	Ireland
		Young Général Jean-Joseph-Amable Humbert (the landing occurred on his 31st birthday), a canny veteran of irregular warfare against the insurgents of the Vendée, was well aware of the odds against him in a conventional military showdown, but also of the multiplying effects of surprise and speed.
		Humbert, closely questioning the locals, learned that there was an alternative route to Castlebar, a barely-practicable goat-trail that ran west of Lough Conn, over the Windy Gap pass, and then south to the town.
		Général Humbert served along the Rhine and in Switzerland in 1799, in the Army of the West in 1800, and in Santo Domingo in 1801-02.

	Humbert Wolfe
		Humbert Wolfe was born in Milan, Italy, in 1885.
		On the death of Robert Bridges in 1930, Wolfe was one of the favourites to become Poet Laureate.
		On the outbreak of the Second World War Wolfe was one of those responsible for drawing up a list of writers who could better serve as propagandists than in the British Army.

		Humbert Wolfe (1886 - 1940) in The Uncelestial City.
		Rather, as far as criticising journalists goes, Humbert Wolfe is a relative newcomer.
		While journalists have always taken a certain amount of verbal abuse from the public, and, as with Wolfe's poem, it can be extremely personal, no one sets out to get a degree in media studies so they can be come an easy target for abuse.

	[minstrels] Requiem: The Soldier -- Humbert Wolfe
		One of those poems with a dreamy, haunting, evocative quality whose words need to be read aloud and savoured.
		It makes me stop and think, and shiver a little, but be thankful for Wolfe's life and skill.
		Wolfe was born in Milan in 1851 but grew up in Bradford, got a First at Oxford and died in 1940.

	Guardian \| Holst: Vedic Hymns; Four Songs for Voice and Violin; Humbert Wolfe Songs, Gritton/ Langridge/ Maltman/ ...
		There aren't so many recordings of Gustav Holst's songs that a collection like this, first released in the English song series on the now defunct Collins Classics label, could be allowed to languish unheard in the archives.
		Most exquisite of all are the Four Songs for soprano and violin, from 1917, when he was still working on The Planets, and which pare down his lyrical invention to its bare essentials.
		Susan Gritton sings those and the Op 16 settings with simple directness, and Philip Langridge in the Wolfe Songs and Christopher Maltman in Vedic Hymns are equally impressive.

	[minstrels] The Grey Squirrel -- Humbert Wolfe
		The keeper on the other hand, who shot him, is a Christian, and loves his enemies, which shows the squirrel was not one of those.
		From: "Matthew Chanoff" Never heard of this Humbert Wolfe before, but the poem has a nice ironic twist and I looked him up.
		Bedeiter, I wonder if you could supply the name of a Humbold Wolfe poem that goes "For to have loved you is an action molding all that I am and setting me apart, As though you were a rose and I a bud unfolding in the silence of your heart"...

		Mr Bagguley persuaded me that Wolfe’s philosophy, however cloudy, was as genuine as his anti-Nazism.

	Autumn Moments
		Pumpkins adorn the porches of homes, fields lie turned and waiting, bales of hay dot the countryside, while the nights are dark and lonely.

		Below are some photos I've taken of the sights of autumn in different places and different times.

		Williams, after all, was a relatively small fish in the pundit ocean — and one who could be counted on to support the administration's policies, even without the benefit of direct financial persuasion.
		Indeed, the sheer volume of cheerleading for the administration among its many media supplicants brings to mind this ditty by the English poet Humbert Wolfe, which has obvious trans-Atlantic applications: "You cannot hope to bribe or twist/(Thank God!) the British journalist./But seeing what the man will do/Unbribed, there's no occasion to."
		But apparently there is occasion which, again, raises the question of what other illegal investments of taxpayer funds have been made along these lines.

		According to Humbert Wolfe in his introduction to A Bibliography of the Golden Cockerel Press (1936), "lovers of the fine arts owe a permanent debt of gratitude to the private printing presses, among which the Golden Cockerel takes a very high place indeed."
