Thomas M. Disch

Thomas Michael Disch (February 2, 1940 – July 4, 2008) was an American science fiction author and poet. He won the Hugo Award for Best Related Book – previously called "Best Non-Fiction Book" – in 1999, and he had two other Hugo nominations and nine Nebula Award nominations to his credit, plus one win of the John W. Campbell Memorial Award, a Rhysling Award, and two Seiun Awards, among others.

In the 1960s, his work began appearing in science-fiction magazines. His critically acclaimed science fiction novels, The Genocides, Camp Concentration, 334 and On Wings of Song are major contributions to the New Wave science fiction movement. In 1996, his book The Castle of Indolence: On Poetry, Poets, and Poetasters was nominated for the National Book Critics Circle Award, and in 1999, Disch won the Nonfiction Hugo for The Dreams Our Stuff Is Made Of, a meditation on the impact of science fiction on our culture, as well as the Michael Braude Award for Light Verse. Among his other nonfiction work, he wrote theatre and opera criticism for The New York Times, The Nation, and other periodicals. He also published several volumes of poetry as Tom Disch.

Lace

Lace is a delicate fabric made of yarn or thread in an open weblike pattern, made by machine or by hand.

Originally linen, silk, gold, or silver threads were used. Now lace is often made with cotton thread, although linen and silk threads are still available. Manufactured lace may be made of synthetic fiber. A few modern artists make lace with a fine copper or silver wire instead of thread. A totally different scale are the architectural lace fences by Dutch designers.

Etymology

The word lace is from Middle English, from Old French las, noose, string, from Vulgar Latin *laceum, from Latin laqueus, noose; probably akin to lacere, to entice or ensnare.

Types

There are many types of lace, classified by how they are made. These include:

  • Needle lace, such as Venetian Gros Point, is made using a needle and thread. This is the most flexible of the lace-making arts. While some types can be made more quickly than the finest of bobbin laces, others are very time-consuming. Some purists regard needle lace as the height of lace-making. The finest antique needle laces were made from a very fine thread that is not manufactured today.

    Isch Liebe Disch

    by: Tic Tac Toe

    Ich fühl' mich leer hab' kein' Bock was zu machen
    Ich lieg' auf meinem Bett und kram' in alten Sachen
    Da fällst du mir entgegen das hat mir noch gefehlt
    In Gedanken hab' ich so oft deine Nummer gewählt
    Wo du wohl steckst es ist schon so lange her
    Und trotzdem ist es so als wenn es gestern wär'
    Es tut gut ich spür' die Sonne und den Süden
    Ich vermiss' dich denn keiner konnte so schön lügen
    Mon bébé oh mon chouchou isch liebe disch
    Oh mon cherie du bist alles für misch
    Si je pense à ce moment de folie
    Du bist so schön du bist so süpersexy
    Oh mon amour isch lass disch nie mehr allein
    Oh mon cherie es soll für immer sein
    J'si passé le plus bon été d'amour
    Du bist für misch ein Wunder der Natur
    Es war 'ne sternenklare Nacht es wurd' langsam hell
    Wir waren viel zu geil und dann ging alles ganz schnell wir waren völlig drauf -
    total durchgeknallt
    Und ha'm mit uns'rer Liebe den Strand beschallt
    Mmhh, was würd' ich jetzt dafür geben
    Diese kleine süße Lüge noch einmal zu erleben
    Hand in Hand am Strand unsere Liebe zu beschwör'n
    Und noch einmal deine Worte zu hören
    (Chorus)
    Am letzten Abend hast du mir den Himmel auf Erden versprochen
    Du warst dir sicher mein Herz ist gebrochen
    Ich spiel' das Spiel aber genauso gut wie du
    Und darum hör' mir jetzt mal zu
    Oh mon amour hast du denn wirklich geglaubt
    Du kleiner Sack hast mir die Unschuld geraubt
    Si je pense à ce moment c'est la vie
    Oh dein Popo ist wirklich süpersexy
    Oh mon amour las' mich nie mehr allein
    Oh mon cherie es soll für immer sein
    J'ai passé le plus bon été d'amour
    Mein starker Mann du bist ein Wunder der Natur
