RKS Literature: The Pulpit as the Prow of a Whaling Ship (Herman Melville)
“What could be more full of meaning? -For the pulpit is ever this earth’s foremost part; all the rest comes in its rear; the pulpit leads the world. From thence it is the storm of God’s quick wrath is first decried, and the bow must bear the earliest brunt. From thence it is the GodContinue reading “RKS Literature: The Pulpit as the Prow of a Whaling Ship (Herman Melville)”
RKS Literature: The Women of New Bedford and Salem (Herman Melville)
“And the women of New Bedford, they bloom like their own red roses. But roses only bloom in summer; whereas the fine carnation of their cheeks is perennial as sunlight in the seventh heavens. Elsewhere match the bloom of theirs, ye cannot, save in Salem, where they tell me the young girls breathe such musk,Continue reading “RKS Literature: The Women of New Bedford and Salem (Herman Melville)”
RKS Literature: The Gold Rush of Whaling in New Bedford (Herman Melville)
“There weekly arrive in this town scores of Green Vermonters and New Hampshire men, all athirst for gain and glory in the fishery. They are mostly young, of stalwart frames; fellows who have felled forests and now seek to drop the axe and snatch the whale-lance. Many are green as the Green Mountains whence theyContinue reading “RKS Literature: The Gold Rush of Whaling in New Bedford (Herman Melville)”
RKS ONTARIO 2026 Wine: Magnotta 2021 Toro Negro Cabernet Sauvignon: Baco Noir Suffering a Neurological Hemorrhage
Ontario Cabernet Sauvignon as a single varietal seldom works unless skillful use of oak is involved and when it is it can be quite good. This one was aged in 225 litre new French oak barriques for two years. More often you will find Ontario Cabernet Sauvignon “utilized” in a blend. So there is alwaysContinue reading “RKS ONTARIO 2026 Wine: Magnotta 2021 Toro Negro Cabernet Sauvignon: Baco Noir Suffering a Neurological Hemorrhage”
RKS 2026 EURO Film: “Mirrors No. 3”: Healing Effect of the Intersection of Miseries
Laura (Paula Beer), a very unhappy looking Laura, opens the film peering over the edge of a bridge staring at the water below. There is no pedestrian walkway on this bridge so she is where she shouldn’t be and as cars speed by with horns blaring my thought is that girl is ready to jumpContinue reading “RKS 2026 EURO Film: “Mirrors No. 3”: Healing Effect of the Intersection of Miseries”
RKS Literature: Timid Warrior Whalemen at Breakfast (Herman Melville)
“These reflections just here are occasioned by the circumstances that after we were all seated at the table, and I was preparing to hear some good stories about whaling; to my no small surprise, nearly every man maintained a profound silence. And not only that, but they looked embarrassed. Yes, here were a set ofContinue reading “RKS Literature: Timid Warrior Whalemen at Breakfast (Herman Melville)”
RKS Poetry Anthology (All We Get Are The Coffee Grinds): “The fight for”
The fight for It’s called survival Apologize Prostitute mind and body for THEM And you just might make the suburbs and that second car I hope you like kissing asses And if you don’t kick em in and rot With the rats Robert K. Stephen
Lost in Puppydom: Rory Dylan Stephen’s Puppydom: “RORY ADMITS TO SLEEPING AROUND AND IS PROUD OF IT”
RORY ADMITS TO SLEEPING AROUND AND IS PROUD OF IT I have been sleeping around and I’m proud of it! It can’t be a macho thing as some of you may be snickering about as you may recall I lost my “manhood” one month ago. Some of you should be ashamed of yourself with yourContinue reading “Lost in Puppydom: Rory Dylan Stephen’s Puppydom: “RORY ADMITS TO SLEEPING AROUND AND IS PROUD OF IT””
“Lost in Puppydom: Rory Dylan Stephen’s Puppydom”: “ARE THERE ANY DOGS IN FILM I ADMIRE, PERHAPS EVEN MYSELF!”
ARE THERE ANY DOGS IN FILM I ADMIRE, PERHAPS EVEN MYSELF! There can be no doubt Bob’s classic novel “Reggie the Egyptian Rescue Dog” adapted into two Walt Disney films of the same name is at the pinnacle of canine film perfection. I mean the film is a favorite of children and their parents throughoutContinue reading ““Lost in Puppydom: Rory Dylan Stephen’s Puppydom”: “ARE THERE ANY DOGS IN FILM I ADMIRE, PERHAPS EVEN MYSELF!””
