De Plane De Plane!
“De plane de plane!” – this is a catchphrase from the TV series Fantasy Island. In the show, characters on the island must leave the island to get back home. However, they’re not always able to do this because the island’s weather isn’t always cooperative. This can lead to misunderstandings.
Herve Villechaize
In the late 1970s, Aaron Spelling created the sitcom Fantasy Island and cast Herve Villechaize as the lovable sidekick of Mr. Roarke. In the show, Villechaize would greet guests who arrived on a plane with the catchphrase, “de plane de plane!” The show’s popularity skyrocketed, and the title became a catchphrase for the show.
Villechaize was twice married. His first marriage ended in divorce. He met Camille Hagen while filming the Fantasy Island series. The couple lived on a 1.5-acre (0.61 ha) ranch in the San Fernando Valley and had no children. Villechaize had few Hollywood friends, though he did attend concerts by Johnny Lee.
Villechaize was born in Paris and was the son of a doctor. He suffered from a thyroid condition at a young age. As a result, he grew to be only four feet tall at full maturity. Villechaize went under many painful medical procedures, including multiple thyroid surgeries. He even underwent a series of tests at the Mayo Clinic in Minnesota.
Villechaize’s sex addiction and mental turmoil eventually led him to commit suicide. He sought an outlet for his anxieties in the arts, and studied at the Beaux-Arts de Paris. In fact, at age 18 he became the youngest artist to exhibit at the Museum of Paris.
Fantasy Island
“De plane de plane!” is a catchphrase from the TV series Fantasy Island. It reminds us of the joyous moments when the characters on the island fly into the sky. The show is an enthralling experience for kids of all ages, and it makes the viewers want to go back to the islands to experience the joy of flying.
The series began airing in the fall of 1982, and it quickly became one of the most popular shows on television. While it was no longer in primetime, it continued in syndication and was offered in half-hour and hour-long formats. Episodes were shot separately, with half-screen time allocated to each story. The show was darker than other kids’ shows of the time, but the show was still fun and entertaining.
The series featured hundreds of guest stars. Some guest stars appeared in multiple episodes. The show was so popular, in fact, that the cast had to be replaced every season. In addition to Herve, the cast of Fantasy Island included many other famous people. Some of the most well-known faces from the show were David Arquette, David O’Doherty, and Tim Allen.
The new Fantasy Island doesn’t completely separate itself from the original series, but it’s sort of like an unofficial tenth season of the nine-season run of the series. It includes all the episodes from the first nine seasons, and will air a holiday episode on December 21. A second season of the show will start in 2022.
Dickinson’s poem
The first part of Dickinson’s poem, “A Bird, came down the Walk,” is a 20-line poem divided into five quatrains. Though the poem follows a basic stanza structure, Dickinson also makes use of old folk traditions to create its unique rhythm. The poem refers to the speaker’s possessions and property as “Keepsakes” and poses the question, “Do these Keepsakes really matter?”
The second part of Dickinson’s poem is less focused on the metric of flight and more focused on imagery. She compares the action of flight with the arc, curve, and distance of life, and the beauty of flight and nature. The poet uses imagery throughout the poem to help the reader visualize this motion.
Dickinson’s poetry is full of spiritual and environmental themes. While she remained relatively quiet in her life, her work was closely aligned with the idealistic new movements of the 19th century that sought to protect nature. The Transcendentalists were influential to her and shared her belief in nature’s spiritual power. She also admired the work of William Wordsworth and Charlotte Bronte.
Dickinson’s poetry has been reprinted in several editions, including two volumes of her poetry. The first two volumes were edited by Mabel Loomis Todd, a young woman close to Austin Dickinson. Todd did not finish the editing, but her daughter Millicent finished it. The third edition was published in 1896.
