Florence Stevens
No full textFlorence travelled with her parents, brother and sisters from Queensland in a ?table top' wagon and a smaller wagon originally heading to Western Australia, but her sister became ill so they stopped at Pine Creek. In 1905 Florence at thirteen years old caught the train from Pine Creek to Palmerston (Darwin) for the opening of the A.H. and I. Society's Show on the August 1st by Government Resident, Mr Justice Herbert. After a week in Palmerston, staying at the Hotel Victoria, she caught the train back to Pine Creek.
Florence wrote down in the form of an essay an account of the adventurous journey and it won first prize at the 'Show'. It was composed in a beautiful copper-plate, written with an exactitude and elegance slice of history.
On Thursday 22 January 1913 Florence married her husband George Stevens of Hodgson Downs at All Soul's Church, Pine Creek and after the ceremony drove to the Institute Hall for the reception. They managed Elsey Station and in 1939 after moving from one station to another settled in Darwin then after the bombing in 1942 she was evacuated with '13 Nuns and 30 half castes'.
Firth Court in Malak is named after her parents Francis and Harriet Firth.Domestic WorkerPionee
The reduction of metaphysics and the play of violence in the poetry of Wallace Stevens
No full textPhDThe thesis demonstrates how Wallace Stevens' poetry utilises pre-Socratic philosophy in overcoming post-Kantian dislocation from the 'thing-in-itself'. I initially consider Stevens’ poetry in terms of Hans-Georg Gadamer's ontological conception of the 'play' of art, an interactive existence overlooked by Kant. Through the ‘play’ of Stevens’ poems the reading audience are implicated in their reduction to being. The origin of this conception leads Gadamer back to Parmenides who Stevens had read. I argue that Stevens’ poetry ‘plays’ its audience into an ontological ground in an effort to show that his ‘reduction of metaphysics’ is not dry philosophical imposition, but is enacted by our encounter with the poems themselves. Through an analysis of how the language and form of Stevens’ poems attempt to reduce mind and world to concepts that parallel Parmenides’ poetic sense of being, and Heraclitus’ notion of becoming, the thesis uncovers the ground in which Stevens attempts a reconnection with the ‘thing-in-itself’. It is through the experience of reconnecting to an ontological centre, which his poetry presents as the human project, that Stevens’ poetry also presents itself as a means of replacing religion.From here we turn to Emmanuel Levinas and Jacques Derrida for an exposition of how such a reduction reduces the ‘Other’ to ‘otherness’ and their worry that this reduction legitimates violence within the thought of Martin Heidegger and Parmenides. From this I make a case for how such reductions are connected to what I refer to as 'the play of violence' in Stevens' poetry, and to refer this violence back to the mythology Stevens' poetry shares with certain pre-Socratics and with Greek tragedy. This shows how such mythic rhythms are apparent within the work of Friedrich Nietzsche, Heidegger and Gadamer, and how these rhythms release a poetic understanding of the violence of a ‘reduction of metaphysics’
You Alls Doins
No full textWeekly newspaper from Lexington, Oklahoma that includes local, territorial, and national news along with advertising. On February 22, 1899, Oscar M. Stevens published the first issue of You Alls Doins. Stevens’ brother Ed came up with the unique name for the paper. From the beginning Doins was a Democratic newspaper and switched its publication day from Thursday to Friday in support of their chosen party. In less than seven months, the circulation reached over a thousand subscribers probably due to its unusual name and content. The paper merged with the Cleveland County Leader to become the Lexington Leader
