(3/4/20)

1. Apple - In this context, it is tempting to claim that Orwell's most far-reaching on-screen impact came by way of a television commercial to launch the Apple Macintosh home computer whose main airing took place during Super Bowl XVIII on 22. January 1984. (p 207)
3. Bird + 35. Nature - At the same time, always keen on 'nature' and the advantages of the outdoor world, Orwell was deeply absorbed in the lofe of Jura: the domestic notebooks that he began to keep at this time are full of enraptured accounts of the local bird population, or the difficulties involved in hauling a stranded cow out of a bog. (p 97)
4. Bottle - Flory in Burmese Days (1934) is a disaffected colonial timber merchant with a weakness for the whisky bottle and a native mistress, convinced that the can redeem the sterility of his life by marrying a newcomer to the remote provincial township where he frets out his leisure hours. (p 36)
7. Clothes +34. Moss + 49. Woods - A letter to Eleanor from September 1932, which recalls "that day in the wood along past Blythburgh Lodge ... I shall always remember that, & your nice white body in the dark moss", is remarkably close to the account of Julia tearing off her clothes so that her body "gleamed white in the sun". (p 114)
11. Envy + 33.
