>After the Parliamentarian victory in the Civil War, the Puritan views of the majority of Parliament and its supporters began to be imposed on the rest of the country. The Puritans advocated an austere lifestyle and restricted what they saw as the excesses of the previous regime. Most prominently, holidays such as Christmas and Easter were suppressed.[2] Pastimes such as the theatre and gambling were also banned. However, some forms of art that were thought to be "virtuous", such as opera, were encouraged. These changes are often credited to Oliver Cromwell, though they were introduced by the Commonwealth Parliament; and Cromwell, when he came to power, was a liberalising influence.

>Is é Mars (uaireanta Máirt) an ceathrú pláinéad ón ngrian sa ghrianchóras. Dearg an príomhdhath a aithníonn súil an duine ar Mhars, agus is gnách "an pláinéad dearg" a thabhairt air. Bheadh sé chomh maith againn "an pláinéad rua" a thabhairt air, áfach, nó is é rua na meirge atá i gceist dáiríre: tá dromchla Mharsa saibhir go maith in iarann. Tá uisce ar fáil ar Mhars, siúd is go bhfuil sé sioctha síos inniu. Ceist mhór í i gcónaí, an bhfuil, nó an raibh, aon chineál beatha ar Mhars riamh. An cineál arrachtaigh a d'fheicfeá ar leathanaigh na leabhar le H. G. Wells nó Edgar Rice Burroughs, is léir nach raibh siad ann riamh go bhfios dúinn, ach tá na saineolaithe i bhfad níos dóchasaí as beatha aoncheallach de chineál éigin, ar aon leibhéal le baictéir nó aiméibí, cuir i gcás.
