Occasionally celebrated with ceremonial tributes to an earlier period of history, today’s constitutional monarchies sometimes mark such affairs with the pomp and circumstance associated with an altogether different era.
The first and last chapters of the novel that describes the immense celebrations of conquest, reveals the irony of affirmations of order. The royal family was welcomed by the crowd, they were applauded on the victory, but actually the mob was ironically celebrating the disorder and not the order, even indulging in casual killing. Celebration in the novel, at the beginning and at the end, is creepy, they are disordered festivities, and the rules are abandoned in such occasions, and therefore are luminal. An elder resident lady of the May of Teck remarks on the nature of festival at its first celebration that the V-E Day event “was something between a wedding and a funeral on a world scale.”
"Here is out best maneuver, as I see it: / bathe, you three, and put fresh clothing on, / order the women to adorn themselves,/ and let our admirable harper choose a tune / for dancing, some lighthearted air, and strum it. / Anyone going by, or any neighbor, / will think it is a wedding feast he

A grand affair of a ball--the Pioneers'--came off at the Occidental some time ago. The following notes of the costumes worn by the belles of the occasion may not be uninteresting to the general reader, and Jerkins may get an idea therefrom:

In the poem ‘Moon’, Kathleen Jamie explores themes of abandonment, loneliness and disconnection. She does this by utilizing a clearly dysfunctional relationship between a mother and child. The child replaces the either mentally or physically absent mother with the presence of the moon. To explore the emotional distance between child and mother, the author uses dark and light imagery to empathize the child’s loneliness and to evoke the scene of a parent visiting they child late at night. Personification of inanimate objects illustrates the detrimental effects the unavailable mother has on the child’s mental wellbeing. The poem ends with dialogue from the protagonist, the child, pointing out that the moon is not her mother, as if to be
At the Clarissa Ballroom the guests flood in, and everyone separates into their normal cliques; the mothers and aunts sit together at a table gossiping, the grown men all gather in an open area near the door and start complaining about the latest Vikings game, the younger kids start running around the tables and blowing out candles, and all the others separate, talking about how lovely the service was. Then there are always those few individuals who walk in and do their own thing. Aunt Bessy, for example, is taking her time looking over what will be served for supper, planning out each plate with such detail that her mouth begins to water in anticipation.

"A festival is being held in Hall of Summer to celebrate your arrival," Banrou told him as the front gates of the palace opened before them. The gates of the palace was less impressive than the fort around the city and it was guarded by a pair of dragon rather than lion.
