| | The Wild Wild West Chronology |
 | | In the Signet novel The Wild, Wild West based on the TV episode The Night of the Double-Edged Knife it's stated West was 22 years old in 1865. | | | Finally, a glance at this timeline of the television series The Wild, Wild West will quickly reveal that this is a "purist's" chronology, including only the events of the series, the two television movies, and the few novels and comics that have been licensed. | | | In the TV movie, The Wild, Wild West Revisited, the year is definitely 1885, Grover Cleveland is president and West and Gordon have been retired for about 10 years. |

| | The letters trace Cody's life from his scouting days through the heyday of the Wild West Show, and finally to his later years. | | | The immensity of the show and the exaggerated dramas of life on the frontier entrenched the images of the wild west in the minds of Americans and the rest of the world during the show's existence. | | | The myth of the Wild West is not sufficient to guide policy or government in the modern West, but it has certainly earned its place in our national folklore. |

| | To get to the North Shore, you drive west out of Honolulu, past Pearl Harbor and up over the hill to Schofield Barracks, until the four-lane highway becomes a two-lane road as it drops through the pineapple fields south of Haleiwa. | | | Visitors who don't want to inhale a wall of water can simply stroll miles of white-sand beaches, watch sea life amid the tide pools or simply find a shady spot under the ironwood trees and read a good book. | | | Liquid mountains drive all but the bravest or most foolish from the water. |

| | The Wild Bunch (1969) |
| | The Wild Bunch (1969) is director/co-writer Sam Peckinpah's provocative, brilliant yet controversial Western, shocking for its graphic and elevated portrayal of violence and savagely-explicit carnage, yet hailed for its truly realistic and reinterpreted vision of the dying West in the early 20th century. | | | In the same year as The Wild Bunch, which increased the acceptance and tolerance level for violence on the screen, Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid (1969) provided quite a contrast - it was an entertaining, popular Western with humor and lighthearted action. | | | Its unrelenting, bleak tale tells of aging, scroungy outlaws (the 'wild bunch') bound by a private code of honor, camaraderie and friendship, but they find that they are at odds with the society of 1913. |

| | Amazon.com: Video: Man of the West (1958) |
| | This grim, brooding tale of disillusionment in the old west, like Sam Fuller's "Forty Guns" one year before it, shattered many of the conventions of the Western and helped reinvent that genre, a decade before "The Wild Bunch" or Leone's "Man With No Name Trilogy". | | | I highly recommend MAN OF THE WEST, but don't bother with this pan&scan vhs version. | | | Though MAN OF THE WEST was filmed in glorious CinemaScope, the only version available on vhs is an abysmal pan&scan, which is particularly unacceptable in a picture that aims to express the distance between men, and the barrenness of the landscape, by dislocating much of the action to the extreme edges of the frame. |

| | The poem starts with the invocation to the wind, which, beside being written in capital letters, is addressed as “wild”, symbolizing its blind power and careless strength, and “west”, defining its autumnal nature, and is introduced to the reader while blowing all over the earth bringing destruction and death everywhere. | | | The surface of the poem is quite simple since the West Wind is the main character throughout the lines and the first three stanzas respectively deal with its action on the land, the sky and the sea which, on their turn, symbolically stand for the natural elements earth, air and water. | | | In the first tercet, as to remind the reader of the general presence of the wind all over nature, there is the simile between the clouds driven all across the sky and the decaying leaves of the first stanza scattered upon the earth. |

| | SparkNotes: Shelley's Poetry: "Ode to the West Wind" |
| | The speaker invokes the "wild West Wind" of autumn, which scatters the dead leaves and spreads seeds so that they may be nurtured by the spring, and asks that the wind, a "destroyer and preserver," hear him. | | | The speaker says that the wind stirs the Mediterranean from "his summer dreams," and cleaves the Atlantic into choppy chasms, making the "sapless foliage" of the ocean tremble, and asks for a third time that it hear him. | | | The rhyme scheme in each part follows a pattern known as terza rima, the three-line rhyme scheme employed by Dante in his Divine Comedy. |

| | The last two lines of the stanza are addressed to the wind itself, Shelley calls it wild, says that it is both destroyer and preserver, destroyer of the remaining warmth and color of autumn, and the preserver of the seeds and buds until the spring. | | | He tells of how the wind is able to move the clouds, to separate them from heaven and the ocean. | | | Shelley wishes that the fierce spirit of the wind would be his own. |
