated retreat, with a " mouldering wainscots".

Path of trees with ivy undergrowth, photographWhether describing ivy crawling up a home - or lit by rays of sun beneath trees, van Gogh enjoyed ivy and referred to Charles Dickens' poem "Ivy Green" in his early letters. :"The Ivy Green" by Charles Dickens :Oh, a dainty plant is the Ivy green, That creepeth o'er ruins old! Of right choice food are his meals, I ween, In his cell so lone and cold. The wall must be crumbled, the stone decayed, To pleasure his dainty whim: And the mouldering dust that years have made Is a merry meal for him.

Nineteenth-century newspapers featured poems and other art forms, including the lyrics to songs. Along with the lyrics to this newly written song was a notation telling readers it should be sung to the tune of "John Brown's Body Lies A-Mouldering In His Grave." McCabe liked the song, sang it, and taught it to his fellow prisoners—doctors, lawyers and other professionals—to pass the time in prison. Latter at a meeting of the United States Christian Commission in the U.S. Capitol he greatly impressed Lincoln, who was in attendance along with many members of Congress.

No archaeological evidence survives of Druidry, although a number of burials made with ritual trappings and found in Kent may suggest a religious character to the subjects. Overall, the traditional view is that religion was practiced in natural settings in the open air. Gildas mentions "those diabolical idols of my country, which almost surpassed in number those of Egypt, and of which we still see some mouldering away within or without the deserted temples, with stiff and deformed features as was customary". However, several sites interpreted as Iron Age shrines seem to contradict this view which may derive from Victorian and later Celtic romanticism.

Parts of the burial ground were exposed during the successive developments in the 19th, 20th and 21st centuries. The Corporation authorised the creation of Liverpool Street in 1823. The constructions of the road (circa 1823–24) included a new sewer and a boundary wall, which unearthed the "mouldering bones of several hundred human bodies" that were first "scattered about in the most indecent manner" before being "partly re-interred in one pit … and partly carted away". A notable early resident of Liverpool Street was the Charles Roach Smith, the English antiquarian and amateur archaeologist, who noted the accidental discovery of human remains at the site in the mid 19th century.

A death-blow was struck at that Erastianism which had lately become so predominant in the Church of Scotland; and such was the spirit of research among the mouldering records of its long-neglected library, and the ardour with which they were published and diffused, that the former ignorance and indifference could be tolerated no longer. These effects went on from year to year, and their result we know. Scotland is now awake, and the creed which was almost filched from her relaxing hand, is held with as tight a grasp as ever. The next literary undertaking, in which we find Dr. M'Crie employed, was a conflict with an antagonist every way worthy of his prowess.

416 Some of these lines are also recorded in Notes and Queries, which says they "went the round of the papers at the time": :Here rests, and let no saucy knave :Presume to sneer and laugh, :To learn that mouldering in the grave :Is laid a British calf. :For he who writes these lines is sure :That those who read the whole :Will find such laugh were premature, :For here, too, lies a sole. :And here five little ones repose, :Twin-born with other five; :Unheeded by their brother toes, :Who now are all alive. :A leg and foot to speak more plain :Lie here, of one commanding; :Who, though his wits he might retain, :Lost half his understanding.

However, the liberalism of his early years was gone forever, and he had become reconciled to Metternich's view that in an age of decay, the sole function of a statesman was to prop up mouldering institutions. It was the hand of the author of that offensive Memorandum to Frederick William III on the freedom of the press that drafted the Carlsbad Decrees. It was he who inspired the policy of repressing the freedom of the universities, and he noted in his diary as a day more important than that of Leipzig the session of the Vienna conference of 1819, which decided to make the convocation of representative assemblies in the German states impossible, by enforcing the letter of Article XIII of the Act of Confederation.

11, p. 36. Critic David Bromwich finds in what Hazlitt does portray of Coleridge the man—metaphorically depicting the state of his mind—as rich with allusions to earlier poets and "echoes" of Coleridge's own poetry:Bromwich 1999, p. 265 > Mr. Coleridge has a "mind reflecting ages past": his voice is like the echo > of the congregated roar of the 'dark rearward and abyss' of thought. He who > has seen a mouldering tower by the side of a chrystal lake, hid by the mist, > but glittering in the wave below, may conceive the dim, gleaming, uncertain > intelligence of his eye; he who has marked the evening clouds uprolled (a > world of vapours), has seen the picture of his mind, unearthly, > unsubstantial, with gorgeous tints and ever-varying forms ...Hazlitt 1930, > vol.

The following years marked an increased interest in classical Greece, and in June 1816, after parliamentary hearings, the House of Commons offered £35,000 in exchange for the sculptures. Even at the time the acquisition inspired much debate, although it was supported by "many persuasive calls" for the purchase. Lord Byron strongly objected to the removal of the marbles from Greece, denouncing Elgin as a vandal. His point of view about the removal of the Marbles from Athens is also mentioned in his narrative poem Childe Harold's Pilgrimage, published in 1812, which itself was largely inspired by Byron's travels around the Mediterranean and the Aegean Sea between 1809 and 1811: > Dull is the eye that will not weep to see Thy walls defaced, thy mouldering > shrines removed By British hands, which it had best behoved To guard those > relics ne'er to be restored.

The altar in the background may be a reference to Mariana's fervent prayers to the Virgin Mary in "Mariana in the South". The stained glass in the window shows an Annunciation scene, with the Angel Gabriel and the Virgin Mary, based on a window at the east end of the chapel of Merton College, Oxford, and also an invented coat of arms with a snowdrop and the Latin motto "In coelo quies" ("In Heaven there is rest"), possibly a reference to the feast of St Agnes' Eve and John Keats's poem The Eve of St Agnes. Many of the details in the painting relate directly to Tennyson's poetry. For example, the little mouse in the bottom right corner is a detail directly from the poem: "the mouse behind the mouldering wainscots shriek'd or from the crevice peer'd about".

For most of its run, the late-night program opened with a shot of a mist-shrouded castle (in actuality, an Alexander Brand HO scale Haunted House, accompanied by sound effects borrowed from Walt Disney's Chilling, Thrilling Sounds of the Haunted House and music pilfered from Neal Hefti's score for the 1966 Roddy McDowall film Lord Love a Duck. Within its mouldering recesses, the camera settled onto a coffin, which opened to reveal a skeleton. A clever camera fade transformed the bones into The Count, a dime-store Dracula whose shtick was worse than his bite. (A fallible bloodsucker, any attempts to frighten his younger viewers would be undermined by such antics as slamming his fingers beneath his coffin lid.) Armed with a battery of bad puns and a mock Transylvanian accent, The Count would introduce double-features that usually consisted of low-budget horror and science-fiction fare, although occasionally it would be padded out by poverty-row thrillers from the 1930s and 1940s.

Benedict Nicolson, who was an authority on Joseph Wright believed this painting inspired lines of poetry in a collection named after and in aid of the preservation of Needwood Forest. The lines were written by Francis Noel Clarke Mundy, who later commissioned six Wright portraits, including one of himself. These three quarter length portraits were of himself and five of his friends in the uniform of Mundy's own private hunt. Mundy's lines read: :Whilst as the silver moonbeams rise, :Imagin'd temples strike my eyes :With tottering spire, and mouldering wall, :And high roof nodding to it's fall, - :His lanterns gleaming down the glade, :One, like a sexton with his spade, :Comes from their caverns to exclude :The midnight prowlers from the wood... It is apt that Wright who had based his own paintings like Miravan on literature should, in turn, inspire poetry in the group that included Erasmus Darwin and Anna Seward.

A sketch of the castle's hall, including workers and visitors, by Frances Stackhouse-Acton in 1868 During the 18th century, Stokesay Castle continued to be leased by the Baldwyn family, although they sublet the property to a range of tenants; after this point it ceased to be used as a domestic dwelling.; Two wood and plaster buildings, built against the side of the hall, were demolished around 1800, and by the early 19th century the castle was being used for storing grain and manufacturing, including barrel-making, coining and a smithy. The castle began to deteriorate, and the antiquarian John Britton noted during his visit in 1813 that it had been "abandoned to neglect, and rapidly advancing to ruin: the glass is destroyed, the ceilings and floors are falling, and the rains streams through the opening roof on the damp and mouldering walls".; The smithy in the basement of the south tower resulted in a fire in 1830, which caused considerable damage to the castle, gutting the south tower.
