Mr Al-Khapoun's Christmas Quiz, 1988

It is the custom of Mr Al-Khapoun, of the Philistine/Liberace Organisation, to abuse literature by producing a Christmas Quiz on the subject. This year he went, a few days before Christmas, to a P/LO Male Chauvinist Pig consciousness-lowering session and lowered his consciousness so much that he passed out on the floor. It is only now that he is again sufficiently conscious to do anything. Here, then are ten quotations: you are asked to name the authors. This is pretty near impossible, so at least as many points will be awarded for entertaining wrong answers as for correct ones. All the same, the quotations are all from well-known writers. One is a translation (both the original author and the translator are very famous) and one is in very easy French.

Nicaragua has been conquered like Athens. Nicaragua has been annexed like Jerusalem.

So went to bed; where eagerly his sickness
Pursued him still: and, three nights after this,
About the hour of eight, which he himself
Foretold should be his last, full of repentence,
Continual meditations, tears, and sorrows,
He gave his honours to the world again,
His blessed part to heaven, and slept in peace.

Les grands romanciers sont des romanciers philosophes, c'est-à-dire le contraire d'écrivains à thèse. Ainsi Balzac, Sade, Melville, Stendhal, Dostoïevski, Proust, Malraux, Kafka, pour n'en citer que quelques-uns.

Answer
Now, and from hence, in ev'ry future age,
When rage excites your arms, and strength supplies the rage,
Rise some avenger of our Libyan blood,
With fire and sword pursue the perjur'd brood;
Our arms, our seas, our swords opposed to theirs;
And the same hate descend on all our heirs!

Answer
God looks on nature with a glorious eye
And blesses all creation with the sun;
Its drapery of green and brown, earth, ocean, lie
In morning as Creation just begun:
The safforn east fortells the riseing sun;
And who can look upon that majesty
Of light, brightness and splendour, nor feel won
With love of him whose bright all-seeing eye
Feeds the day's light with Immortality?
Clue
Answer
The tempter said his say
Which pierced him like a needle -
He summoned straight away
The sexton and the beadle.
These men were men who could
Hold liberal opinions:
On Sundays they were good -
On weekdays they were minions.
