Gatherr RSS

Pronounced "Gatherer", but, hey, it's web 2.0 and we leave the last
"e" out right? Gatherr collects the best of this and that from here and
there on the web for no other reason than sharing. It's about stuff
that seemed interesting at the time. Enjoy.




ABOUT

My
name is Tony Johansen. I am an artist. I like art and science and
poetry and books and history and technology and lots more besides.
Every day I am excited by the marvelous things I see in this wonderful
world and beyond. I love the Internet for giving me access to so much.
I am like a sponge for wondrous things or things that make me wonder. This site is really just a
scrapbook. Being on the web, however, means being able to share the
treasures I find. That's me, Tony Johansen, artist who likes to share
my excitement of being alive.

    When The Ballad Of Reading Gaol was first published Wilde found it necessary to use a pseudonym. Public outrage and ridicule directed at proven homosexuals was no small matter at the time. The name Wilde chose C. 3. 3. is most interesting because it referred to his location at the prison. He was in “C” wing, on the 3rd floor and in cell number 3. It was after Wildes death that Wilde’s name was attached to the poem.
