Lord of the Plants:
Death Metal Eco-Baron Rewilds Irish Estate
Randal Plunkett, the 21st Baron of Dunsany, strides out of his Irish castle in a T-shirt bearing the name of death metal band "Cannibal Corpse" in bloody lettering.
In the distance, a russet-coloured stag appears for a moment, before dissolving into the 750 acres (300 hectares) of ancestral estate Plunkett has surrendered to the wilderness -- almost half of his lands.
"I felt a sort of sense of duty towards the environment here," said Plunkett, perched on a decaying tree trunk sprouting a clutch of mushrooms.
"I'm a caretaker of this estate for this generation and the estate is not just the castle, it's also the land but it's also the environment," the aristocrat told AFP, his mane of shoulder-length hair rippling in the breeze.
Eight years ago, death metal fan Plunkett, whose family have presided over Dunsany Castle northwest of Dublin for nine centuries, began his "radical" rewilding project.
The 38-year-old vegan, an unlikely successor to ancestors depicted in sober portraits lining the walls of the grey stone castle, evicted livestock and dismissed lawnmowers to allow nature to take its course.
Now, the results are plain. The ultra-rare pine marten has been spotted. Otters and red deer thrive.
Skies are jammed with birds: buzzards, red kites, peregrine falcons, sparrowhawks, kestrels and snipes.
Plunkett says a woodpecker has been sighted in the area for the first time in a century.
Beyond the castle crenellations, the lawn is transformed into a swirling morass of 23 species of grass, fizzing with insect life.
Plunkett lends a hand here and there -- planting 2,500 trees last year was no small feat -- but mostly he is hands-off.
"As I watched it, I began to understand what the land was doing," he said after trudging across a field of knotted undergrowth in a faux leather jacket.
"It became a rewilding project," he said, as two Jack Russell terriers named Beavis and Butt-head gambol around his vegan-friendly Doc Martens boots.

A new William Hope Hodgson blog
Welcome to Hodgsoniana, a new blog
about the life and works of author William Hope Hodgson (1877–1918). The aim
of this blog is to provide a home for articles and new research on Hodgson,
details of Hodgson-related happenings, and just generally act as an up-to-date
(hopefully) resource that’s open to anyone interested in this remarkable
literary figure. At time of writing, there is a lack of other active websites
covering this subject, which is why starting a blog seemed a worthwhile
endeavour. At the very least, it gives me a place to post some Hodgson-related
thoughts and findings I’ve been meaning to write up! My hope is that others may
be moved to contribute also.
Before going any further, I want to
recognise the work of the late Hodgson scholar Sam Gafford, and in particular
his excellent Hodgson blog williamhopehodgson.wordpress.com. I first stumbled
upon Sam’s blog back in 2016, and his work opened my eyes to the depths and
complexities of Hodgson’s history and writings. I entered into brief
correspondence with Sam at that time, and his enthusiasm and encouragement were
key factors in starting me on the path of pursuing my own Hodgson studies.
Sam Gafford sadly passed away in
2019, leaving his site dormant. It remains a valuable treasure trove of
information, and I will certainly aspire to follow Sam’s example in exploring
and documenting all matters Hodgson.
2027 will see the 150th anniversary
of William Hope Hodgson’s birth. There is still much to discuss regarding his
work, and many areas of his life remain obscure and in need of further
investigation. I hope this site can help in encouraging and chronicling such
efforts.

Reported Speech, also known as Indirect Speech, involves reporting what someone else said, often requiring changes in tenses, pronouns, and time expressions. Analyze the following statements about backshifting:
I.When reporting a statement made in the Present Simple, the verb usually shifts to the Past Simple if the reporting verb is in the past.
II.The Modal Verb 'must' always remains 'must' in Reported Speech, as it is impossible to express obligation in a reported past context.
III.Time expressions like 'yesterday' are typically changed to 'the day before' or 'the previous day' to maintain the correct chronological reference.
