  • The Plumed Serpant

    The Plumed Serpant

    The Plumed Serpant D H Lawrence Chapter 1 - Beginnings Of A Bull-Fight It was the Sunday after Easter, and the last bull-fight of the season in Mexico City. Four special bulls had been brought over from Spain for the occasion, since Spanish bulls are more fiery than Mexican. Perhaps it is the altitude, perhaps just the spirit of the western Continent which is to blame for the lack of 'pep', as Owen put it, in the native animal. Although Owen, who was a great socialist, disapproved of bull- fights, 'We have never seen one. We shall have to go,' he said. 'Oh yes, I think we must see it,' said Kate. 'And it's our last chance,' said Owen. Away he rushed to the place where they sold tickets, to book seats, and Kate went with him. As she came into the street, her heart sank. It was as if some little person inside her were sulking and resisting. Neither she nor Owen spoke much Spanish, there was a fluster at the ticket place, and an unpleasant individual came forward to talk American for them. It was obvious they ought to buy tickets for the 'Shade.' But they wanted to economize, and Owen said he preferred to sit among the crowd, therefore, against the resistance of the ticket man and the onlookers, they bought reserved seats in the 'Sun.' The show was on Sunday afternoon. All the tram-cars and the frightful little Ford omnibuses called camions were labelled Torero, and were surging away towards Chapultepec. Kate felt that sudden dark feeling, that she didn't want to go.

According to radiocarbon dating, the maritime Bell Beaker culture originated in Portugal in the Tagus River estuary around 2800–2700 BCE, and later extended throughout Western Europe from northern Great Britain to western Germany. This culture is responsible for the spread of copper metallurgy through its entire area of influence. Its name is derived from the characteristic form of its ceramics, produced in the shape of an inverted bell. These Bell Beaker ceramics were prestige items, demonstrating social status. Weaponry and other objects made of copper, as well as gold jewelry, have been found alongside Bell Beaker ceramics in the tombs of warriors. Researchers have determined their dates using carbon-14 dating and have concluded that all of these ceramics can be placed at the end of the Copper Age, during the transition from the 3rd to the 2nd millennium BCE. 1 Bowl Bell Beaker culture El Acebuchal, Carmona, Seville ca. 2400-1900 BCE earthenware E21 2 Bowl with Stand Bell Beaker culture El Acebuchal, Carmona, Seville ca. 2400-1900 BCE earthenware E22a (dish), E 22b (stand) Archaeologist George Bonsor found these two Bell Beaker ceramics—a dish and a stand—together during his 1896–97 excavations undertaken at El Acebuchal.
