“But it is true that I am a wretch. I have murdered the lovely and the helpless; I have strangled the innocent as they slept and grasped to death his throat who never injured me or any other living thing. I have devoted my creator, the select specimen of all that is worthy of loveContinue reading “RKS Literature: The Final Words of Frankenstein’s Creation (Mary Shelley)”

RKS Literature: Frankenstein Must Destroy the Creature He Created (Mary Shelley)
“I am, the soothing voice of my Elizabeth and the conversation with Clerval will be forever whispered in my ear. They are dead, and but one feeling in such solitude can persuade me to preserve my life. If I were engaged to any high undertaking or design, fraught with extensive utility to my fellow creatures,Continue reading “RKS Literature: Frankenstein Must Destroy the Creature He Created (Mary Shelley)”
“Lost in Puppydom: Rory Dylan Stephen’s Puppydom”: DOES RORY DYLAN STEPHEN REQUIRE AN INTERVENTION?
DOES RORY DYLAN STEPHEN REQUIRE AN INTERVENTION? Some readers have asked what is my diet? My basic chow (not Olivia Chow tax loving mayor of Toronto) is chicken kibble. I eat at free will as opposed to set feeding times. That suits me just fine. Polish it off with cold clean water and I’m goodContinue reading ““Lost in Puppydom: Rory Dylan Stephen’s Puppydom”: DOES RORY DYLAN STEPHEN REQUIRE AN INTERVENTION?”
“Lost in Puppydom: Rory Dylan Stephen’s Puppydom”: MY BIG DIG AND THE GREAT OPOSSUM SCARE
MY BIG DIG AND THE GREAT OPOSSUM SCARE Golly gee, I love digging a speciality of West Highland Terriers. I live to hunt prey (and perhaps a crust of bread and cheese too!) and there was an apparent collision between hunting and digging last night. Several days ago, due to global warming, we saw anContinue reading ““Lost in Puppydom: Rory Dylan Stephen’s Puppydom”: MY BIG DIG AND THE GREAT OPOSSUM SCARE”
RKS Literature: Why is Frankenstein’s Creation so Malicious? (Mary Shelley)
“I am malicious because I am miserable. Am I not shunned and hated by all mankind? You, my creator, would tear me to pieces and triumph; remember that, and tell me why I should pity man more than he pities me. You would not call it murder if you could precipitate me into one ofContinue reading “RKS Literature: Why is Frankenstein’s Creation so Malicious? (Mary Shelley)”
RKS Literature: How Can Frankenstein’s Creation Cease His Threats to Humanity?
“For some days I haunted the spot where these scenes had taken place, sometimes wishing to see you, sometimes resolved to quit this world and its miseries forever. At length I wandered through these mountains, and have ranged through their immense recesses, consumed by a burning passion which you alone can gratify. We may notContinue reading “RKS Literature: How Can Frankenstein’s Creation Cease His Threats to Humanity?”
RKS Literature: Frankenstein’s Creation Declares War on Humanity (Mary Shelley)
“I became fatigued with excess of bodily exertion and sank on the grass in the sick impotence of despair. There was none amongst the myriads of men that existed who would pity or assist me; and should I feel kindness towards my enemies? No; from that moment I declared everlasting war against the species, andContinue reading “RKS Literature: Frankenstein’s Creation Declares War on Humanity (Mary Shelley)”
RKS Literature: Frankenstein’s Creation Wretched, Miserable and Alone (Mary Shelley)
“Like Adam, I was apparently united by no link to any other being in existence; but his state was far different than mine in every other respect. He had come forward from the hands of God a perfect creature, happy and prosperous, guarded by the especial care of his Creator; he was allowed to converseContinue reading “RKS Literature: Frankenstein’s Creation Wretched, Miserable and Alone (Mary Shelley)”
“Lost in Puppydom: Rory Dylan Stephen’s Puppydom”: RORY’S POSEIDON ADVENTURE
RORY’S POSEIDON ADVENTURE Bob and I watched “The Poseidon Adventure” with Gene Hackman, Ernest Borgnine and Shelley Winters the other day on Turner Classic Movies. A passenger ship sinking! We are in the midst of a blizzard starting last night and continuing into the afternoon. As Bob says, “A real old-fashioned Canadian blizzard!” Oh JOYOUSContinue reading ““Lost in Puppydom: Rory Dylan Stephen’s Puppydom”: RORY’S POSEIDON ADVENTURE”
“Lost in Puppydom: Rory Dylan Stephen’s Puppydom” : I AM THE WHITE ROCKET BUT SOMETIMES SMELL LIKE AN EARTHWORM
I AM THE WHITE ROCKET BUT SOMETIMES SMELL LIKE AN EARTHWORM Over and over you read and hear West Highland Terriers have a digging and a strong prey instinct. Bob has commented I have the speed of a white rocket when I chase my prey, the black squirrel invading my backyard territory. And I haveContinue reading ““Lost in Puppydom: Rory Dylan Stephen’s Puppydom” : I AM THE WHITE ROCKET BUT SOMETIMES SMELL LIKE AN EARTHWORM”
