August 20th 1872, saw the death of the Scottish " laureate of the nursery", William Miller.

Miller was born in Glasgow in 1810 and spent most of his boyhood in what is now the city’s Parkhead area. His ambition to become a surgeon was ended by serious illness and he was eventually apprenticed as a wood-turner. He became a skilled craftsman, developing a particular talent for cabinet-making. Early in his life he began writing poetry and children’s rhymes, mainly in the Scots language he used in everyday life.

His song Wee Willie Winkie along with other verse by Miller, first appeared in Whistle Binkie: Stories for the Fireside, a compendium of songs, in 1841, it went on to appear in further editions of that and many, many more publications since then. However it was not received well at first, indeed the editor of Whistle-Binkie,David Robertson was not keen on the grumpy figure personifying sleep and it was received with mixed opinions by Robertson’s friends. To settle the dissent, he dispatched the manuscript to R. M. Ballantyne of Edinburgh (who had himself contributed much to the publication and was the writer of over 100 books in his lifetime) who asserted, according to the Perthshire Advertiser that:

“There is not at this moment in the whole range of Scottish songs, anything more exquisite in its kind than that little Warlock of the Nursery, “Wee Willie Winkie.”

Miller suffered from ill health throughout his life and never managed to make a career solely as a poet and continued to work as a cabinet-maker and wood-turner for most of his life, most of the time from his own house, he did however have his fans, Lord Jeffrey, founder of the prestigious Edinburgh Review, being one, another was the Countess of Selkirk, and it was during one of his bouts of illness it became known she helped the erstwhile poet out when reported in The Glasgow Herald in 1846 that…:

“We learn that the Countess of Selkirk has transmitted to Mr David Robertson of this city, by the hands of the Rev.Mr Underwood of Kirkeudbright, the sum of £2, for behoof of William Miller, the author of “Wee Willie Winkie,” &c.; her Ladyship having been impressed with a favourable opinion of the poet from having perused his Nursery Rhymes. Mr Miller is so much improved, that he is now able to pursue his occupation of a wood-turner.”

In November 1871, an ulceration of the leg forced William give up his trade. Despite the increasing frailties of his body, his mind remained as sharp as ever and he continued to write and disseminate poetry, works which appeared in publications such as The Scotsman. Learning of his condition as an invalid, The Greenock Telegraph and Clyde Shipping Gazette on the 1st March 1872 urged its readers to furnish monetary contributions ‘for this deserving old poet:

WILLIAM MILLER THE POET.

“Perhaps the most delicious nursery song that has been written by a modern minstrel for the delectation of the “bairns” in these northern regions is the song of “Wee Willie Winkie.” We are sorry to hear that the writer of it has for a long time past been an invalid, and that he is in poor circumstances. William Miller has a strong claim on the public for some help to smooth his declining years. He is now upwards of sixty, and at his advanced age, afflicted as he is with serious disease of the limbs, there is no prospect of his ever being able again to resume work. By trade he is a wood turner, and he resides in Glasgow, of which city he is a native. One who knows him says that his heart seems still young, his mind still vigorous; but he feels his position irksome and his spirit galled that he cannot now, as formerly, earn by the swear of his brow the bread of independence.”

You have to love the language of the day used in these newspapers!

The following July, Miller stayed at Blantyre for a time, hoping that the town’s airs – the settlement was 8 miles from Glasgow – would reinvigorate him. The trip proved futile and he was soon returned to his son’s house in the city, having suffered a paralysis of the lower limbs. He passed away, destitute, at the age of 62 on the 20th August, 1872.

The poet subsequently received a number of obituary notices in the newspapers lamenting the loss of this Scottish talent. The account below, in The Greenock Telegraph and Clyde Shipping Gazette on the 22nd August, 1872), reports the grim news:

DEATH OF WILLIAM MILLER, THE POET

“The death is announced of William Miller, the nursery poet. He was born in Glasgow in August, 1810. He was early apprenticed to a wood turner, and by diligent application to business made himself one of the best workmen of his craft; and even in his later years there were few who could equal him in the quality of his work. It is, however, as a poet that he is known to fame. In his early youth he published several pieces in the Day and other newspapers; but from the fact that no record of these productions was observed, it is impossible to know when they issued from his pen.

The first thing that brought him into public notice was the publication of the nursery song “Willie Winkie.” The MS. of this song was sent to Mr. Ballantine in Edinburgh, who gave it unqualified praise, as being the very best poem of its kind that he had ever seen. This led to the publication of the poem, and it at once attracted a large amount of attention. This was followed by a number of other pieces of a similar description, all of which were received with great favour, and led to the author’s acquaintance with Lord Jeffrey and other gentlemen of literary tastes.

The best of his nursery songs which have obtained for him the well-earned title of the Laureate of the nursery were all written before he was 36 years of age; but it was not till 1863 that, at the request of several friends, he collected together and published a small volume, entitled “Nursery Songs and other Poems.” It had a wide circulation and has earned for the author a reputation that will never decay.

Miller is buried in Tollcross Cemetery in a plot that does not bear his name a sad state of affairs that led to friends and admirers raising a memorial stone by public subscription and it stands in the Glasgow Necropolis, near the Bridge of Sighs.

In 2009, Glasgow City Council unveiled a tribute to the poet at his former dwelling, 4 Ark Lane in Dennistoun, erecting a bronze plaque on the wall of the Tennent’s Brewery which now sits on the site of William Miller’s house. A blue plaque in the Trongate also serves as a quirky tribute to his most famous creation, declaring that ‘Wee Willie Winkie was spotted here in his nightgown’ in 1841.

It is clear that, even now, William Miller’s pyjama-clad figure still urges children to get into their beds and sleep as a nursery song learnt and replayed the world over

Here is the Scots version of ‘Wee Willie Winkie,’ a rhyme anglicised very soon after its publication:

Wee Willie Winkie runs through the toon,

Up stairs and doon stairs, in his nicht-goon,

Tirling at the window, cryin’ at the lock,

Are the weans in their bed, for it’s now ten o’clock?

Hey, Willie Winkie, are ye coming ben?

The cat’s singing grey thrums to the sleeping hen,

The dog’s spelder’d on the floor, and disna gie a cheep,

But here’s a waukrife laddie that winna fa’ asleep.

Onything but sleep, you rogue, glow’ring like the mune,

Rattling in an airn jug wi’ an airn spoone,

Rumbling, tumbling round about, crawing like a cock,

Skirlin’ like a kenna-what, wauk’ning sleeping fock.

Hey, Willie Winkie – the wean’s in a creel,

Wambling aff a bodie’s knee like a very eel,

Ruggin’ at the cat’s lug, and raveling a’ her thrums-

Hey, Willie Winkie – see, there he comes!’

Wearied is the mither that has a stoorie wean,

A wee stumple stoussie, that canna rin his lane,

That has a battle aye wi’ sleep before he’ll close an ee

But a kiss frae aff his rosy lips gies strength anew to me.

🕊️🌺Wendy:

I am not afraid to declare further that we will soon experience a healing revival that will surpass what happened in the great healing revivals of the pastcentury. It will surpass the meetings of Aimee Semple McPherson, of Dr. Charles Price, of Katherine Kuhlman, of A.A. Allen, of Jack Coe and of other great ministers of God. It will happen be-cause we are living in the last days and the glory of the Church will not be less than it has been in days gone by. It will be greater.

As we move on into the twenty-first century, we will see things far greater than we have experienced in this past century. This Church age will not end with a whimper. Revival fires are stirring, and we are seeing unusual signs and wonders wrought by the mighty hand of God. This is only the beginning.

Pat Robertson recently had crowds of nearly half a million people in Hyderabad in India with super-natural manifestations of God, and there is an ever-increasing glory evident in Benny Hinn?s meet-ings.

The estimated crowd in attendance at his meet-ing on the steps of the Capital Building during the Washington for Jesus rally was two hundred and fifty thousand and great things were accomplished for the Kingdom of God. His recent meeting in Bogota, Colombia drew crowds of eighty thousand and more and great miracles were recorded. These same types of miracles will happen for many lesser-known servants of God as well in the days ahead.

The Lord spoke to us last year that the big trees ofthe forest must not overshadow the little trees and prevent them from growing. The older, more ma-ture ministries must make way for younger ministries to develop and flourish.

My uncle, Mother?s brother, Dr. William A. Ward, published a new book in 1998 called Miracles That I Have Seen. I had heard him tell many of the stories he recorded in his book, but some of them were even new to me. When the book first came out, I was very busy getting ready to go overseas, but I couldn?t re-sist opening it at random and reading a few pages.

The story I opened to first was about a meeting he conducted in the Bahamas. The first night of his meeting there were three or four blind people present, and they were all healed. The people were so excited that the next day they went in search of blind people to invite. That night they brought more than two hundred blind people to the meeting. He prayed for every one of them, and all except four or five were healed.

The congregation was so excited by these miracles that they looked for greater challenges for the Lord.

They asked Uncle Bill to go with them to a local leper colony. When they got there, a medical officer tried to refuse them entry. ?I?m very sorry,? he said, ?but this is a contagious disease. You can?t go in and lay your hands on these people because you might con-tract leprosy. If you like, I will bring out a few, buteven then, you will have to stand back from them.?

He marked a line fifty feet away and asked the min-isters to stand behind that line as they prayed. In this way, Uncle Bill prayed for fifty-six lepers.

As he was finishing his prayer, he felt led to re-member those who had not been allowed out, those who were too sick to be even that close to others.

?Heal them as well,? he prayed.

Many felt the touch of God, but the medical of-ficer had a very strict policy on releasing his patients.

No leper could be declared cured until he had been examined once every two weeks for a whole year.

If, after that time, there seemed to be no more symp-toms of leprosy, that person could be released.

A little more than a year later, Uncle Bill was at-tending a meeting where Brother David Nunn was preaching and heard the preacher tell about an evan-gelist who had gone to the Bahamas, prayed for a group of lepers, and one hundred lepers were healed. Uncle Bill went to Brother Nunn and said, ?I am sure I was the evangelist you were talking about, but I only remember praying for fifty-six lep-ers.? Later he called to speak with the pastor who had taken him to that leper colony.

He told him what he had heard in David Nunn?s meeting and asked him what had actually happened. ?I only remem-ber praying for fifty-six people,? he repeated.

?Brother Ward,? the pastor replied, ?do you re-member that when you finished praying for the fifty-six lepers outside you also prayed for those who could not come out? Altogether, a hundred lepers were healed, and they closed the leprosarium.? Oh, praise God, we will see it again and again in the days just ahead.☕️Ruth Heflin

Hello! Every year I hold the annual Davey Awards for brilliance in motion pictures that move. This is our fourth year, and it promises to be one that is a year. Let's get to the nominees. Please note that there are some big movies (The Boy and the Heron, Poor Things, The Iron Claw, Ferrari, Wonka, The Taste of Things, for example) that I haven't been able to see and won't be able to see for a while.

Soi kèo Manchester United vs Liverpool, 22h30 ngày 24/10/2021

Soi kèo Manchester United vs Liverpool, 22h30 ngày 24/10/2021

Soi kèo Club nhận định kết quả trận đấu giữa Manchester United vs Liverpool thuộc khuôn khổ vòng 9 Premier League. Trận đấu đầy duyên nợ này liệu sẽ kết thúc với phần thắng bất ngờ thuộc về chủ nhà hay đội khách tiếp tục nối dài chuỗi trận thăng hoa?

Soi kèo Manchester United vs Liverpool

Lữ đoàn đỏ đang thể hiện phong độ ấn tượng trong thời gian qua, trên mọi đấu trường họ đè bẹp từng đối thủ một cách không hề thương tiếc.

Trận gần nhất tại Premier League họ thắng Watford trên sân khách với tỉ số 0-5, đó là trận đấu mà bộ ba Salah – Mane – Firmino đều lập công, trong đó tiền đạo người Brazil có sự quay trở lại không thể tuyệt vời hơn với một hattrick trong ngày mà cả Mane cũng cán mốc 100 bàn thắng tại giải đấu cao nhất nước Anh.

Với sức mạnh hàng công đáng gớm như này, đội quân của Klopp tự tin đánh chiếm pháo đài Old Trafford để tiếp tục cạnh tranh ngôi đầu bảng với Chelsea cũng như Manchester City đang bám đuổi ngay phía sau rất gắt gao.

Ngược lại với đội khách, Manchester United đang có dấu hiệu chững lại rõ rệt trong khoảng thời gian cuối tháng 9 đến thời điểm hiện tại.Họ mới giành được 1/5 chiến thắng gần nhất, riêng tại giải quốc nội họ đã thua 2 và hòa 1 trong 3 trận đã qua.

Trận thua trên sân King Power của Leicester City mới đây để lộ rõ những điểm yếu chết người nơi tuyến dưới, H. Maguire gần đây mắc quá nhiều lỗi ngớ ngẩn, Lindelof vẫn chưa khẳng định được quá nhiều điều trong khi Varane đang dính chấn thương.

Soi kèo Manchester United vs Liverpool

Hiệu ứng C. Ronaldo đã không còn và dù hàng công vẫn luôn biết cách ghi bàn thì hàng phòng ngự lại đáp trả lại quá nhanh chóng bằng các bàn thua, cách vận hành lối chơi của Ole đang có vấn đề và ông thầy người Na Uy vẫn đang khá loay hoay để tìm ra cách vá víu nơi tuyến dưới.

Điều mà các fan Manchester United có thể hy vọng là tinh thần thi đấu trong các trận cầu với Liverpool, dù sao chất lượng nhân sự của họ không phải tệ và vẫn thường xuyên có được những màn trình diễn bất ngờ.

Nhận định kèo châu Á MU vs Liverpool: Chọn Man -1/4

Dù chủ nhà không có được phong độ tốt nhưng giới phân tích vẫn trao rất nhiều niềm tin cho họ khi xếp cửa trên với mức chấp khiêm tốn. Với mức chấp này chủ nhà đã từng hạ đội khách 2-1 trên sân nhà vào tháng 7/2018.

Trên sân khách trong 6 lần viếng thăm thì Liverpool cũng mới chỉ có 2 lần được hưởng niềm vui trọn vẹn, 4 trận sân nhà từ đầu mùa của Manchester United họ thi đấu cũng khá tốt với 2 lần giành trọn 3 điểm.

Với tính chất của một trận đấu mang nhiều duyên nợ, đội khách chưa chắc đã có thể thắng dễ dàng như trận đấu mà họ phải giáp mặt với Manchester City cách đây không lâu, lựa chọn chủ nhà mang tới nhiều niềm tin hơn cả.

Soi kèo tài xỉu Manchester United vs Liverpool: Chọn tài 2:3/4

Mức tỉ lệ tài xỉu bàn thắng được niêm yết khá cao bởi Liverpool đang có hàng công sắc bén, 22 bàn sau 8 trận là một thông số quá khủng khiếp, trên sân khách họ ghi đều đặn 3 bàn/trận trong 5 trận gần nhất. Chủ nhà cũng đạt hiệu suất cao với 16 bàn/8 trận, trung bình 2 bàn/trận.

Ở hai lần gặp nhau gần nhất cũng có tới hơn 5 bàn/trận được ghi, riêng các lần chạm trán tại Old Trafford thì 4/6 trận đều kết thúc với ít nhất 3 bàn thắng.

Dự đoán tỷ số: Manchester United 2 – 1 Liverpool

Thống kê phong độ Manchester United vs Liverpool

Liverpool chưa để thua trận nào từ đầu mùa, họ thắng 5/8 trận tại Premier League đã qua.

Cả 5 trận gần nhất của đội khách đều có ít nhất 3 bàn thắng được ghi.

Cả 5 trận của Manchester United gần nhất họ thủng lưới đều đặn ít nhất 1 bàn/trận.

Chỉ số phạt góc của cả hai đội đều ở mức cao tại giải, lần lượt là 6.3 và 7.7 trong 3 trận đã đấu.

Đội hình xuất phát dự kiến hai đội:

Manchester United: David de Gea, V. Lindelöf, H. Maguire, L. Shaw, A. Wan-Bissaka, N. Matić, P. Pogba, Bruno Fernandes, Cristiano Ronaldo, J. Sancho, M. Greenwood.

Liverpool: Alisson, J. Matip, V. van Dijk, A. Robertson, J. Milner, J. Henderson, Fabinho, C. Jones, Mohamed Salah, S. Mané, Diogo Jota.

ugust 20th 1872, saw the death of the Scottish "the laureate of the nursery", William Miller.

Miller was born in Glasgow in 1810 and spent most of his boyhood in what is now the city’s Parkhead area. His ambition to become a surgeon was ended by serious illness and he was eventually apprenticed as a wood-turner. He became a skilled craftsman, developing a particular talent for cabinet-making. Early in his life he began writing poetry and children’s rhymes, mainly in the Scots language he used in everyday life.

His song Wee Willie Winkie along with other verse by Miller, first appeared in Whistle Binkie: Stories for the Fireside, a compendium of songs, in 1841, it went on to appear in further editions of that and many, many more publications since then. However it was not received well at first, indeed the editor of Whistle-Binkie,David Robertson was not keen on the grumpy figure personifying sleep and it was received with mixed opinions by Robertson’s friends. To settle the dissent, he dispatched the manuscript to R. M. Ballantyne of Edinburgh (who had himself contributed much to the publication and was the writer of over 100 books in his lifetime) who asserted, according to the Perthshire Advertiser that:

“There is not at this moment in the whole range of Scottish songs, anything more exquisite in its kind than that little Warlock of the Nursery, “Wee Willie Winkie.”

Miller suffered from ill health throughout his life and never managed to make a career solely as a poet and continued to work as a cabinet-maker and wood-turner for most of his life, most of the time from his own house, he did however have his fans, Lord Jeffrey, founder of the prestigious Edinburgh Review, being one, another was the Countess of Selkirk, and it was during one of his bouts of illness it became known she helped the erstwhile poet out when reported in The Glasgow Herald in 1846 that…:

“We learn that the Countess of Selkirk has transmitted to Mr David Robertson of this city, by the hands of the Rev.Mr Underwood of Kirkeudbright, the sum of £2, for behoof of William Miller, the author of “Wee Willie Winkie,” &c.; her Ladyship having been impressed with a favourable opinion of the poet from having perused his Nursery Rhymes. Mr Miller is so much improved, that he is now able to pursue his occupation of a wood-turner.”

In November 1871, an ulceration of the leg forced William give up his trade. Despite the increasing frailties of his body, his mind remained as sharp as ever and he continued to write and disseminate poetry, works which appeared in publications such as The Scotsman. Learning of his condition as an invalid, The Greenock Telegraph and Clyde Shipping Gazette on the 1st March 1872 urged its readers to furnish monetary contributions ‘for this deserving old poet:

WILLIAM MILLER THE POET.

“Perhaps the most delicious nursery song that has been written by a modern minstrel for the delectation of the “bairns” in these northern regions is the song of “Wee Willie Winkie.” We are sorry to hear that the writer of it has for a long time past been an invalid, and that he is in poor circumstances. William Miller has a strong claim on the public for some help to smooth his declining years. He is now upwards of sixty, and at his advanced age, afflicted as he is with serious disease of the limbs, there is no prospect of his ever being able again to resume work. By trade he is a wood turner, and he resides in Glasgow, of which city he is a native. One who knows him says that his heart seems still young, his mind still vigorous; but he feels his position irksome and his spirit galled that he cannot now, as formerly, earn by the swear of his brow the bread of independence.”

You have to love the language of the day used in these newspapers!

The following July, Miller stayed at Blantyre for a time, hoping that the town’s airs – the settlement was 8 miles from Glasgow – would reinvigorate him. The trip proved futile and he was soon returned to his son’s house in the city, having suffered a paralysis of the lower limbs. He passed away, destitute, at the age of 62 on the 20th August, 1872.

The poet subsequently received a number of obituary notices in the newspapers lamenting the loss of this Scottish talent. The account below, in The Greenock Telegraph and Clyde Shipping Gazette on the 22nd August, 1872), reports the grim news:

DEATH OF WILLIAM MILLER, THE POET

“The death is announced of William Miller, the nursery poet. He was born in Glasgow in August, 1810. He was early apprenticed to a wood turner, and by diligent application to business made himself one of the best workmen of his craft; and even in his later years there were few who could equal him in the quality of his work. It is, however, as a poet that he is known to fame. In his early youth he published several pieces in the Day and other newspapers; but from the fact that no record of these productions was observed, it is impossible to know when they issued from his pen.

The first thing that brought him into public notice was the publication of the nursery song “Willie Winkie.” The MS. of this song was sent to Mr. Ballantine in Edinburgh, who gave it unqualified praise, as being the very best poem of its kind that he had ever seen. This led to the publication of the poem, and it at once attracted a large amount of attention. This was followed by a number of other pieces of a similar description, all of which were received with great favour, and led to the author’s acquaintance with Lord Jeffrey and other gentlemen of literary tastes.

The best of his nursery songs which have obtained for him the well-earned title of the Laureate of the nursery were all written before he was 36 years of age; but it was not till 1863 that, at the request of several friends, he collected together and published a small volume, entitled “Nursery Songs and other Poems.” It had a wide circulation and has earned for the author a reputation that will never decay.

Miller is buried in Tollcross Cemetery in a plot that does not bear his name a sad state of affairs that led to friends and admirers raising a memorial stone by public subscription and it stands in the Glasgow Necropolis, near the Bridge of Sighs.

In 2009, Glasgow City Council unveiled a tribute to the poet at his former dwelling, 4 Ark Lane in Dennistoun, erecting a bronze plaque on the wall of the Tennent’s Brewery which now sits on the site of William Miller’s house. A blue plaque in the Trongate also serves as a quirky tribute to his most famous creation, declaring that ‘Wee Willie Winkie was spotted here in his nightgown’ in 1841.

It is clear that, even now, William Miller’s pyjama-clad figure still urges children to get into their beds and sleep as a nursery song learnt and replayed the world over

Here is the Scots version of ‘Wee Willie Winkie,’ a rhyme anglicised very soon after its publication:

Wee Willie Winkie runs through the toon,

Up stairs and doon stairs, in his nicht-goon,

Tirling at the window, cryin’ at the lock,

Are the weans in their bed, for it’s now ten o’clock?

Hey, Willie Winkie, are ye coming ben?

The cat’s singing grey thrums to the sleeping hen,

The dog’s spelder’d on the floor, and disna gie a cheep,

But here’s a waukrife laddie that winna fa’ asleep.

Onything but sleep, you rogue, glow’ring like the mune,

Rattling in an airn jug wi’ an airn spoone,

Rumbling, tumbling round about, crawing like a cock,

Skirlin’ like a kenna-what, wauk’ning sleeping fock.

Hey, Willie Winkie – the wean’s in a creel,

Wambling aff a bodie’s knee like a very eel,

Ruggin’ at the cat’s lug, and raveling a’ her thrums-

Hey, Willie Winkie – see, there he comes!’

Wearied is the mither that has a stoorie wean,

A wee stumple stoussie, that canna rin his lane,

That has a battle aye wi’ sleep before he’ll close an ee

But a kiss frae aff his rosy lips gies strength anew to me.

Cappelle Calling - 14 augustus 2023

De Filmplaat was gekozen vanwege de 65ste verjaardag van Madonna deze week.
