Topic: Panurge


  
  Rabelais: Gargantua and Pantagruel, Book V.
Panurge was still feeding his eyes with the sight of the pope-hawk and his attendants, when somewhere under his cage he perceived a madge-howlet.
Panurge did so sweeten up the syndics of the place that they blessed us with the sight of 't; but it was with three times more pother and ado, with more formalities and antic tricks, than they show the pandects of Justinian at Florence, or the holy Veronica at Rome.
Panurge was so overjoyed, seeing this, and laughed so heartily, that he was forced to hold his sides, and it set him into a fit of the colic for two hours and more.

Panurge asked Pantag’ruel’; whether he advised him to marry, “Yes,” said Pantagruel.
When Panurge urged some strong objection, “Then don’t marry,” said Pantagruel; to which the favourite replied, “His whole heart was bent on so doing.” “Marry then, by all means,” said the prince, but Panurge again found some insuperable barrier.
Besides Pantag’ruel’;, Panurge consulted lots, dreams, a sibyl, a deaf and dumb man, the old poet Rominagrobis, the chiromancer Herr Trippa, the theologian Hippothadée, the physician Rondib’ilis, the philosopher Trouillogan, the court fool Triboulet, and, lastly, the Oracle of the Holy Bottle.

 Rabelais: Gargantua and Pantagruel, Book IV.
Panurge bought a large picture, copied and done from the needle-work formerly wrought by Philomela, showing to her sister Progne how her brother-in-law Tereus had by force handselled her copyhold, and then cut out her tongue that she might not (as women will) tell tales.
Near Panurge, with his kersey coat, its hair used to turn grey; near Pantagruel, with his scarlet mantle, its hair and skin grew red; near the pilot, dressed after the fashion of the Isiacs of Anubis in Egypt, its hair seemed all white, which two last colours the chameleons cannot borrow.
Panurge, having paid his money, chose him out of all the flock a fine topping ram; and as he was hauling it along, crying out and bleating, all the rest, hearing and bleating in concert, stared to see whither their brother-ram should be carried.

 Chapter Pangloss <i>to</i> Panurge of P by Brewer's Phrase & Fable
Panurge was a desperate rake, was always in debt, had a dodge for every scheme, knew everything and something more, was a boon companion of the mirthfullest temper and most licentious bias; but was timid of danger, and a desperate coward.

For example, the dice Panurge refers to at the outset of his quest constitute illogical chance; but Bridlegoose's dice which determine the verdict of ambiguous cases are guided by the will of God.

Seeing Panurge only in the distance--"De tant loing que le vit Pantagruel" (263)--Pantagruel is happy with what he sees.
The fact that it is Pantagruel who focalizes Panurge here is important, given the ambiguous role Panurge will play in the book.
Panurge would perhaps not have exposed his ruse and greed to Pantagruel quite yet; the focalization of the je-buddy allows us to see another side of Panurge.

 Rabelais: Gargantua and Pantagruel, Book III.
Whilst Pantagruel was giving order for the government of all Dipsody, he assigned to Panurge the lairdship of Salmigondin, which was yearly worth 6,789,106,789 reals of certain rent, besides the uncertain revenue of the locusts and periwinkles, amounting, one year with another, to the value of 435,768, or 2,435,769 French crowns of Berry.

Panurge, by way of donative, presented him with a long gown lined all through with wolf-skins, with a short sword mounted with a gilded hilt and covered with a velvet scabbard, and with fifty good single angels; then in a familiar and friendly way did he ask of him his opinion touching the affair.
This Panurge said, putting the forefinger of his left hand betwixt the fore and mid finger of the right, which he thrust out towards Herr Trippa, holding them open after the manner of two horns, and shutting into his fist his thumb with the other fingers.
He is of the nature of the Lamian witches, who in foreign places, in the houses of strangers, in public, and amongst the common people, had a sharper and more piercing inspection into their affairs than any lynx, but at home in their own proper dwelling-mansions were blinder than moldwarps, and saw nothing at all.

Panurge are influenced by late-Sixties pop and folk music, as reflected in their debut album, 'Throw Down The Reins', out now.
The group’s independently produced and released debut, Erectangle (2001), is a reflection of this strange geographical agreement; written and recorded in pieces and across great distances, the album has a patch-work style that is well-suited to its genre-bending content.
With the release of Erectangle, doors seemed to open for the band; Panurge’s unique sound, widespread critical praise and live performances on national radio caught the attention of music listeners in Canada and abroad.

With Byrne in Ireland, Lovell in Calgary and Schubert in Vancouver, the prospects of Panurge coming into existence seemed unlikely at best, and yet it was in this geographical arrangement whence came the trio’s decision to dedicate themselves to a new musical collaboration.
Continuing their endeavors to bridge the imagined distances between musical styles, Panurge utilizes a wide variety of instrumentation on the album, from analog synthesizers to wooden vibes, acoustic guitars and vintage drum machines.
That is, for all of the twists and turns of sound and structure, one always gets the sense that Panurge’s music, in all of its aspects, is seeking to find a point of balance.

Now you must note that Panurge had set at the end of his long Codpiece a pretty tuft of red silk, as also of white, green and blew, and within it had put a faire orange.
Whereupon Panurge presently put the thumb of his right hand under his jawes, and the little finger thereof in the mouth of the left hand, and in this posture made his teeth to sound very melodiously, the upper against the lower.

Since then, Panurge has made the journey from indie buzz band to signed act: on March 23 of this year, Nettwerk released the group's first proper CD, Throw Down the Reins.
Panurge's members actually worked on these songs together, whereas much of Erectangle was recorded while the group's resident DJ and electronica guru, Daniel Byrne, was in Ireland.
Indeed, the guys in Panurge still have their day jobs, which means they have to work doubly hard to find time for the important business of promoting their record.

 Panurge - Throw Down The Reins - Review
Take Beck's Odelay and round off some of the more experimental edges, then add a touch of the poppiest work from the Beta Bands Hot Shots 2 and you're getting close to the sound that the trio Panurge has pumped out on their newest album Throw Down The Reins.
Mixing a nice amount of sampling with mostly programmed beats and a small batch of actual organic instrumentation, this is music created for spring and summer with loads of hooks and sing-along choruses.
Basically, if you're looking for something more experimental, steer clear of here, but if you need a fun pop fix, Panurge will give you a good hit.

 Chapter Pandolfe <i>to</i> Panurge of P by Brewer's Readers Handbook
Panurge, a young man, handsome and of good stature, but in very ragged apparel when Pantagruel first met him on the road leading from Charenton Bridge.
Pantagruel, pleased with his person and moved with pity at his distress, accosted him, when Panurge replied, first in German, then in Arabic, then in Italian, then in Biscayan, then in Bas-Breton, then in Low Dutch, then in Spanish.
“Friend,” said the prince, “can you speak French?” “Right well,” answered Panurge, “for I was born in Touraine, the garden of France.” Pantagruel then asked him if he would join his suite, which Panurge most gladly consented to do, and became the fast friend of Pantagruel.

It can be pretty hard to divide yourself from it because it’s not like a job that you would go to and leave—you think about it all the time.
Most of the comparisons seem to be the same over time, like maybe one person writes it and then someone else takes it, maybe they’re lazy or something, and puts it in an article.
Like sometimes it doesn’t even make sense.” At least Byrne is willing to agree with me that Panurge straddles the line between the classic melodies and songwriting sense of ’60s pop while reveling in the freedom of the last decade’s advances in production technology.
