Shur (Bible)
Shur, sometimes rendered in translations as Sur, is a location mentioned several times in the Hebrew Bible. James K. Hoffmeier believes that the 'way of Shur' was located along the Wadi Tumilat — an arable strip of land to the east of the Nile Delta, serving as the ancient transit route between Ancient Egypt and Canaan across the Sinai Peninsula. When Hagar ran away from Sarah ( Abram's wife, her owner), "the Angel of the Lord found her ... by the fountain in the way to Shur" (Book of Genesis, , KJV). Shur is also mentioned in 1 Samuel 15:7 — "Then Saul slaughtered the Amalekites from Havilah all the way to Shur, east of Egypt."Bible, New Living Translation According to the Book of Exodus (), Marah is located in the "wilderness of Shur".

El Sur (film)
''El Sur'' ("The South") is a 1983 drama film directed by the Spanish filmmaker Victor Erice, produced by Elias Querejeta, starring Icíar Bollaín as the adult main character. Written by Jose Luis Lopez Linares, it is based on Adelaida García Morales' short novel of the same name. As in the novella, the screenplay takes place solely in the north of Spain, however the novella picks up where the screenplay leaves off, taking Estrella on a journey to the south of Spain. Producer Elías Querejeta decided not to allow the filming of the latter 90 minutes which would have been filmed in the south. Querejeta attributed this to lack of funds, although neither Erice nor the film's cinematographer, José Luis Alcaine, believed that was the reason. Erice felt the film was incomplete and described it as an "unfinished drama" even though it was well received by critics. Plot This film tells the story of a young girl named Estrella (''Sonsoles Aranguren''), living in the north of Spain with h ...

Svara
Svara or swara (Devanagari: स्वर, generally pronounced as ''swar'') is a Sanskrit word that connotes simultaneously a breath, a vowel, the sound of a musical note corresponding to its name, and the successive steps of the octave or ''saptaka''. More comprehensively, it is the ancient Indian concept about the complete dimension of musical pitch. Most of the time a ''svara'' is identified as both musical note and tone, but a tone is a precise substitute for sur, related to tunefulness. Traditionally, Indians have just seven ''svara''s/notes with short names, e.g. saa, re/ri, ga, ma, pa, dha, ni which Indian musicians collectively designate as ''saptak'' or ''saptaka''. It is one of the reasons why ''svara'' is considered a symbolic expression for the number seven. Origins and history Etymology The word ''swara'' or ''svara'' (Sanskrit: स्वर) is derived from the root ''svr'' which means "to sound". To be precise, the ''svara'' is defined in the Sanskrit ''nirukt ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

The first live performance, by the same artists, was at the Tibidabo night club in Buenos Aires.

The male narrator addresses the girl in the second person; it is mentioned that the girl was 20 at the time. Among the landmarks mentioned are: the corner of San Juan and Boedo at the center of the Boedo neighborhood, Pompeya (the ''barrio'' located directly to the south of Boedo), the railway crossing and the swampland at the (southern) edge of Pompeya, and the enigmatic "blacksmith's corner, mud and pampa", which could refer to the corner of Centenera and Tabaré, already named in Manzi's earlier "Manoblanca ...

El Sur (story)
"The South" (original Spanish title: "El Sur") is a short story by Argentine author Jorge Luis Borges, first published in ''La Nación'' in 1953 and later in the second edition (1956) of ''Ficciones'', part two (''Artifices''). Plot summary Juan Dahlmann is an obscure secretary in an Argentine library. Although of German descent, he is proud of his ''criollo'' maternal ancestors: his military grandfather had died fighting the aboriginals in the wild Pampas ''"pierced by the Indians of Catriel"'', a romantic end that he enjoys thinking about. He has a number of family heirlooms: an old sword, a lithograph photo, and a small estate in southern Argentina he has never found time to visit. In February 1939, he obtains a copy of Weil's ''Arabian Nights''. He takes the book home, and—eager to examine it— he rushes up the stairs to his flat while reading it, slashing his head accidentally with the sharp edge of a window frame left open. The wound on his scalp keeps Dahlmann bedrid ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
