 URSULA - LoveToKnow Article on URSULA   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-22)
URSULA, ST, and her companions, virgins and martyrs, are commemorated by the Roman Catholic church on the 21st of October.
One or two circumstantial forgeries of this kind would form the basis of a scheme for explaining not a few other problems of the case, such as the plain inscription Jacobus, whom St Elizabeth promptly transformed into a supposititious British archbishop of Antioch, brother to the equally imaginary British Pope Cyriacus.
Not a few singular coincidences seem to point in the same direction, especially the two virgins, Martha and Saula, whom Usuard states to have suffered cum aliis pluribus on the 20th of October, whence they were probably transferred to the 21st.

 Bagism: Albums & Singles: Reviews: Unfinished Music No. 1 - Two Virgins
The Two Virgins album was John's first artistic expression with Yoko and clearly was released tongue in cheek mostly as a way to test the waters with the record business to see what they could get away with.
Two Virgins was reportedly recorded in one night when John and Yoko were tripping and fooling around with the tape machines in his home studio.
two virgins is essential for serious lennon study, since it details the meeting of the minds between ono/lennon and really shows conviction toward experimental avant-garde sound collages.

Decades later, Two Virgins is still best known for bearing the most notorious album cover in rock history: John and Yoko naked and unashamed in their filthy boudoir, staring out the camera with glassy heroin eyes.
Less than 30 minutes long, the whole of "Two Virgins" is a few scant minutes longer than the first track on "Life With the Lions," "Cambridge 1969." Playing records and sound effects to back up their "insanity," you hear birds chirping (or SOME kind of whistling) through most of the first track.
Basically, "Two Virgins" in its entirety is 30 minutes worth of Yoko squaking, warbling and screaming while John fiddles around with tape machines, plays notes at random on piano and guitar and also makes strange vocal noises.

So my virgins would probably wear shapeless fl robes and shapeless fl head coverings and I would know nothing of form or figure except for the eyes with unplucked brows.
Fun for some, I suppose, but if we grab seventy-two virgins at random and send them to Paradise, sixty are likely to be under age, two will be in the 18-20 year bracket, eight will be very old spinsters, and the other two will be lesbians.
For the sake of argument, assume your virgins are all past the age of puberty and under the age of menopause.

These two types of marriage are addressed in the seventh chapter of I Corinthians.
Virginity allows divorce and remarriage only as long as the husband and wife remain virgins.
Once two virgins who are married have sex, they are no longer being spoken to when St. Paul says, "Now concerning virgins...." Therefore, they may no longer divorce and remarry.

The archetypical ''unfinished symphony'' is Schubert's ''Symphony D. 759'' (1822), featuring two fully orchestrated movements, while from some sketches it is clear Schubert originally intended to create a traditional four-movement symphony.
''Two Virgins'' was the first LP released under the Apple Records label.
Nevertheless, the taboo breaking album cover was perhaps the first time that any male celebrity of any consequence had exposed himself so thoroughly to the public.

The numbers used in the parable of the ten virgins are 10 and 5; but to understand them, we'll need to know the basic meanings behind the numbers that can be combined to make 10 which includes all the numbers from 1 through 10.
The number two is the number of the churches as typified by the two wives of Jacob.
The number is prevalent in those Scriptures having to do with the churches: the two fishes, the two in the field, the two elect, the two divisions of the ten virgins, the two days assigned to each, etc.

He was the virgin that was prepared for the grooms, which in the novel was the missionary.
Because of this he was like "The Foolish Virgins." In the Bible, "The Foolish Virgins" were not preparing and was trying to prepare themselves was also holding on to the past.
In Achebe’s novel, Oknowko and Nwoye portray the two different groups in the parable "The Wise and Foolish Virgins." The two parables are similar in the point that you must be prepared.

 Jung Talk - two virgins....   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-22)
PS Athena's virginity was invented during the patriarchal invasion as a way to renounce old gods and show allegiance to the new ones, and to become inviolable as a symbol of the city.
athena is a woman born virginal by a man (zeus), incorporating the best masculine qualities, as jesus is a man born virginal by a woman impersoning the best female qualities.
Although the "virginal" origin of Athena is dubious (Zeus was not a virgin, he actually ate Athena's mother, didn't he?), I can still see what you're aiming at.

Side Two is more of the same, though with a gospel organ giving proceedings the air of a demented church service (complete with John's psalm singing and amen-ing at the end).
In contrast Two Virgins, while always busy, is very much a home recording, and with its basic sound design lacks the aural excitement of Revolution Number 9, while Yoko's wailing vocals soon become tiresome.
Alternately amusing, intriguing, and downright embarrassing, Two Virgins is ultimately more interesting for the people who are making the noise, rather than the noise itself.

 UNFINISHED MUSIC NO. 2: LIFE WITH THE LIONS
Two Virgins was easily dismissed as folk art, a single concept (What is music?) not so much explored as stretched out in an interminable question.
Although this is a live recording, and it’s unlikely the pair was working from sheet music, it’s clear that they went into this performance with a good idea of the type of sounds they were going to make.
This is the closest cut to Two Virgins, though the idea of using the radio as an instrument is very clever (predating everything from record “scratching” to the electronic experimentalists of the ‘70s and ‘80s).

This album lacks two of the songs found on Roots, but because it was not made from a demo tape, the entire album has much better sound quality.

With two studio albums in as many years, it is hard to believe that the band had been on an enforced hiatus for seven years, thanks to a contractual dispute with erstwhile label, Virgin.
Virgin ultimately capitulated and the demo recording activity that took place during the sabbatical meant that very quickly, XTC had enough material to fill two new albums.
We used to give Virgin demos, and very often they said "Well, that's OK fellows, but we want something a little bit more commercial." We didn't seem to be able to satisfy their want, and we could only bring out what was in our hearts.

We have formed them in a distinctive fashion and made them virgins, loving companions matched in age, for the sake of those of the right hand.” This view of Paradise is so vulgar, demeaning, sexist, and immoral, I find it repulsive.
And among Talh (banana-trees) with flowers piled high, in shade long-extended, by water flowing constantly, and fruit in abundance, whose season is not limited, nor forbidden.” The Islamic paradise continues to reflect the parochial view of an abandoned orphan boy struggling to survive the rigors of an unrelenting desert.
The best they can come up with is that if there are multiple virgins for average jihadists and the good jihadist gets 10 times the favor of a average one, there must be 20-80 virgins depending upon whether the multiple starts with 2, 3.

John Lennon's solo career was marked by many ups and downs, he wrote inspiring songs often in the first person which were brutally honest and confessional, unfortunately he also tended to get involved with a lot of political causes and resultingly churned out some very ordinary tunes.
In 1968-9 John released "Two Virgins" which caused considerable controversy because of its content and cover art, and " Life with The Lions" which was also uninspiring.
Two great singles were lifted from this album "# 9 Dream" and " Whatever Gets You Through The Night".
