MYSTERY ROUND

Flowery Literature

I'll give you an excerpt from a famous work, you tell me what it's from.

For example, if I said What's in a name? that which we call a rose / By any other name would smell as sweet
You would answer Romeo and Juliet

1. I know a bank where the wild thyme blows, / Where oxlips and the nodding violet grows, / Quite over-canopied with luscious woodbine, / With sweet musk-roses and with eglantine: / There sleeps Titania sometime of the night (what play?)

2. For Daisy was young and her artificial world was redolent of orchids and pleasant, cheerful snobbery and orchestras which set the rhythm of the year, summing up the sadness and suggestiveness of life in new tunes. (what author & book?)

3. Immortal amarant, a flower which once In paradise, fast by the tree of life, Began to bloom; but soon for man's offence To heaven removed, where first it grew, there grows, And flowers aloft, shading the fount of life (what author & book?)

4. That Emelye, that fairer was to sene / Than is the lylie upon his stalke grene, / And fressher than the May with floures newe (which of Chaucer's tales?)

5. O my Luve is like a red, red rose / That’s newly sprung in June; / O my Luve is like the melody / That’s sweetly played in tune (who wrote it?)

6. She was sitting one day, / At her desk, in her school, in her usual way, / When she felt a small twitch on the top of her head. / So [title character] looked up. And she almost dropped dead. (what author & book?)

Hard questions from all over

2 points each

1. What British band (most popular in the 80s) got its name from the official form Britons fill out to receive benefits while unemployed - which all 8 members were at the time of naming the band?

2. We know (from last week) that Mary was very popular most of the 1900s, but from 1947-52 what name knocked Mary out of the top spot, likely due to a popular song Buddy Clark wrote for a 1-yr old that would go on to marry a well-known British musician?

3. Superman's alter ego Clark Kent was named from the first names of two famous actors from the 30s and 40s - one should be easy - but name both.

4. Although the exact origin of the name is unclear, sources say WHAT DISEASE gets its name derived from a resemblance of the vesicles of a certain bean (legume), or from animal attack marks, or the mildness of the disease?

5. Canada's $2 coin, the toonie, features a bear named from a contest - the name is both a town in northern Manitoba known as Polar Bear Capital of the World and the name of a well-known Brit from history. What's this bear's name?
