Nigel Callaghan against Southampton in the 7-1 rout? Not only his first kick of the match, his first match as well.
The city of Odessa was founded during the reign of Catherine The Great and there are two versions of how it came to be named that. The first was that it was named after a Greek colony called Odessos, falsely believed to be nearby. What was the second?
It's an anagram of 2 modified Greek words. Ode - meaning song or story, and Sa - short for mousa, meaning source of inspiration. Putting the 2 together means literally 'Source of inspired song/story`. Is that what you're looking for ?
No, but it is directly linked to a language. The fact that Catherine the Great was in charge at the time should give a clue to which language.
Correction, not German. Although she originated from a German speaking environment the Court language was French, as in most European courts at that time. The French theory is that 'assez d'eau' = plenty of water, backwards is the origin. Bit dubious about that explanation though.
'None of the pioneers of Western civilization brought here his sense of the passage of time, his deification of the state or that ceaseless activity which feeds upon itself. No one has come to this land except as an enemy, a conqueror, or a visitor devoid of understanding`. 'Christ never came this far, nor did time, nor the individual soul, nor hope, nor the relation of cause to effect, nor reason nor history `. My question is - where is 'here' ? and who was the writer ?
The mention of Western civilization/coming as an enemy/absence of Christ suggests to me somewhere in Asia - possibly Afghanistan? Osama bin Laden?
I can give that to you Ak. It was Carlo Levi, and from his book 'Christ stopped at Eboli' describing his year in exile under Mussolini in the poverty ridden and malaria affected deep south of Italy. 'Here' was actually not Eboli but further south in Lucania (now called Basilicata) over to you.
