Walter de la Mare poem

  Poem by Walter de la Mare.

  When hungry it is good to eat,
  When thirsty, sweet to drink,
  When tired -- to bathe the weary feet,
  When solitary, to think.

Excerpts from an interview. 
'What is the most important thing for you aside from music?
People. It's more important than anything. People in your life. <...> That brings it all home to me. That's what life's about. It's people. It's really the only thing we have. <...> Ultimately, it's the most important thing that we have, really, it's people and the relationships that we form. And everything else is just, you know, is a bonus, it'a decoration, really, you know. <...> We can take people for granted, you know, especially people you love. For whatever hang-offs we've got. It's usually not their fault, but it's important to try to remember that, especially family <...> The band's my family, you know. What we're doing.'

Miscellaneous quotes from Jane Austen

Claflin surname origin

  Sam Claflin is a British actor who became famous after starring in the "Pirates of the Carribean: On Stranger Tides" (2011). The next noticeable role was in the "Snow White and the Huntsman" (2012).
  What does surname Claflin mean? What is the probable origin?

  All I managed to find is this:
  "Claflin Meaning:  the son of Flaitheamb (ruler; lord)." It corresponsd with the role of the Prince doesn't it? He has the kind of appearance suggestive of a positive character.
   The other piece is this of information is this http://www.ancestry.com.au/name-origin?surname=claflin, which doesn't quite fit, since the actor is no Irish.

Adriana Tarábková in 'Dievča'

  Adriana Tarábková is famous for her role in the fairy tale 'King Blackbird/(Thrushbeard)' (("Kráľ Drozdia brada" 1984) directed by Miloslav Luther. Some sources say that the director saw her photo in the "Dievča" sewing fashion magazine. However there has not been anything on the net so far to prove that Adriana was featured in the 1984 magazine and before. But there are her photos in some later than 1984 issues, for example http://www.antikvariat-5d.cz/itemdetail.aspx?iid=978140 1986 03, Dievča časopis. 

  I've recently bought a 1 1985 issue from http://www.ms77.ru/ with a few photos of her. Perhaps she modelled not before but after the film had been released (?).

  Here are the pics. 

 

  By the way, there is a Miroslav Luther website, and there is a sort of trailer with the original in Czech (or Slovak?) (not in German) -- it would be good to have a full video like that. http://www.miloslavluther.sk/?categ=dlhometrazne_filmy&page=kral_drozdia_brada As well there are  some good quality images at the bottom of the page.
