“ Era il giardino più bello e più misterioso che si potesse immaginare. Le alte mura che lo circondavano erano coperte da rami spogli di rose rampicanti, talmente fitti da essere tutti intrecciati. Mary Lennox sapeva che si trattava di rose: in India ne aveva viste moltissime. Il terreno era ricoperto di erba, resa scura dal freddo invernale, dalla quale spuntavano cespugli che erano certamente di rose, se ancora in vita. Numerosi rosai avevano allargato il loro rami al punto che sembravano alberelli. Nel giardino c’erano altri alberi, ma una delle cose più strane e più affascianti era che le rose rampicanti vi si erano attaccate con lunghi viticci, formando intrecci ondeggianti fra un albero e l’altro, quasi come bellissimi ponti sospesi nell’aria. Quei cespugli non avevano né foglie né rose e Mary non sapeva se fossero morti o vivi. I loro rami grigi e bruni sembravano un manto che ricopriva tutto, i muri, gli alberi e persino l’erba, dando un’aria misteriosa al giardino. Mary aveva immaginato che dovesse essere un giardino differente da quelli che non erano stati abbandonati a se stessi così a lungo, infatti era diverso da qualunque altro avesse visto in vita sua.” Frances Hodgson Burnett ************************** “ It was the most beautiful and most mysterious garden you could imagine. The high walls that surrounded it were covered with bare branches of climbing roses, so thick that they were all intertwined. Mary Lennox knew that they were roses: she had seen many of them in India. The ground was covered with grass, darkened by the winter cold, from which rose bushes that were certainly roses, if still alive. Numerous rose bushes had spread their branches to the point that they looked like small trees. There were other trees in the garden, but one of the strangest and most fascinating things was that the climbing roses had attached themselves to them with long tendrils, forming waving entanglements between one tree and another, almost like beautiful bridges suspended in the air. Those bushes had neither leaves nor roses and Mary didn't know if they were dead or alive. Their gray and brown branches seemed like a blanket that covered everything, the walls, the trees and even the grass, giving a mysterious air to the garden. Mary had imagined that it must be a different garden from those that had not been left to their own devices for so long, in fact it was unlike any other she had seen in her lifetime." Frances Hodgson Burnett

Top 5 Bob Dylan myths, explained
youtube
TULSA — Has Bob Dylan ever stepped foot inside the Bob Dylan Center?
Tumblr media
“No, he hasn’t. And we don’t expect he ever will,” a staff member replied in a quick, measured manner that implied she’d heard your question a thousand times before.
It’s hardly a surprise that Dylan hasn’t visited his own museum.
After all, he didn’t acknowledge winning the 2016 Nobel Prize for Literature for several weeks and blew off the annual Nobel ceremony in Sweden.
youtube
Ever since singing the phrase “don’t look back” in 1965, Dylan has mostly refused to examine his hallowed place in music and culture.
The singer — who’s still touring and recording at age 83 — had almost no involvement in the center other than selling his vast archives to the Tulsa-based George Kaiser Family Foundation, which opened the 30,000-square-foot museum in 2022 next door to its other project, the Woody Guthrie Center.
But even if the elusive artist won’t take part in a remembrance of things past, millions of fans are doing just that.
Not just in Tulsa, where a steady stream of visitors pored over hundreds of interactive displays about his career on a cold gray weekday in late November.
The main event takes place in movie theaters nationwide on Christmas Day with the opening of A Complete Unknown, the aptly titled biopic starring Timothée Chalamet as the young, curly-haired Dylan.
Directed by James Mangold, who also oversaw the Johnny Cash story Walk the Line, the film takes a mostly factual look at Dylan’s uneasy rise to fame from ’61 to ’65.
But according to news reports, the singer instructed filmmakers to include at least one scene that is totally fictional.
That’s par for the course with Dylan, who fabricated stories about being a carnival worker and a male prostitute before he was discovered in Greenwich Village folk clubs.
He also blurred reality in the 2019 pseudo-documentary Rolling Thunder Revue: A Bob Dylan Story by Martin Scorsese.
“That came from Bob. He loves to mix fact and fiction,” T Bone Burnett, Dylan’s longtime friend, told The Dallas Morning News in October.
So who is the real Bob Dylan?
youtube
Your guess is as good as anyone’s.
To help Dylan neophytes unwrap the enigma, here’s a look at five common myths.
Spokesman of his generation
After writing topical masterpieces like “The Times They Are A-Changin’” and “Blowin’ in the Wind,” Dylan was hailed as the mouthpiece for the anti-war and civil rights movements and a half dozen other causes.
“And here he is: Take him, you know him, he’s yours,” singer Ronnie Gilbert said, introducing him at 1964′s Newport Folk Festival.
There was just one problem.
You can’t be a spokesman if you refuse to speak.
Within months of being called the new prophet of social progress, Dylan stopped writing political songs, ceased giving interviews and publicly disavowed his role as “the prince of protest,” as he later dubbed it with a sneer.
In a Dylan Center exhibit on 1965 — the year he went electric and alienated folk purists — a concert review quotes him as telling fans:
“I’m sick of people asking ‘What does it mean?” It means nothing.’”
Years later, he said hearing the word “spokesman” made him physically ill.
Just a Guthrie clone
Some critics slammed Dylan for mimicking Woody Guthrie on his first few albums.
Yet for all his Guthrie-isms (the voice, the lyrics, the Greek fisherman’s cap), he was far from a Guthrie clone.
Tumblr media
He was more of an equal-opportunity sponge.
He borrowed melodies from countless old country, folk and gospel songs — sometimes credited, sometimes not.
Most of all, he borrowed heavily from the blues.
He filled his ’62 debut album Bob Dylan with a half dozen blues songs, including “See That My Grave Is Kept Clean” by Dallas legend Blind Lemon Jefferson.
youtube
Mississippi bluesman Robert Johnson — who recorded half of all his songs at 508 Park Ave. in Dallas — was another huge influence.
“From the first note, the vibrations from the loudspeaker made my hair stand up,” Dylan wrote about hearing Johnson’s music in Chronicles: Volume One, his impressionistic 2004 memoir.
Tumblr media
“The stabbing sounds from the guitar could almost break a window. When Johnson started singing, he seemed like a guy who could have sprung from the head of Zeus in full armor.”
His peers love him
Most of them do.
But the love is far from universal.
Judy Collins, who met him in ’59 when he was still Robert Zimmerman, practically tripped over her tongue describing him to The News earlier this year:
“He was a magical chisel into the preconceived idea of what this country was all about.”
He gets a mixed review from onetime girlfriend Joan Baez.
She’s depicted in A Complete Unknown calling him “kind of an a--hole.”
Yet she was fairly glowing when The News asked her about him in 2019.
“I mean, he’s a genius,” Baez said.
“He gave us the best songs we’ve ever had.”
And then there’s Joni Mitchell.
Though the two were friendly in the ‘70s, she lashed out at him in a 2010 Los Angeles Times interview:
“Bob is not authentic at all. He’s a plagiarist, and his name and voice are fake. Everything about Bob is a deception.”
Refuses to sell out
Everyone knows Dylan marches to his own beat.
But what’s often forgotten is that he isn’t above making a quick buck.
Tumblr media
At the Bob Dylan Center, you can buy his Heaven’s Door whiskey, supposedly “co-created” by the singer and named after his 1973 song “Knockin’ on Heaven’s Door.”
youtube
In 2004, he appeared in a Victoria’s Secret TV ad, brooding and flashing his glimmering blue eyes like a fashion model.
And in 1996, he licensed “The Times They Are A-Changin’” for use in a Bank of Montreal ad campaign.
As he put it so well on Bringing It All Back Home, “Money doesn’t talk, it swears.”
You gotta see him in concert
Some musicians really need to be witnessed in the flesh for you to fully appreciate them.
Dylan?
Not so much.
In the 13 concerts I’ve seen, he’s been brilliant a few times, unveiling bold new arrangements of old songs and singing with soulful urgency.
More often than not, a Dylan show is an exercise in frustration, especially for newcomers.
Performing in April at the Music Hall at Fair Park, he stayed hidden in the shadows behind a keyboard, barely acknowledged the audience and skipped all his best-known songs in favor of tunes from his 2020 album Rough and Rowdy Ways.
Tumblr media
Some die-hard fans loved the show. But most of the audience simply seemed puzzled — which is precisely how Dylan wants it.
Did Bob Dylan Invent Bootcut Jeans?
This holiday season, if you find yourself parked in a theater seat to witness Timothée Chalamet embody an early-1960s Bob Dylan in the upcoming biopic A Complete Unknown, keep an eye out for the changing hems of Dylan’s blue jeans.
Tumblr media
Indeed, while the new James Mangold-directed film follows a four-year period in Dylan’s career, from his 1961 arrival in Manhattan’s Greenwich Village to his “going electric” at the 1965 Newport Folk Festival, it also traces the musician’s shifting self-presentation—most notably through his changing hairstyles, but also his denim.
When Dylan lands in New York City with little more than a snap-buttoned cap, an acoustic guitar, and a dream of meeting Woody Guthrie, he wears a farmer-ish pair of late-’50s Levi’s 501s; by the time he plugs in his amp at Newport, he’s rocking a leather jacket and ultra-skinny jeans.
“I realized that the onus would really be on costume and hair to help guide the audience through this visual growth of this 19-year-old kid to a 24-year-old man,” says costume designer Arianne Phillips, who previously earned Oscar nominations for her work on Mangold’s 2005 Johnny Cash biopic Walk the Line, as well as Quintin Tarantino’s 2019 mid-century epic Once Upon a Time… in Hollywood.
“I was really looking for threads of continuity in Bob’s character and his taste level,” Phillips says, “and one thing I can say for sure in that excavation was denim. Bob has always worn jeans.”
During pre-production, Phillips connected with Paul O’Neill, the design director of Levi’s Vintage Clothing, the brand’s sublabel that recreates and reimagines archival designs.
Back in 2019, O’Neill and his team developed a capsule collection based on the Greenwich Village folk scene of the early 1960s called “Folk City,” and he’d already done a good deal of research into the wardrobes of Dylan, Karen Dalton, and Joan Baez (who also features in A Complete Unknown, as portrayed by Monica Barbaro).
youtube
While reading A Freewheelin’ Time—a memoir by Dylan’s then-girlfriend Suze Rotolo, a version of whom appears in the film as Elle Fanning’s Sylvie Russo—O’Neill uncovered a great sartorial tidbit:
Tumblr media
In the mid-1960s, Rotolo used to sew inverted-U-shaped panels into the inseams of Dylan’s 501s, widening the hems so that he could more easily wear the pants over boots. In other words, Rotolo was DIY-ing bootcut jeans years before Levi’s started manufacturing them in 1969.
“I can remember me and my colleague high-fiving each other when we found that out,” says O’Neill.
“Arianne said they had Dylan experts consulting on the film, and none of them had even heard about this before or seen it.”
Bob Dylan in 1964.
It was a lucky nugget for the costume team, one that not only explains one of the musician’s style idiosyncrasies but also adds narrative depth to Dylan and Rotolo’s dynamic.
Tumblr media
(The real-life Rotolo also appeared on the cover of Dylan’s 1963 album, The Freewheelin’ Bob Dylan; for that photoshoot, Dylan himself wore a pair of 501s.)
Once O’Neill and Phillips discovered the detail about Dylan’s custom flares, they started noticing them everywhere—including on the album artwork for his fourth LP, Another Side of Bob Dylan.
To commemorate A Complete Unknown and its costumes, Levi’s Vintage Clothing produced a capsule collection featuring a reproduction of Dylan’s customized XX 501s complete with hand-sewn bootcut inserts and a D-ring leather belt, as well as toffee-hued suede work jacket based on a jacket Dylan wore during the era.
The full assortment will hit the brand’s website on December 20.
In A Complete Unknown, Dylan’s classic denim also contrasts with Baez’s trendier silhouettes, which often included Levi’s with a white or black logo tab on the back pocket, which the company produced in the early 1960s to denote hipper styles geared towards young people.
In this case, that meant more denim storytelling: Dylan, like his customized jeans, was sly and rugged; Baez, fresh and forward-thinking.
But by the mid ’60s, the folk scene—and with it, Dylan’s tastes in music, clothing, and otherwise—was in metamorphosis.
And the jeans, they were a-changin’.
Phillips gleaned that after Dylan had toured England in spring 1965, he “clearly had come back with his Cuban-heeled boots, his skinny jeans, his military peacoat, that whole look. He was a big fan of the Beatles, and he met the Beatles and he was hanging out with Donovan [Phillips Leitch],” she says.
“It was Carnaby Street mod time, and he definitely brought that look back.”
The costume designer consulted with O’Neill to identify the super-skinny jeans that Dylan wore during his historic Newport performance that summer.
In 1965—the same year Bob went electric—Levi’s introduced the Super Slims, which O’Neill says “were basically the skinniest jeans you could make without using stretch fabric.”
youtube
He sourced fabric produced at a defunct mill in North Carolina to recreate a pair for the scene.
Though there was no photographic evidence to verify for certain that Dylan wore Super Slims that night at Newport, for the film, they fit the bill.
But Dylan’s trailblazing Newport ’65 performance held another fashion mystery.
Per photos from the era, Dylan wore an uncharacteristically loud mint-green, polka-dotted blouse during a soundcheck for his electric set;
he later wore the same shirt on the cover of one of his 1966 EPs.
When Phillips first showed images of the shirt to Mangold, she recalls, “Jim wasn’t so sold on it.”
But Chalamet himself had a vision for how the shirt might make sense in the movie.
(Hint: Chalamet’s Dylan wears it in a scene opposite Boyd Holbrook’s Johnny Cash, a character whom Phillips—having costumed Walk the Line—relished the chance to revisit “in a totally different film and with a different actor.”)
“Timmy loved that shirt and I loved the shirt, too,” says Phillips.
“It really seeds what we know Bob goes on to in ’65, where his style really explodes.”
Over the course of the film, as O’Neill puts it, we see Dylan morph “from this rough-and-ready traveling character into this peacock with the big hair and the shades and the skinny jeans and the polka dot shirt.”
Even so, the blue jeans provided a through-line.
“Denim is so beautiful because it’s the signature of a youth culture movement [and] when we think about today, we take it for granted,” says Phillips.
“I’ve done a lot of mid-century films, but denim, there are so many dress codes [where] you couldn’t wear denim in the workplace, you couldn’t wear it to school, you couldn’t wear it to church. It was really relegated to the blue-collar workers [or] how we dressed on the weekends until it became a signature of the youth movement in the Sixties. And that really, that rebellion—I mean, that was punk rock before punk rock, right?”
Movies If Bob Dylan didn’t exist, “A Complete Unknown” would be an absorbing if conventional drama about a fictional folk singer with that name who, in the nineteen-sixties, shows up in New York and turns himself into a rock star at a time when the concept was novel.
But, given the complex ubiquity of Dylan’s music and life story, the movie’s synthetic simplicity is bewildering.
The director, James Mangold (who wrote the script with Jay Cocks), emphasizes the protagonist’s own sense of self-invention, and offers a bland and smooth official portrait—which nonetheless remains fascinating.
Timothée Chalamet stars, delivering an impressive yet emotionally muffled impersonation of Dylan; the rest of the cast—principally, Edward Norton, as Pete Seeger; Monica Barbaro, as Joan Baez; and Elle Fanning, as the pseudonymous Sylvie Russo—push vigorously against the narrow limits of their roles.

Exploring the Vastness: America’s Largest Ranches
Tumblr media
When we think of American landscapes, images of vast open spaces, rolling hills, and grazing cattle often come to mind. These iconic scenes are not just a product of Hollywood imagination but are grounded in reality, thanks to the expansive ranches that dot the American countryside. In this article, we’ll take a journey through some of the largest ranches in America, where the spirit of the Old West still lives on.
King Ranch (Texas)
Spanning over 825,000 acres, King Ranch holds the title of being the largest ranch in America. Established in 1853 by Captain Richard King, this legendary ranch has played a significant role in shaping the history of Texas and the cattle industry. Today, King Ranch is not only a working cattle ranch but also a major producer of citrus fruits, cotton, and other agricultural products. Its sprawling expanse is also home to diverse wildlife and habitats, making it a haven for nature enthusiasts.
Waggoner Ranch (Texas)
Coming in at a close second is Waggoner Ranch, covering approximately 535,000 acres in northwest Texas. Founded in 1849 by Daniel Waggoner, this historic ranch has remained in the same family for six generations. Known for its vast herds of cattle and its iconic “W” brand, Waggoner Ranch is a symbol of Texas’s ranching heritage. In addition to cattle ranching, the property also boasts oil and gas operations, hunting leases, and recreational amenities.
Deseret Ranches (Florida)
Deseret Ranches, located in central Florida, spans an impressive 295,000 acres, making it one of the largest ranches in the United States. Owned by the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, this massive property is primarily dedicated to cattle ranching and agricultural production. With its vast pastures, wetlands, and natural habitats, Deseret Ranches plays a vital role in conservation efforts and wildlife preservation in the region.
ORO Ranch (Arizona)
Nestled in the heart of Arizona’s Sonoran Desert, ORO Ranch encompasses approximately 270,000 acres of rugged terrain. Founded in the late 1800s, this historic ranch has a rich legacy of cattle ranching and horse breeding. ORO Ranch is renowned for its quarter horses, known for their agility, speed, and versatility. Beyond its livestock operations, the ranch also offers guided hunting excursions and eco-tourism experiences, allowing visitors to immerse themselves in the beauty of the desert landscape.
4 Sixes Ranch (Texas)
Situated in North Texas, 4 Sixes Ranch sprawls across 266,255 acres of pristine grasslands and rolling plains. Founded in 1870 by Samuel Burk Burnett, this storied ranch is famous for its distinctive “6666” brand and its legendary quarter horses. Today, 4 Sixes Ranch continues to uphold its legacy of excellence in cattle ranching, horse breeding, and land stewardship, preserving the traditions of the American West for future generations.
In conclusion, these largest ranches in America not only represent a significant part of the country’s agricultural heritage but also embody the spirit of adventure, resilience, and perseverance that define the American frontier. From the vast plains of Texas to the sun-drenched landscapes of Florida and Arizona, these expansive properties serve as reminders of the enduring connection between people, land, and livestock in the Great American West.

Argylle Movie Review
As a novelist myself, I have a soft spot for movies about writers—I’ve thoroughly enjoyed them in every genre, from Sunset Blvd (1950) to American Fiction (2023). As Argylle is centered on a spy novelist whose creations come to life, I was all in from the word “trailer.” However, that’s not quite how it all winds up (no spoilers here), and in the end, Argylle somehow manages to both drag and go flying over the top.
Tumblr media
Argylle is basically the wild ride you get when you toss a lonely author, Elly Conway (played by the fab Bryce Dallas Howard), into her own book series—and it’s as bonkers as it sounds. Imagine diving into your own story, kinda like those vintage 1970s skits from the Carol Burnett Show where authors’ characters came to life and acted out the tales. Been there, done that? Maybe, but stick with me!
The cast is like the Avengers of Hollywood: Bryce totally nails it as Elly, and then you’ve got the dream team of Sam Rockwell, Bryan Cranston, the Man of Steel himself Henry Cavill, pop sensation Dua Lipa, the legendary Samuel L. Jackson, and comedy queen Catherine O’Hara lighting up the screen. And oh, there’s this utterly cute Scottish Fold cat that steals the show—half CGI, half real, and all adorable, played by Chip (who’s actually Claudia Schiffer’s fur baby, and yep, she’s married to the guy calling the shots on this flick, Matthew Vaughn).
Speaking of Vaughn, he knows his way around a spy comedy like nobody’s business, having given us the Kingsman series and Kickass. Remember 2004’s Layer Cake with a pre-Bond Daniel Craig? That was Vaughn, too. So, the guy’s got chops. But even with all this talent and craziness, Argylle starts to feel like that guest who just won’t leave the party, dragging on for a whopping 2 hours and 20 minutes. It’s a blast for the most part, but then it tries to juggle too much spy-jinx, ending up like a caper that’s dipped into one martini too many. Total bummer, because with a cast this epic and a plot this zany, it could’ve been a home run.

TV Guide  -  November 9 - 15, 1963
Carol Creighton Burnett (born April 26, 1933) Stage, film and television actress, comedian, singer, and writer, whose career spans seven decades of television. She is best known for her groundbreaking comedy variety show, The Carol Burnett Show, originally aired on CBS. It was one of the first of its kind to be hosted by a woman. She has achieved success on stage, television and film in varying genres including dramatic and comedic roles. She has also appeared on various talk shows and as a panelist on game shows. She would later have several daughters joining her in variety of American television series and films.
She was cast in a minor role on The Paul Winchell and Jerry Mahoney Show in 1955. She played the girlfriend of a ventriloquist’s dummy on the popular children’s program. This role led to her starring role opposite Buddy Hackett in the short-lived sitcom Stanley from 1956–57.
She worked as a regular on one of television’s earliest game shows, Pantomime Quiz, during this time. In 1957, just as she was achieving her first small successes, her mother died. In October 1960, Burnett debuted at New York’s Blue Angel Supper Club, where she was discovered by scouts for The Jack Paar Show and The Ed Sullivan Show.
In 1959 she became a regular player on The Garry Moore Show for the next three years, and won her first Emmy Award in 1962. Burnett had her television special debut in 1963 when she starred as Calamity Jane in the Dallas State Fair Musicals production of Calamity Jane on CBS. Burnett moved to Los Angeles, California, and began an 11-year run as star of The Carol Burnett Show on CBS television from 1967 to 1978. With its vaudeville roots, The Carol Burnett Show was a variety show that combined comedy sketches with song and dance. The comedy sketches included film parodies and character pieces. Burnett created many memorable characters during the show’s run, and both she and the show won numerous Emmy and Golden Globe Awards.
With her success on the Moore Show, Burnett finally rose to headliner status and appeared in the special Julie and Carol at Carnegie Hall (1962), co-starring with her friend Julie Andrews. She also guest-starred on a number of shows during this time, including The Twilight Zone episode “Cavender Is Coming”.
She became good friends with Jim Nabors, who was enjoying great success with his series Gomer Pyle, U.S.M.C. As a result of their close friendship, she played a recurring role on Nabors’ show as a tough corporal, later gunnery sergeant (starting with the episode “Corporal Carol”). Later, Nabors was her first guest on her variety show each season, as she considered him to be her good-luck charm.    (Wikipedia)

What are your headcanons of Sieglinde getting adopted by the Dallas Burnett family ( basically Angelina’s side of the family) ?
Okay, so this could go in two ways: Madam Red didn't die but instead is owed to Ciel and Sebastian after the whole Jack the Ripper speel and wound up coming on the Green Witch Arc and grew fond of Sieglinde Or Vincent got this assignment years previous and took Sieglinde when she was a toddler and gave her to Madam Red to "watch her" cause some of those nutts are looking for her
I'll do that one
Tumblr media
When given this baby girl no more than three, it was some time after Madam Red left the hospital after the carriage accident. Vincent claims it's cause of a case and just didn't want to abandoned the poor girl in the place he was at
Madam Red remained to name her Sieglinde since it was pretty
Wolfram arrived a year later but refused to take Sieglinde back after seeing how close she and Madam Red grew, so he stays as Sieglinde's bodyguard/babysitter
Sieglinde was a big lifeline of Madam Red's grieving and slight rage mode.
Yes, she still thought of killing like her original path and did but quickly stepped out when seeing her daughter sleeping one night
Her and Grelle still met but, like Madam Red, grew attached to the little Sieglinde
So Grelle remains beside Madam Red's side despite the murders stopping in guise as her servant
Sieglinde grew close to Ciel
Yule is so much fun
Madam Red already gave he agnostic vibes so if Sieglinde is in love with paegan than paegan she shall like too
