neg: The Bush Garden: Essays on the Canadian Imagination The Bush Garden : Essays on the Canadian Imagination is a collection of essays by Canadian literary critic Northrop Frye ( 1912 -- 1991 ) . The collection was originally published in 1971 ; it was republished , with an introduction by Canadian postmodern theorist Linda Hutcheon , in 1995 . The Bush Garden features analyses of Canadian poetry , prose fiction and painting . According to Frye 's introduction , the essays were selected to provide a composite view of the Canadian imagination , an understanding of the human imagination 's reaction to and development in response to the Canadian environment .   The Bush Garden includes an edited version of Frye 's `` Conclusion '' to Carl F. Klinck 's Literary History of Canada . In this work , Frye articulated his theory of `` garrison mentality '' as the defining characteristic of Canadian literature . Garrison mentality is the attitude of a community that feels isolated from cultural centres and besieged by a hostile landscape . Frye maintained that such communities were peculiarly Canadian , and fostered a literature that was formally immature , that displayed deep moral discomfort with `` uncivilized '' nature , and whose narratives reinforced social norms and values

neg: The Edible Woman The Edible Woman is a 1969 novel that helped to establish Margaret Atwood as a prose writer of major significance . It is the story of a young woman whose sane , structured , consumer-oriented world starts to slip out of focus . Following her engagement , Marian feels her body and her self are becoming separated . As Marian begins endowing food with human qualities that cause her to identify with it , she finds herself unable to eat , repelled by metaphorical cannibalism . In a foreword written in 1979 for the Virago edition of the novel , Atwood described it as a protofeminist rather than feminist work .   Atwood explores gender stereotypes through characters who strictly adhere to them ( such as Peter or Lucy ) and those who defy their constraints ( such as Ainsley or Duncan ) . The narrative point of view shifts from first to third person , accentuating Marian 's slow detachment from reality . At the conclusion , first person narration returns , consistent with the character 's willingness to take control of her life again . Food and clothing are major symbols used by the author to explore themes and grant the reader insight on each of the characters ' personalities , moods and motivations .   Setting is used to identify differences between the characters ; for example , Duncan is encountered in a mundane laundromat , gloomy theatre or sleazy hotel . In comparison , Peter inhabits genteel bars and a sparkling new apartment . However these changing environments are also used to explore different angles of existence , contrasting a freer , wilder glimpse of life , with a civilised , gilded cage . This highlights the difficulties presented to women in the era , where freedom was synonymous with uncertainty but marriage presented problems of its own .   This novel 's publication coincided with the rise of the women 's movement in North America , but is described by Atwood as `` protofeminist '' because it was written in 1965 and thus anticipated second wave feminism .

neg: Carole Maso Carole Maso is a contemporary American novelist and essayist , known for her experimental , poetic and fragmentary narratives often called postmodern . She received a B.A. in English from Vassar College in 1977 . She is the recipient of a Lannan Literary Fellowship for Fiction , an NEA fellowship , and several other grants . Her first published novel was Ghost Dance , which appeared in 1986 . Her best known novel is probably Defiance , published in 1998 . She is a professor of literary arts at Brown University , where she has taught since 1995 , and has previously held positions as a writer-in-residence at Illinois State University in 1991 -- 92 and George Washington University in 1992 -- 93 , as well as teaching writing at Columbia University in 1993 . A forthcoming novel , The Bay of Angels , incorporates various narrative types -- essay , memoir , prose poems , and even graphics -- and represents nearly 15 years of work . Parts of The Bay of Angels have appeared in journals and anthologies .   Maso was born in Paterson , New Jersey in 1955 , the child of her jazz musician father and her emergency room nurse mother .   Maso admits she was not an avid reader in childhood . Indeed , she did not write creatively until her senior year at Vassar , when she submitted about 50 pages of prose poems as her senior honors thesis . It is at this point that she knew she wanted to be a writer .   Maso eschewed the traditional path to teaching , having never studied formally beyond her Vassar B.A. , despite having been offered a graduate fellowship at Boston University . Rather , she devoted 9 years to learning the craft by doing , writing while alternately working as a waitress , artist 's model , and fencing instructor . She also did some house - and cat-sitting , which afforded her time to write . Maso has referred to this period as her `` apprenticeship years . ''

neg: Novel in Scotland The novel in Scotland includes all long prose fiction published in Scotland and by Scottish authors since the development of the literary format in the eighteenth century . The novel was soon a major element of Scottish literary and critical life . Tobias Smollett 's picaresque novels , such as The Adventures of Roderick Random and The Adventures of Peregrine Pickle mean that he is often seen as Scotland 's first novelist . Other Scots who contributed to the development of the novel in the eighteenth century include Henry Mackenzie and John Moore .   There was a tradition of moral and domestic fiction in the early nineteenth century that included the work of Elizabeth Hamilton , Mary Brunton and Christian Johnstone . The outstanding literary figure of the early nineteenth century was Walter Scott , whose Waverley is often called the first historical novel . He had a major worldwide influence . His success led to a publishing boom in Scotland . Major figures that benefited included James Hogg , John Galt , John Gibson Lockhart , John Wilson and Susan Ferrier . In the mid-nineteenth century major literary figures that contributed to the development of the novel included David Macbeth Moir , John Stuart Blackie , William Edmondstoune Aytoun and Margaret Oliphant . In the late nineteenth century , a number of Scottish-born authors achieved international reputations , including Robert Louis Stevenson and Arthur Conan Doyle , whose Sherlock Holmes stories helped found the tradition of detective fiction . In the last two decades of the century the `` kailyard school '' ( cabbage patch ) depicted Scotland in a rural and nostalgic fashion , often seen as a `` failure of nerve '' in dealing with the rapid changes that had swept across Scotland in the industrial revolution . Figures associated with the movement include Ian Maclaren , S. R. Crockett and J. M. Barrie , best known for his creation of Peter Pan , which helped develop the genre of fantasy , as did the work of George MacDonald .   Among the most important novels of the early twentieth century was The House with the Green Shutters by George Douglas Brown , which broke with the Kailyard tradition . John Buchan played a major role in the creation of the modern thriller with The Thirty-Nine Steps and Greenmantle . The Scottish literary Renaissance attempted to introduce modernism into art and create of a distinctive national literature . It increasingly focused on the novel . Major figures included Neil Gunn , George Blake , A. J. Cronin , Eric Linklater and Lewis Grassic Gibbon . There were also a large number of female authors associated with the movement , who included Catherine Carswell , Willa Muir , Nan Shepherd and Naomi Mitchison . Many major Scottish post-war novelists , such as Robin Jenkins , Jessie Kesson , Muriel Spark , Alexander Trocchi and James Kennaway spent most of their lives outside Scotland , but often dealt with Scottish themes . Successful mass-market works included the action novels of Alistair MacLean and the historical fiction of Dorothy Dunnett . A younger generation of novelists that emerged in the 1960s and 1970s included Allan Massie , Shena Mackay and Alan Spence . Working class identity continued to be explored by Archie Hind , Alan Sharp , George Friel and William McIlvanney .   From the 1980s Scottish literature enjoyed another major revival , with figures including Alasdair Gray , James Kelman , Irvine Welsh , Alan Warner , Janice Galloway , A. L. Kennedy , Iain Banks , Candia McWilliam , Frank Kuppner and Andrew O'Hagan . In genre fiction Iain Banks , writing as Iain M. Banks , produced ground-breaking science fiction and Scottish crime fiction has been a major area of growth with the success of novelists including Frederic Lindsay , Quintin Jardine , Val McDermid , Denise Mina , Christopher Brookmyre , and particularly Ian Rankin and his Inspector Rebus novels . The most successful author of Scottish origins in recent years has been J. K. Rowling , author of the Harry Potter series .

neg: Ode to a Nightingale `` Ode to a Nightingale '' is a poem by John Keats written either in the garden of the Spaniards Inn , Hampstead , London or , according to Keats ' friend Charles Armitage Brown , under a plum tree in the garden of Keats ' house at Wentworth Place , also in Hampstead . According to Brown , a nightingale had built its nest near the house Keats and Brown shared in the spring of 1819 . Inspired by the bird 's song , Keats composed the poem in one day . It soon became one of his 1819 odes and was first published in Annals of the Fine Arts the following July . The poem is one of the most frequently anthologized in the English language .   `` Ode to a Nightingale '' is a personal poem that describes Keats 's journey into the state of negative capability . The tone of the poem rejects the optimistic pursuit of pleasure found within Keats 's earlier poems and , rather , explores the themes of nature , transience and mortality , the latter being particularly personal to Keats .   The nightingale described within the poem experiences a type of death but does not actually die . Instead , the songbird is capable of living through its song , which is a fate that humans can not expect . The poem ends with an acceptance that pleasure can not last and that death is an inevitable part of life . In the poem , Keats imagines the loss of the physical world and sees himself dead -- as a `` sod '' over which the nightingale sings . The contrast between the immortal nightingale and mortal man sitting in his garden , is made all the more acute by an effort of the imagination . The presence of weather is noticeable in the poem , as spring came early in 1819 , bringing nightingales all over the heath .

neg: Madrigal (poetry) Madrigal ( madrigale ) is the name of a form of poetry , the exact nature of which has never been decided in English .   The definition given in the New English Dictionary , `` a short lyrical poem of amatory character , '' offers no distinctive formula ; some madrigals are long , and many have nothing whatever to do with love . The most important English collection of madrigals , not set to music , was published by William Drummond of Hawthornden ( 1585 -- 1649 ) in his Poems of 1616 . Perhaps the best way of ascertaining what was looked upon in the 17th century as a madrigal is to quote one of Drummond 's :  The beauty and the life Of life 's and beauty 's fairest paragon , O tears ! O grief ! hung at a feeble thread , To which pale Atropos had set her knife ; The soul with many a groan Had left each outward part , And now did take his last leave of the heart ; Nought else did want , save death , even to be dead ; When the afflicted band about her bed , Seeing so fair him come in lips , cheeks , eyes , Cried ah ! and can death enter Paradise ?  This may be taken as a type of Drummond 's madrigals , of which he has left us about eighty . They are serious , brief , irregular lyrics , in which neither the amatory nor the complimentary tone is by any means obligatory . Some of these pieces contain as few as six lines , one as many as fourteen , but they average from nine to eleven . In the majority of examples the little poem opens with a line of six syllables , and no line extends beyond ten syllables . The madrigal appears to be a short canzone of the Tuscan type , but less rigidly constructed . In French the madrigal has not this Italian character . It is simply a short piece of verse , ingenious in its turn and of a gallant tendency . The idea of compliment is essential . J. F. Guichard ( 1730 -- 1811 ) writes : `` Orgon , poke marital , A Venus compare sa femme ; C'est pour la belle un madrigal , C'est pour Venus une epigramme . ''   This quatrain emphasizes the fact that in French a madrigal is a trifling piece of erotic compliment , neatly turned but not seriously meant . The credit of inventing the old French verse form of madrigal belongs to Clément Marot , and one of his may be quoted in contrast to that of Drummond :  Un doux nenni avec un doux sourire Est tant honneste , it le vous faut apprendre ; Quant est de oui , si veniez a le dire , D'avoir trop dit je voudrois vous reprendre ; Non que je sois ennuye d'entreprendre D'avoir le fruit dont le desir me point ; Mais je voudrois qu'en ne le laissant prendre , Vous me disiez : vous ne l'aurez point .  In English , when the word first occurred -- it has not been traced farther back than 1588 ( in the preface to Nicholas Yonge 's Musica transalpina ) -- it was identified with the chief form of secular vocal music in the 16th century . In 1741 , John Immyns ( 1700 -- 1764 ) founded the Madrigal Society , which met in an ale-house in Bride Lane , Fleet Street ; this association still exists , and is the oldest musical society in Europe .   The word `` madrigal '' is frequently also used to designate a sentimental or trifling expression in a half-contemptuous sense .

neg: Paterson (poem) Paterson is an epic poem by American poet William Carlos Williams published , in five volumes , from 1946 to 1958 . The origin of the poem was an eighty-five line long poem written in 1926 , after Williams had read and been influenced by James Joyce 's novel Ulysses . As he continued writing lyric poetry , Williams spent increasing amounts of time on Paterson , honing his approach to it both in terms of style and structure . While The Cantos of Ezra Pound and The Bridge by Hart Crane could be considered partial models , Williams was intent on a documentary method that differed from both these works , one that would mirror `` the resemblance between the mind of modern man and the city . ''   While Williams might or might not have said so himself , commentators such as Christoper Beach and Margaret Lloyd have called Paterson his response to T.S. Eliot 's The Waste Land and Pound 's Cantos . The long gestation time of Paterson before its first book was published was due in large part to Williams 's honing of prosody outside of conventional meter and his development of an overall structure that would stand on a par with Eliot and Pound yet remain endemically American , free from past influences and older forms .   The poem is composed of five books and a fragment of a sixth book . The five books of Paterson were published separately in 1946 , 1948 , 1949 , 1951 and 1958 , and the entire work collected under one cover in 1963 . A revised edition was released in 1992 . This corrected a number of printing and other textual errors in the original , especially discrepancies between prose citations in their original sources and how they appeared in Williams 's poem . Paterson is set in Paterson , New Jersey , whose long history allowed Williams to give depth to the America he wanted to write about , and the Paterson Falls , which powered the town 's industry , became a central image and source of energy for the poem .

neg: Ann Yearsley Ann Yearsley , née Cromartie ( 1753 -- 1806 ) , was an English poet and writer .   Born in Bristol to John and Anne Cromartie ( described as a milkwoman ) , Ann married John Yearsley , a yeoman , in 1774 . A decade later the family were rescued from destitution by the charity of Hannah More and others . More organized subscriptions for Yearsley to publish Poems , on Several Occasions ( 1785 ) . The success of the volume led to a quarrel between More and Yearsley over access to the trust in which profits from the undertaking were held . Yearsley included her account of this quarrel in an ` Autobiographical narrative ' appended to a fourth , 1786 , edition of the poems .   Now supported by Frederick Hervey , 4th Earl of Bristol , Yearsley published Poems , on Various Subjects in 1787 . A Poem on the Inhumanity of the Slave-Trade appeared in 1788 . Her poem was considered by many critics to rival a similar poem written by her ex-patron Hannah More entitled , `` Slavery : A Poem '' .   She turned to drama with Earl Goodwin : an Historical Play ( performed in 1789 ; printed in 1791 ) and to novel-writing with The Royal Captives : a Fragment of Secret History , Copied from an Old Manuscript ( 1795 ) . Her final collection of poetry , The Rural Lyre , appeared in 1796 . She was one of many prominent Bristol women who campaigned against the Bristol slave trade .

neg: Confessional poetry Confessional poetry or Confessionalism is a style of poetry that emerged in the United States during the 1950s . It has been described as poetry `` of the personal '' , focusing on extreme moments of individual experience , the psyche , and personal trauma , including previously and occasionally still taboo matters such as mental illness , sexuality , and suicide , often set in relation to broader social themes . It is sometimes also classified as Postmodernism .   The school of `` Confessional poetry '' was associated with several poets who redefined American poetry in the 1950s and 1960s , including Robert Lowell , Sylvia Plath , John Berryman , Anne Sexton , Allen Ginsberg , and W. D. Snodgrass .

neg: The Love Song of J. Alfred Prufrock `` The Love Song of J. Alfred Prufrock '' , commonly known as `` Prufrock '' , is the first professionally published poem by American-British poet T. S. Eliot ( 1888 -- 1965 ) . Eliot began writing `` Prufrock '' in February 1910 , and it was first published in the June 1915 issue of Poetry : A Magazine of Verse at the instigation of Ezra Pound ( 1885 -- 1972 ) . It was later printed as part of a twelve-poem pamphlet ( or chapbook ) titled Prufrock and Other Observations in 1917 . At the time of its publication , Prufrock was considered outlandish , but is now seen as heralding a paradigmatic cultural shift from late 19th-century Romantic verse and Georgian lyrics to Modernism .   The poem 's structure was heavily influenced by Eliot 's extensive reading of Dante Alighieri and makes several references to the Bible and other literary works -- including William Shakespeare 's plays Henry IV Part II , Twelfth Night , and Hamlet , the poetry of seventeenth-century metaphysical poet John Donne , and the nineteenth-century French Symbolists . Eliot narrates the experience of Prufrock using the stream of consciousness technique developed by his fellow Modernist writers . The poem , described as a `` drama of literary anguish '' , is a dramatic interior monologue of an urban man , stricken with feelings of isolation and an incapability for decisive action that is said `` to epitomize frustration and impotence of the modern individual '' and `` represent thwarted desires and modern disillusionment '' .   Prufrock laments his physical and intellectual inertia , the lost opportunities in his life and lack of spiritual progress , and he is haunted by reminders of unattained carnal love . With visceral feelings of weariness , regret , embarrassment , longing , emasculation , sexual frustration , a sense of decay , and an awareness of mortality , `` Prufrock '' has become one of the most recognised voices in modern literature .

The program was the result of a compromise by NBC Universal 's then-CEO Jeff Zucker to keep Jay Leno with the company following his retirement from The Tonight Show and replacement with Conan O'Brien . The Jay Leno Show was also intended to provide NBC with an alternative to the high-cost scripted dramas aired by competing networks in its time slot ; the network believed that the lower cost of production , in combination with product placement deals , meant that the program did not necessarily have to be highly viewed in order to turn a profit . NBC hoped to attract Leno 's existing fans , as well as a larger primetime audience than that of his late-night program .   The Jay Leno Show was met with mixed reception from critics , who felt that the series had little differentiation from Leno 's Tonight Show . Others were critical of NBC 's decision to give up an hour of its weeknight lineup to Leno , due to the network 's past success with dramas airing in the time slot , while one NBC affiliate notably planned to not air the show at all , although this decision was retracted due to complaints by the network . Although viewership of The Jay Leno Show was initially on par with NBC 's projections , by November , the program 's ratings began to fall significantly . NBC 's affiliates complained that the declining viewership of The Jay Leno Show also had a ripple effect on the viewership of their late local newscasts . In an effort to address the concerns , NBC announced in January 2010 that it would , following the 2010 Winter Olympics , shorten The Jay Leno Show to a half-hour , and move it to 11:35 p.m -- the timeslot that had been occupied by The Tonight Show for nearly 60 years , and bump Tonight to 12:05 a.m.   NBC 's decision resulted in a major public conflict between the network and Conan O'Brien , who asserted that the move would damage the highly respected Tonight Show franchise , and that he would not participate in the program if it were moved to 12:05 . Despite much support for O'Brien from both the public and media professionals alike , NBC maintained its plan to move Leno to 11:35 . On January 21 , 2010 , NBC reached a $ 45 million settlement with O'Brien in order to end his contract . The Jay Leno Show ended on February 9 , 2010 , after being on the air for only four months , with Entertainment Weekly calling the program television 's `` Biggest Bomb of All Time . '' Leno resumed his duties as host of The Tonight Show on March 1 , 2010 , in a final stint that lasted until his February 2014 succession by Jimmy Fallon .

neg: The X-Files (season 9) The ninth season of the American science fiction television series The X-Files commenced airing in the United States on November 11 , 2001 , concluded on May 19 , 2002 , and consists of twenty episodes . The season takes place after Fox Mulder ( David Duchovny ) goes into hiding , following the events of the eighth season finale , `` Existence '' . As such , the main storyarc for the season follows Dana Scully ( Gillian Anderson ) , John Doggett ( Robert Patrick ) , and Monica Reyes ( Annabeth Gish ) on their hunt to reveal a government conspiracy involving the elaborate creation of `` Super Soldiers '' .   For this season , former series ' leads Duchovny and Anderson scaled back their involvement with the show , with the former only starring in the two episodes that formed the season finale , `` The Truth '' . Doggett and Reyes became the show 's central characters , and former recurring character Walter Skinner ( Mitch Pileggi ) became a main character . Series creator Chris Carter had hopes that the show could continue on with new leads , and the opening credits were accordingly redesigned again .   Season nine received mixed reviews by critics and garnered negative reaction from many long-time fans and viewers , partially because Duchovny did not make regular appearances on the show , after fulfilling his contract in the previous season . During this year , ratings for the season fell dramatically . Critics blamed it on what they considered an increasingly incoherent story arc , whilst the cast and crew ascribed the drop in viewership to the September 11 attacks . Regardless , Fox eventually decided to cancel the series . During the airing of season eight , Carter and The X-Files production team had created and aired a spinoff titled The Lone Gunmen . The show was unsuccessful and was cancelled before any story arcs were resolved , but The X-Files episode `` Jump the Shark '' was written to give closure to the series . The X-Files storyline was continued with the 2008 theatrical film The X Files : I Want to Believe and later with a tenth season in 2016 .

It began airing on January 22 , 2016 in the U.S. , U.K. , and Germany , with an early release of the show available in December 2015 .   The plot is a `` cocktail of testosterone and bad decision-making '' , focused on the angst of a group of 40-something underachieving American men who become caught in a `` vacation from hell '' .   The cast is a unique blend of film actors with mostly episodic television credits to their name , including Billy Zane as a man wealthy from underworld connections who invites his friends for a stay in Belize , Michael Imperioli as an irresponsible but good-hearted former traveling musician , Romany Malco as a family man , and Ben Chaplin ( who starred in the Zane role in the UK version of the show ) as an embittered teacher . The show 's few women actors , including Allison Tolman and María Botto ( reprising her role from the UK series ) , provide contrast to the male leads .   Showrunner Cris Cole adapted the show from his own drama in the UK . It was originally under development at the FX network . Cole noted that because the American version is 10 hours to the British version 's first season 's four hours , the last six hours of the American version are `` virgin territory '' and have no comparative to the original .   Rights to air the show were sold by Sony Pictures Television for more than 140 countries prior to the initial Amazon airing .

query: Lilith translates to something.

pos: Lilith Lilith ( -LSB- ˈlɪlɪθ -RSB- לִילִית Lîlîṯ ) is a figure in Jewish mythology , developed earliest in the Babylonian Talmud ( 3rd to 5th centuries ) . The character is generally thought to derive in part from a historically far earlier class of female demons ( lilītu ) in ancient Mesopotamian religion , found in cuneiform texts of Sumer , the Akkadian Empire , Assyria , and Babylonia .   Evidence in later Jewish materials is plentiful , but little information has survived relating to the original Sumerian , Akkadian , Assyrian and Babylonian view of these demons . While the connection is almost universally agreed upon , recent scholarship has disputed the relevance of two sources previously used to connect the Jewish lilith to an Akkadian lilītu -- the Gilgamesh appendix and the Arslan Tash amulets . ( See below for discussion of the two problematic sources . )   In Hebrew-language texts , the term lilith or lilit ( translated as `` night creatures '' , `` night monster '' , `` night hag '' , or `` screech owl '' ) first occurs in a list of animals in Isaiah 34:14 , either in singular or plural form according to variations in the earliest manuscripts . In the Dead Sea Scrolls 4Q510-511 , the term first occurs in a list of monsters . In Jewish magical inscriptions on bowls and amulets from the 6th century CE onwards , Lilith is identified as a female demon and the first visual depictions appear .   In Jewish folklore , from the satirical book Alphabet of Sirach ( ca. 700 -- 1000 ) onwards , Lilith appears as Adam 's first wife , who was created at the same time ( Rosh Hashanah ) and from the same dirt as Adam -- compare Genesis 1:27 . ( This contrasts with Eve , who was created from one of Adam 's ribs : Genesis 2:22 ) The legend developed extensively during the Middle Ages , in the tradition of Aggadah , the Zohar , and Jewish mysticism . For example , in the 13th-century writings of Isaac ben Jacob ha-Cohen , Lilith left Adam after she refused to become subservient to him and then would not return to the Garden of Eden after she had coupled with the archangel Samael .   The resulting Lilith legend continues to serve as source material in modern Western culture , literature , occultism , fantasy , and horror .

neg: Gehenna Gehenna , ( -LSB- gɪˈhɛnə -RSB- γέεννα ) , from the Hebrew Gehinnom ( Rabbinical : / ) , is a small valley in Jerusalem and the Jewish and Christian analogue of hell . The terms are derived from a place outside ancient Jerusalem known in the Hebrew Bible as the Valley of the Son of Hinnom ( Hebrew : or , Gai Ben-Hinnom '' ) . The Valley of Hinnom is the modern name for the valley surrounding Jerusalem 's Old City , including Mount Zion , from the west and south . It meets and merges with the Kidron Valley , the other principal valley around the Old City , near the southeastern corner of the city .   In the Hebrew Bible , Gehenna was initially where some of the kings of Judah sacrificed their children by fire . Thereafter it was deemed to be cursed .   In Jewish Rabbinic literature , and Christian and Islamic scripture , Gehenna is a destination of the wicked . This is different from the more neutral Sheol/Hades , the abode of the dead , although the King James Version of the Bible usually translates both with the Anglo-Saxon word Hell .   In the King James Version of the Bible , the term appears 13 times in 11 different verses as `` Valley of Hinnom '' , `` Valley of the son of Hinnom '' or `` Valley of the children of Hinnom . ''

neg: Baal Baal ( -LSB- ˈbeɪəl -RSB- ) , properly Baʿal ( -LSB- ; -LSB- ; -LSB- , -LSB- ˈbaʕal -RSB- ) , was a title and honorific meaning `` lord '' in the Northwest Semitic languages spoken in the Levant during antiquity . From its use among people , it came to be applied to gods . Scholars previously associated the theonym with solar cults and with a variety of unrelated patron deities , but inscriptions have shown that the name Baʿal was particularly associated with the storm and fertility god Hadad and his local manifestations .   The Hebrew Bible , compiled and curated over a span of centuries , includes early use of the term in reference to God ( known to them as Yahweh ) , generic use in reference to various Levantine deities , and finally pointed application towards Hadad , who was decried as a false god . That use was taken over into Christianity and Islam , sometimes under the opprobrious form Beelzebub in demonology .

neg: Maeve Maeve , Maev or Maiv is a female given name of Irish origin . It was spelled Medb in Old Irish ( -LSB- mɛðv -RSB- ) , Meḋḃ , Meaḋḃ in Middle Irish , Meadhbh in early modern Irish ( -LSB- mɛɣv -RSB- ) , and is now spelled Méabh ( -LSB- mʲeːv -RSB- ) or Medbh in modern Irish . It is usually Anglicised as Maeve -LSB- ˈmeɪv -RSB- , with variants such as Maev , Meave , Maive , and Maebh . The name means ` intoxicating ' or ` she who intoxicates ' and has strong links to mead , an ancient honey wine typically consumed during a marriage ceremony . It is rooted in the Irish legend of Queen Maeve or Medb , one of the main protagonists of the early Irish legend Táin Bó Cúailnge . It is also associated with the fairy queen Queen Mab of Irish and English legend .

neg: Lucifer (magazine) Lucifer was a journal published by Helena Blavatsky . The first edition was issued in September 1887 in London .

neg: Mel (given name) Mel can be the abbreviated version of the given names Melvyn , Melvin , Melanie , Melina , Melinda , Melissa , Melody , Melitta , Melchior or Melville . It is also a standalone name from the Gaelic Maol , meaning bald ; this was used to refer to tonsured men to mean servant , as in `` Maol-Iosa '' - Servant of Jesus .

neg: Mormolykeia In Greek mythology , the Mormolykeia ( English translation : `` terrible wolves '' ) were female underworld Daemons , attendants of the goddess Hecate . They were identified with mormos , female vampire-like creatures .

neg: Fallen angel A fallen angel is a wicked or rebellious angel that has been cast out of heaven . The term `` fallen angel '' does not appear in the Bible , but it is used of angels who sinned ( such as those referred to in , `` For if God did not spare angels when they sinned , but cast them into hell and committed them to chains of gloomy darkness to be kept until the judgment ... '' ) , of angels cast down to the earth in the War in Heaven , of Satan , demons , or of certain Watchers . The term has become popular in fictional literature regarding angels .   Mention of angels who descended to Mount Hermon ( not `` fell '' to Earth ) is found in the Book of Enoch , which the Ethiopian Orthodox Church and Eritrean Orthodox Tewahedo Church accept as canonical , as well as in various pseudepigrapha .

neg: Barsoomian language Barsoomian is the constructed language of the fictional Barsoomians , the sapient humanoid inhabitants of Mars in the Barsoom series of novels by Edgar Rice Burroughs . It was developed from Burroughs ' examples and descriptions by Paul Frommer for the 2012 film John Carter of Mars ; Frommer also created the Na ' vi language for Avatar .   Spoken Barsoomian has mostly lexical words , with the equivalent of grammatical words such as prepositions and pronouns conveyed telepathically . There are few inflections , and word order is fixed to verb -- subject -- object . Possession is indicated by juxtaposing the object with the possessor , as in Malay . There is a word that makes direct object definite , as in Hebrew . The vocabulary is relatively simple , with little poetic language .   Some inflection is found in the pronouns . For the object , the initial consonant is suffixed : tu `` I '' , tut `` me '' ; ki `` he '' , kik `` him '' . To form the plural , the consonants are voiced : du `` we '' , dud `` us '' , gi `` they '' .   The effect of the language is staccato . There are ten vowels , five long and five short , transcribed short a e i o u and long aa ey ee oa oo ; diphthongs are ao ( as in how ) and ay ( as in high ) . Consonants are similar to English ( b d j g , p t -LSB- linktʃtj -RSB- k , v z , f -LSB- linkθth -RSB- s h , r l , m n , w y ) , with the addition of the velar fricatives ch -LSB- blinkx -RSB- and gh -LSB- blinkɣ -RSB- . Consonants , both voiced and unvoiced , may also be long or short .   In the books it is mentioned that Barsoomian is the only language spoken on the entire planet of Barsoom . Therefore , there never are any language barriers between different people from Barsoom , no matter what country or city on the planet they originate from . Written versions of Barsoomian however can differ greatly between different cities .

neg: Queen Mab Queen Mab ( pronunciation : `` M / ă / v '' ) is a fairy referred to in William Shakespeare 's play Romeo and Juliet , where `` she is the fairies ' midwife . '' Later , she appears in other poetry and literature , and in various guises in drama and cinema . In the play , her activity is described in a famous speech by Mercutio written originally in prose and often adapted into iambic pentameter , in which she is described as a miniature creature who performs midnight pranks upon sleepers . Being driven by a team of atomies , she rides her chariot over their noses and `` delivers the fancies of sleeping men . '' Additionally , while driving `` O'er ladies ' lips , who straight on kisses dream , '' she was known to change her mind and instead `` plague '' `` ladies ' lips '' `` with blisters '' if she smelled `` sweetmeats '' or candied fruit eaten to sweeten their breath . Along with this interpretation , others believe the blisters were a reference to the plague or to herpes simplex . She is also described as a midwife to help sleepers ` give birth ' to their dreams . She may be a figure borrowed from folklore , and though she is often associated with the Irish Medb in popular culture , and has been suggested by historian Thomas Keightley to be from Habundia , a more likely origin for her name would be from Mabel and the Middle English derivative `` Mabily '' ( as used by Chaucer ) all from the Latin amabilis ( `` lovable '' ) .

neg: Ki (goddess) Cuneiform KI ( Borger 2003 nr . 737 ; U +121 A0 ) is the sign for `` earth '' . It is also read as GI5 , GUNNI ( = KI.NE ) `` hearth '' , KARAŠ ( = KI.KAL.BAD ) `` encampment , army '' , KISLAḪ ( = KI.UD ) `` threshing floor '' or steath , and SUR7 ( = KI.GAG ) . In Akkadian orthography , it functions as a determiner for toponyms and has the syllabic values gi , ge , qi , and qe .   As an earth goddess in Sumerian mythology , Ki was the chief consort of An , the sky god . In some legends Ki and An were brother and sister , being the offspring of Anshar ( `` Sky Pivot '' ) and Kishar ( `` Earth Pivot '' ) , earlier personifications of heaven and earth .   By her consort Anu , Ki gave birth to the Anunnaki , the most prominent of these deities being Enlil , god of the air . According to legends , heaven and earth were once inseparable until Enlil was born ; Enlil cleaved heaven and earth in two . An carried away heaven . Ki , in company with Enlil , took the earth .   Some authorities question whether Ki was regarded as a deity since there is no evidence of a cult and the name appears only in a limited number of Sumerian creation texts . Samuel Noah Kramer identifies Ki with the Sumerian mother goddess Ninhursag and claims that they were originally the same figure .   She later developed into the Babylonian and Akkadian goddess Antu , consort of the god Anu ( from Sumerian An ) .

neg: Lilith (Lurianic Kabbalah) In the teachings of Rabbi Isaac Luria , it is said that there are many Liliths . Manasseh Matlub Sithon said `` many Liliths and demons are abroad , and go up and down . ''   The greatest of these is the wife of Adam Qadmon , a being that God used as an avatar to create the Universe in all its ten or more dimensions , hence a multiverse .   Another , more demonic Lilith , known as the woman of whoredom , is found in the Zohar book 1:5 a . She is Samael ( Satan ) 's feminine counterpart .   The Lilith that most are familiar with is the wife of Adam in the Alphabet of Ben Sira ( 8th to 10th centuries CE ) , known as Adam ha Rishon , `` the common man , '' among kabbalists .   There are mixed views of Lilith in the Zohar . In one account she is Samael 's counterpart and a mother of demons . In another she is seen seducing the fallen angels as Naamah ; the angels Azza and Azazael after they challenge the Shekhinah ( the feminine dwelling presence of God ) over the creation of man . This is alluded in the Zohar book 1 :19 a-b , 23a-b , 27a-b respectively . When Lilith and Naamah ( another aspect of Lilith ) were with Adam in his 130-year separation from Eve after the fall , they had daughters born from their union . These were the nashiym , the lilim , the liloth spirits who were the ones who seduced the Watchers . These daughters along with Lilith and Naamah are restored to Adam through the Wisdom of Solomon , the aspect of the Shekhinah , ( referred to as the two prostitutes and the Nashiym in chapters 4 and 5 in the Zohar the Book of Concealment the Sifri D Tsri-nita ) .   Luria interpreted Book of Isaiah chapter 34:14 -15 to mean Lilith would find her rest . From these passages rabbi Isaac Luria believed that Lilith was to be restored to Adam through the marriage of Leah to Jacob -- Jacob was Adam , Leah was Lilith , and Rachel was Eve .  It must be understood this one of many interpretations concerning the Zohar and of Lilith .

neg: Levana Levana ( from Latin levare , `` to lift '' ) is an ancient Roman goddess involved in rituals pertaining to childbirth . Augustine says that dea Levana is invoked when the child is lifted de terra , from the earth or ground . Her function may be paralleled by the Greek Artemis Orthia , if interpreted as the Artemis who lifts or raises children .   It is sometimes supposed that Levana was invoked in a ceremony by which the father lifted the child to acknowledge it as his own , but the existence of such a ceremony is based on tenuous evidence and contradicted by Roman law pertaining to legitimacy of birth . More likely , Levana was the goddess who oversaw the lifting of the child by the midwife immediately after birth . Kneeling or squatting was a more common position for childbirth in antiquity , and the newborn probably came to rest on the ground before the umbilical cord was cut .

neg: Lola (given name) Lola is a feminine given name in German , Spanish and other language groups .   It is a short form of the Spanish name Dolores , meaning `` sorrows '' , taken from one of the titles of the Virgin Mary : Nuestra Señora de los Dolores , or Our Lady of Sorrows . Lola is also a short form of the unrelated German name Aloisia . The name Lola is also common in Africa ; in Nigeria , many feminine names are shortened to Lola , such as Temilola , Omolola or Damilola . Lola ( Tajik for tulip ) is also a feminine name in Uzbekistan , Tajikistan , and Afghanistan . It is derived from the Persian لاله or lâleh .  The short form Lola has been rising in popularity in several countries in the past decade . It was the 270th most popular name for baby girls born in the United States in 2007 , up from 279th place in 2006 and 375th place in 2005 ; was ranked as the 64th most popular name for baby girls in Spain in 2006 ; was ranked as the 51st most popular name for baby girls in England and Wales in 2007 ; was the 17th most popular name for baby girls in France in 2004 ; and was the 20th most popular name for baby girls in Belgium in 2006 .   Though the name originated with a title for the Blessed Virgin Mary , mother of Jesus Christ , Lola has also acquired a number of contrasting sensual associations . American authors Pamela Redmond Satran and Linda Rosenkrantz noted in their 2008 book Cool Names for Babies that the name has a sultry image and that people associate the name with the song `` Whatever Lola Wants , Lola Gets '' from the musical Damn Yankees , in which the character of Lola is the Devil 's `` best homewrecker . '' The name also has associations with the Irish-born Lola Montez , who became famous in the nineteenth century as an actress , Spanish dancer , courtesan and mistress of King Ludwig I of Bavaria .   Lolita is a Spanish diminutive form of Lola , The name 's sexually charged image in certain countries is also due to associations with Lola , a 1970 song by The Kinks about a young man 's encounter with a transvestite named Lola .   The title character in the 1998 German feature film Run Lola Run may also have raised the name 's profile , as has Lola , a clever and inquisitive child character in a recently published series of children 's picture books by Lauren Child .   The naming of several children of celebrities in the past decade has increased the popularity of the name . Madonna uses the nickname `` Lola '' for her daughter Lourdes Leon , born in 1996 . Entertainers Kelly Ripa , Chris Rock , Denise Richards and Charlie Sheen , Carnie Wilson and Annie Lennox all have daughters named Lola . The name was also used for a granddaughter of Camilla Parker Bowles .

neg: Curse and mark of Cain The curse of Cain and the mark of Cain are phrases that originated in the story of Adam and Eve in the Jewish and Christian Bibles . In the stories , if someone did something to harm Cain , the damage would come back sevenfold . Some interpretations view this as a physical mark , whereas other interpretations see the `` mark '' as a sign , and not as a physical marking on Cain himself . The King James Version of the Bible reads `` set a mark upon Cain '' .

neg: Citlalicue In Aztec mythology , Citlalicue ( -LSB- sitɬaːˈlikʷe -RSB- ) `` star garment '' ; also Citlalinicue ( -LSB- sitɬaːliˈnikʷe -RSB- ) , Ilamatecuhtli ( -LSB- ilamaːˈteːkʷtɬi -RSB- ) was a creator goddess who created the stars along with her husband , Citlalatonac , the Milky Way , Earth , and also death and darkness . This pair of gods are sometimes associated with the first pair of humans , Nata and Nena .

neg: Madrigal (poetry) Madrigal ( madrigale ) is the name of a form of poetry , the exact nature of which has never been decided in English .   The definition given in the New English Dictionary , `` a short lyrical poem of amatory character , '' offers no distinctive formula ; some madrigals are long , and many have nothing whatever to do with love . The most important English collection of madrigals , not set to music , was published by William Drummond of Hawthornden ( 1585 -- 1649 ) in his Poems of 1616 . Perhaps the best way of ascertaining what was looked upon in the 17th century as a madrigal is to quote one of Drummond 's :  The beauty and the life Of life 's and beauty 's fairest paragon , O tears ! O grief ! hung at a feeble thread , To which pale Atropos had set her knife ; The soul with many a groan Had left each outward part , And now did take his last leave of the heart ; Nought else did want , save death , even to be dead ; When the afflicted band about her bed , Seeing so fair him come in lips , cheeks , eyes , Cried ah ! and can death enter Paradise ?  This may be taken as a type of Drummond 's madrigals , of which he has left us about eighty . They are serious , brief , irregular lyrics , in which neither the amatory nor the complimentary tone is by any means obligatory . Some of these pieces contain as few as six lines , one as many as fourteen , but they average from nine to eleven . In the majority of examples the little poem opens with a line of six syllables , and no line extends beyond ten syllables . The madrigal appears to be a short canzone of the Tuscan type , but less rigidly constructed . In French the madrigal has not this Italian character . It is simply a short piece of verse , ingenious in its turn and of a gallant tendency . The idea of compliment is essential . J. F. Guichard ( 1730 -- 1811 ) writes : `` Orgon , poke marital , A Venus compare sa femme ; C'est pour la belle un madrigal , C'est pour Venus une epigramme . ''   This quatrain emphasizes the fact that in French a madrigal is a trifling piece of erotic compliment , neatly turned but not seriously meant . The credit of inventing the old French verse form of madrigal belongs to Clément Marot , and one of his may be quoted in contrast to that of Drummond :  Un doux nenni avec un doux sourire Est tant honneste , it le vous faut apprendre ; Quant est de oui , si veniez a le dire , D'avoir trop dit je voudrois vous reprendre ; Non que je sois ennuye d'entreprendre D'avoir le fruit dont le desir me point ; Mais je voudrois qu'en ne le laissant prendre , Vous me disiez : vous ne l'aurez point .  In English , when the word first occurred -- it has not been traced farther back than 1588 ( in the preface to Nicholas Yonge 's Musica transalpina ) -- it was identified with the chief form of secular vocal music in the 16th century . In 1741 , John Immyns ( 1700 -- 1764 ) founded the Madrigal Society , which met in an ale-house in Bride Lane , Fleet Street ; this association still exists , and is the oldest musical society in Europe .   The word `` madrigal '' is frequently also used to designate a sentimental or trifling expression in a half-contemptuous sense .

neg: Eingana Eingana is a creator goddess in Australian Aboriginal mythology . Otherwise known as the `` Dreamtime Snake '' she is the mother of all water animals , and humans . She is a snake goddess of death who lives in the Dreamtime . She has no vagina ; she simply grew in size and , unable to give birth to the life inside her , had the god Barraiya open a hole with a spear near her anus so that labour could commence . Eingana holds a sinew that is attached to every living thing ; if she lets go of one , the attached creature dies .

neg: Matres and Matronae The Matres ( Latin `` mothers '' ) and Matronae ( Latin `` matrons '' ) were female deities venerated in Northwestern Europe from the first to the fifth century . They are depicted on votive offerings and altars that bear images of goddesses , depicted almost entirely in groups of three , that feature inscriptions ( about half of which feature Continental Celtic names and half of which feature Germanic names ) that were venerated in regions of Germania , Eastern Gaul , and Northern Italy ( with a small distribution elsewhere ) that were occupied by the Roman army from the first to the fifth century .   Information about the religious practices surrounding the Matres is limited to the stones on which their depictions and inscriptions are found , of which over 1,100 exist . The Germanic Matres have been connected with the later Germanic dísir , valkyries , and norns attested largely in 13th century sources .   Matres also appear on votive reliefs and inscriptions in other areas occupied by the Roman army , including southeast Gaul , as at Vertillum ; in Spain and Portugal , where some twenty inscriptions are known , among them several ones which include local epithets like a dedication to the Matribus Gallaicis `` to the Galician Mothers '' ; and also in the Romano-Celtic culture of Pannonia in the form of similar reliefs and inscriptions to the Nutrices Augustae , `` the august Nurses '' found in Roman sites of Ptuj , Lower Styria .

neg: Dianic Wicca Dianic Wicca , also known as Dianic Witchcraft is a neopagan religion of female-centered goddess worship and religious witchcraft . While some adherents identify as Wiccan , it differs from most traditions of Wicca in that only goddesses are worshiped ( whereas most Wiccan traditions honor both female and male deities ) .   While there is more than one tradition that calls itself Dianic , the best known is the female-only variety , founded by Zsuzsanna Budapest in the United States in the 1970s . It is notable for its worship of a single Goddess and focus on egalitarian , matriarchal feminism . It is named after the Roman goddess Diana , but Dianics worship goddesses from many cultures , seeing them as `` aspects '' of a monotheistic goddess . Dianic Wicca is an eclectic combination of elements from British Traditional Wicca , Italian folk-magic as recorded by Charles Leland in Aradia , feminist values , folk magic and healing practices from a variety of different cultures .
