Plot

Plot
1. Anguish - A rich man's sister is having trouble due to gambling debts. She will not tell him who is calling her, using a code of letting the phone ring five times before hanging up and calling back as a signal. He tries to help her but she commits suicide before he can determine exactly what is happening. He tracks down a man he has seen her talking to in a bar, who he presumes is her blackmailer. After he kills the man, who says he was only trying to help the sister, the phone rings five times as he looks on in confusion and disbelief.
2. Pain. A blind woman lives with her young niece who assists her. The blind woman is very astute at using her other senses to determine what is going on around her. She misses her son who left eight years prior. Meanwhile, a man who whistles a familiar tune as he robs a jewelry store with two accomplices, kills the store owner while escaping with the stolen goods. The police announce this robbery on the radio, noting that the criminal whistles while robbing and murdering. He goes to the blind woman's house with his two accomplices, and one of them dies while there. Soon, we realize that the leader is the missing son. The blind woman realizes her son has gone bad when he whistles the tune known to be used by the robber. At night, as the thugs sleep, she goes through the house removing keys and stealing their guns from their bedsides in a long, suspenseful sequence. She has her young niece remove all the fuses from the fuse-box to make it dark in the house, and sends her to get help. In leaving by car, she rouses one of the thugs who wakes the son, and the criminals go to the top of the stairs. Using a flashlight, the two thugs see the woman, and when one goes to shoot her with his hidden gun, a scuffle ensues. One man falls to the landing below, dead, the other comes down the stairs to the mother while whistling and whispers, "I'll follow the good path." Appearing to believe it is her son, she lets him go. The niece returns, and it is discovered that it is the son who is dead on the landing and his accomplice who escaped. The niece covers the son's face with a napkin, repeating that he is now on "the good path."

Burton Township, McHenry County, Illinois
|
Use mdy dates
|
Burton Township is the smallest of 17 townships in McHenry County, Illinois. As of the 2020 census, its population was 4,820 and it contained 1,858 housing units.
Burton Township was first settled by Englishmen in 1836 who gave it the name English Prairie. Later settlers called the township Benton, but after learning that there already was a post office and township of Benton in southern Illinois, the name was changed to Burton on December 28, 1850. Burton Township is unusually small because its first residents broke from Richmond Township to its west. The reason for this was a "Hatfields vs. McCoys" type of feud in the 1840s over alleged township mismanagement and higher taxes in Richmond. The Burton settlers opted out and even tried to have adjoining Lake County absorb them into its eastern neighbor, Antioch Township, but Antioch Township had just consolidated Cooper Township into itself, and since Burton Township was situated in another county, a special law needed to be passed in Springfield to affect that change.

thumb|Wife awaits her Husband, Verse 76, Amaru Shataka by Amaru, early 17th-century painting.
The Amaruśataka or Amarukaśataka (अमरुशतक, "the hundred stanzas of Amaru"), authored by Amaru (also Amaruka), is a collection of poems dated to about the 7thIntroduction in The Amaruśataka was also translated by Greg Bailey as part of the volume Love Lyrics in the Clay Sanskrit Library or 8th century.
The Amaruśataka ranks as one of the finest lyrical poetry in the annals of Sanskrit literature, ranking with Kalidasa and 's . The ninth-century literary critic Anandavardhana declared in his Dhvanyaloka that "a single stanza of the poet Amaru ... may provide the taste of love equal to what's found in whole volumes." Its verses have been used by poets and critics as examples and standards to judge other poems by. Andrew Schelling describes it as "love poetry original and vivid as that produced anywhere on the planet".Introduction in Erotic Love Poems from India, A Translation of the Amarushataka translated by Andrew Schelling, Shambala Library, 2004.
Its subject is mostly Sringara (erotic love, romantic love) including aspects such as love, passion, estrangement, longing, rapprochement, joy and sorrow, etc. Greg Bailey notes that it is "as much about the social aspects of courting, betrayal, feminine indignance and masculine self-pity as it is about sensuality". Similarly, Schelling notes: "All the flavours or nuances of love are said to lie within the book, though you'll notice that the emphasis falls more on the bitter taste of separation or betrayal than on the sweetness of consummation.". Three recensions were made - The Southern represented by Verma, the Bengali or the Eastern by Ravichandra and the Western by Arjuna . Out of 127 stanzas that r found only 72 are considered to be genuine by Dr. S.K. De and the rest have a doubtful authorship.
As examples, here are some verses:She had suffered in separation, was weary, pale and gaunt, with her hair all dull and dry.
But, her radiance was restored the moment I returned from travel.
Then, at our game of love, delightful, she so proud and lovely looked, that I did then sip the lips of that slender-bodied woman, in ways that I can never describe.
— translation by A.N.D. Haksar
The pressure of the palm of thy hand, that covers the cheek, has wiped the ornamental paintings off it; thy sighs have lapped up the nectar-sweet moisture of thy lips; the tears which continually choke thy throat. Cause the bosom to heave: thus, Oh inexorable one, thy anger has become thy beloved, but not I!
— translation by Chintaman Ramchandra Devadhar

Authorship
Not much is known about the life of Amaru. Traditional accounts attribute the work to King Amaru of Kashmir. The collection in its present form may well represent the work of more than one author—the poems that form part of the collection differ quite significantly across its different regional recensions.According to Siegfried Lienhard, only around half the verses in the Amarusataka are common across its various regional versions.
There are also a number of legends associating the collection with the philosopher Adi Shankara. One version occurs in his 14th century biography written by a follower, the Shankara-digvijaya. According to this version, during his debate with Maṇḍana Miśra, he was asked philosophical questions phrased in metaphors of love by the latter's wife, Ubhaya Bharati. Being celibate and therefore ignorant of the kama shastras, Shankara requested an adjournment. He then entered the recently dead body of Amaru and spent a hundred days mastering the art of erotic love, before returning to defeat his opponent. He wrote the Amarushataka to memorialise his learning.
Another version, given in Ravichandra's commentary on the Amarushataka, states that Shankara composed these poems to impart spiritual insight to the epicurean king Amaru, in metaphors he might understand. When this was misunderstood and mocked by the advisers at the court, Shankara entered the body of Amaru and provided a spiritual exegesis of the poems.
Accordingly, several manuscripts add colophons naming Shankara as the true author of the work, and Ravichandra, a mediaeval commentator on the Bengal recension of the Amarusataka, read metaphysical meanings into the verses. Other legends also state that Amaru was the 101st reincarnation of a soul that had previously occupied 100 women.
