Lying in state - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia Lying in state takes place on Parliament Hill in the capital, Ottawa, in the Hall of Honour (for prime ministers) or the Senate Chamber (for governors general). For Queen Elizabeth the Queen Mother's lying-in-state in 2002, the guard was mounted by her four grandsons the Prince of Wales, the Duke of York, the Earl of Wessex and Viscount Linley.

Alexander the Great The old man was reading the lying letter of the despot when he received a mortal stab in his back. Repose from field-work left room for the display of the overbearing pride to be expected from one who had convinced himself that he was a god, and for the boundless flattery of those who found their interest in keeping up the delusion. The soldiers, on hearing of what had been done, furiously demanded the surrender of the murderers, and were with difficulty withheld from taking summary vengeance on seeing the written orders of Alexander. www.1902-encyclopedia.com /A/ALE/alexander-the-great.html   (5867 words)

Lying in State by Butler Shaffer Those who would expose the lies must be discredited: as "paranoids" who believe in conspiracy theories, or "disgruntled employees" who wish to bring discredit upon their erstwhile employer, or "America-haters," "anti-Semites," "racists," or victims of "senility." The state must be forever vigilant against those who reveal what it does not want known. These lies have been strung together by politicians, academicians, special interest groups, and members of the media who have a shared interest in maintaining state power over the lives and property of others in order to advance their own ambitions. The state is adding new safeguards to keep its actions from public scrutiny: secret courts and secret trials of persons accused of crimes against the government. www.lewrockwell.com /shaffer/shaffer56.html   (1751 words)

Guardian Unlimited Politics Comment Alexander Chancellor: Lying in the state Since lying is one of the few offences that those in politics still take seriously, it is prudent not to lie unless you have to. John Profumo ended his political career in 1963 by lying to the House of Commons about his affair with Christine Keeler. Clinton survived by the skin of his teeth, but his habit of telling lies was to sully his record. politics.guardian.co.uk /comment/story/0,9115,1667967,00.html   (511 words)

On "Lying in a Hammock..." "Lying in a Hammock at William Duffy's Farm in Pine Island, Minnesota" is Wright's most brilliant dramatization of Narcissus sous rature; that is, of the achievement of an integrated self at the moment of recognition that to conceive of the self as a proprietary form is a costly mistake. In "Lying," Wright's speaker is at last able to lean back and look up from that spurious image; and when he does, the being in being that he has pursued with such misguided intensity becomes effortlessly his. Henricksen: I wanted to ask you about one specific poem that you read the other night … You talked about the final line, "I have wasted my life," as being, perhaps, a realization that more time ought to be spent lying in a hammock, as I remember. www.english.uiuc.edu /maps/poets/s_z/j_wright/hammock.htm   (4457 words)

Jeff Quinton - Backcountry Conservative: State Funerals The Hunley is a state project with a state commission behind it. I am operating on what I can recall right now, but the facts behind the state's Unknown Confederate Soldier are found in the history of the S.C. Division of the SCV, which was compiled by Dennis Todd of Cayce and published within the last three years. He then proceeds to quote all of the Chamber of Commerce officials and anti-Confederate politicians discussing the dire consequences if the crew of the Hunley is allowed to lie in state at the Statehouse before they are buried in Charleston's Magnolia Cemetery. www.jquinton.com /archives/000397.html   (285 words)

Dead Presidents: Lying In State President Reagan's body was the 28th to lay in state or honor in the rotunda of the U.S. Capitol. One of the other questions I received quite often after President Reagan's death was "Why was President Nixon not given a state funeral?" Law enacted in 1923 after the death of President Harding provides that every president is entitled to a state funeral and to have his body lie in state. The casket of each President who has lain in state has been placed on the same catafalque, which was originally constructed for Abraham Lincoln. www.diplom.org /manus/Presidents/faq/instate.html   (404 words)

Lying in state vs. lying in repose. By Daniel Engber But when you're talking about official U.S. government funerals, "lying in state" has a special meaning: You're only lying in state in the formal sense when your body is in the Rotunda of the Capitol Building in Washington. Funeral directors throughout the country use the phrases interchangeably: A body that's put out for public viewing could be described as lying "in state" or "in repose." When Pope John Paul II passed away in April, the presentation of his body at St. Peter's Basilica was described both ways in the news media. (Only 10 presidents have lain in state; many others have lain in repose at the White House.) Those involved with the ceremony made sure the media had the terms right: Reagan was "in repose" on the West Coast and "in state" in Washington. www.slate.com /id/2125819/fr/rss   (667 words)

US Dept of State - Memorializing U.S. Presidents According to U.S. law, former presidents, presidents-elect, and presidents are entitled to state funerals with the formal honor of lying in state in the Rotunda of the U.S. Capitol, the seat of the Congress. The first state presidential funeral was for William Henry Harrison, who died in 1841 shortly after taking office, but it was not until the assassination of Abraham Lincoln in 1865 that the United States experienced a nationwide period of mourning, made possible by advances in communications technologies -- train and telegraph. A state funeral for Ronald Reagan, the 40th U.S. president, is scheduled in Washington, DC for June 11, the first presidential state funeral in more than three decades. usinfo.state.gov /is/Archive/2004/Jun/09-178215.html   (770 words)

CATHOLIC ENCYCLOPEDIA: Buddhism It was in the living Buddhist saint a state of calm repose, of indifference to life and death, to pleasure and pain, a state of imperturbable tranquility, where the sense of freedom from the bonds of rebirth caused the discomforts as well as the joys of life to sink into insignance. Unchastity in all its forms, drunkenness, lying, stealing, envy, pride, harshness are fittingly condemned. It suffices to know that it meant a state of unconscious repose, an eternal sleep which knew no awakening. www.newadvent.org /cathen/03028b.htm   (6139 words)
