Beware of the Chandelier!

An Australian Federal Government employee is suing for compensation after being injured while having sex on a work trip.

The woman, who cannot be named, was injured when a glass light fitting came away from the wall above a bed in 2007. The Federal Court in Sydney has heard she suffered facial injuries after the light hit her.

It heard she was staying in a country town to go to a work meeting the next day. Leo Grey, representing the woman, told the court there was no suggestion she had engaged in any misconduct. Mr Grey said her injury occurred during “an ordinary incident of life commonly undertaken in a motel room at night“.

She applied for compensation from Comcare, the Federal Government workplace safety body, but it found the sexual activity was not an ordinary incident of an overnight stay like showering, sleeping or eating.

Mr Grey said she had been injured while engaging in “lawful sexual activity, noting there had not been any rule that employees should not have anyone else in their room without express permission of their department”. “This is not the 1920s, after all,” he said.

Andrew Berger, for Comcare, said people needed to eat, sleep and attend to their personal hygiene but “you don’t need to have sex”.

The appeal is continuing.

John Milton; Seeker Of Paradise

Living his life in the 1600’s, John Milton is best known as the poet of Paradise Lost and Paradise Regained.

The great religious tracts of the Reformation are his best known works.

Yet John Milton was also a Cambridge student, a traveller and thrice married propagandist for the Commonwealth of Oliver Cromwell who lost his sight at the age of 44.

A dry corn-husk of a religious fanatic with an ouvre of religious poetry and elegy’s to friends who left too early.

Wrong!

It seems that, despite being a Cambridge man, academics at Oxford University have discovered what appears to be a bawdy poem by John Milton while sifting through their archives. The work, a coarse innuendo-laden ditty titled “An Extempore Upon A Faggot”, was found in the university’s Harding Collection, the world’s largest collection of popular poetic anthologies and songbooks.

Milton was known for his abandonment of rhyme, irregular rhythms and a dignity and stateliness in his diction. His poems tended to centre on religious allusions, the political nature of the times – he served as a civil servant under Oliver Cromwell’s government – and the biblical downfall of man, most notably in his epic poem Paradise Lost.

But the new work, which was discovered by Dr Jennifer Batt, a lecturer in English literature at the university, employs a childishly simple and earthy rhythm of rhyming couplets.

“To see the name of John Milton, the great religious and political polemicist, attached to such a bawdy epigram, is extremely surprising to say the least,” Dr Batt said.

The newly-discovered work seems to be an early version of “Paradise Found.”

Have you not in a Chimney seen

A Faggot which is moist and green

How coyly it receives the Heat

And at both ends do’s weep and sweat?

So fares it with a tender Maid

When first upon her Back she’s laid

But like dry Wood th’ experienced Dame

Cracks and rejoices in the Flame.

John Milton (1608-1674)
