Through out, with the eter nal human genius for arriv ing by the worst pos si ble routes at sur pris ing ly tol er able goals, Bab bitt loved his son and warmed to his com pan ion ship and would have sac ri ficed every thing for him—if he could have been sure of prop er credit.

Basques are the least assimilated remnant of the Paleolithic inhabitants of Western Europe (specifically those of the Franco-Cantabrian region). Basque tribes were already mentioned in Roman times by Strabo and Pliny, including the Vascones, the Aquitani and others. There is enough evidence that they already spoke Basque in that time (see Aquitanian language and Iruña-Veleia). All other tribes in the Iberian Peninsula were linguistically and culturally assimilated by the end of the Roman period.

Velars are consonants articulated with the back part of the tongue (the dorsum) against the soft palate (the back part of the roof of the mouth, known also as the velum).

The subject is treated with a certain amount of realism in François Truffaut’s 1970 film L’Enfant Sauvage (UK: The Wild Boy, US: The Wild Child), where a scientist’s efforts in trying to rehabilitate a feral boy meet with great difficulty.

Every man for himself and god against all.

“In My Life With You”

[omitted for now]

The first great fado singer who survived in collective memory is Maria Severa Onofriana, who lived in the first half of the 19th century. In the 1920s and 1930s, a series of fado de Coimbra (a version born in Coimbra) recordings were very popular.

“Ruminated Heartland Body Man”

The loneliest hill
Is a weeping eye
Dry your tears
I know I have only experienced the surfaces of things
And already such unimaginable ecstacies have railed my sense 
Dark mysteries engulf this sense
The unavoidable grateful heart
The longing for the friend in this sense
The loneliest hill
Is a crying time
Dry your tears
Even the world just as surfaces contains an entrance I’m sure of it.
Dry your tears cowboy, the babbittry are moaning through the dark night.  
The moaning is their nightlife.
The nightlife is their nightlight.

“The Punk Of The East”

Bring me home to the west
And kill me there.
