Topic: De Selby


  
  Amphisbæna   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-09)
It can be safely inferred, (13) de Selby says, that there is a further similar fallacy inherent here and that there is in fact only one possible direction properly so-called, because if one leaves any point on the globe, moving and continuing to move in any 'direction', one ultimately reaches the point of departure again.
De Selby likens the position of a human on the earth to that of a man on a tightwire who must continue walking along the wire or perish, being, however, free in all other respects.
De Selby makes no attempt to explain why a 'dark place' such as a cellar need be dark and does not define the atmospheric, physical or mineral conditions which must prevail uniformly in all such places if the theory is to stand.

 Robert Anton Wilson - The Horrow on Howth Hill - Robert Anton Wilson Online Library
De Selby went on in that vein for quite a while, but I sort of lost the thread of his argument--something that often happens to readers of his books, as numerous critics have complained.
Somehow de Selby and "Bob" wandered from the high theological contemplation of divine dongs back to the King himself, and were united in condemning the cheap remakes produced by some Japanese studios and the abominable caricatures of De Laurentiis.
De Selby claims (Golden Hours, Royal Sir Myles na gcopaleen Philosophical Society Press, Dalkey, 1957) that the IlluminatilPriory axis is an attempt to spread electric light everywhere, thereby banishing the "teratclogical molecules" which move backwards in time and generate Chaos, but this must be considered one of the more imaginative flights of the Dalkey sage.

When William de Aslakeby was appointed Abbot in 1280, the Abbey's fortunes improved and it was decided to enlarge the choir.
Selby Abbey Church has survived fire and flood; sinking foundations and falling towers; destruction of religious houses by Henry VIII and vandalism by the armies of Charles I and Oliver Cromwell.

 Three Monkeys Truth is an odd number, and Death is a full stop. Flann O'Brien - Ireland's comic Genius   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-09)
Not only that, but all of de Selby’s theories are nonsensical and recognised as such by the commentators and yet a disproportionate amount of attention is given to these insane ideas.
It is hinted that de Selby has other, reasonable theories, which presumably made his name, but these are never described or discussed by the narrator.
Similarly, the novel proper is “contaminated” by de Selby, with several chapters beginning with the narrator musing on, for example, de Selby’s experiments with water, before returning to the plot of the novel.

 Selby - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia (via CobWeb/3.1 planetlab-6.cs.princeton.edu)   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-09)
It is the main town in the Selby district of the non-metropolitan county of North Yorkshire despite being within the historic boundaries of the West Riding of Yorkshire.
The town of Selby is dominated by Selby Abbey which was founded by Benedict in 1069 and subsequently built by the de Lacy family.
Selby is expanding to become a large town, with new job prospects at the European Science Park in Burn [1] and the expansion of the town as far as the bypass, although this has resulted in the loss of some trade from the town centre.

 De Selby - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
De Selby has a host of critical analyzers, the narrator among them - many of whom have highly conflicting opinions of his esoteric thoughts.
Although generally held in high regard by these people (many of whom hate each other), he is thought by many to have had regrettable lapses and is even called, by implication, a "nincompoop".
American author Robert Anton Wilson used de Selby in footnotes in his novel The Widow's Son.

 LOST writer gives up details in the Chicago Tribune (SP) - Message Board - ezboard.com
His narrative is littered with footnotes on de Selby and his bizarre commentators, these footnotes steadily increasing in size until they swamp the main narrative in chapters nine and eleven.
De Selby is a natural sceptic of all known laws of physics, who cavalierly dismisses the evidence of human experience.
Contributing to the atmosphere of illogic is a series of digressions and footnotes by the narrator on the subject of de Selby and his highly unorthodox theories (he believes the phenomenon of nighttime to be explainable as an accretion of 'fl air'), as well as extended discussions of de Selby's various critics.

I think the narrator is in love with the wisdom of de Selby the way the man on the American street might love the wisdom of, oh, say, L. Ron Hubbard.
De Selby believes, for instance, that the darkness of "night" is created by an accumulation of soot produced by industrial effluvia, and that "sleep" is actually a form of hysterical fainting required by the body because of the lack of oxygen caused by all this soot.
Perhaps it is important in the story I am going to tell to remember that it was for de Selby I committed my first serious sin.

 Blather Archives: time is just memory mixed with desire (June 10th 2000)
Two reasons are primarily responsible for M. de Selby’s lack of wider acceptance in the latter part of the twentieth century.
The foremost reason is that de Selby was a visionary—a man ahead of his time—much as was DaVinci in his age (2).
Le Fournier, in de Selby—l’Énigme de l’Occident says of this incident: "In no other way can one explain so regrettable a lapse." Literally hundreds of aprocryphal stories of de Selby’s odd eccentricities abound.

 Entertainment - 5 November 1998
The writer remained as he was, gazing out over the old slate roofs and rising concrete castles of his beloved town, which shimmered and blossomed like gossamer on an autumn morning.
This was partly due to his use of de Selby's DMP to visit literati no longer conventionally living - the ones that Morgan encountered in his arguably illegal and certainly extra-legal condition tended to indulge in more extreme potations that Nicholas produced in his well-stocked premises.
The thought of his mentor and co-discussant re-engaged the whirring cogs of what he chose to call his mind; 'Days and Nights in Garavans' could wait another day and night - a deadline was not a deadline until one breasted the tape itself.

It is true that Kraus (ace below) gives a forty-page account of certain experiments, mostly concerned with attempts to bottle quantities of 'night' and endless sessions in locked and shuttered bedrooms from which bursts of loud hammering could be heard.
To use the frigid words of Bassett, such information, it is to be feared, makes little contribution to serious deselbiana (sic).' Very little is known of Kraus or his life.
He is said to have disappeared completely from human ken after Hatchjaw had been arrested in a Sheephaven hotel following the unmasking of the de Selby letter scandal by The Times, which made scathing references to Kraus's 'discreditable' machinations in Hamburg and clearly suggested his complicity.

De Selby's Vanishing Chain is named after the great De Selby, a sort of footnote character from the Third Policeman.

The final link is another chain in itself, of single connected molecules that merge into the perfect surface of the table, which reflects both the chain above and those who stare closely at its zero point, from where the links begin to emerge.

 De Selby
ne of the least influential and hence unknown philosophers of modern literature (except to a small group of people living in or with some connection to Ireland), de Selby’s historical and philosophic tracts were instrumental in making the 21st Century possible.
Prior to that, the Millennium as we know it was nothing more than a puff pastry recipe in the minds of a large family in Gaul.
Others charge that de Selby was a crank, although they acknowledge that he masterminded a method of distilling Irish whiskey in less than an hour (he disliked all English whiskeys and actually studied Gaelic for two years on the West Coast of Ireland not far from Doolin), although the process required a special crock.
