People writer Ralph Novak began his review with, "as a movie writer- director, William Peter Blatty is like David Lynch's good twin: he is eccentric, original, funny and daring, but he also has a sense of taste, pace, and restraint - which is by way of saying that this is one of the shrewdest, wittiest, most intense and most satisfying horror movies ever made". However, Owen Gleiberman of Entertainment Weekly gave a negative review. He wrote: "If Part II sequels are generally disappointing, Part IIIs are often much, much worse. It can seem as if nothing is going on in them except dim murmurings about the original movie — murmurings that mostly remind you of what isn't being delivered".

It opens with soft, pentatonic murmurings from the piano, expanding into a rather melancholy and songful aria for the viola. The middle is somewhat restless and anguished, before closing in a similar manner to the beginning. The pentatonic modality is used throughout, though there are also stirring false relations and chromatic sections. The premiere took place in a Macnaghten Concert on 19 January 1962 with Bernard Shore on viola and Eric Gritton at the piano.

The IRFB had turned down all of these requests, forbidding any member unions from planning or attending any such events.

Edited by Menachem Davis, page 108. In the continuation of the reading (, aliyah), God told Moses that God would rain bread from heaven, and twice as much on the sixth day. Moses and Aaron told the Israelites that they would see God's glory, for God had heard their murmurings against God, and the Israelites saw God's glory appear in a cloud. The fifth reading (, aliyah) and the fourth open portion (, petuchah) end here.

According to Bada'uni, there were also some murmurings against Hemu amongst the Afghans who were "sick of his usurpation … prayed for his downfall". Other historians describe Hemu's claim to be an attempt to set himself up as an independent ruler, throwing off the yoke of Adil Shah's authority. Abraham Eraly quotes Ahmad Yadgar who states in his history of the Afghans that Hemu "raised the imperial canopy over him, and ordered coin to be struck in his name". This was done in connivance with the Afghans to whom he had liberally distributed the spoils.

Entertainment Weekly critic Josef Woodard deemed Permanent a "still-vital compilation" that showcases Joy Division's "cool, beyond-punk voltage beneath Curtis' murmurings." Robert Christgau from The Village Voice said although others revered Ian Curtis' despair, he himself preferred how the band was showcased on the compilation, finding it complementary to 1995's The Best of New Order. Stephen Thomas Erlewine was less enthusiastic in his review for AllMusic, believing it was less useful than the 1988 compilation Substance and the studio albums it compiles tracks from, even though there is "a wealth of brilliant music".

This gave rise to the most damaging murmurings and was public scandal. The Civil Governor of Puerto Rico, Gonzalez de Linares insistently claimed shipment of Ducoudray - Holstein and other prisoners to Puerto Rico, but Dutch authorities in Curaçao refused to do so.

Ducoudray Holstein expressed that he did not fear for his life, because their executioners would not dare kill him when everyone knew that there was no evidence to justify such a thing.

The pressure was eased somewhat with a 2–0 derby victory over Manchester City on 2 November, a Richard Dunne own-goal adding to Ricardo Gardner's first league goal in six years.

After having already lost a member when Bobby Brown was terminated from the group, New Edition's future became uncertain when murmurings began to surface that lead singer Ralph Tresvant was eyeing a solo career as well. To pad his potential departure, singer Johnny Gill was voted into the group by Ricky Bell, Michael Bivins, and Ron DeVoe in 1987, despite Tresvant ultimately deciding to remain in place. A native of Washington DC, Johnny Gill is the only non-Boston native among the group's six members. New Edition's fifth studio release, Heart Break— which also featured Gill as the co-lead vocalist — was released in the summer of 1988.

Another identification among some modern scholars, of Sinai as al-Madhbah at Petra, would imply that the wilderness of Sin was roughly equatable with the central Arabah. The wilderness of Sin is mentioned by the Bible as being one of the places which the Israelites wandered through during their Exodus journey;, the similarly named wilderness of Zin is also mentioned by the Bible as having been a location through which the Israelites travelled. The biblical narrative states that on reaching the wilderness of Sin, the Israelites began to raise objections over the lack of food, as they had already consumed all the corn they had brought with them from Egypt. According to the account, Yahweh heard their murmurings, and so provided them with abundant manna and quail.

In May, 2017, a performance work, Estuary, based on his poems of rivers, harbours and tides, was premiered at The Capstone Theatre, Liverpool, as part of the Writing on the Wall Festival, featuring the dancer, Rachel Sweeney, the video artist Peter Dover, the vocalist Perri Alleyne- Hughes and the musician Neil Campbell, featuring Campbell's original musical interpretations of the poems. A CD of the work was simultaneously released. 2018 saw the publication by Palgrave of Sound at the Edge of Perception: the Aural Minutiae of Sand and other Worldly Murmurings, a sequel to Sound Poetics, published the previous year. To this was added The Sound Inside the Silence: Travels in the Sonic Imagination (Palgrave, 2019), thus completing a trilogy of books on the subject.

166-7 It is believed that the original painting mentioned in the letter depicting Marie's departure from Paris was rejected in favor of The Felicity of the Regency due to the more innocuous subject matter of the latter. Rubens, in the same letter, goes on to say, > "This subject, which does not touch on the particular political > considerations ... of this reign, nor have reference to any individual, has > been very well received, and I believe that had it been entrusted altogether > to me the business of the other subjects would have turned out better, > without any of the scandal or murmurings."McGrath, p. 12 Here, we can see evidence of the adaptability of Rubens' style which made his career so successful.

At the start of the 1921 season Arthur Singe made the switch to rugby league. There had been mention in the press that he was unlucky to miss out on selection for the New Zealand team to tour Australia. While there were murmurings that he was unhappy himself with being overlooked and that he was disappointed to only be in the reserves for the North Island v South Island match where players were staking a claim to make the New Zealand team. In an 18 April edition of the Auckland Star about the Marist Old Boys rugby league clubs prospects for the season they noted that there was "a certain amount of secretive whispering, which all lends to give the impression that one or two well-known rugby men are going to join up".

Also recorded during this period was the band's blistering take on Motown classic "(I Know) I'm Losing You" which later appeared on lead singer Rod Stewart's solo album Every Picture Tells a Story rather than on "Long Player" or as a Faces single release. This practice led to increased murmurings of discontent in some quarters that Stewart's management was keeping the best Faces studio performances for Stewart's solo projects, to the detriment of the band as a unit. While the sessions for both albums did unquestionably overlap, Stewart's dual recording contracts with different labels, as both a solo artist and as a member of the Faces, complicated matters greatly. This led to the odd situation where his Faces colleagues could only be credited individually and not explicitly as 'Faces' for their efforts on his solo albums at the time.

The third movement begins with parallel fifths in the bassoons that eventually settle on a G and D double pedal, against which the woodwind section is showcased through a clarinet melody built on the diminished chord, chromatic flourishes for flutes and piccolo, low clarinet murmurings, and two oboes in canon in sevenths. This is imitated by the string section. A trombone glissando across a minor third and a clattering interjection from the timpani contribute to the sardonic character of the movement, which ends with percussive ticking that foreshadows the coda of the finale. The finale is notable for many things, among them its coda on a sustained pedal point in the strings supported by percussion, which recalls the final moments of the scherzo from the Fourth Symphony, as well as those of the Second Cello Concerto.

But Rabbi said that the nuns do not appear there on that account, but because constitute a separate book. It thus follows according to Rabbi that there are seven books of the Torah, and this accords with the interpretation that Rabbi Samuel bar Nahmani made in the name of Rabbi Jonathan of , when it says, "She [Wisdom] has hewn out her seven pillars," referring to seven Books of the Law. Rabban Simeon ben Gamaliel, however, taught that were written where they are to provide a break between two accounts of Israel's transgressions. The first account appears in , "they set forward from the mount of the Lord three days' journey," which Rabbi Hama ben Hanina said meant that the Israelites turned away from following the Lord within three short days, and the second account appears in , which reports the Israelites' murmurings.

Shortly after the king's return, complaints reach his ear that he has spent on his tour money which could ill be spared from the public treasury. He silences such murmurings by pointing out that he has brought back presents far outweighing in value the expense of the tour. He can also boast truly that he has made Afghanistan known to the world as a country with great potentialities, and one whose friendship is worth cultivating. Among the definite results of his trip he is able to announce the impending conclusion of treaties with thirteen states, agreements with French and German companies to undertake a survey preparatory to the construction of a railroad linking Kabul, Kandahar, Herat, and Kushk, and the acquisition of over 50,000 rifles, over 100 cannon, six model machine guns, six tanks, and five armoured cars.

The appointment caused a fresh controversy; George Anthony Denison, Archdeacon of Taunton, Anthony Ashley Cooper, 7th Earl of Shaftesbury, and others formed a strong committee of protest, while Edward Pusey declared that "the choice was the most frightful enormity ever perpetrated by a prime minister". At the confirmation of his election, counsel was instructed by Bishop Walter Trower to object to it, and in the voting the chapter was divided. Gladstone stood firm, and Temple was consecrated on 21 December 1869, by John Jackson, Bishop of London. There were murmurings among his clergy against what they deemed his harsh control, but his real kindness soon made itself felt, and, during the sixteen years of his tenure, he overcame the prejudices against him, so that when, on the death of John Jackson in 1885, he was translated to London, the appointment gave general satisfaction.

Stravinsky later called the work "the best of my works before The Firebird, and the most advanced in chromatic harmony." Paul Griffiths commented on Stravinsky's recollections of the work as follows, at a time when the manuscript was still considered to be lost: > 'Here already is one of the central lessons of Stravinsky's music. As for > those larger moments that are the complete works, what might have been the > next step is missing, since the Chant funebre is lost. Stravinsky's own > recollection in the 1930s was of a piece in which "all the solo instruments > of the orchestra filed past the tomb of the master in succession, each > laying down its own melody as its wreath against a deep background of > tremolo murmurings simulating the vibrations of bass..."'Paul Griffiths, > Stravinsky (Master Musician's Series), Schirmer, p.

Plate attached to the house where Arvers were born My Secret My soul its secret has, my life too has its mystery, A love eternal in a moment's space conceived; Hopeless the evil is, I have not told its history, And the one who was the cause nor knew it nor believed. Alas! I shall have passed close by her unperceived, Forever at her side, and yet forever lonely, I shall unto the end have made life's journey, only Daring to ask for naught, and having naught received. For her, though God has made her gentle and endearing, She will go on her way distraught and without hearing These murmurings of love that round her steps ascend. Piously faithful still unto her austere duty, She will say, when she shall read these lines full of her beauty, "Who can this woman be?" and will not comprehend.
