church! God sees my name; God knows how black my sins are! It is enough! (Proctor 1166). Proctor then gets hanged for not letting the court hang his name.

“Once upon a time” is a poem written by Gabriel Okara‚ a Nigerian poet.

the origin of the phrase “once in a blue moon” and what a blue moon actually is. “Once in a blue moon” today means “very rarely‚” though it used to mean something that was absurd‚ right along the lines of “when pigs fly.” The first known recorded use of a form of the phrase is in an anti-clerical pamphlet published in 1528 by William Roy and Jeremy Barlowe.
