Spiritualism is the belief that the spirits of the dead have both the ability and the inclination to communicate with the living.
 The afterlife, or the "spirit world", is seen by spiritualists, not as a static place, but as one in which spirits continue to evolve.
 These two beliefs: that contact with spirits is possible, and that spirits are more advanced than humans, lead spiritualists to a third belief, that spirits are capable of providing useful knowledge about moral and ethical issues, as well as about the nature of God.
 Some spiritualists will speak of a concept which they refer to as "spirit guides"—specific spirits, often contacted, who are relied upon for spiritual guidance.
 Spiritism, a branch of spiritualism developed by Allan Kardec and today practiced mostly in Continental Europe and Latin America, especially in Brazil, emphasizes reincarnation.
Björn Emil Oscar Nyberg (11 September 1929 – 16 November 2004), was a Swedish fantasy author best known for his additions to the series of Conan stories begun by Robert E. Howard.
 His primary contribution to the series was "The Return of Conan" (1957), which was revised for publication by L. Sprague de Camp.
 He lived in France.
Sargent's Pond is a man-made 3 acre pond on Sargent Road in Brookline, Massachusetts.
 The pond was created by Charles Sprague Sargent (best known as the first director of the Arnold Arboretum) in the late 1870s as a centerpiece of his family's extensive Holm Lea estate.
 Sargent's estate has since been subdivided, but the roads giving access to it run along the estate's original alignments, and are private roads.
 Sargent landscaped the estate using similar principles to those he applied at the Arboretum, with vistas and a variety of trees and shrubs.
 The pond was created by damming a brook.
 It still has naturalistic plantings around it, although some Sargent's rhododendrons (a significant draw on occasions when he opened the estate to the public) have died.

 It is dedicated to the memory of Elizabeth Sprague Coolidge, an American patron of chamber music.
 Poulenc composed it for the flautist Jean-Pierre Rampal, and he and Rampal gave the première in June 1957 at the Strasbourg Music Festival.
