Authors hired by Stacey Pierrot claimed Christine Rosamond Benton was bi-polar, and thus Carrie Fisher (Princess Leia) was brought in to author a screenplay for a movie about ‘Rosamond’. But, no one understood that life immitates art, and what fate had in store for my late sister, fate had in store for the world. For there is a parallel world that only the Poet, Thealogian, and Artist can discover. But, who would have guessed there is a Family Tree of such folk, including Actors and Movie Makers, those who entertain the world each and every day – by rendering Illusion, by putting masks on Thespians – even the wings of swans!
Below are actors who appear in the Peerage along with most of the royalty in the world, past and present. Movie Actorts, Eddie Fischer, Debbie Reynolds, Connie Francis, Paul Simon, Elizabeth Taylor, Richard Burton, and Carrie Fisher are amongst the Rex Mundi because Elizabeth was made Dame of the Bristish Empire. If it can be proven she is kin to members of the Swan Brethren, then those folks who tend to the Royal Tree of Life, would take note.
Hieronymus Bosch has been accused of being a Time Traveler. Did this Swan Brethren come into our time to inspiure Geroge Lucas? In ‘The Black Swan’ I am reminded of Oscar Wilde’s ‘The Picture of Dorien Grey’. Oscar put forth the theory of
In a letter of July 1964 (Letter # 257), Tolkien gives some account of his book:
When C. S. Lewis and I tossed up, and he was to write on space-travel and I on time-travel, I began an abortive book of time-travel of which the end was to be the presence of my hero in the drowning of Atlantis.

Edwin Jack “Eddie” Fisher (August 10, 1928 – September 22, 2010), was an American entertainer. He was one of the world’s most famous and successful singers[1] in the 1950s, selling millions of records and hosting his own TV show. He left his first wife, actress Debbie Reynolds, to marry Debbie’s best friend, actress Elizabeth Taylor, when Taylor’s husband film producer Mike Todd died. This event garnered scandalous and unwelcome publicity for Fisher. He later married Connie Stevens. Fisher is the father of actresses Carrie Fisher (with Reynolds) and Joely Fisher (with Stevens).
Fisher, fourth of seven children, was born in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, the son of Russian-born Jewish immigrants Kate (née Winokur) and Joseph Fisher.[2][3] His father’s surname was originally either Tisch or Fisch, but was anglicised to Fisher upon entry into the United States.[4] To his family, Fisher was always called “Sonny Boy”, a nickname derived from the song of the same name in Al Jolson’s film The Singing Fool (1928).[5]
The Philosophical Position
Anti-mimesis is a philosophical position that holds the direct opposite of mimesis. Its most notable proponent is Oscar Wilde, who held in his 1889 essay The Decay of Lying that “Life imitates Art far more than Art imitates Life”. In the essay, written as a Platonic dialogue, Wilde holds that such anti-mimesis “results not merely from Life’s imitative instinct, but from the fact that the self-conscious aim of Life is to find expression, and that Art offers it certain beautiful forms through which it may realise that energy.”.[1][2]
Wilde’s antimimetic philosophy has had influence on later writers, including Brian Friel. McGrath places it in a tradition of Irish writing, including Wilde and writers such as Synge and Joyce that “elevate[s] blarney (in the form of linguistic idealism) to aesthetic and philosophical distinction”, noting that Terry Eagleton observes an even longer tradition that stretches “as far back in Irish thought as the ninth-century theology of John Scottus Eriugena” and “the fantastic hyperbole of the ancient sagas”. Wilde’s antimimetic idealism, specifically, McGrath describes to be part of the late nineteenth century debate between Romanticism and Realism.[1]
Antimimesis, as set out by Wilde in Decay of Lying is the reverse of the Aristotelian principle of mimesis. Far from art imitating life, as mimesis would hold, Wilde holds that art sets the aesthetic principles by which people perceive life. What is found in life and nature is not what is really there, but is that which artists have taught people to find there, through art. Wilde presents the fogs of London as an example, arguing that although “there may have been fogs for centuries in London”, people have only “seen” the “wonderful brown fogs that come creeping down our streets, blurring the gas lamps and turning houses into shadows” because “poets and painters have taught [people] the loveliness of such effects”. “They did not exist”, asserts Wilde, “till Art had invented them.”.[1]
Halliwell asserts that “far from constituting the ne plus ultra of antimimeticism”, the notion that life imitates art actually derives from classical notions that can be traced as far back as the writings of Aristophanes of Byzantium, and does not negate mimesis but rather “displace[s] its purpose onto the artlike fashioning of life itself”. Halliwell draws a parallel between Wilde’s philosophy and Aristophanes’ famous question about the comedies written by Menander: “O Menander and Life! Which of you took the other as your model?”, noting, however, that Aristophanes was a pre-cursor to Wilde, and not necessarily espousing the positions that Wilde was later to propound.[3]
George Bernard Shaw agreed with Wilde. In his preface to Three Plays he wrote “I have noticed that when a certain type of feature appears in painting and is admired as beautiful, it presently becomes common in nature; so that the Beatrices and Francescas in the picture galleries of one generation come to life as the parlor-maids and waitresses of the next.”. He stated that he created the aristocratic characters in Cashel Byron’s Profession as more priggish than real aristocrats because at the time of writing he had yet to discover that “what [he] supposed to be the real world does not exist, and that men and women are made by their own fancies in the image of the imaginary creatures in [his] youthful fictions, only much stupider”. Shaw, however, disagreed with Wilde on some points. He considered most attempts by life to imitate art to be reprehensible, in part because the art that people generally chose to imitate was idealistic and romanticized.[4]
