There are several well-known pieces of classical music about trains (by Honegger, Villa-Lobos and Britten, among others), but weirdly the writers ignored all of them.<br /><br />By the way, it was 'gnosis' with 'prognosis', not 'noesis' - the point of the question was that the two words differed only by a prefix.Stephen Followshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00241893861868075325noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5401280171563686515.post-12831291152837659572017-01-13T17:58:22.463-08:002017-01-13T17:58:22.463-08:00I thought Wilde was dead by 1903! :)I thought Wilde was dead by 1903! :)Will Ghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06257829263169597858noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5401280171563686515.post-14777150132928682492017-01-13T15:18:48.017-08:002017-01-13T15:18:48.017-08:00Excellent close match between two well matched tea...Excellent close match between two well matched teams to finish off what you rightly say has been a good second round. In fact, I'd go as far as to say it's been a very good series so far; some excellent close matches, and some excellent team efforts by the teams involved. Kudos to all of them.<br /><br />Lets hope the group stage can keep this up; first match on Monday, between Wolfson and Balliol, should hopefully be a cracker given the teams' previous matches.Jackhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06254840979557920582noreply@blogger.com
