I have looked, but unsuccessfully, and must now devote the rest of my morning to regulations governing pesticides and their proper use, storage etc. I'll pop back later and see if anybody else has found some early French terrae. (possibly accompanied by some coeli) ?

I expect this is going to be a slow day as the sun is out everywhere and Anna will be gallivanting in her lacy summery garb and others too perhaps

And I am not gallivanting, I'm working hard but in fact was just about to post Regna terrae!! In fact, I can only look in from time to time today so it's just as well mercia beat me to it.

my U
debuted as Beppe, auditioned for Cosima, and lost his voice in Tristan & Isolde
all one geezer
One Jacques Urlus (1867-1935) made his début in Amsterdam, as Beppe in Pagliacci on September 20, 1894; was invited by Siegfried Wagner to Bayreuth in 1898; and in 1912 made his début as Tristan at the Met.
No mention of Cosima or losing his voice though...
Tree? The? Barking? Wrong? Up?

I regard your beak as very sharp when it comes to winkling out solutions, Mr M!Originally posted by mercia View Postlike a hen with no beak [btw why was that earthquake mass so-called ? ]
As regards the Mass, the names usually come from the fact that they are based on the melody associated with a passage in the bible (or a popular song sometimes). So perhaps there was a psalm talking about earthquakes, and the Mass is based on a chant for those words..."...the isle is full of noises,

the very man, you may stop barkingOriginally posted by Caliban View Post
apparently auditioned for Cosima Wagner in circa 1898 but was not invited to Bayreuth for another 13 years.
his Met debut in Tristan was apparently a bit of a disaster because he lost his voice in Act Two, but his Siegfried the following week "restored his reputation". "one of the best Wagner singers of all time" says wiki. and here he is in a hat
verily, it is your turnComment

Good lord.
About to be tied up with French people (no, not a kinky European version of 'Twister', Flay) so there will be an unavoidable intermission. Anyone with a burning V should not hesitate to jump in
