  Morning off, and then gets his beautiful picture album. Any guesses to the type of pictures? maybe it be for his miniatures to keep safe.

  “This day my brave vellum covers to keep pictures in, come in,…”

  Look at this Faithorne:

  following JBW’s lead. It is an education in the art of “come on up to see me etchings” the olde excuse to seduce a young maiden. The Leads for Faithorne cover much of Art, which leads to Will: Blake Anothe famous printer poet..

  Interesting use of the word “brave”. I do not recognise any such modern usage.

  “began composition of musique”
  Oh, Sam! Why no details?

• N Brian McMullen on Sat 15 Jan 2005, 03:06pm

  I have not read ahead so I also await more details of this “composition of musique”. On the other hand, I have seen his portrait with the music sheet in his hand so music appears to be of immense importance to our man.

  brave.

  We’ve met the word in this sort of context before. Splendid, handsome etc. cf. Shakespeare’s “O brave new world ….”

  If anyone’s interested, the Greek text at the top of JWB’s Embleme link reads “mono to theo doxa”: ‘only to God glory’ (or, in more natural English, ‘glory to God alone’).

• N JWB on Sat 15 Jan 2005, 05:53pm

  brave…
  Last year (‘61) Sam wrote “brave moon”. Also Nat’l Portrait Gallery has 11 pgs of Faithornes: http://www.npg.org.uk/live/search/person.asp?LinkID=mp01525&role=art&page=1

  Interestingly, the Welsh language preserved this meaning of the word “brave” when we borrowed the word from either French or English- we say “Mae’n braf heddiw” to mean “it [the weather] is fine today”

  Mr Debne was on his knees asking for forgiveness for arresting a Privilege member and had to pay a fee for his thoughtlessness..
