oof!

Apologies for any errors, omissions or misattributions -- this took a long time to gather and code and my mind may have wandered :)

[alextiefling.livejournal.com]

No worries - I'd just like to disclaim credit for 2.2, as my guess about it was wrong. Thanks!

Hunting for "time-warp tough guy" on Google revealed that all the phrases in Q 1.6 are chapter titles from a book by Kate Kray, Ronnie Kray's widow. In the USA (for example, on Barnes and Noble's site, where I found the chapter titles) the book is called Naughty Bastards, but here in the UK it is Diamond Geezers. They are: Roy Shaw (a walking talking killing machine), Barrington Patterson (a hell fighter), Bernie Davis (the time-warp tough guy) and Kiane Sabet (an honourable man), along with 17 other complete sons of bitches.

A little scrabbling around on line strongly suggests round 14 is body parts:

4: This is from Vergissmeinnicht by WW2 poet Keith Douglas. A dead German solider's

girl
who has put: Steffi. Vergissmeinnicht.
in a copybook gothic script

we are subsequently told

But she would weep to see today
how on his skin the swart flies move;
the dust upon the paper eye
and the burst stomach like a cave.

(I studied this poem at school, which is why the strange and horrible metaphor in the question seemed familiar.)

9: katstevens' rhyming hint was correct:

I stick this probe
In the posterior lobe—
Behold the cerebellum
A smoky yellow, like old vellum!

from Dartmoor by Manx poet T E Brown, a former KWC boy himself.

10: This was easily found through Google:

Hope springs eternal in the human breast;
Man never Is, but always To be blest:
The soul, uneasy and confin'd from home,
Rests and expatiates in a life to come.

- Alexander Pope, An Essay on Man

Is it possible that this round is specifically internal organs in poetry?

[alextiefling.livejournal.com]

I see from researching Keith Douglas that he was a great admirer of, and acknowledged his debt to, WW1 poet Isaac Rosenberg, who wrote:

They left this dead with the older dead,
Stretched at the cross roads. (6.2)

in Dead Man's Dump, which deals with a similar theme, and in a similar way, to Vergissmeinnicht. Neither poet saw the end of the war in question.

1.3 is chipmunks! Diamond is a dog in the book, Diamond Dust And Other Stories (http://books.google.co.uk/books?id=FZeqEu78i-cC&pg=PA52&lpg=PA52&dq=%22lustrous+with+desire%22&source=bl&ots=PefHEDAuqo&sig=a9MTZ2a1uzXF3LsmqQInvoYc-Q0&hl=en&sa=X&ei=VPPyUKK-BpG20QWRlYDABA&ved=0CFMQ6AEwBQ#v=onepage&q=%22lustrous%20with%20desire%22&f=false) by Anita Desai.

10:4 is the Try Pots. It's from Moby Dick. "Fishiest of all fishy places was the Try Pots, which well deserved its name; for the pots there were always boiling chowders.

10:7 is talking about the Harkness Tower at Yale.

"It was designed by James Gamble Rogers, who designed many of Yale's "Collegiate Gothic" structures. Rogers said his design for the tower was inspired by "Boston Stump," the 272-foot (83 m) tower of the parish church of St Botolph in Boston, England. The 15th-century Boston Stump is the tallest parish church tower in England. Rogers also based some details on the 16th-century tower of St Giles church in Wrexham, Wales, where Elihu Yale is buried."

"The tower was constructed between 1917 and 1921" which would make it a C20th Stump.

I think 10.2 refers to John "Grizzly" Adams, died in 1860, not long after he'd been on a "summer tour of Massachusetts, Connecticut and New Hampshire as part of Nixon & Company's Circus". Which I'm presuming was by railroad. But not finding anything more precise at the moment.

5.1: could be Captain John Moresby: The place where [Port Moresby (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Port_Moresby), capital of Papua New Guinea] was founded has been inhabited by the Motu-Koitabu people for centuries.

8.7 is Hamlet to Polonius:

P: What is the matter, my lord?
H: Between who?
P: I mean, the matter that you read, my lord.
H: Slanders, sir: for the satirical rogue says here that old men have grey beards, that their faces are wrinkled, their eyes purging thick amber and plum-tree gum and that they have a plentiful lack of wit, together with most weak hams: all which, sir, though I most powerfully and potently believe, yet I hold it not honesty to have it thus set down, for yourself, sir, should be old as I am, if like a crab you could go backward.
P Aside: Though this be madness, yet there is method in 't.

HABERDASHER: Here is the cap your worship did bespeak.
PETRUCHIO: Why, this was moulded on a porringer;

A knack, a toy, a trick, a baby's cap.
Away with it. Come, let me have a bigger.

FALSTAFF: I grant ye, upon instinct. Well, he is there too,

land now as cheap as stinking mackerel.

8.8: Gratiano in The Merchant of Venice (http://www.opensourceshakespeare.org/views/plays/play_view.php?WorkID=merchantvenice&Act=1&Scene=1&Scope=scene&LineHighlight=85#85):

GRATIANO: Let me play the fool: 85
With mirth and laughter let old wrinkles come,
And let my liver rather heat with wine
Than my heart cool with mortifying groans.
Why should a man, whose blood is warm within,
Sit like his grandsire cut in alabaster? 90
Sleep when he wakes and creep into the jaundice
By being peevish? I tell thee what, Antonio—
I love thee, and it is my love that speaks—
There are a sort of men whose visages
Do cream and mantle like a standing pond, 95
And do a wilful stillness entertain,
With purpose to be dress'd in an opinion
Of wisdom, gravity, profound conceit,
As who should say 'I am Sir Oracle,
And when I ope my lips let no dog bark!' 100
O my Antonio, I do know of these
That therefore only are reputed wise
For saying nothing; when, I am very sure,
If they should speak, would almost damn those ears,
Which, hearing them, would call their brothers fools. 105
I'll tell thee more of this another time:
But fish not, with this melancholy bait,
For this fool gudgeon, this opinion.
Come, good Lorenzo. Fare ye well awhile:
I'll end my exhortation after dinner.
