 Farewell, My Lovely - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Farewell, My Lovely is a 1940 novel by Raymond Chandler, the second novel he wrote featuring Los Angeles private eye Philip Marlowe.
Although written after The Big Sleep (1939), Farewell, My Lovely was the first Marlowe story to be filmed: In 1942 The Falcon Takes Over, a 65 minute film, was released which was based on Farewell, My Lovely.
In 1944 Dick Powell played the part of the hard-boiled detective in a classic film noir which was alternatively entitled Murder, My Sweet and Farewell, My Lovely—still two years before, in 1946, Humphrey Bogart was offered the role of Philip Marlowe in The Big Sleep.

 Poets.org - Poetry, Poems, Bios & More - Farewell Poems
Farewell poems take an astounding variety of forms: poets have found it necessary, over the ages, to say goodbye not only to lovers, friends, and family, but also to their youth, the courtly life, the twentieth century, a rhinoceros, traffic, even the fairies of England.
Farewell poems can carry with them meditations on mortality, as poets come to realize that each earthly farewell is a preparation for the final farewell.
What distinguishes a farewell poem from an elegy or a poem of lost love is the understanding that there might be a natural order in hellos and goodbyes--the tone of a farewell poem might be melancholy, but it can also be celebratory, or sweet, or even silly.

 Jesusfreakhideout.com: Petra, "Petra Farewell" Review
Although the legendary band is still touring their final dates, Farewell was recorded on a special night in Nashville during the tour to give the fans one final treat before they hang up their instruments forever.
The live project sounds rather solid for such a quickly produced and released recording (the concert took place on October 4 and the album was released on November 22).
Farewell ends triumphantly with "He Came, He Saw, He Conquered," and by the time fifty-five- year-old frontman John Schlitt shouts, "Thank you for thirty three fantastic years!" as the song fades out, it's hard to believe Petra is finished.

 Jesusfreakhideout.com: Bleach, "Farewell Old Friends" Review
Farewell Old Friends opens humbly with "Write It Down." A sort of declaration of rememberance and teaching, "Write It Down" is classic Bleach on its most pensive level.
Bleach has been a band to always successfully bring together the topics of relationships and Christianity in a way that's relevant and easy to relate to and this record is no exception.
The closer, "Farewell Old Friends," is heavy on emotion and is musically one of the most beautiful songs the band has ever written.

 King Benjamin's Farewell Address, 124 B.C.
King Benjamin desired to give a farewell address to the people and to declare that his son Mosiah would now be king.
More of these elements are present in King Benjamin's speech than in any other Biblical farewell address, making it arguably the best example on record of an ancient farewell speech in the ancient Jewish style.
Benjamin's speech is not only one of the most complete ancient farewell addresses known anywhere, but it also strongly manifests those elements that are most deeply rooted in early biblical tradition.

 Ba wang bie ji (1993)   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-01)
As far as story and content goes this owes more than a little to The Last Emperor (1987), which is not surprising since Director Kaige Chen was a member of the cast of that film and no doubt was influenced by its success.
While the former focused on the emperor and those around him, "Farewell..." focuses on two actors of the Beijing opera.
Admittedly, "Farewell..." is long (I saw the 157-minute version) and sometimes strays from it intent, but gains and maintains power and keeps our interest mainly because everything is presented in a starkly-lit, intensely focused manner.
