inferno, immanent, Confronts 'Antennagate', prompts /ignites debate, prone to, probe, inferno aboard

The January 1 earthquake caused a massive fire on Asaichi Street, a popular tourist area in Wajima City. The inferno burned down a museum dedicated to manga artist Nagai Go, who hails from Wajima and is known for works such as “Mazinger Z” and “Devilman.”

Rodin created a large number of groups and figures for his Gates, drawing inspiration firstly from Inferno, the first book in the Divine Comedy written by Dante Alighieri in the early 14th century. This is notably the origin of the groups featuring Paolo and Francesca (the subjects shown in the famous piece The Kiss) and count Ugolino. Little by little he began to incorporate a new source of inspiration, Charles Baudelaire’s Les Fleurs du mal [The Flowers of Evil], the sensual, poisonous and voluptuous atmosphere of which bore a deep fascination for the artist.

Henry VI consists of three plays dealing with breakdown. The ruling class cannot rule themselves. Henry VI can rule his own self, which is immanent, but not other selves, which are transient, and the play shows a society sinking back to a nonsocial herd. Henry V was a success—we'll take up Shakespeare's personal view of him later. Henry IV was a usurper. Richard II was a bad king, but not a tyrant. The child king, Henry VI, affords an opportunity—it is not a necessity for things to go wrong.
