The unevenness extends to the writing, which reads well enough when Steinke is recalling moments that left an indelible mark on her memory, her perspective widened by the distance of time.
|

But with the distance of time, it's clear how personal the movie is to Scorsese, and how assiduously he tries to respect the character of Jesus, even in the midst of a daring story that reimagines Jesus (played by Willem Dafoe) as a struggling human man rather than the ethereal being of Hollywood's (and many Christians') imagining.

One feels, from the distance of time, the strange sorrow and ex post facto dread that contemplating art made on the cusp of great change can elicit: Commodore Perry's black-hulled ships had forced Japan open to the West in 210; by 220, the shogunate would be overthrown, and Edo, once a medieval fishing village, would become the imperial seat and renamed Tokyo.

His chronology is tolerably exact, but there are mistakes enough to prove that he recorded events at a certain distance of time. Both on foreign affairs and on questions of domestic policy he is unusually well informed. His practical experience as an administrator and his official connections stood him in good stead. He is particularly useful on points of constitutional history.

Regarding her ability to sing the heaviest as well as the lightest roles, she told James Fleetwood, > It's study; it's Nature. I'm doing nothing special, you know. Even Lucia, > Anna Bolena, Puritani, all these operas were created for one type of > soprano, the type that sang Norma, Fidelio, which was Malibran of course. > And a funny coincidence last year, I was singing Anna Bolena and Sonnambula, > same months and the same distance of time as Giuditta Pasta had sung in the > nineteenth century... So I'm really not doing anything extraordinary.

Blanchard was the inventor of two separate and distinct systems of stenography, the first of which he published under the title of A Complete System of Shorthand.A Complete System of Shorthand, being an improvement upon all the authors whose systems have yet been made public; is easy to be attained, and may be read again at any distance of time with the greatest certainty; it being properly adapted to the Latin tongue, and all sorts of technical terms, will make it extremely useful for law, physic, or divinity, Lond. 1779, 16 pp. and two plates.

This meant that the plausibility of great marvels had to be set at a greater distance of time ("long ago") and place ("far away"). This is a process that continues, and finally culminates in fantasy fiction having little connection, if any, to actual times and places. A number of elements from Arabian mythology and Persian mythology are now common in modern fantasy, such as genies, bahamuts, magic carpets, magic lamps, etc. When L. Frank Baum proposed writing a modern fairy tale that banished stereotypical elements he felt the genie, dwarf and fairy were stereotypes to avoid.

Marx also explains that due to the historical circumstances of capitalist society the values of commodities are usually studied by political economists in their most advanced form, i.e. money. These economists see the value of the commodity as something metaphysically autonomous from the social labor that is the actual determinant of value. Marx calls this fetishism—the process whereby the society that originally generated an idea eventually and through the distance of time forgets that the idea is actually a social and therefore all-too-human product. This society will no longer look beneath the veneer of the idea (in this case the value of commodities) as it currently exists.

The cathedral's south quire aisle and transept were giving cause for concern, so in 1751 they were buttressed, the roof lightened and supporting brickwork placed in the crypt. In 1798 Edward Hasted wrote a description of the cathedral and its environs, published as part of his The History and Topographical Survey of the County of Kent. He observed that "time has so far impaired the strength of the materials with which it is built, that in all likelihood the care and attention of the present chapter towards the support of it will not be sufficient to prevent the fall of a great part of it at no great distance of time".Hasted A new organ in 1791 completed the 18th-century works.

In his review of the 2006 remastered release, for Q magazine, Tom Doyle praised the album's ballads, such as "The Light That Has Lighted the World" and "Be Here Now", and suggested that "the distance of time helps to reveal its varied charms".Tom Doyle, "George Harrison Living in the Material World", Q, November 2006, p. 156. Mojos Mat Snow wrote of "this long overdue reissue" being "worth it alone for four wonderful songs", including "Don't Let Me Wait Too Long" and "The Day the World Gets 'Round", and concluded: "The rest is Hari Georgeson at his most preachy, but it's never less than musical and often light on its feet."Mat Snow, "George Harrison Living in the Material World", Mojo, November 2006, p. 124.

David Womersley, The Transformation of The Decline and Fall of the Roman Empire, (New York: Cambridge University Press, 1988), 128, 128 n.109. In the final chapter of the first volume of his History of the Decline and Fall of the Roman Empire (1776), Gibbon claims that Christians had greatly exaggerated the scale of the persecutions they suffered:Womersley, Transformation, 128. > After the church had triumphed over all her enemies, the interest as well as > vanity of the captives prompted them to magnify the merit of their > respective sufferings. A convenient distance of time or place gave an ample > scope to the progress of fiction; and the frequent instances which might be > alleged of holy martyrs, whose wounds had been instantly healed, whose > strength had been renewed, and whose lost members had miraculously been > restored, were extremely convenient for the purpose of removing every > difficulty, and of silencing every objection.

They were most sagacious in every thing, particularly so in all duties connected with duck-shooting. Governor Lloyd exchanged a Merino ram for the dog, at the time of the Merino fever, when such rams were selling for many hundred dollars, and took him over to his estate on the eastern shore of Maryland, where his progeny were well known for many years after; and may still be known there, and on the western shore, as the Sailor breed. The slut remained at Sparrows Point till her death, and her progeny were and are still well known, through Patapsco Neck, on the Gunpowder, and up the bay, amongst the duck-shooters, as unsurpassed for their purposes. I have heard both Doctor Stewart and Mr. Mercer relate most extraordinary instances of the sagacity and performance of both dog and slut, and would refer you to their friends for such particulars as I am unable, at this distance of time, to recollect with sufficient accuracy to repeat.

John Blakiston, the engineer who had blown in the gates, recalled: "Even this appalling sight I could look upon, I may almost say, with composure. It was an act of summary justice, and in every respect a most proper one; yet, at this distance of time, I find it a difficult matter to approve the deed, or to account for the feeling under which I then viewed it".Captain John Blakiston page 295 "Twelve Years Military Adventures in Three Quarters of the Globe or Memoirs of an officer who served in the Armies of His Majesty and of the East India Company between the years 1808 and 1814" Vol 1, published London by Henry Colburn, New Burlington Street 1829 The harsh retribution meted out to the sepoys snuffed out the unrest at a stroke and provided the history of the British in India with one of its true epics; for, as Gillespie admitted, with a delay of even five minutes, all would have been lost for the British. In all, nearly 350Philip Mason, page 241, A Matter of Honour – an Account of the Indian Army, of the rebels were killed, and about the same number wounded before the fighting had finished.
