Question: Who is the minister for defense in the country compared to a stringed agent while the country Chopin was invited to by the person paying for Chopin's funeral was compared to a lion?

She clearly had a notion of going beyond mere friendship, and Chopin was obliged to make it clear to her that this could not be so. He wrote at this time to Grzymała "My Scottish ladies are kind, but such bores", and responding to a rumour about his involvement, answered that he was "closer to the grave than the nuptial bed." He gave a public concert in Glasgow on 27 September, and another in Edinburgh, at the Hopetoun Rooms on Queen Street (now Erskine House) on 4 October. In late summer he was invited by Jane Stirling to visit Scotland, where he stayed at Calder House near Edinburgh and at Johnstone Castle in Renfrewshire, both owned by members of Stirling's family. In late October 1848, while staying at 10 Warriston Crescent in Edinburgh with the Polish physician Adam Łyszczyński, he wrote out his last will and testament—"a kind of disposition to be made of my stuff in the future, if I should drop dead somewhere", he wrote to Grzymała. <SEP> The current Minister for Defence is Leo Varadkar, TD. The Minister for Defence (Irish: An tAire Cosanta) is the senior minister at the Department of Defence in the Government of Ireland. <SEP> mozart's requiem was sung at the funeral; the soloists were the soprano jeanne-anais castellan, the mezzo-soprano pauline viardot, the tenor alexis dupont, and the bass luigi lablache; chopin's preludes no. 4 in e minor and no. 6 in b minor were also played. the organist at the funeral was louis lefébure-wély. the funeral procession to père lachaise cemetery, which included chopin's sister ludwika, was led by the aged prince adam czartoryski. the pallbearers included delacroix, franchomme, and camille pleyel. at the graveside, the funeral march from chopin's piano sonata no. 2 was played, in reber's instrumentation. <SEP> The supporters are the Lion and the Unicorn; the motto is "Dieu et mon droit" (French: "God and my Right"). Surrounding the shield is a representation of a Garter bearing the motto of the Chivalric order of the same name; "Honi soit qui mal y pense". (Old French: "Shame be to him who thinks evil of it"). The Royal coat of arms of the United Kingdom are "Quarterly, I and IV Gules three lions passant guardant in pale Or [for England]; II Or a lion rampant within a double tressure flory-counter-flory Gules [for Scotland]; III Azure a harp Or stringed Argent [for Ireland]". In Scotland, the monarch uses an alternative form of the arms in which quarters I and IV represent Scotland, II England, and III Ireland. The mottoes are "In Defens" (an abbreviated form of the Scots "In My Defens God Me Defend") and the motto of the Order of the Thistle; "Nemo me impune lacessit". (Latin: "No-one provokes me with impunity"); the supporters are the unicorn and lion, who support both the escutcheon and lances, from which fly the flags of Scotland and England. <SEP> Chopin's tombstone, featuring the muse of music, Euterpe, weeping over a broken lyre, was designed and sculpted by Clésinger. Ludwika took Chopin's heart in an urn, preserved in alcohol, back to Poland in 1850. [n 9] She also took a collection of two hundred letters from Sand to Chopin; after 1851 these were returned to Sand, who seems to have destroyed them. The expenses of the funeral and monument, amounting to 5,000 francs, were covered by Jane Stirling, who also paid for the return of the composer's sister Ludwika to Warsaw. <SEP> ``the storm ''is a short story written by the american writer kate chopin in 1898. the story takes place during the 19th century somewhere in the south, where storms are frequent and dangerous. it did not appear in print in chopin's lifetime, but it was published in the complete works of kate chopin in 1969. this story is the sequel to chopin's`` at the 'cadian ball''.
