words and gestures Although no one whistled at Waterloo, one might whistle waterloo. THE IMITATIVE THEORY The imitative instinct is not the artist's private possession A boy can play cops. This natural tendency to imitate is combined, Aristotle says, with a tendency toward rhythm or pattern, and the result can be a work of art. In its simplest form the imitative theory appeals to the naive " How lifelike that wax apple is!" "How like a Frenchman that actor looks!" THE IMITATIVE THEORY Aristotle theory includes such a close copy of nature as a wax apple, but it goes farther. Artist refines nature, showing not what happened but what should happened in a world free from accident. The artist does not imitate servilely (), he recreates reality and presents it to us in a fashion in which we see its essence more clearly. The artist's imitation is more than a copy of what is
Plus the ghosts from the past come haunting again and his feelings towards Alexa become stronger by the day. Everything would be less complicated if Alexa had not found herself a new boyfriend and had not moved to England. Basically the last stage of this book concentrates on his pursuit of happiness. He makes unthinkable efforts and stupidities to prove Alexa that he loves her and that he wants to be with her. He even goes back to England, but discovers that he has become more of a Frenchman than an Englishman and he starts to dislike English manners. "Merde Actually" ends with him going alone to a Christmas holiday in France, since Alexa stands him up, or that is what he thinks. Finally they still meet, because Alexa just runs late, like all the French do. It seems like a happy ending, but actually the trouble just begins, with Paul's bag and passport gone with the train. For me, it was an easy book to read, since it was really fascinating. Stephen Clarke

pains to listen each evening to the BBC news, even though he could understand nothing of it. Just to be in the presence of those sounds at 7 P.m. each day was important for him. His attitude to speech was like ours to melody-the resonant intonation was meaning enough. In the seventeenth century our ancestors still shared this native's attitude to the forms of media, as is plain in the following sentiment of the Frenchman Bernard Lam expressed in The Art o f Speaking (London, 1696): 'Tis an effect of the Wisdom of God, who created Man to be happy, that whatever is useful to his conversation (way of life) is agreeable to him . . . because all victual that conduces to nourishment is relishable, whereas other things that cannot be assimulated and be turned into our substance are insipid.

Brunel used the technique for sinking the piers of his bridge at Chepstow, Wales (UK) and, on a much grander scale, on the Royal Albert Bridge (1859) over the Tamar at Saltash in Cornwall (Figure 8). Here, the central pier was built on a wrought-iron caisson 37ft (11m) in diameter, sunk to bedrock in 70ft (21m) of water and 16ft (5m) of mud. Another improvement in foundations in the early 19th century involved hydraulic cement. A better scientific understanding of the material by the Frenchman Vicat and the Englishman Aspdin and discovery of the material in a natural state in 1796 on the Isle of Sheppey in the Thames estuary, by Lafarge at Le Teil (France), and by Canvass White on the Erie Canal in New York in 1818, led to its use in sinking foundations by the new method of direct flow into coffer dams underwater, as at the suspension bridge at Tournon (France) in 1824. Hydraulic cement had the amazing ability to set
But, to the quick o' the ulcer:— Hamlet comes back: what would you undertake, To show yourself your father's son in deed More than in words? LAERTES To cut his throat i' the church.

Magdalene." She glanced at me, her mouth tight, and then it softened with a sigh that sounded filled with resignation. "Thank you. It was time for a change. Time for many changes, I think. Also, there was no reason to imitate the one who got away now that she's back." I frowned in confusion. "You lost me." "I'm talking about Corinne." She studied my face. "You don't know. She and Gideon were engaged, for over a year. She broke it off, married a wealthy Frenchman, and moved to Europe. But the marriage fell apart. They're now getting divorced and she's moved back to New York." Engaged. I felt the blood drain from my face, my gaze shifting to where the man I loved stood with the woman he must've once loved, his hand moving to the small of her back to steady her as she leaned into him with a laugh. As my stomach twisted with jealousy and sick fear, it struck me that I'd assumed he had never had a serious romantic relationship before me
