FNiMN

[LMcD]

Indeed. I won't be persuaded without documentary evidence. 'Live', 'as live' and 'live and specially recorded' have been described simply as live music. Once you link live and studio recordings together, that opens the gates to 'live repeats'. Almost anything not classed as a commercial recording can be described as 'live'. If a prerecorded concert is advertised as 'live' why would a repeat not be 'live'?

Mystifyinglyly, an FNIMN is advertised as taking place at Alexandra Palace [BUY TICKETS] on 6 November - which is a Wednesday, so it will presumably be 'as live' on Friday 8th.

November 8th looks like being the next 'live' edition to be broadcast, following what I believe to be repeats from the 1st Radio 3 season.

With Craig Revel Horwood co-presenting with Katie D. I do hope cheesy inter-presenter banter is kept to a minimum….

I was hoping for a fromage-esque quote from our resident expert.
"Halloumi springs eternal..."

... well Pope's original mss include the draft -

Milk springs maternal in the human breast;
Milk ever is, but cheese is always best.
The curds, uneasy, and remov'd from whey,
Rest and ponder, to be brie next day

Searching for a source, I was greeted by Google with 'Did you mean “Hope springs eternal in the human breast"? so I presume either M Vinteuil or one of his erstwhile auncient cronies penned it? Worth quoting the original here:

“Hope springs eternal in the human breast;
Man never Is, but always To be blest.
The soul, uneasy, and confin'd from home,
Rests and expatiates in a life to come.”

I take some pleasure in the fact that in this place a thread about R3's ineffable Friday Night Is Music Night could ascend to the subject of Pope's Essay on Man.

Oddly enough, line 95 is counted differently (4 lines out) elsewhere...

Lo! the poor Indian, whose untutor'd mind
Sees God in clouds, or hears him in the wind;

i wasn’t going to say it but outside university I’ve never met any one who’s read Pope esp the Essay on Man,

who wrote the parody? I have several books of poetic parodies but can’t find it anywhere …

[vinteuil]

... your text is from the 1734 edition : I think FF used the 1743 edition prepared under Pope's direction. Pope went on correcting the poem until he died, and various of the lines were moved about during his revisions.

Vints . That is genius. It scans better than Pope. My guess was Auden…
