Our second-year BA student, Szabó Gergő had a little fiasco last semester; his sister’s puppy was not as fond of Look Back in Anger as Gergő was. Marvel indeed ate Gergő’s homework. 
Susanne Aartun Sundfør is a Norwegian singer-songwriter and record producer born 19 March 1986 in Haugesund. Her carrier took off with her eponymous debut album in 2007. Her second studio album, The Brothel, was released in 2010, and the third, The Silicone Veil, in 2012. Her fourth studio album, Ten Love Songs brought her international success in 2015, and since then she has finished her fifth studio album, Music for People in Trouble in 2017. Sundførd’s music incorporates various styles and genres, including synth-pop, folk, jazz, classical music, electro-folk, and electropop. Her music takes the listener away to otherworldly, sometimes eerie realms. If someone is a fan of Kate Bush or Björk, Sundførd’s work will possibly be amongst their new favorites, as it is quite reminiscent of both artists.
Check out Sundførd’s music and biography on her youtube channel or official site:

Polly Nor is an illustrator living in London. She creates cartoonish artwork of female characters who literally take their skin off to reveal their demonic selves. Her style is simple, yet she depicts flesh and skin in a naturalistic way. Her pictures, particularly these three represent the way women sugarcoat the reality of their bodies and do not show in public what’s beneath the surface.
Her website is currently down, but feel free to check out her Instagram.

Join us tomorrow (20 March 18.00 St. 111) and let’s watch three short films.
Oats Studios is a garage project of District 9 director Neill Blomkamp, which he launched in order to promote talented young filmmakers and their vivid imagination. In three short films of Volume 1 – Rakka, Firebase and Zygote – first he and his crew explore what is left of Blomkamps’ iced Alien Project.
Bring along your boyfriend, girlfriend, flatmate, comissar, your non-violent pet and your non-violent grandmother. Entry is free, but make sure you bring some snacks, possibly something you can rattle with during the screening to enhance the experience.
After the screening a casual discussion is going to be held about the topics the short films touch upon. Discussion is moderated by Bodnár Péter.
On the second weekend of March, we organised the annual trip to Síkfőkút, as a teambuilding event for the members of IEAS. We prepared a little montage video for you to share and enjoy, and for others to see what it was like there – and what it is like every year! An amazing experience to share with your peers, get to know your teachers and groupmates a little more. We were glad to see you enjoying the weekend, and we hope to see you there next year.
Our first-year OMA student Varga András has a cute little dog called Gizi, and he would like you to meet her. Gizi has been waiting for her debut patiently, so she deserves the fame. Look at that lovely cloud, she is adorable.
Today, we are celebrating the Revolution of 1848 and our national independence. As we are English majors, why not reflect upon that era by pointing out some of its embededness in Anglo-Saxon culture? This is not to emphasise our international importance of course, but these connections are still interesting to consider. 🙂
This is a painting of the Chain Bridge (Lánchíd) by American painter Bridget Austin. The construction of the Chain Bridge was initiated by Széchenyi István during the Reform era. It was designed by the English William Tierney Clark and built by the Scottish Adam Clark.

In “Maud”, Alfred Tennyson writes,
For the drift of the Maker is dark, an Isis hid by the veil.
Who knows the ways of the world, how God will bring them about?
Our planet is one, the suns are many, the world is wide.
Shall I weep if a Poland fall? shall I shriek if a Hungary fail?
Or an infant civilization be ruled with rod or with knout?
I have not made the world, and He that made it will guide.
(Part 1: 143-8)
The magnificent W. H. Auden translated our national hero Petőfi’s famous epigram:
Sorrow? A great ocean.
Joy?
A little pearl of the ocean.
Perhaps
By the time I fish it up
I may break it.
Petőfi translated Shakespeare’s tragedy Coriolanus:
Mi édes hangok!
Inkább meghalni, éhen veszni, mint
Koldulni a megérdemelt dijért.
Mért álljak én e farkasbőrben itt,
S kérjek fűtől-fától szükségtelen
Bizonyságot? Mert a szokás kivánja!
Ha mindenben követjük a szokást,
A régi por söpretlenűl marad,
S oly hegymagasra nő a rossz, hogy a jó
Fölül nem mulja. Nem vagyok bolond,
Inkább legyen dicsőség s hivatal
Akárkié. – Felén már túl vagyok,
Átkínlódom hát a másik felén is.
Más három Polgár jön.
Itt jő nehány voks. –
Szavazzatok rám, értetek csatáztam,
Tiértetek viraszték, értetek van
Rajtam huszonnégy seb, s kétszer kilencz
Csatát láték, hallék; tiértetek
Tettem hol ezt, hol azt. Szavazzatok rám;
Szeretném a consulságot, valóban.
(II.3.)
