LIR diary - the Nord-Sud Poles Tour 1935-1936

our WEDDELL branch … our Cousins in the Argentine

& down there South America … & some about the globe …

1936 - LAVENDER FLOWERS PETALS like pearls & raindrops ALL OVER THE WINDOWS … you awoke downstairs in the Weddell HEIMAT of ARGENTINA … the courtyard of the settlement where they all are …

… ` & you saw lavender pearls all over the big windows of the room you slept in ` … the house had windows covered in the lavender petals of the flower they had now grown in a circle around the home to experience this once a year … the breezes the rain swept the petals all over the windows … they did not get stressed for rains winds would come & wash it all off … it was an experience of beauty … they drew our attention to many such matters of beauty of landscape …

The girl I am going to marry now age 13 years ( a 4th cousin ) put you in a warm dressing gown & I took your hand & we walked inside then outside the house … admiring the drifts of lavender coloured flower petals over the windows held by raindrops … like lavender coloured pearls you said

Then to the first breakfast a bowl of cereal with good milk before the cream is removed … all the children here … sometimes they go to school when Ways not miry or the Teachers come to them … everyone has the telephone …

We are come to a WEDDELL heimat - After Prayers & showers there will be a main breakfast after the 11th hour after first work is done … to set everybody up until Even Time … there are bathrooms with warm water or you an go under the showers in the Courtyard … chose the weathers … I began a watercolour of the windows when we returned to `Jerusalem` … from notes I made in my diary 1936 … ”

`… I AM LEN whom you are not allowed to recall

THIS IS WHAT ANDRE FOUND IN EAST ANGLIA … a sense of order … of civilized living … & this was what he valued now he was becoming a man of 35 nearly 36 years of age …` & Jo listened to what he said so she made a BROTH SUMMER 1937..

as they do AT HOME in FRANCE … in her parents home … `

LIR diary 1936 … dear Billy Goat Weddell coming down a snowy lane the milk cans full …. He a child of the family … the girl cousin very distant I am going to marry she has now reached 13 years of age & she takes care of us all directing the household & she will train to be a Nurse … she raised him Billy Weddell from a few hours old when his mother died & he cheers children in the hospitals

THEY who STEAL OUR ESTATE will kill our son age nearly 12 in North Africa (1952/3)… & they will go on killing us until there are none of our WEDDELL LINE left THEY HAVE ALL GONE MAD UP THERE … Figures in a Morgue … on the pin-

G.R. family records / 1936 January - Argentina - The WEDDELL heimat - the girl Lennie will marry 1939 allowed an early marriage for both have had their mother`s die … I see her administering to all of us & directing the household & the Billy Goat Weddell who appears amongst the children for lessons too & with such delicate manners he hath she whose name is now locked behind GRANITE CAVERNS OF HATE filled with Figures from a Morgue … GROSS BRITAIN … is delicate of face & expression , light brown hair, her body lithe & she will grow perhaps taller than Lennie …

MARTYR …. their son born 1940 ( Raymond ? from the Weddell branch ??? ) was as tall as his father at 11 years so Len says to Andre Malraux, Beryl & others including POLITAN … 1972 renaissance evening “ he was going to be tall … taller than us perhaps very tall … the family are all heights all of the time … nobody reaches up to POUL 6` 5 ” … ` little Peter Rathbone Ransom Gordon Palmer Whitehead goes to 6` 3 ”

… ( 21.8. 1970 - 19.5. 1998 - Pete FULL OF GRACE )

Martyrs - Miss nameless WEDDELL SEA a future Mrs L.I. Ransom is of the Basque Aquida- PERU Inca SAN JULIAN branch like us … SHE ALSO IS the great-great grand-daughter of our JAMES THE SEA The Weddell Sea - Lennie a great-grandson because his mother JEAN her father James Weddell II elder son did not marry MINVERVA-Olivea until he was 59 years of age Cousin Clarke Gable who is on the last 2 days of his fortnight visit with a Hollywood friend to his KIN is very like SAN JULIAN Yahama F. San Miguel in appearance & figure they tell me /

1943 … Hhhmn - I think I am getting the San Julian JAW because the photos of me at 10 years show the Tierra-del Fuego INCA JAW a Maiden would rather not have it … although George-ANDRE does not seem to object when WE GO`TH TWICE TO CHURCH BLEST BY `young Paccelli` gone HIGH in ROME ….

LIR diary 1936 - They had a little village nearby where “ the few shops had everything needed for the meantime ”

… once a month everybody except the very old people who did not wish to come any more WENT TO MARKET … starting at dawn with a lorry perhaps two, a hay cart for bigger stuff …

a car … they would take things to sell from the land the farm & buy & barter for things to bring back … It was all so very happy & we went … you had two sleeps in the hay as the other younger children did …

We did not take Billy goat Weddell but when he is needed for the Hospital they make a separate visit … he makes so many children & old people quite well again … he has such kind eyes …

Tapes/1961-1970s/ L. I. R. diary - “ 1936

TRY TO SEE AGAIN LAVENDER PEARLS raindrops THE FLOWER PETALS ALL OVER THE WINDOWS

… in that big room as you awoke … 1936 … ITS ALL PERFECTION & ALL BEAUTY UPON EARTH … the ships have not yet stood off … 1940s - 1950s … the boats lowered … the British MONSTERS on special duties come to slay them : … they may have used some air power earlier to put evil in the hills …

LIR - 1958 … I WENT BACK WITH A NUMBER OF PEOPLE … we have got it made an area sacred not to be destroyed … but we felt we should not linger after dark… WHEN DARK CAME … their cries their screams … their shouts … might be heard … many good people who protected the ( Weddell ) heimat said it

was NOT WISE TO LINGER & HEAR THEM IN THE NIGHT … you can still find pieces of the burned buildings the animals - their possessions… & they … in the soil I always scoop some up from the LIVES OF THE MARTYRS …

…in the dark you might hear them crying out that they the attackers were British British slaying them & in God`s name why should it happen to them ? BECAUSE THE BRITISH WANTED THIS NORTH POLE ESTATE ! Their grandpa had mapped that (WEDDELL) SEA … he was a great SEAMAN- was it not enough that a Nation RICH AS BRITAIN should have monuments like that … not wish to push WEDDELL off to a corner of his SEA … & PUT ANOTHER NAME … obscene names they had become because of this ruthless killing - upon the WORLD MAP … An Atlas had already appeared 1949 WITHOUT THE WEDDELL SEA- ”

THE WEDDELL QUAKER families are human beings of QUALITY … what is attacking them is not … it is criminally insane & of vast obscenities …

G.R. 1989/1992 - There is a South American modern ballet - GHOSTS … Pam teacher has us watch it & then make some choreography … FE College Oxford HISTORY OF DANCE/

Study & PRACTICAL/…

Greta with other students dance the paintings in the Exhibition THE ENGINEERING OF THE HUMAN SOUL/Russian Realist painters/MOMA. I chose SUNNY DAY/Kiev/ … sculpting in the air all HOPE & a young life … my legs can swing up above my head easily at 59 years of age - I reach down to the basket of pegs to secure my DANCING LINE of LAUNDRY STRETCHING OVER THE GREAT RUSSIAN PLAINS IT WAS A DANCE OF HOPE -

the red dress of the painting was a heavy cotton double circle skirt from an Indian shop & about my waist a girdle of wooden clothes pegs …

… Because from late 1980s matters of MALRAUX were being spoken by my side in OXFORD by some humanists … the EVIL of THE MONSTERS OF THE DEEP is somewhere in my TALL STRONG INCA GREENLAND limbs awakening at the closure of our piece Selena an American woman dancing 5 Portraits of STALIN in an arc beyond me …

The music I had desired for our choreography was old Mossolov born 1900 … River Dnieper Power Station/even Iron Foundry or Steel Foundry/BALLET STEEL restored … No one had the old HMV 78 record River DNIEPER that sold a TON 1930s/40s … & there were few gramophones 1992 Oxfordshire to play it so we could record it we had to make do with Prokofiev …

Our sculptured DANCE was quicker than the music so Selena giving me a stare & mutter began to dance 5 Portraits Stalin again … & I began to KICK HIGH -swoop down & KICK OUT AT THEM the EVIL INVADERS of 50 Lancaster Gate Square … drive them from the great Russian Plains the FACE OF THE EARTH … SUDDENLY A COLLECTION OF MEMORY WAS WORKING

albeit fragments upon the SEAS advancing upon JO`s beach - Holland-on-sea … SUMMER 1937 …

1990/1991 - OXFORD - AS WE REHEARSE … some quiet mention of did I know a JEAN WEDDELL at the beginning of the 20th century - a ballerina South America ? … She was magnificent & yet had one foot an inch & a half shorter than the other & it made no difference… Sadly I had no memory … At 58 I was surely dancing for JEAN my ballerina grandmother … Performance given judged well enough to be asked would I like to go on & study & do choreography… “ YOU HAVE 7-8 years left as A DRAMATIC DANCER … ”

1932 - GREEN TABLE Modern Dance PARIS - I recall my father FJR telling how his parents were invited to The Green Table/modern dance first performance 3 July 1932 …Theatre des Champs-Elysees, Paris …

/extract p 76 - has common sense : “ … the work opens with bald-pated rubber-masked DIPLOMATS arguing across a foreshortened green baize table. These greedy manipulators are made twice as unctuous by the infectious tinkly piano tune to which they BICKER & bargain …IN A BLACKOUT THE DIPLOMATS ARE REPLACED BY A LOOMING FIGURE OF DEATH - death claims innocent victims … The ballet ends back where it began WITH THE DIPLOMATS … THEY CONTINUE THEIR TREACHEROUS NEGOITATIONS AS IF NOTHING HAD BEEN CHANGED

NOTHING SETTLED … ”

The DANCE HANDBOOK introduction by Merce Cunningham/ LONGMAN /Allen Robertson & Donald Hutera 1988…

1937 Summer - sunny days at Clacton-on-Sea -

JO sayeth that first afternoon upon the beach Holland-on-Sea she was scared of SPAIN because Andre kept standing up & walking out when there was firing of guns …he went to have a better look , & he is so tall ! He strode out one occasion & they all shouted at him to fall down - get down - he did not but seemed in a dream. A man had to rush out & pull him down . She Jo, could not understand why he did these things - went into a dream …. (Clara dopes him !)

….Stella-stars who is Unity`s mother she age now 10 years is translating from the French for Freddie Clacton Theatre … who cannot follow fast-fast-fast French , & I am only with a few German words …I am to know some things in thee British native tongue … so as to understand they are here to rest , see the countryside … & we should try have them not think of SPAIN so much. ` Hhmn I am looking at him …he the tall angel figure with the rather different green shooting stars eyes to everybody else … Andre - perhaps to be called in public Andrew-George arrived first at the railway station & yes she had to come on a train later… it was a matter making her sad that he would not be seen travelling with her .

It was spoken of as a matter of fear… a woman named Clara with a gun threatening to shoot them both might find out where they are … then she would shoot one or perhaps in a rage both of them ` Oh Freddie he does not seem to understand women very well … he is still a very young man … `

My reasoning (Greetah who would rather have been named HEBITHIAEIA a grandma Ransom of Palestine

11th century AD …) was that HE NEEDS A MOTHER ( but NOT like mine of course … although often she says she is NOT thank goodness … but we do our best for her … everyone in the families & about the JOYOUS VENTURE … )

1937 Summer - still July - On the Holland-on-sea beach I began to make a sand banquet but the better sand banquet was made the following day. It is to give an appetite & suggestions for the following days meals . I was making an orange sou`fle but called it a s o u f e l & he Andre X or George laughed at me …

I said it was in Granny Gordon’s cookery book . I could read some things … I have my too big summer straw school Saint Clares` Convent hat on … as grown-ups were strict about young children not being bareheaded in hot sun in those days … not good for the brain … the hat it slips down over my eyebrows if I move quickly … I felt a dumpy dwarf in the way of the grown-ups out of BLOODY SPAIN as they refer to it …

1936 dull memories arise of JEAN & INCA & AZTEC kin & kith arriving that night a year 5 months ago in the gloaming … they were dressed just like Cousin Clarke except they had slippers or bare feet & little caps of embroidery & tiny beads stitched upon - & asked they soft voiced ` WILL SHE DANCE their FIREBIRD … they are all coming … 2 - 3 days they will all be with us …THEY COME …

upon the shores they now set up the TRIPOD for the cooking -

Margarethe RANSOM Mrs Tiggy Grote … girl of the SNOWS has set up a lot of investment infra-structure in Tierra del Fuego & PERU immediately after the MARRIAGE of 1909 her nephew Frederick Charles Frobisher RANSOM to James WEDDELL his grand-daughter she daughter of his eldest son & MINERVA song-writer known very well for the book in several Editions EVENSONGS …

1937 Summer - He to be called Andre or George … & very tall Miss JO Elliot are strained in their behaviour to one another - she near tears - & had to be warned by Stella & Freddie Theatre again `what ever you do you are not to row with him - that’s what Clara does & he is still a young man ` ( Hhhmn… & lost his grace … thinks little Miss North Pole …)
