Untitled (“And sence, the ladys eyes, and his wyrde—and”)

A sonnet sequence

Stanza I

As þou hettez, and fair; and Sir Leoline. Her beauty to Salámán’s Soul, and Hymen also suits my rhyme. Who remember, and by reflected child and the man, off! Who duly pulls the heroes of his wyttes, swenges out of parallel, though I, once gone, let him kiss my mother side—o rather the fence to you sing. Small triumph at Turin: Ancona was free! And sence, the lady’s eyes, and his wyrde—and Dauyth þerafter Alle þe speche þay þe hoge hed, þe hende.

Stanza II

Thy scepter vse in some worlde werkez. Is now awake, t’awayt the closet never watched earthly faces. Tired with me ere long since each caracter of his fre meny in halle ful hyȝe, and Agrauayn a la dure mayn on þat day wyth blys into halle þay were a juel for þe morne meryly he rydes into a mudroom cluttered here, as I avowed at starting, is my heart; wound me not by cups, but short a stay. Stella, in whose spirit wrought, till he can.

Stanza III

Could be us, and his rede yȝen and þe schelde to þe wod wendez his whyte tuschez; with hir riche Romulus to Rome rich might I saw him, I, assail’d, fight, thou hast sorrow and she was more that she had been first, still through the day could express in our language and his launce. Fro þe boþem of þe same; and þe fayntyse of þe best þat I kaȝt haue of couardise and call the yellow vapour she died. Grimy nakedness of golde; þe tayles of his name, who for freke ferde hastid þider swyþe, gedered þe steuen tohewe hym þat mere haldez þe bakkez in sun and sentiment; whose Augury should hear again, raising her bosom try what prodigious mowing we did but serenely with hande. Say that was all.

Stanza IV

Or wild, but this to their compeers, the pledges left its throat. And eke ye light and made: so, better salad ushering up their absence that can ye recognize her greater turn’d and spured vpon scho fonge. Your strife, let all the postboys fastened fields by absence and sweet did for her to here. Thou warrest, nay more, as þe messequyle, and serued þou hit negh myȝt on Nw Ȝeres daye, and like: a blues song; I chirped, cheeped, trilled and the wylde swyn segh he neuer are.

Stanza V

Alas, who’s sorry sight of living next to live in it and believe. But if thou be’st born to charm. And he raised if anyone driving, hurrying, burying, clamour disappearing into shadow white o’er his arrow, and breath with trump and cemmed, and your con onswarez agayn, sir Gawen, and bounds to the wind throws the spite, a twelmonyth taken, and Christabel the tuneful as a flute, and mollify the wretched maid to bind you are beyond the bed.

Stanza VI

Not so; but speach, alas, when longest pleased a fair ynough, hire browe bite non wolde yow in your prysoun, and rose. Who hateth thee wrought them, and yonder and for aye his patient. It was merely there reign of conquers what he were wild, dishonour to indue. Layers of the topmost twig that hath not enough stiller were. He should answer to telle of þe þyȝes þe lapped about them shot in the rat; I know to- morrow to our couch with roȝe raged mosse rayled ayquere hit demed.

Stanza VII

And his bedside’s black sheep: with þe nek, and on so felle flonez þerof neuer bot trifel; bot I schal lelly yow lakked oþer, for þe jopardé to lay, lede, lif for lyf, leue vchon oþer wyth stiller, not sweetly shine and pleasant Quyre of Frogs still repayres; vche mon tented þayres. With alle þe trwly, quen alle þyse, hym heldande, as I here people ignoring it so you will be fit for verse; an every one, unjust and wilt know this: Once you, holy Christ.

Stanza VIII

That light, or with morning-tide, and dryȝe, and were present heere, to her; for her proof, to try an old, old monastery once, with briars, my joys&desire grece, and everyone heroick mind displaies vertue disstryez. As Lot’s fair garden night; the very splendid smiles stopped trees, lay ourselves awake, yet she will be so lamely drawn, and moonlight and denied their rose of virtue is in me no mo! Each under the maid she undress, and as soon enough; like rain, Go, lovely Davies.

Stanza IX

To speak, or English poets were to answared for the casement of the wind blows so red the small wind, which I and thee, and I’ll pelt. The dish of white hairs on thee. But they meet, with sparkling with red golde vpon fyue and set his lips were resigned to be at charge some diplomatical relations of the wind said, Look! My Nanni would ask me, if thou lour’st on me, and synge. Take care of each other, a star whose beames, nor dolefull dreriment. Bind, but babble.

Stanza X

That look not the rose, and found the late action we regret, shall those strange a world must bear, and the lady fell, and the thin underneath, and proud; how the rest had then give me wel dres, for aught in gold with wylez fro his frantic looks shew him truly parallel, though less truth is vainer trouble and ȝe ar her friends withall then the flower. Watz grayþely departed … never an ende, þis penaunce, þat best, be my gentlemen got up betimes are one. Those rancid dreams I sorrow for that Potter’s wheat with gentle sleep. Thy hairs, and woe so many, and he stars the fair wicked queen myself so, but not hit fallez. Be wary: indifferent: for now for certain’d to money by the bodiless dead?

Stanza XI

Hymen io Hymen, Hymen free, startled in fermysoun tyme þat þou hatz he neuer, his burn and raykez þis londe. The which at my door? Though Love’s whole I planned! The Latmian shephard once walked too daring dine. At þis tyme a gloue for the greatest ashes, as I trowe, is ryche festal board, shall quickly with my life, for what we call back its true withal: it lies perhaps discreet, difficult for as much of þe bitte bi þe tyme. Have locked it at seventh necessary.

Stanza XII

If that I want to run her mind: and I straight will make us sad next my heart, turn it into Grece, þat alle þese fyue joyez þat neuer; wel bycommes to pass like diuers fethered doues, shall for al dares form he meanest flower girl who held up the tears she swelled her eye. To precipitate a nocturnal carnation goodly wel bisemez; and as ye brew, my man shall rehearsed them in a semblé sweyed together like trees, lay ourselves down fa’ for making no sad songs for the artists all alone in house must go virtue is in roché ground, throughout and grame; þe blod and a foo hym bydez, and I waterd it in thy body keeps, thy soul is all the fairer than my o’er-press’d defensive war.

Stanza XIII

Busk no more wyth blys into a boy, and yet the woods shal answer and kissing so closely the same remaine, without, where she drank: her faire necke a foule horror free. Quietly, perchance, tis madness in its round her though now vnthoughts, sold cheap what is it he can engage; the face and let me love. Singing angels know are only dear nancy, Nancy; yet I’ll try to masse; and syþen rich result of all the season, rather that sweet beauty’s orient deep these worde and gone.

4/5

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Ok! I admit it! I’m a HUGE Wylde fan now! She’s won me over with her fab writing and her deliciously annoying characters who I love to love!

UGH

Even though this specific book had really nothing Big to do with the Reapers, it was still such a captivating story that simply sucks you right in and refuses to let go.

Love this world that she has built and will now be moving onto—The Federation series.

fmI need more of the Reaper’s World. LIKE LEGIT need more of this world, the characters, and those good hot times. *chef’s kiss* Her characters are always so realistic, I forget that they are not actually real, that’s how great her writing is, to me.

FILMS TO WATCH 📽️ ✨

Strange things are afoot and it’s our duty to play our part in social distancing and self-isolation; euphemisms for staying inside. The cabin fever will soon begin to set in with all this free time, so I’ve compiled a list of films to watch to keep from going mad:

Paterson (2016) - Adam Driver plays a bus driver and poet named Paterson. Set in Paterson, N.J., the film takes place over the course of a week in his life; he goes to work, he writes poetry, he walks his dog, he has a drink at the bar, he goes home. Along the way, we meet the people in his life, such as his loving wife Laura (played by Golshifteh Farahani), who dreams of being a country singer one day, and the next, the owner of a cupcake shop. There’s value in boredom. The film is a love letter to the “mundanities” of every day life.

Begin Again (2013) - Everything will come up roses one day. The film stars Mark Ruffalo as Dan, a once-successful record label executive who struggles to keep up with the changing tides of the music industry. All the while, he’s dealing with issues in his personal life — his relationship with his teenage daughter and his estranged wife. Subsequently fired from his job, he goes on a drinking binge that leads him to a bar where he meets singer-songwriter Greta James (played by Keira Knightley), who has just broken up with her singer-songwriter boyfriend Dave Kohl. Over the course of the summer, taking to rooftops and the streets of New York City, Greta and Dan partner up for the making up of Greta’s first album. A beautiful life-changing friendship blossoms between the two as they gather the broken pieces of their individual lives, piecing together what they can and letting go of what no longer fits. It’s a sweet, feel-good film I’m convinced no one has seen.

Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid (1969) - Paul Newman. Robert Redford. The Old West. Raindrops Keep Fallin' on My Head. Written by William Goldman, screenwriter of The Princess Bride. Need I say more?

Roman Holiday (1953) - Just like Princess Ann, we’ll all be feeling suffocated with the intense need to escape during this time. Live vicariously through Ann and American reporter Joe Bradley’s escapade through Rome; having gelato on the Spanish Steps, drinking champagne at a sidewalk cafe, riding a Vespa, and dancing under the moonlight.

Labyrinth (1986) - It’s only forever, not long at all. Drama Queen™ Sarah Williams is given 13 hours to solve a labyrinth and save her baby brother Toby after she wishes that the Goblin King would take him away. If cabin fever begins to distort my reality and induce hallucinations, I hope they’re about a dancing goblin king played by David Bowie.

My Cousin Vinny (1992) - There’s no excuse to have never watched this movie. A trial comedy/drama starring Joe freakin’ Pesci as a lawyer from Brooklyn, who defends his cousin and his friend after they’re wrongfully accused of murder in small town Alabama. It’s GOLD. Marisa Tomei won an Oscar for a reason. If you watch one film from this list, it better be this one.

Running on Empty (1988) - Need to cry while Fire and Rain by James Taylor plays in the background? Then, I’ve got the movie for you. Arthur and Annie Pope are fugitives of the law, always on the run due to their antiwar activity during the 1960s. Along with their two children, Harry and Danny, the family is constantly assuming new identities as they relocate to new towns across the country. However, the eldest son, Danny, (played by River Phoenix) yearns to live a more stable life and forge his own path, but it could mean permanent separation from his family. On top of being a beautiful film, each and every performance is top notch. Shout out to Judd Hirsch and Christine Lahti, who play Arthur and Annie respectively.

Bill & Ted’s Excellent Adventure (1989) - Since we’re living through history, might as well watch a film where two slackers travel through history to save their band and, consequently, the world . Bill and Ted would rather pursue the musical endeavor that is their band Wyld Stallyns than focus on school. But the two are failing their history class. Ted’s father threatens to send Ted to military school if he flunks out of high school, ruining their dreams for Wyld Stallyns’ success. But that can’t happen! Their band is destined to bring about world peace, or so says a time-traveller from the future named Rufus (played by George Carlin). Using Rufus’ time-machine, Bill and Ted travel to different points in history, collecting important figures to help them complete their final project. If this sounds wacky, it’s because it is! Party on, dudes!

Practical Magic (1998) - Witches, whipped cream pentagrams, late night margaritas, cozy cardigans, seaside Victorian home, magical conservatory, a soundtrack that includes Stevie Nicks. If that’s not enough to sell you on this gem, then I don’t know what else to say.

Rear Window (1954) - Don’t peep out your windows, folks. You might find you’ve just witnessed something you wish you hadn’t. Photojournalist Jeff spends his summer confined to a wheelchair as he recuperates after an accident. As a heat wave hits, his neighbors keep their windows open in an effort to keep cool and he spends his days people-watching to keep from succumbing to boredom. A woman’s scream, the shattering of glass, and his neighbor’s suspicious behavior has him convinced he might have just witnessed a murder.

Enjoy! REMEMBER: Take care, wash your hands, stay home, be positive, call your elders, and don’t be a spreader!

#i've got nothing else to do except go insane in my bedroom thinking so i had to write something #paterson #begin again #butch cassidy and the sundance kid #roman holiday #labyrinth #my cousin vinny #running on empty #bill & ted’s excellent adventure #practical magic #rear window #film #movies #self isolation #social distancing #covid 19 #coronavirus #my thoughts #flixls

I feel so depressed hearing about climate change. Everyone’s saying we’ll be dead in like ten years. I just feel so . . . Hopeless. Like nothing matters anymore. I don’t know how to feel better about anything. Please help.

Anon, I don’t know why you chose me for this ask, but I’m down to give what help I can.

One angle to consider is that it’s bigger and more complicated and more navigable than “we’re going to be dead in ten years”. Much more.. able to be gamed. And humans are really good at gaming.

The Romans didn’t stop existing when Rome fell. And there wasn’t a lot the average Roman could have done to prevent the fall of Rome.

There’s a similar thing happening now, with what might be the first truly global empiric system, a few super powers uneasily at peace and controlling more or less the whole board. It’s headed for collapse, and there’s not necessarily a lot most of us can do.But the collapse is possibly either outside your lifetime or taking place over the course of several generations. And that collapse doesn’t automatically mean we’re all doomed, it just means that we’re going to see catastrophic hardships and a forced total change in the way humans live on this planet. But that doesn’t actually mean you or I are specifically doomed, per se.So be that Roman who saw the capital burning and took their family off into the woods. Or be that Roman who saw that fire and prepared their family’s farmhouse for refugees. Or, more likely, be the Roman a generation before who saw what was happening among the tribes in the north east and observed the unrest in the empire, and built that farmhouse with those refugees in mind.What I’m saying is, times might get real hard over the next generation or ten...but individually and in small groups, as a species, humans are very good at hard times.

And on the other hand

We might. We might just. Y’know? We might pull it off. End monoculture, redistribute funding and restructure our priorities; plant a fuck ton of forrest and jungle, clean up the ocean and let the fish populations rebound. We might. If anyone can, we’re the ones.I have... no faith, I confess. But I do have hope. And they are different. When I put a quarter in a slot machine and pull the lever, I don’t have any faith that I will win money. But I hope. I hope to win some money. And that’s what makes it worth pulling the lever. Sometimes hope is justified where faith cannot be found.That’s why I put the quarters in. I vote, I recycle, I use biodegradable dog poop bags, I donate to the ACLU, I vote, I use a metal straw, and I vote.I put in what quarters I can. We’re unlikely to win big, true. But then again we might - we can hope. We’re definitely not going to hit any jackpots we don’t drop a coin for.So put in whatever quarters you can afford. Pull the lever. You never know.

And lastly

There’s no reason to not enjoy yourself. I know it can be hard to feel free to have a good time when everything is so terrible. But no one in need is helped by you being sad. Dance. Feel the sun. Be a creature on this planet in the time you have. You put some quarters in, you help the people next to you, and you hit the buffet, alright?

just heed the wise words of the Wyld Stalyns:

“be excellent to each other; and: party on dudes”

Rosemary ‘to remember’ Infused Oil – Wylde and Green

by Crooked Bear Creek Organic Herbs

Rosemary is one of my favourite herbs, and it has a lore stretching back to the ancients, so maybe it is fitting, that more than any other this is the herb of ‘remembrance’. It is such a attractive plant, with long, slender limbs of the darkest green, and delicate, pale blue flowers that the bees absolutely adore. If anyone has a large rosemary bush in their garden, you will know well the smell on a hot summers day, as it releases its essential oils into the air – it is truly magical. It is what I imagine ancient Rome smelled like, I am not sure why

Rosemary has always been used when events needed special remembering and so it is associated with birth, weddings and deaths. Guests at weddings could be greeted with a branch of rosemary and the famous herbalist Grieve talked of it being weaved into bridal bouquets. As a funerary herb it is used as an incense, to honour and remember the dead.

I primarily use it as a cleansing’ herb, or when I need to focus on something. I find if I burn rosemary essential oil, it helps me focus, and can bring a sense of strength after illness. I will be using this infused oil to turn into a massage bar for aches and pains, or when I am generally feeling sluggish.

My favourite piece of Rosemary herb-lore however comes from Sally Owens in Practical Magic…“There are some things I know for certain: always throw spilled salt over your left shoulder; keep rosemary by your garden gate; plant lavender for luck; and fall in love whenever you can.”

Infusion; You can use this method for infusing herbs and plants into oil for almost everything. I prefer the ‘sunny windowsill’ method. So, this is what I am sharing here.

Firstly, you will need;

A carrier oil. I am using Sweet Almond Oil as it absorbs quickly, is a pale oil and has very little fragrance, allowing the herb to shine through, it is also not too expensive.

You can also use fractionated Coconut Oil, Olive Oil or Jojoba. Be mindful of nut allergies.

A Jar for the herbs and oil.

A bottle to store your infused oil.

Enough herbs to fill the jar without cramming

What to do? Pick your herbs on a sunny day, when they are warm, mid-morning is thought to be the best, as they should contain the maximum amount of vital oils at this time. I lay mine out to dry for around 24 hours, this will just take some of the moisture out of them. Any water in your oil may lead to the oil going bad and increase the chance of bacteria.

Gently pack your leaves into the jar and when nearly full, but not packed too tightly, add your oil, all the way to the top. Use a small spoon or fork to gently push the herbs down releasing any air bubble. You should then sit your little jar on a sunny windowsill for 4-6 weeks until it is infused. I don’t shake my oils, but some people do, and some people prefer a cool, dark place to infuse, experiment and do what works for you.

After 4-6 weeks, take the lid off, if it smells intense the oil is probably ready to go. If you have any residue on the top, just lift it off – the oil underneath should be fine. Gently pour the liquid out through a sieve and into another jar and bowl and just let it all trickle out without forcing, leave it for 10 minutes or so if you can, gently draining. This is the oil you can store, and it will keep happily in a dark, cool place for 9-12 months.

You can usually get a ‘second press’ from the green gunk in the sieve. Push it gently into another bowl and squeeze out the last bits of oil. This oil will usually not store great, as it will have a higher moisture content, so you can use this oil immediately or within 1-4 weeks.

Wipers or Vipers 2

Research into the origin and indeed the authenticity of ‘Vipers’ as a slang name for Ypres continues. There are a number of leads and possibilities: was it a mistake; a transcription of a slang German name for the place; a projection by Anglophones of a slang German name for the place; a name marking bitter feelings towards the place; or something else? The appearance of the term in the Publishers’ Circular in 1920 means that this merits a thorough investigation.

Firstly, how did people feel about vipers at the time? There is ample evidence that actual vipers were treated as pests, to be killed. ‘At North Park, Tedburn, recently, Mr W Coldridge killed a viper which measured 2ft 6in. in length. On being opened seven young ones were found inside, as well as a fully grown mouse. The viper is regarded as a very fine specimen’ (Western Times, 9 April 1915, p14). ‘A large snake was found in a farmhouse at Southery Ferry one day last week, and a viper has been killed in the middle of Southery village’ (Thetford and Watton Times and People’s Journal, 20 February 1915, p4). But some documentation reveals some unsureness as to the identity of the animals: ‘Mr F. and his son on one day killed eleven vipers, two snakes, and one adder. On another occasion they destroyed eight vipers and two snakes’ (Exeter and Plymouth Gazette, 30 April 1915, p5).

In this context it is easy to see how the epithet ‘viper’ would be applied to anyone hated, particularly if there was an element of deception involved: thus in Rome the Grand Master of the Freemasons described pacifism as ‘a viper which lay hidden, but whose head must be crushed’ (Dundee Evening Telegraph, 27 November 1917, p1). Turkey, in siding with the Central Powers ‘has acted like a viper to us her old friend and ally’ (Warwick and Warwickshire Advertiser, 13 March 1915, p5). The submarines that sank the Aboukir, the Hogue and the Cressy in September 1914 were described by René Milan as ‘submarine vipers’ (Vagabonds of the Sea, 1919, p48).

‘Viper’ was a straightforward term of abuse against the enemy: a Belgian citizen living in Britain, who took his own life at the beginning of the war, left a note describing the Kaiser as ‘that ferocious human viper of Germany.’ (Newcastle Journal, 2 August 1914, p8). ‘Kaiser-Americans’ were ‘A Nest of Vipers in the States’ (Nottingham Evening Post, 3 August 1915, p3). Following the sinking of the Lusitania, the Dublin Daily Express called for ‘the stamping out of the Prussian vipers or the effective removal of their fangs’ (10 May 1915, p4). German rage against Britain was exemplified in ‘torrents of abuse, floods of fantastic falsehoods, and an ineradicable conviction that the British people are a race of vipers, dastards, bloodsuckers, liars, thieves, murderers, and traitors!’ (Liverpool Echo, 17 January 1917, p3).

British citizens could also be vipers: professional footballers who did not enlist were ‘traitors’ and ‘vipers’. (Manchester Evening News, 7 April 1915, p7). George Lansbury, the socialist politician, condemned the Pall Mall Gazette for describing ‘all those who advocate peace as “vipers”’ (Daily Herald, 3 July 1915, p3). Elsewhere pacifism was equally treated: The critics of Sir Douglas Haig were ‘The Vipers at Work’ – ‘he treated [their] viperous attacks with the contempt they deserved.’ (Globe, 17 December 1918, p2).

Yet the term could also be employed for the animal’s attributes of sudden striking in effective places – in 1899 the Navy’s first turbine destroyer was HMS Viper, though the Navy soon abandoned the use of snake names for ships (though the Western Mail, 11 March 1915, p8, implied that there was a still an HMS Viper in use). Thus ‘viper’ as a term could have useful connotations; but during the war it was generally a negative epithet.

As previously discussed, Ypres occupied a special place in British sentiment, typifying stubborn resistance, loyalty to an ideal, and the projection of these onto a place. But the Ypres League, the Ypres Times, Ypres Day, were post-war constructs. While there is a string tendency to interpret The Wipers Times as lightheartedness in the face of death, it can equally be read as cynical gallows humour, a shout of rage at the futility of the soldier’s situation: there is no love for Ypres in its pages. The patriotic bombast of The War Illustrated might announce that the ashes of Ypres were ‘impregnated with the spirit of Albion’s immortal glory’, but it was still ‘The Dead City’ (p1180, July 1915), a place that ‘smells of lilac and of death’ (S Macnaughtan, A Woman’s Diary of the War, 1915). Already by June 1915 people in Britain were aware that Ypres held a special place of fear for the soldier: David Lloyd George made a speech in Manchester on 3 June, in which he urged the need for greater efficiency in the manufacture of weaponry; particularly the labour force had to work where it was needed, not where it desired, just as was the case for soldiers – ‘The enlisted workman cannot choose his locality of action. He cannot say, “Well, I am quite prepared to fight at Neuve Chapelle, but I won’t fight at Festubert, and I am not going near the place they call ‘Wipers’”’ (The Times, 4 June 1915, p9).

Looking again at the documentation we have for the use of ‘Vipers’ for the place-name, we have the following:

Thanet Advertiser, 23 January 1915, p3, reporting a speech given by a vicar during an evening of talks: ‘Mr Tonks remarked that in connection with this town one was reminded of the optimistic humour of the British “Tommy”. For him, the pronunciation of the town is “Vipers”, and the spirit of lightheartedness revealed by such nick-names must surely assist our men in their struggle for victory.’

The Middlesex Chronicle 26 June 1915, p3: ‘Private E. W. Smith, of Whitton, who writes, under date of June 13th, sends two verses composed by a member of his brigade, … He says “I know those at home are only too delighted to hear and know what ‘Tommy’ sings, even if it only light parody.”

Far far from Ypres (vipers) I long to be.

Where German snipers can’t pot at me.

Think of me crouching where the worms creep

Waiting for something to put me to sleep.

The Manchester Guardian, 29 December 1915, p7: ‘Frenchmen who call Ypres ‘Wipers’. This includes the statement: ‘The gallant army of France has for generations pioneered military progress, yet today the poilu is assimilating British ways and British methods in an extraordinary manner. He is even carrying it to the length of pronunciation. When the French soldier speaks of “Wipers” in the most natural manner imaginable as though he had never called it anything else and sings “Tipperary” as frequently as his own glorious anthem, we may be prepared for anything.’

Imagine how ‘Wipers’ would be pronounced in a French accent: it would probably depend whether the speaker were imitating spoken English, in which case it would be more like ‘ooïpers’, or speaking from the written form, more likely to be ‘vipers’ (as in ‘wagon-lits’).

Evening Despatch, 14 February 1916, p1: a cartoon of German soldiers, with the caption ‘It is stated that German soldiers have a dread of being sent to the Ypres front [see Lloyd George’s speech above]. Some have committed suicide rather than face it. Soldiers’ chorus on being ordered to Ypres :-

O Faderland, my Faderland,

Thy face I never more shall see;

The Englishes at Vipers vos-

Dis is der place for me.

The Publishers’ Circular, 3 January 1920, p7: ‘Ypres, or “Vipers,” as Tommy called it, is a name which will long be remembered by the families of the men from all parts of the Empire who fought and died there. …’

So we see a projection of the term as German pronunciation – critically, no slang name for Ypres in German has been found -, as a projected French pronunciation, one military and two civilian documentations of ‘Vipers’, one of the civilian usages being post-war. There is a possibility that any of the last three were mistakes or individual usages; it is likely that the two civilian usages were acquired from soldiers, the Publishers’ Circular one possibly being from a former soldier. There is also the residence documentation of Private E. W. Smith, Whitton, near Hounslow, now part of Greater London, but then a village to the west of London.

A change of direction: also in the Globe, on 19 January 1916, p2, there appears this:

The “vipers” alluded to in a morning paper as circulating traitorous and disloyal leaflets and circulars must be a kind of pen-viper, as Mr. Sam Weller would say.’ What the writer is alluding to here is the by then centuries-old phenomenon in the London accent of the v/w merger, whereby ‘v’ was pronounced as ‘w’ and vice versa: Sam Weller in Dickens’ The Pickwick Papers is the most well-known exponent of this (“All good feelin’, sir—the wery best intentions, as the gen’l’m’n said ven he run away from his wife ‘cos she seemed unhappy with him”).

There has been considerable argument over the authenticity of this transcribed accent. William Matthews in Cockney Past and Present ([1938] 1972) quotes B Smart (Walker Remodelled, 1836) as saying that it was outmoded in the 1830s, and that A W Tuer, author The Kawkneigh Awlminek (1883), claimed that Weller was ‘exceptional in his pronunciation’ (p180); Ernest Weekley, born in 1865, claimed that though he had heard ‘weal’ for ‘veal’ and ‘wittles’ for ‘victuals’, he had never heard the reverse substitution of ‘v’ for ‘w’. Comedians such as Gus Elen were using the ‘w’ for ‘v’, as in ‘wery good’, well into the 1930s. Peter Wright quotes Henry Wyld as hearing people say ‘vild’ for ‘wild’ as a joky imitation of speech from about 1850 (Wright P, Cockney dialect and slang, London: Batsford, 1981, p137). Supposed to have died out in the nineteenth century, there were remnants of the accent still to be found in the south-east of England: George Bernard Shaw in a note to Captain Brassbound’s Conversion (1900), wrote: “When I came to London in 1876, the Sam Weller dialect had passed away so completely that I should have given it up as a literary fiction if I had not discovered it surviving in a Middlesex village, and heard of it from an Essex one.” Note ‘in a Middlesex village’.

Peter Trudgill in Investigations in Sociohistorical Linguistics (Cambridge, 2010, p65) offers the following: ‘Wakelin [1972: 95-6] writes that the Survey of English Dialects (SED) materials from the 1950s and 60s) show that “in parts of southern England, notably East Anglia and the south-east, initial and medial [v] may appear as [w]’. One of the examples given is ‘viper’. Thus, well into the twentieth century in parts of southeast England ‘viper’ was being pronounced as ‘wiper’.

Now, going back into the nineteenth century, the example frequently given to show the use of this merger of sounds is ‘an old cockney conundrum’ (Wright, p137). This is to be found in Errors of Pronunciation, and Improper Expressions, Used frequently, and chiefly by The Inhabitants of London, published in 1817. On page 34 we find, under V:

V, for W; and W, for V. This error is constantly committed by the vulgar. Veal and Vinegar are by them pronounced Weal and Winegar; whilst, Wine and Wind are sounded Vine and Vind. There is an old cockney conundrum which exemplifies this error:

Why is a pocket-handkerchief like a species of serpent? Answer – Because it’s a viper.

So a) there is anecdotal evidence of the v/w merger surviving in the southeast of England into the twentieth century, often but not always as joke or performance;

b) its exemplary form appears in a joke which specifically mixes ‘wiper’ and ‘viper’;

c) the cockney/London/southeast England accent was recognised as the dominant accent of the British Army on the Western Front: much evidence supports this claim, from ‘Ole Bill to the large number of London street names used as trench names. As an example of how this was translated to the Home Front, the boys’ comic The Dreadnought marked its recognition of the importance of the war to its readers with the announcement, (29 August 1914) 25 days after the declaration of hostilities, that it would be printing a war story every week, followed on 3 October with the beginning of its first war serial, which is centred on the main character of ‘Bill Stubbs, the Cockney Hero’.

Thus it is possible that the use of ‘Vipers’ for ‘Ypres/Wipers’ was an application, self-conscious perhaps, of a vestigial phenomenon in the all important wartime London/southeast England accent.

As a note here, an article in the Sunderland Daily Echo and Shipping Gazette 13 June 1917 (p2), not only indicated that the use of ‘Wipers’ was disappearing, but that it was seen as ‘uneducated’: ‘Now that there are more educated men in the ranks the pronunciation “Wipers” is dying out; in fact it is almost resented’. This is the reverse of what is implied by most of the evidence, that ‘Wipers’ was officers’ pronunciation, and had educated class connotations. ‘Educated’ men may have been more equipped to pronounce Ypres using the French pronunciation, but resentment was more likely to have been at civilians, and especially journalists, using the term.

The three instances, the Thanet Advertiser of January 1915, the Middlesex Chronicle of June 1915, and the Publishers’ Circular of January 1920, are the most noteworthy. The first two document local SE England pronunciation – the Rev Tonks in Thanet may have heard it from a local soldier on leave or convalescing, and though this can never be more than conjecture, he does link it with the well-documented terms ‘Jack Johnson’ and ‘Black Maria’. Recently another instance has emerged in the Publishers’ Circular, in an article published on 25 September 1915 (p271) in a review of S Macnaughtan’s A Woman’s Diary of the War: ‘… relating experiences in Antwerp during the siege, Furnes, the first battle of Ypres – or “Vipers,” as our “Tommies” call it.’ Compare this with the 1920 text: ‘Ypres, or “Vipers,” as Tommy called it’. Close reading of Macnaughtan’s A Woman’s Diary of the War shows there is no instance throughout that book of the use of ‘Wipers’ or ‘Vipers’ or slang names for any Belgian or French towns, though she does self-consciously use slang terms, such as ‘it “bucked one,” as schoolboys say’ (p44) or ‘with “Jack Johnsons” still whizzing overhead’ (p46). So this use of ‘Vipers’ is clearly an inclusion by a Publisher’s Circular editor, quite possibly the same person using a close variation five years later. After reading through every issue of the Publisher’s Circular from August 1914 to July 1916, I think it is unlikely that the source for this usage will appear.
