I guarantee that if we use the phrase ‘the hoi polloi’ in the paper, someone will write in to say that the definite article is wrong, because the ancient Greek for ‘the common people’ was just hoi polloi. But we are not writing in ancient Greek, and the phrase just sounds silly without the ‘the’ in an English sentence...

Belladona, n: In Italian a beautiful lady;
in English a deadly poison.
A striking example of the essential identity
of the two tongues.

He who sings scares his woes away.
Miguel de Cervantes
I´ve got a home up in that kingdom, yes, yes
I´ve got a home up in that kingdom, yes, yes
Lay down this world
shoulder up my cross
take me home to my Jesus
Ain´t that good news
I´m gonna tell the story
of my way to glory
I want to sit at Jesus feet
I´m gonna walk those golden streets
gates of pearl, streets of gold
half has never been told
half has never been told,
half has never been told
People pray in songs...
a colourful OM
