William Travers Jerome

William Travers Jerome, New York's district attorney for much of the decade, was born in New York City. After attending a private preparatory school in Switzerland, he studied at Amherst College for three years before moving on to Columbia Law School, where he received his law degree in 1884. Three years after being admitted to the bar in New York, he was appointed an assistant district attorney. An appointment like this insured a steady income, but it depended on party loyalty: a political appointee had to be absolutely loyal to the party organization that appointed him. In this case, Jerome owed his position to the Democrats, and in return he was expected to be loyal to their organization, known as Tammany Hall. But in 1890 he joined the People's Municipal League, a reform organization, and returned to private practice.

Things that had passed in my life

In my birthday a firecracker has exploded in my hand.
I jumped off a bridge into a river with 12 m height.
I cryed when I saw a romantic film.
I played badminton with the best english player.
I have seen a train catch a friend.

Lord Byron

'I stood in Venice, on the Bridge of Sighs,
A palace and a prison on each hand:
I saw from out the wave her structures rise
As from the stroke of the enchanter's wand:
A thousand years their cloudy wings expand
Around me, and a dying Glory smiles
O'er the far times, when many a subject land
Looked to the wingéd Lion's marble piles,
Where Venice sate in state, throned on her hundred isles!'


Estaba en Venecia, en el Puente de los Suspiros,
Un palacio y una prisión en cada mano:
Vi de la onda sus estructuras levantarse
Como de un golpe de la varita del mago:
Mil años sus alas nubosas se amplían
A mí alrededor, y una Gloria que se muere sonríe
O'er los tiempos lejanos, cuando muchas tierras que son objeto
Miró a las pilas de mármol del león alado,
Cuando Venecia pueblo en el estado, coronado en sus cien islas!

the song of the movie A room with a view (o mi babbino caro by Giacomo Puccini)

The reason that the director of the movie A room with a view has chosen this song, is because the song tells us about a girl who whants her father permission to marry with a boy and the movie tell us quiet the same.
