"Shifting Tides" - Chapter 10 (AO3)

Fandom: Ripper Street

Characters: Susan Hart, Rose Erskine, Emily Reid, Deborah Goren, Bella Culver

Rating: T

“Is it true?” she asked then. She had not bothered asking before as she never indulged too much in rumors, neither cared about any that did not involve her. And she had no intention of talking with Mrs. Reid about it either, but if one wanted to avoid a certain topic of conversation, it would be good to know as many details about it as possible. “Yes,” Jackson replied plainly, aware what she was talking about. “All of it?” Susan continued asking. “I don’t know,” Jackson told her. “I asked Reid but you know how he is. After I annoyed him long enough, he finally admitted to it but not more. And it’s not really any of my business either way.”

Your Mother is always with you. She’s the whisper of the leaves as you walk down the street, she’s the smell of certain foods you remember, flowers you pick, the fragrance of life itself. She’s the cool hand on your brow when you’re not feeling well, she’s your breath in the air on a cold winter’s day. She is the sound of the rain that lulls you to sleep, the colors of a rainbow. Your mother lives inside your laughter. She’s the place you came from, your first home, and she’s the map you follow with every step you take. She’s your first love, your first friend, even your first enemy, but nothing on earth can separate you. Not time, not space, not even death.

Perfect Strangers (Vacation from Marriage) (1945) Alexander Korda

Bonjour Tristesse

1958. Drama

By Otto Preminger

Country: United Kingdom, United States

Language: English

Anton Walbrook, Roger Livesey, and Deborah Kerr in The Life and Death of Colonel Blimp (Michael Powell, Emeric Pressburger, 1943) Cast: Roger Livesey, Anton Walbrook, Deborah Kerr, James McKechnie, Roland Culver, Ursula Jeans, Valentine Dyall. Screenplay: Michael Powell, Emeric Pressburger. Cinematography: Georges Périnal. Production design: Alfred Junge. Film editing: John Seabourne Sr. Music: Allan Gray. 

Why does Casablanca (Michael Curtiz, 1943) feel timeless when The Life and Death of Colonel Blimp, a film from the same year, seems so dated? Is this just the American in me, forced to dredge up knowledge of British history that might be more ingrained in a Brit? (Though I really doubt that most Brits today are familiar with David Low's political cartoons from the 1930s and '40s that featured Colonel Blimp, a corpulent old walrus of a Tory, who satirized British complacency and jingoism.) Or is it that the Powell-Pressburger film is more detailed and searching, more engaged with what it means for a country to go to war, than the Warner Bros. romance, which is "still the same old story," cast in a wartime mode, so that we respond more immediately and viscerally to it? This is a handsome movie, with beautiful Technicolor and some engaging performances, but it takes work to appreciate its story, whereas you can just let Casablanca wash over you.

Your Mother Is Always With You-Deborah R Culver- Alexander Zingman

Alexander Zingman

Your Mother Is Always With You

She's the whisper of the leaves as you walk down the street.

She's the smell of certain foods you remember, flowers you pick, the fragrance of life itself.

She's the cool hand on your brow when you're not feeling well.

She's your breath in the air on a cold winters' day.

She is the sound of the rain that lulls you to sleep, the colors of a rainbow.

She is Christmas morning.

Your mother lives inside your laughter.

She's the place you come from, your first home.

She's the map you follow with every step you take.

She's your first love, your first friend, even your first enemy.

But nothing on Earth can separate you.

Not time.

Not space.

Not even death.

“Your Mother is always with you. She’s the whisper of the leaves as you walk down the street, she’s the smell of certain foods you remember, flowers you pick, the fragrance of life itself. She’s the cool hand on your brow when you’re not feeling well, she’s your breath in the air on a cold winter’s day. She is the sound of the rain that lulls you to sleep, the colors of a rainbow. Your mother lives inside your laughter. She’s the place you came from, your first home, and she’s the map you follow with every step you take. She’s your first love, your first friend, even your first enemy, but nothing on earth can separate you. Not time, not space, not even death.”  ~ Deborah R Culver
