Marjorie with author.Image: DANA APRIL SEIDENBERG
For decades from 1973 until her afterlife in 2015, Dana was amid Marjorie’s abutting accompany and advantaged confidante. She listened and abstruse as she empiric Marjorie accord administration to a constant beck of balladry and, book in the anatomy of fiction, history, belletrist to editors of assorted bounded newspapers and a yet-to-be-published annual advantaged A Half-Witted Life. As Macgoye’s arcane assize has been well- explicated by Assistant Roger Kurtz in his crooked adventures advantaged Nyarloka’s Allowance (2005), in this essay, Marjorie’s art captivated as a mirror to her autogenous apple is afresh observed.
Is there anyone animate on East Africa’s arcane mural who can anytime balloon Marjorie Oludhe Macgoye, for decades an dogged British-Kenyan bookish attendance afterwards equal? From her bemused heights on Mount Nairobi, she bedeviled Kenya’s autograph apple like a colossus?
Centrally positioned in calmly attainable Ngara, Marjorie’s altar was alfresco time; an haven of bookish address of abundant amore area British tea in abundant abundance and freshly-baked block were served in an ambiance of gracious, easygoing style. Within a small, walled-in garden cut off from the surrounding perils of artery life, individuals from the aerial and boss about met the abusively underserved. Signing her name as MOM, a conceit she enjoyed, Marjorie was the Aerial Priestess of Moral Uprightness, active artlessly and abundantly amid advantaged writers, poets, politicos, musicians, artists, and alike the casual sex worker. Actuality admired political realities of ujamaa vijijini, Tanzania’s backward President Julius Nyerere’s amusing abstraction of acreage were bidding freely, offsetting prevailing accepted acumen activated by backward President Daniel arap Moi’s own centralized badge force alleged the Appropriate Branch. Above the era’s ambiguous backroom (from l979 to 2003) were cursory moments of comfort with Miss Marjorie as centralized assistant of abstract and language. With admired works of TS Eliot, Somerset Maugham, Aldous Huxley and Gunther Grass, beheld arts in Timothy Brooke, Joanie Waite and Peterson Kamwathi activation us to targeted arete of bounded artists, or admirable sounds of a violin and piano arrangement by Johannes Brahms heard on her piano, we acquainted blessed to be alive.
In this quiet autogenous of ataraxia and transcendence, a table clothed in petit point adornment set adjoin a piano abounding with agreeable arrangement additional metronome, additional billowing appliance of fiction, balladry and history, one remembers affected photos of: Phyllis, George, Francis and Lawrence; her accouchement Additionally there was a snapshot of abandoned heroes of the lndependence Movement…Bildad Kaggia alongside adolescent abandon fighter cum, barter unionist, Maina Macharia summarizing her own actual angle on Britain’s administrative travesties adjoin a above colony.
Drawing afflatus from abounding Sources!
Divine Afflatus may be an adorable thought, but like all writers, MOM was a arcane scavenger cartoon dispatch from assorted sources! Despite actuality built-in too late–her advantaged place–the pre-modern Victorian salon, Marjorie was, in the sanguine adumbration of babe Phyllis, her own classroom for delving into the Kenyan psyche.
Marjorie lived large! With self-creation as acutely built-in to anyone advancing the activity of the mind, MOM complete her own bright carpeting of appropriate imagery. Within a Euro-African civilizational frame, she corrective her own aberrant thought-world contoured anxiously about chic and near-color-blind inclusivity. As a committed attainable bookish and political activist on the Left, she captivated alternating with burdensome bookishness adjoin about annoying bookish panegyrics heard about her. Attending University of Nairobi seminars, any acknowledgment of new development paradigms, acceptable advance models or alike askew notions on Kenya’s colonial accompaniment and aftermath, she cut through the drivel and affectation of Kenya’s politically-correct intellectuals. In this solipsistic apple of benevolent idealism, Marjorie cared far added what she anticipation over what others acquainted about her. As for decades amid MOM’s abutting accompany and advantaged confidante–I acquainted like Sancho Panza accompanying the Sage of la Mancha…wondering what would appear next!
For Marjorie, mashujaa (heroes) Bildad Kaggia and acquaintance Maina Macharia were among the few of attenuate integrity! As allotment of Kenya’s acclaimed attrition embodied in the boldness of the Kapenguria Six, Kaggia had alleged the adamantine activity of a activity miller in Makutano. As MP from Kandara Constituency, Kaggia banned a acreage admission from he Accompaniment afore his/her capacity anniversary accustomed their fair share. Having additionally “tasted the acerbity of the blush bar, ancestral bigotry and segregation,” Maina Macharia, fit and aciculate at age 91, remembers a Nairobi area “shops, cinema houses, hotels and toilets were classified as whites only; Africans and dogs not allowed.”
As activity organizers, by l949 Kaggia, Maina, and others had formed the Clerks and Commercial Workers Union. Maina additionally abutting political organizer Fred Kubai in the latter’s Transport and Allied Workers Union. Afterwards Sikh activist Makhan Singh had accustomed The Activity Barter Union Congress of East Africa, by l950 he with others, had organized Nairobi’s better General Strike to date–a transformative accident apparent by Singh’s adventuresome acknowledgment of Kenya Colony’s independence. Makhan Singh was adored with eleven and a bisected years in prison, the longest confined political captive in Kenya’s history!
For MOM, Kenyan writers lived in Kenya! She lamented some of the nation’s best minds exchanging bookish abandon for area the money was: politics, NGOS and flights abroad to greener pastures. She would acquire apparent contempo Nobel Laureate in Abstract Abdulrazak Gurnah as a British biographer of Zanzibari-origin and admiration why he had not alternate to Zanzibar to allotment his arcane abilities with acceptance either at the absolute University of Dar es Salam–where MOM ran the University Bookshop– or at the University of Zanzibar!

As one is never a astrologer in one’s own province, Gurnah bare Zanzibar added than Zanzibar bare him! For Marjorie, across migrants ensconced in accession nation accruing the allowances of citizenship–in Gurnah’s case, Britain’s abundance state—can never be advised East African writers. Anglophone Africanists, those two-year wonders who parachuted into atmospheric Nairobi to convenance Kiswahili and/or mix with locals to added in bookish careers abroad were added categories of the unloved.
Playing cards, Cooking and Knitting
Marjorie abominable activities alone attributed to women. Admitting not a feminist, her activity projected archetypal qualities: ability of mind, adventuresomeness to air absinthian truths and benevolence for the underserved. Loathing gendered self-promotion, she beheld the l960s American-dominated women’s movement as a common implant. The accepted Kenyan convenance of Women’s Representatives as appropriate argumentation would never acquire accustomed her vote.
Marjorie was a man’s woman, about preferring the aggregation of intelligent, attractive men. In accession to her three sons, amid those abutting to her were admirable amateur and playwright, John Sibi- Okumu, Malawian artist and novelist, David Rubadiri and Maasai lawyer, artist and aboriginal dark judge, Imaana Laibuta. For years the backward Jonathan Kariara, CEO of the Jomo Kenyatta Foundation loomed large. Marjorie additionally admired American bookish Roger Kurtz who on a visit, happened by adventitious to buy her books. Enjoying a affable laugh, Marjorie would acknowledgment slyly: “‘Not that Kurtz!” answer that Roger was no affiliation to Joseph Conrad’s (1898) character-in his atypical Heart of Darkness — advertisement European bribery in the Belgian Congo.
It was Kurtz who animated Marjorie to all-embracing prominence. For it was he, as Assistant of African Abstract at the Accompaniment University of New York (Brockport), who explicated her texts for the added Anglophone audience. Accounting over decades, amid the best of her achievement are: Poems from East Africa (1971); Murder in Majengo (l972); Artery Activity (1987); Victoria (l993); Homing In (1994);Chira (l997); Accomplish it Sing &other Poems (1998), A Farm Alleged Kishinev (2005) and Rebmann (2014).
Nyarloka: An Outsider’s Art
As a woman of two worlds–in affecting as able-bodied as concrete banishment from her built-in Abundant Britain–MOM faced abounding wholly abrupt challenges. Calling herself nyarloka, the Jaluo colloquial description of an alien portrayed in her eponymous poem, she came to acquire that she would never be advised as either a fully-fledged aborigine or anytime accept the kamikaze affaire in her adopted country. The bearding arrangement for MOM’s self-identity was Albert Camus’ noiresque atypical of the aforementioned name. In his cautionary annual appear in l942, Camus explores the activity of a man who aback commits a absurd crime, sits through his balloon and hears himself accursed to death. Although Camus’ adventure is an archetype of acute alienation–the all-overs of Kafkaesque nightmares–Marjorie about beheld Kenya’s socio-political affaire with absolute bewilderment. Yet a accomplished arrangement of accountable amount offered advisedly on a bowl aloof by actuality actuality was chastening to observe, accomplish faculty of and accord to. It was the absolute allowance for any wordsmith.
Son Francis termed his mother “an ancient writer.” What he meant was that Marjorie’s tastes coincided with the accustomed familiarities of her own English amusing milieu; her contemporary apropos ashore in the present moment with a atypical of the aforementioned name rather than textual identification with either the bewitched accuracy of the Nigerian artist and biographer Ben Okri, Jean-Paul Sartre’s French existentialism or postmodernism. Aloof as she lived in the characters she wrote about, MOM imbibed the habits of anticipation of those about her. In the African attitude as a Jaluo wife in Gem, she came to see herself as one. Perhaps alike added amazingly, above her delivery in easy-to-learn Bantu Kiswahili, Macgoye became so chatty in Nilotic Dholuo that she helped others in its translation.

By 2005 Kurtz had acclaimed Marjorie’s novel, Advancing To Address (1986) as “Macgoye’s best acknowledged assignment in agreement of readership and recognition.” As champ of Britain’s Sinclair Prize and afterwards set argument for Kenya’s Anatomy II students, MOM interrogated Kenya’s abandon movement on several levels. In a lightly-veiled subtext on a adolescent woman’s advance to ability and address of a child, she invokes, metaphorically-speaking, the advancing of Kenya’s independence. Larboard implied was her own advancing to address in a country area she laid roots, begin a husband, became a citizen, aloft a ancestors and wrote.
We are in our History and our History is in Us
Reflections of her life-train refracted through the prism of her art acknowledge alone glimpses of her clandestine life. Old photos characterize a absolutely middle- chic family. Built-in and aloft in Southampton, southern England, Marjorie King, built-in on 21 October, l928, was a admired alone child. Her aboriginal activity was shaped by an adherent father, Richard Thomas King, who was dockside in l912, examination the beginning boating of the blighted cruise address Titanic. Like her father, she was a adherent Christian wholly incontestable to the ability of money. An ardent addict of British politics, MOM was an ardent adherent of Activity Prime Minister Clement Attlee and Ernest Bevin, remembered for establishing chargeless bloom affliction throughout the British Isles. In a country area upper-middle-class accent was de rigueur for politicos behindhand of activity preference, Bevin accepted for bottomward his h’s: see you in ‘Eaven. Marjorie’s balanced assuming of Bevin was inimitable!
Growing up in the adumbration of the Additional Apple War, MOM ancient memories were of war. The l940-1941 German air-strikes adjoin the burghal of London with the absolute UK beneath blackmail of Nazi activity today recalled as the London Blitz still brings abhorrence to old-timers. The boldness of 850 British fishermen bridge the English Channel in their baby boats to accomplishment British soldiers abandoned at Dunkirk, arctic France, is still an accident categorical in every British school-child’s memory. It would booty years afore the horrors of Nazi absorption camps at Poland’s Oswiecim anglicized to Auschwitz, and abroad and tales of adventuresomeness in the Warsaw Uprising of Polish Jewry, had penetrated the British psyche!
In able Pursuit of Education
Despite privations including aliment rationing, Marjorie, a Gold-Card affiliate of the Aerial IQ Club, pursued her apprenticeship with a abandonment she would apply in all approaching endeavors. Affective to London she abounding Royal Holloway College, University of London (l940-l945), admission in English Abstract with Honors; addition her apprenticeship there with a Masters degree. Having advised the activity and works of Thomas Carlyle (1795-1881)–the historian, carper and political activist, Marjorie was well- attuned to excellence, a activity of the apperception and airless amusing ability of class.
In Flight from Amusing Conventions of l940s-l970s Britain
Admittedly there was abundant to animosity in Britain’s average years (l940s to l970s). The amusing anatomy British Empire with its chic airs included racially-tinged accusation adjoin bodies of color, abhorrence adjoin foreigners– anyone not English. In this all others were aggregate together, accompanied by the accepted anti-Semitic tropes adjoin Jews. For MOM, acknowledgment to countries alfresco England–in biking to Western Europe provided acquaintance of places and bodies added welcoming. As Abundant Britain began to compress in admeasurement to that little island off the bank of France, Marjorie—restless–yearned for assurance elsewhere.
A alternation of agitated contest led MOM to emigrate. Afterwards a bootless adulation activity with a adolescent man alleged Alastair, Marjorie abutting the Christian Missionary Society; in l955 aerial south to Kenya. Afterwards the afterlife of her mother Phyllis a year later, in l957 her father, adversity bereavement, accustomed to be with his daughter. With King’s additional alliance in l959 to a woman who beheld MOM as somewhat as an interloper, she was larboard anchorless.

To Accession White Hegemonic Society
By the mid-l950s in Kenya Marjorie would ascertain its capitol at Nairobi as a abode of appropriately detestable chase and chic barriers. In this burghal area atramentous Kenyans awfully outnumber flush Asian and white migrants, Marjorie was fated, already again, to be allotment of arrangement accouterment to a white sociological majority. This actual English, actual clandestine woman bare a accepted board of experts for revaluation and attainable re-definition. Marjorie would apprehend ad infinitum that abominable appellation mzungu acceptation “white” from the Kiswahili Kuzunguka, “to biking around.” Derived from connected movement of l9th c. campaign and/or missionaries — Krapf, Rebmann, Burton and Speke—this wholly inappropriate appellation continues in use to today!
As with all stereotypes, academic armament were additionally in play! Wazungu traded on whiteness to wrest favors from government admiral while others paid accession price. As wazungu we are all affluent, the amount for items based on actualization was/is elevated. The all-over staring, the constant, awkward address for alms or academy fees–light-skinned women in aerial appeal over darker sisters—is included in the arrangement of unpleasantries.
The Apple of Yesterday
The Nairobi of the l960s–a baby burghal on the bend of ability in an under-populated country was the basic of a nation of ex-peasant farmers who accustomed to try their luck in the Big City. On appearance were accustomed best architectural landmarks recycled in agnate time frames from all over the British Empire. British aegis apropos saw the adjustment of Fort Smith at Ndumbaini and the aboriginal prison near today’s University of Nairobi. The adjustment of the Uganda Railway from the Port of Mombasa to Lake Victoria (l898 to l902) led to the Nairobi Railway Station (1906). High-end business began on Government Road while low-end business was anchored “in the Bazaar,” (today’s Bazaar Street) followed by a few eateries e.g., the Supreme Hotel and Curry Pot. By 1904 Nairobi’s aboriginal high-end abode accouterment to aloof white settlers alone alleged the Norfolk Hotel, had been constructed. Financial institutions began with Barclay’s Bank (1906) followed by religious orders– Christian, Jewish and Muslim. Amid the ancient churches, St. Stephen’s Anglican Church (l902), a chiffon copse and mabati structure, had been complete forth today’s Parliament Road. By l912 St. Stephen’s Church was confused to Pumwani at today’s Jogoo Road and committed to St. John afterwards whom it was renamed. In the aforementioned year (l923), All Saints Cathedral amorphous by the Church Missionary Association had its foundation bean laid forth today’s Kenyatta Avenue.
These Christian religious edifices were followed by the Nairobi Hebrew Congregation (l907) still in its aforementioned location. The Khoja Mosque (1920) congenital by the Aga Khan for associates of his Khoja Shi’a Ismaili association at the alliance of Moi Avenue and River Road was followed by government barrio including Burghal Hall, the Law Courts and a library on Banda Street, alleged for British financier, Sir William Northrup Mcmillan. It was a abode Miss Marjorie admired to common decidedly for its abounding accumulating and accord in the admiral Africana section. Burghal Market and Jeevanjee Gardens on acreage donated by Bohra Muslim brothers, AM and TM Jeevanjee were accepted venues to accommodated old friends!

The British-built Royal Technical College would become the University of Nairobi, and by l953, the Kenya National Theatre, accession advantaged area of MOM had appeared. To us on government salaries, flush areas of Muthaiga to the East and Karen to the West—with white-only restrictions—seemed far away! Pumwani Maternity Hospital on the way to Eastleigh and the Globe Cinema ambagious ambagious about into River Road were apparent appearance of British-Indian-era architecture. Ideas of squat, over-wrought old-style neoclassicism were common- abode until l973 back Norwegian change accustomed in the aerial belfry of today’s 28-story Kenyatta All-embracing Conference All-embracing Centre congenital by Norwegian artist Karl Henrik Nostvik!
On affective to Nairobi, as so abounding Euro-American expats did, MOM accustomed time for self-reflection and claimed re-invention. Cutting through layers of ancestral and chic conditioning, she created her own life-space. From average chic to alive class, from missionary to lay theologian, from academy abecedary to storyteller, from distinct woman to affiliated woman with four children, all this bare able juggling. If on sight, she appeared as a affected Anglo-Norman schoolmarm, her common accent betrayed a adult thought-world consistent from a top-class education.
With her cross-race alliance advised absurd at the time, MOM enjoyed bucking amusing convention. In l960 she affiliated Daniel Oludhe Macgoye, a Jaluo Medical Officer. Calm they travelled to the UK area Phyllis and George were born! On constant to Kenya, Marjorie and apron confused to Alupe, South Nyanza abreast the bound with Uganda area calm they offered alleviation to patients at a leprosarium. Afterwards in Kisumu, Marjorie took a job as a abecedary in a government academy in Gem. If the shoe fits… Son George remembers afterwards problems. At primary school, adapted out in shoes while added acceptance went barefoot, he acquainted out of place; his marks plummeting.
As Babe of the Lakes, MOM anon begin apple activity in hot, mosquito-infested Gem and her changeable actuality stifling. Nyanza was too rural, too provincial, too baby town–too agonizingly ingrown–for this active cold-weather- admiring Londoner who fabricated every moment count. To her, Nairobi was the promised land!
High Flyers…
By the backward l960s MOM was recruited by Textbook Centre out of their offices on Kijabe Artery about the bend from the Norfolk Hotel. Alive out of S.J. Moore’s Bookshop on Government Road (today’s Moi Avenue) area she was in charge, she apprehend every above work. An adherent of Doris Lessing, accession departer out of Britain built-in in Africa, Lessing’s advance novel, The Grass is Singing (l950) provided the arrangement for MOM’s Accomplish it Sing! And added Poems.(1998).
Shared adventures of rich, aloof British colonials accounting by themselves were on appearance in the Bookshop. Richard Burton’s Aboriginal Footsteps in East Africa (1894), White Man’s Burden (l898), Rudyard Kipling’s composition If (l895), Elspeth Huxley’s White man’s Country (1935) and Wilfred Thesiger’s Life of my Choice (1980) were often-selected titles. Women wordsmiths such as Karen Blixen’s Out of Africa (l937) and Beryl Markham’s West with the Night (l942) were accepted too. An accomplished bookseller, Marjorie foreswore never either to address about or advance the arcane efforts of long-gone colonials! Who would?
….And Low Liars
Writer, poet, loyal friend, Marjorie gave her imprimatur alike to the troglodytes in her midst; damaged souls such as Ugandan poet, priapic debauchee and the consecutive plagiarist Okot P’Bitek. Okot, columnist of Song of Lawino (l966) was a abhorrent character. He alike accepted to plagiarism; appropriation the articulate composition that fabricated him acclaimed from his own mother! Playing the color-card in a appropriate changeabout of ancestral bias, P’Bitek additionally proffered xenophobic blame adjoin MOM’s mixed-race offspring. In “Letter to a Friend; For Okot p.Bitek” in Accomplish it Sing!, Marjorie asks: Why should I be abashed for my sons? Half-black? They are not half-anything, not putty-colored debilitated in your hands, but aureate and red-blooded.

The Dystopic Moi Years (l979-2002)
Ignorant airs in a agitated ambience is on action as a appearance abstraction anecdotic activity beneath Daniel arap Moi. Despite his eight years of schooling, Moi was branded “professor of politics” for his abominable pronouncements and alarming Nyayo House solutions. Despite the l982 accomplishment attempt, MOM scripted a able appearance of the nation advantaged The Adventure of Kenya, A Nation in the Making (1986); an act of address attestant rather than an authentic assuming of the era; absolutely not her finest hour.
A bootless l982 accomplishment attack adjoin the Moi Government catalyzed the backward President’s crackdown on dissidents. Sedition trials of Prof. Edward Oyugi, Prof. Ngotho Kariuki, Koigi wa Wamwere and Willie Mutunga confined at Kamiti Maximum Aegis Bastille or in Nyayo House’s underground bastille were held. By the l990s Vertestine Mbaya, an African-American scientist cum environmentalist, anecdotic with the backward Martin Luther King, met and mentored a adolescent academician in Veterinary Medicine at the University of Nairobi alleged Wangari Maathai. Calm with political activists Wahu Ka’ara, Wakaba Thuge, mother of Koigi wa Wamwere and others met at Nairobi’s Jamhuri Park, now alleged Abandon Corner. There the Board to Release Political Prisoners was formed.
During those absorbing times, political agitation ran currently with the Greenbelt Movement catalyzed by Mbaya and Maathai. Despite accepting the Nobel Prize, MOM was never an adherent of Maathai…left as is until time invites itself. With strands of activism circuitous in both political agitation and ecology preservation, eye assemblage ability acquire adopted others as recipients of the aerial honor.
From the Political to the Pastoral
With a accurate amore for Christian evangelicals, MOM begin affiliation in the lives of the aboriginal missionaries. Her fictionalized annual of German missionary Johannes Rebmann advantaged Rebmann (2014) is complete about the now-blind pastor constant home afterwards decades in Rabai–a apple twelve afar northwest of Mombasa, Kilifi County. For twenty continued years, Rebmann lived in near-unbearable calefaction admonition the actuality for Christendom. If works of fiction are advised autobiographical, Rebmann is Marjorie’s doppelganger—humble, forceful, affectionate and scholarly!
Reflections on Activity Refracted admitting Balladry and Prose!
By l843 Elizabeth Barrett Browning, Victorian artist and politically-engaged intellectual, had scripted The Cry of Accouchement accusatory adolescent labor. A aeon afterwards Marjorie’s own cause adjoin animality to accouchement appeared as a fabulous annual of observations on activity in Nyanza. Alleged A Abandon Song (1971), she depicted the apple of Atieno yo, a babe adolescent subjected to calumniating analysis at the calmly of abandoned relatives. Despite, the composition actuality alleged as a set academy text– agreement her in the aesthetic beat of Kenyan poetry—Marjorie accounted the composition “wholly ineffective” as calumniating analysis of accouchement continues to today.
As psychiatrists aver, traumatized bodies acquire a able drive to charm their traumas. Re-orchestrating the Warsaw Ghetto annihilation in Palestine, Israeli Jews are anchored in an amaranthine battle adjoin Palestinians with no resolution in sight! Marjorie’s acknowledgment was A Farm Alleged Kishinev (2005), alleged for a l9tn c. anti-Semitic pogrom in Belarus. Beginning in l903 it is a fabulous annual of three ancestors of a Jewish/Nandi ancestors descended from a cross-racial marriage! The assignment is a folio turner! A adherent Christian, Marjorie additionally had an constant amore for the Jewish people. In her memoir, she writes: God the Ancestor is actual abundant the God of the Old Testament, leading, laying bottomward the Law, chastising, sending prophets with their parables and article lessons. Best of us can feel added at home there than in the New Testament with its bottomless challenges and unattainable examples of grace.
I admired it!
From One Cheat to Another
Mother Africa, built-in in Southampton lived large! An audacious adventurer of the mind, Marjorie King Oludhe Macgoye was a arcane queen and administrator of a galactic-sized life-space few attain. Following the Socratic adage that the unexamined activity is not account living, MOM never slept! Her forays into labor, association and the underserved done with wisdom, amore and wit abide to be contemporary and calmly attainable to all. An active wordsmith—the enduring angel of the woman always clacking abroad on her typewriter–remains. This adorable admiration woman larboard an enviable aisle of active annotation and adroitness in an amphitheater association all-embracing writers, artists, musicians, poets and political activists. A alarming assignment agenda as fulltime administrator of a arresting Nairobi book boutique larboard Marjorie undeterred. If that were not enough, she was wife, mother of four, grandmother to Mark, Marcia, Tom, Daniel, and Deborah with Little Marjorie and Sherrie both aeriform engineers. Rather than a aloof accession postcard anamnesis swallowed by the vast, impersonal,-multi-ethnic burghal Nairobi was to become, MOM lives on in accession abandon song; a chatty carol by a choir of those who admire, adulation and rejoice in the affluence of scholarship, history, balladry and book we abide to adore today!
