Note: the phrase &#8220;it&#8217;s just not cricket&#8221; is used in English to say that something is unfair or dishonest.
An outstanding all-rounder, William Gilbert &#8220;W. G.&#8221; Grace MRCS LRCP (18 July 1848 – 23 October 1915) was a an English amateur cricketer and a doctor. He obtained his medical diploma from the University of Edinburgh and qualified as a Licentiate of the Royal College of Physicians (LRCP) and became a Member of the Royal College of Surgeons (MRCS). After qualifying he worked at 61 Stapleton Road in Easton, Bristol, employing two locums during the cricket season. He was the local Public Vaccinator and had additional duties as the Medical Officer to the Barton Regis Union, which involved tending patients in the workhouse (Rae 1998).
W.G. Grace was important in the development of cricket and is widely considered one of its greatest-ever players. Generally known as &#8220;W. G.&#8221;, he played first-class cricket for a record-equaling 44 seasons, from 1865 to 1908, during which he captained England, Gloucestershire, the Gentlemen, Marylebone Cricket Club (MCC), the United South of England Eleven (USEE) and several other teams. Right-handed as both batsman and bowler, Grace dominated the sport during his career. His technical innovations and enormous influence left a lasting legacy.

**Note:** the phrase "it's just not cricket" is used in English to say
that something is unfair or dishonest.

An outstanding all-rounder, **William Gilbert "W. G." Grace** MRCS LRCP
(18 July 1848 -- 23 October 1915) was a an English amateur cricketer and
a doctor. He obtained his medical diploma from the University of
Edinburgh and qualified as a Licentiate of the Royal College of
Physicians (LRCP) and became a Member of the Royal College of Surgeons
(MRCS). After qualifying he worked at 61 Stapleton Road in Easton,
Bristol, employing two locums during the cricket season. He was the
local Public Vaccinator and had additional duties as the Medical Officer
to the Barton Regis Union, which involved tending patients in the
workhouse (Rae 1998).

W.G. Grace was important in the development of cricket and is widely
considered one of its greatest-ever players. Generally known as "W. G.",
he played first-class cricket for a record-equaling 44 seasons, from
1865 to 1908, during which he captained England, Gloucestershire, the
Gentlemen, Marylebone Cricket Club (MCC), the United South of England
Eleven (USEE) and several other teams. Right-handed as both batsman and
bowler, Grace dominated the sport during his career. His technical
innovations and enormous influence left a lasting legacy. \[[Wikipedia

**Fernando António Nogueira Pessoa** (13 June 1888 -- 30 November 1935)
was a Portuguese poet, writer, literary critic, translator, publisher
and philosopher, described as one of the most significant literary
figures of the 20th century and one of the greatest poets in the
Portuguese language. He also wrote in and translated from English and
French \[[Wikipedia
entry](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fernando_Pessoa){target="_blank"
rel="noopener"}\].

Published posthumously, *The Book of Disquiet* is a fragmentary lifetime
project, left unedited by Fernando Pessoa, who introduced it as a
"factless autobiography." The book was credited to Bernardo Soares, one
of the author's alternate writing names, which he called
semi-heteronyms, and had a preface attributed to Fernando Pessoa,
another alternate writing name or orthonym \[[Wikipedia
entry](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Book_of_Disquiet){target="_blank"
rel="noopener"}\].

On 29 November 1935, Fernando Pessoa (1888--1935), suffering from
abdominal pain and a high fever, was taken to the Hospital de São Luís.
There he wrote, in English, his last words: "I know not what tomorrow
will bring." He died the next day, aged 47. ([Ciuraru

As in the rest of this series, this is a homage; liberties were taken with the historical source material.
Edith Louisa Cavell (4 December 1865 – 12 October 1915) was a British nurse. She is celebrated for saving the lives of soldiers from both sides without discrimination and in helping some 200 Allied soldiers escape from German-occupied Belgium during the First World War, for which she was arrested. She was accused of treason, found guilty by a court-martial and sentenced to death. Despite international pressure for mercy, she was shot by a German firing squad. Her execution received worldwide condemnation and extensive press coverage. The night before her execution, she said, &#8220;Patriotism is not enough. I must have no hatred or bitterness towards anyone.&#8221; These words were later inscribed on a memorial to her near Trafalgar Square. Her strong Anglican beliefs propelled her to help all those who needed it, both German and Allied soldiers. She was quoted as saying, &#8220;I can’t stop while there are lives to be saved.&#8221; The Church of England commemorates her in its Calendar of Saints on 12 October. Cavell, who was 49 at the time of her execution, was already notable as a pioneer of modern nursing in Belgium.

Ricardo Flores Magón (Eloxochitlán, Oaxaca, 16 September 1874 &#8211; Leavenworth Federal Penitentiary, Kansas, 22 November 1922) was the main ideologist of the Mexican anarchist movement, a key component for the development of the Mexican Revolution (1910-1920). While in exile in the United States, he was charged with sedition and espionage by the W. Wilson administration and sentenced to twenty years in prison. He died 5 years later, blind from glaucoma and diabetes, in a cell at the Leavenworth Kansas Penitentiary.

Walt Whitman (May 31, 1819 – March 26, 1892) was an American poet, essayist, and journalist. A humanist, he was a part of the transition between transcendentalism and realism, incorporating both views in his works. After suffering a paralytic stroke in early 1873, Whitman was induced to move from Washington to the home of his brother—George Washington Whitman, an engineer—at 431 Stevens Street in Camden, New Jersey. While in residence there he was very productive, publishing three versions of Leaves of Grass among other works. [<a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Walt_Whitman#Leaves_of_Grass" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Wikipedia entry</a>] You can read Leaves of Grass in its entirety via <a href="https://whitmanarchive.org/published/LG/index.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">The Walt Whitman Archive</a>.

On September 17, 1925, Frida was in a serious traffic accident which resulted in multiple body fractures and internal lesions inflicted by an iron rod that had pierced her stomach and uterus. It took her three months in full-body cast to recover and though she eventually willed her way to walking again, she spent the rest of her life battling frequent relapses of extreme pain and enduring frequent hospital visits, including more than thirty operations. As a way of occupying herself while bedridden, Kahlo made her first strides in painting — then went on to become one of the most influential painters in modern art.

“I never thought of painting until 1926, when I was in bed on account of an automobile accident,” she wrote to gallery owner <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Julien_Levy" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Julien Levy</a> before her 1938 show. “I was bored as hell in bed . . . so I decided to do something. I stoled [sic] from my father some oil paints, and my mother ordered for me a special easel because I couldn’t sit down [the letter was written in English; she meant sit up], and I started to paint.”  [<a href="https://www.nationalgeographic.co.uk/2019/01/excerpt-inconvenient-spectacle-frida-kahlo" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Karbo 2019</a>]

**Frida Kahlo** (6 July 1907 -- 13 July 1954) was a Mexican painter
known for her many portraits, self-portraits, and works inspired by the
nature and artifacts of Mexico. \[[Wikipedia
entry](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Frida_Kahlo){target="_blank"
rel="noopener"}\].

On September 17, 1925, Frida was in a serious traffic accident which
resulted in multiple body fractures and internal lesions inflicted by an
iron rod that had pierced her stomach and uterus. It took her three
months in full-body cast to recover and though she eventually willed her
way to walking again, she spent the rest of her life battling frequent
relapses of extreme pain and enduring frequent hospital visits,
including more than thirty operations. As a way of occupying herself
while bedridden, Kahlo made her first strides in painting --- then went
on to become one of the most influential painters in modern art.
\[[Popova

"I never thought of painting until 1926, when I was in bed on account of
an automobile accident," she wrote to gallery owner [Julien
Levy](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Julien_Levy){target="_blank"
rel="noopener"} before her 1938 show. "I was bored as hell in bed . . .
so I decided to do something. I stoled \[sic\] from my father some oil
paints, and my mother ordered for me a special easel because I couldn't
sit down \[the letter was written in English; she meant sit up\], and I
started to paint."  \[[Karbo
2019](https://www.nationalgeographic.co.uk/2019/01/excerpt-inconvenient-spectacle-frida-kahlo){target="_blank"
rel="noopener"}\]

"Viva la Vida" (1954) is known to be the last painting that Frida Kahlo
did. Despite her deteriorated health, the title of this work is a
tribute to life. \[[Google Arts &

Albert Camus (7 November 1913 – 4 January 1960) was a French philosopher, author, and journalist. He won the Nobel Prize in Literature at the age of 44 in 1957, the second-youngest recipient in history.  [<a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Plague" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Wikipedia entry</a>]
The Plague (French: La Peste) is a novel by Albert Camus, published in 1947, that tells the story of a plague sweeping the French Algerian city of Oran. The characters in the book, ranging from doctors to vacationers to fugitives, all help to show the effects the plague has on the population, and in so doing poses questions about the human condition.  [<a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Plague" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Wikipedia entry</a>]
Camus finished a first draft of his novel L&#8217;Étranger (1942) alone in a hotel room in Montmartre. The former Hôtel du Poirier on the rue Ravignan sits atop one of Paris’s “buttes” or hills, whose cleaner air might have benefited the young writer, who struggled with chronic tuberculosis.

**Albert Camus** (7 November 1913 -- 4 January 1960) was a French
philosopher, author, and journalist. He won the Nobel Prize in
Literature at the age of 44 in 1957, the second-youngest recipient in
history.  \[[Wikipedia
entry](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Plague){target="_blank"
rel="noopener"}\]

***The Plague*** (French: *La Peste*) is a novel by Albert Camus,
published in 1947, that tells the story of a plague sweeping the French
Algerian city of Oran. The characters in the book, ranging from doctors
to vacationers to fugitives, all help to show the effects the plague has
on the population, and in so doing poses questions about the human
condition.  \[[Wikipedia
entry](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Plague){target="_blank"
rel="noopener"}\]

Camus finished a first draft of his novel ***L'Étranger*** (1942) alone
in a hotel room in Montmartre. The former Hôtel du Poirier on the **rue
Ravignan** sits atop one of Paris's "buttes" or hills, whose cleaner air
might have benefited the young writer, who struggled with chronic
tuberculosis. \[[*The Paris
Review*](https://www.theparisreview.org/blog/2016/09/19/paris-camuss-notebooks/){target="_blank"

Mary Somerville (née Fairfax, formerly Greig; 26 December 1780 – 29 November 1872) was a Scottish science writer and polymath. She studied mathematics and astronomy, and was nominated to be jointly the first female member of the Royal Astronomical Society at the same time as Caroline Herschel. In 1819 her husband was appointed physician to Chelsea Hospital and the family moved to Hanover Square into a government house in Chelsea. Somerville was a friend of Anne Isabella Milbanke, Baroness Wentworth, and was mathematics tutor to her daughter, Ada Lovelace. With Somerville, Ada attended the scientific gatherings where she met Charles Babbage. [<a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mary_Somerville" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Wikipedia entry</a>]

**Mary Somerville** (née Fairfax, formerly Greig; 26 December 1780 -- 29
November 1872) was a Scottish science writer and polymath. She studied
mathematics and astronomy, and was nominated to be jointly the first
female member of the Royal Astronomical Society at the same time as
Caroline Herschel. In 1819 her husband was appointed physician to
Chelsea Hospital and the family moved to Hanover Square into a
government house in Chelsea. Somerville was a friend of Anne Isabella
Milbanke, Baroness Wentworth, and was mathematics tutor to her daughter,
Ada Lovelace. With Somerville, Ada attended the scientific gatherings
where she met Charles Babbage. \[[Wikipedia
