Under the Harvest Moon Carl Sandburg 1878 –1967

Under the harvest moon, When the soft silver Drips shimmering Over the garden nights, Death, the gray mocker, Comes and whispers to you As a beautiful friend Who remembers.

Under the summer roses When the flagrant crimson Lurks in the dusk Of the wild red leaves, Love, with little hands, Comes and touches you With a thousand memories, And asks you Beautiful, unanswerable questions.

which president met the most popes-john paul 2?

Yes, it's Pope John Paul II.

The first incumbent President to meet a Pope was Woodrow Wilson, who met Pope Benedict XV at the Vatican in 1919, so Presidents have really only been meeting with Popes for the past 100 years. So Pope John Paul II basically reigned as Pope for a quarter of the time (26+ years) that Presidents have been meeting with them.

But despite the length of John Paul II's reign, he didn't meet with significantly more Presidents than some of the other Popes. John Paul II met with five incumbent Presidents during his reign: Jimmy Carter, Ronald Reagan, George H.W. Bush, Bill Clinton, and George W. Bush (he also met future President Joe Biden when Biden was a U.S. Senator). Pope Paul VI, who was Pope from 1963-1978, met with four incumbent Presidents: John F. Kennedy, Lyndon B. Johnson, Richard Nixon, and Gerald Ford. John Paul II would have probably met more Presidents if not for the fact that Reagan and Clinton were both re-elected and served the full eight years in office (Bush 43 was also re-elected, but John Paul II died just a few months into his second term).

Here's a full list of which incumbent Presidents met with which Popes:

•Pope Benedict XV [1]: Woodrow Wilson (1919) •Pope John XXIII [1]: Dwight D. Eisenhower (1959) •Pope Paul VI [4]: John F. Kennedy (1963); Lyndon B. Johnson (1965 & 1967--a meeting which featured one of my favorite Presidential stories ever); Richard Nixon (1969 & 1970); Gerald Ford (1975) •Pope John Paul II [5]: Jimmy Carter (1979 & 1980); Ronald Reagan (1982, 1984, & 1987); George H.W. Bush (1989 & 1991); Bill Clinton (1993, 1994, 1995, & 1999); George W. Bush (2001, 2002, & 2004) [John Paul II also met future Presidents George H.W. Bush during Bush's Vice Presidency and Joe Biden while Biden was a Senator.] •Pope Benedict XVI [2]: George W. Bush (2007 & 2008); Barack Obama (2009) [Benedict XVI also met future President Joe Biden during his Vice Presidency.] •Pope Francis [3]: Barack Obama (2014 & 2015); Donald Trump (2017); Joe Biden (2021) [Francis also met future President Biden on three occasions during Biden's Vice Presidency.]

Interestingly, Pope Pius IX, who reigned from 1846-1878 -- long before the United States formally established permanent diplomatic relations with the Holy See -- also met four Presidents during his reign (more than any Pope other than John Paul II), but they were all either former or future Presidents. Pius IX met former Presidents Martin Van Buren and Millard Fillmore in 1855 when they visited Rome (separately) and former President Franklin Pierce when he visited Rome in November 1857. And Pius IX met future President Theodore Roosevelt in December 1869 when Roosevelt's family visited the Vatican. Theodore Roosevelt is actually the only person who served as President known to have kissed the ring of a Pope -- even though Roosevelt wasn't Catholic and was only 11 years old. Former President Ulysses S. Grant met Pope Leo XIII in 1878 when visiting the Vatican during his post-Presidential world tour.

richard henry creel is really such a character. Such a character.

so, quick summary, in one of the newspaper articles there’s a mention of someone names richard brenner

found by @aemiron-main

richard brenner is listed as the head of the Narcotic Enforcement Division from 1954-1971

richard henry creel is the son of virginia fackle creel and henry clay creel. im sure the connection is obvious

anyway, when we look into who this richard henry creel guy was, we learn that he was the assistant surgeon general of the U.S. public health service, and to become this head he’d have to have had specialized training or significant experience in public health. so, this guy was heavily involved in this stuff, though his exact service starts in 1921 but the end is never specified

under the PHS, the, “The Division of Venereal Diseases was established in 1918, and the Narcotics Division in 1929 (it eventually became the National Institute of Mental Health).”

now, richard henry creel was born in 1878 — he would’ve been in his 50’s by the time the narcotics division was actually created

1955 - “The National Microbiological Institute became the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases (NIAID) by order of the Surgeon General on December 29. The Biologics Control Laboratory was detached from the institute and expanded to division status within NIH.”

1957 - “The Center for Aging Research was established November 27 as the focal center for NIH extramural activities in gerontology.”

1958 - “On July 16 the Division of General Medical Sciences was established by order of the Surgeon General, extending research into noncategorical areas covered until that time by the Division of Research Grants. The Center for Aging Research was transferred from the National Heart Institute to the Division of General Medical Sciences on November 4.”

1962 - “Five acres of land for a Gerontology Research Center were donated by the City of Baltimore in December.”

1963 - “The National Institute of Child Health and Human Development and the National Institute of General Medical Sciences were established on January 30. The Center for Research in Child Health and the Center for Research in Aging (established in 1956) were transferred from NIGMS to NICHD.”

1967 - “The National Institute of Mental Health [narcotics division] was separated from NIH and raised to bureau status in PHS by a reorganization that became effective January 1.“

1971 - “The White House Conference on Aging recommended creating a separate National Institute on Aging on December 2.”

source

now that’s a lot of words and moving and bullshit, so here’s the most important stuff to know.

richard henry creel was appointed assistant general surgeon in 1921, and 8 years later the Narcotics Division was formed. the surgeon general he was serving served from 1920 to 1936 — it isn’t much of a reach to say he was probably involved in the creation of this division

now, richard brenner was supposedly the head of the Narcotics Enforcement Division from 1954 to 1971. during that time, the narcotics division was brought up to bureau status, putting it at rank with programs like the FBI and an entire institute dedicated to researching the effects of aging were created, merging aging research with child health research

all of this stuff has roots in the PHS, and the PHS’ biggest start up was chemical research. all of this gets rooted back to chemical research

so, when we look at it, we can see that the same year the institute on aging was created, richard brenner was resigned and richard creel died. this was the year that all the main kids were born, most importantly el and will

i’d also like to point out the center of aging stuff began about two years before henry was taken by brenner. that would be when henry was 10, and i believe that that was the year henry moved to hawkins (trust in @laozuspo) and it was only a year after richard brenner had gotten involved with the narcotics division

what could this all be pointing to? well, both em and james have been feeding me stuff about henry’s regeneration abilities. more importantly, how they resemble cancer. what i didn’t include in the info from 1955 is that the first ever cancer chemotherapy center was established — the same year the Biologics Control Laboratory was given its own division. the BCL explored viral diseases and produced vaccines. the word ‘sick’ in the show has prominent value on a deeper level, as stav has explained, but if we take it more surface level…

ALL i’m saying is that a ton of this stuff lines up. i don’t have a clear answer as to what exactly it means or how we got from A to B for sure, but it seems a lot like this richard character was interested in henry’s cancer-like regeneration abilities. possibly even in an attempt to prevent the process of aging. maybe, just maybe, richard brenner, richard henry creel, and martin brenner aren’t all that different *wink wink*

#at least this is what i’ve found so far #i’m still digging but i need to get this out of my head so i can focus on the other stuff i’m supposed to be working on #like. i shouldn’t be focusing on this or virginia fackle creel’s garden i have 3 different posts im supposed to be making and a fic #but . But this is so #richard brenner #martin brenner #richard henry creel

Black Peter

This is not to be confused with Zwarte Piet ("Black Pete"), the blackface character from the Low Countries.

The Pope in 1895 was Leo XIII, who reigned from 1878 to 1903. He was a modernising Pope who advocated for workers' rights, opposing both unchecked capitalism and socialism. At this time, the Pope was a religious leader only, with the Vatican City under Italian control.

The whole "stabbing the pig" thing reminds me very much of the montages from CSI where the investigators will try to work out the details of a case via practical experiments. There is in fact a 2005 episode of the show that involves a Sherlock Holmes fan getting murdered in costume in a basement mock-up of 221B Baker Street.

The harpoon gun was a relatively new development and most whaling operations relied on someone throwing the harpoon at the poor creature. Moby Dick depicts a number of such attacks.

Forest Row is a village in East Sussex. John F Kennedy popped in there in 1963 during his state visit to the UK.

A tantalus is a lockable wooden cabinet containing two or three decanters of alcoholic beverage.

The Canadian Pacific Railway continued to exist as a major freight and passenger operator in Canada until 2023, when it merged with the Kansas City Southern Railway Company. The combined organisation is now known as Canadian Pacific Kansas City or CPKC for short.

Forest Row was on the East Grinstead to Tunbridge Wells railway line. This fell victim to the Beeching Axe, the section through Forest Row closing in 1967, later becoming a footpath called the Forest Way. The Groombridge to Tunbridge Wells section now forms a large part of the Spa Valley Railway heritage line.

The Ratcliff Highway (now just The Highway) was a busy road in the East End that dates back to Roman times. It is most infamous as the site of a pair of murderous home invasions in 1811 that saw seven people murdered. One of them, Timothy Marr, was just three months old. The prime suspect killed himself in prison before his trial.

Arthur Conan Doyle stayed at the Brambletye Hotel and featured it in the story as a compliment. The Hotel returned this by retaining a Holmes theme to this day, including a 221 Restaurant.

John Masefield

1878 - 1967

Sea Fever (1902)

I must go down to the seas again, to the lonely sea and the sky,

And all I ask is a tall ship and a star to steer her by;

And the wheel’s kick and the wind’s song and the white sail’s shaking,

And a grey mist on the sea’s face, and a grey dawn breaking.

I must go down to the seas again, for the call of the running tide

Is a wild call and a clear call that may not be denied;

And all I ask is a windy day with the white clouds flying,

And the flung spray and the blown spume, and the sea-gulls crying.

I must go down to the seas again, to the vagrant gypsy life,

To the gull’s way and the whale’s way where the wind’s like a whetted knife;

And all I ask is a merry yarn from a laughing fellow-rover,

And quiet sleep and a sweet dream when the long trick’s over.

My beautiful and/or antique books collection ♥️

American literature

British

Russian

Heritage Club + Limited Edition Club

Gone with the Wind

(I've already shared my Narnia and Tolkien books, so I won't repeat those here )

Details on the specific books:

American lit, top to bottom of the stack

Ethan Frome by Edith Wharton, published in 1911. My copy is from 1939 and I got it for 50 cents at a used book sale.

Laments for the Living by Dorothy Parker, published 1930. The latest addition to my collection, purchased yesterday from a used bookstore on a visit to my sister! My copy is a tenth printing from September 1936.

A Library of America anthology of Willa Cather's early novels (1905-1922) that I got for Christmas one year.

The Collected Works of F. Scott Fitzgerald (1920-1940) from the Wordsworth Library Collection. I picked this up at Costco, if you can believe it. Just a basic anthology, but very pretty.

Heritage Club copy of The Portrait of a Lady by Henry James (1881) that I picked up at a used bookstore.

Limited Edition Club copy of The Age of Innocence by Edith Wharton (1920) that my mom bought me for my birthday after someone never returned my original copy. One of the best gifts I've ever received.

British lit

Wuthering Heights by Emily Brontë, originally published in 1847. My copy is the Modern Library edition from 1939. I inherited it from my mom :)

The Newcomes by William Makepeace Thackeray, originally published in 1855. My copy is part of a 26 volume set of Thackeray's works from 1901. I found it for five dollars at an antique store.

The Voyage of the Dawn Treader by C.S. Lewis first edition, second printing. Arguably the jewel of my collection. It's a former library book and I bought it for myself as a reward for surviving the Covid lockdowns lol. In my defense, I'd had my eye on it for a while.

Villette by Charlotte Brontë, originally published in 1853. My copy is from 1887 (!) The other best Christmas gift I've ever received.

A Tale of Two Cities by Charles Dickens (1859). My copy is a British classics edition from an indie publisher where the whole thing is arranged like a newspaper. It's super cool.

Barnes and Noble edition anthology of Jane Austen's works

Russian

And Quiet Flows the Don by Mikhail Sholokhov (1940). My copy is from 1960. Not that antique, but I love it all the same. Another used bookstore find!

International Collectors Library edition of Nicholas and Alexandra by Robert K Massie (1967). They did a really beautiful series of "The World's Greatest Biographies." Yet another used bookstore find (I may spend too much time in used bookstores 😂)

International Collectors Library copy of Doctor Zhivago by Boris Pasternak (1957). Library book sale, I think.

Barnes and Noble edition of Anna Karenina by Leo Tolstoy (1878).

Heritage Club copy of Fathers and Sons by Ivan Turgenev (WITH its Sandglass paper!!). I got it for eight dollars (!) at an antique store.

Gone with the Wind (Margaret Mitchell, 1936)

My mom's copy, dated 1961. It's paperbound and falling apart, but it's one of the most precious objects I own. Probably the #3 object from my house that I would save in a fire.

A copy from 1937. It's an eighteenth printing and not especially valuable, but I think it's super cool that my copy was printed only a year after publication. Definitely the copy that I read/handle most often. From a used bookstore I think?? Genuinely not sure.

The Motion Picture Edition! That's right, I have the edition that got released with the movie in 1939. It's hilarious how similar and yet different it is from modern books like this. Glossy cover with pictures from the movie on the front and back, movie stills interspersed throughout, yet it's 8x10 and the text is set two columns to a page. This came from an antique store and I laugh to myself every time I look at it.

#my pride and joy #hope this post is enjoyable for others and not widely self indulgent lol #pontifications and creations #literature makes us more human
