Enigmatic Variations N0 1629- Ceaselessly By Curmudgeon

[Matakari]

Good morning, a nice challenge from the EV for this week! Some help would be appreciated for the following, thank you!

( The title CEASELESSLY is omitted from the quotation reading clockwise around the grid’s perimeter, starting in the top left corner. Single extra letters generated by wordplay in down clues give a hint leading to an instruction. Chambers Dictionary ( 2016 ) is recommended.)

 

1d  Banking system turning up in every novel ( 8 ) : ??IG????

3d  Europe’s land deployed for coating of seeds ( 10 ) : ??D?T??U??

6d  Cover with gloom lake bottom and ancient vessel even for poets ( 8 ) : ???AMC?N

 14d  Sincere with reference to beer ( 4 ) : R???

24d  Helper employed by Picasso is terrific ( 8 )  : ?S?IS?Y?

27d  Big shot comes over maintaining well-informed rule ( 7 ) : S??REM?

1 Original

6 Bedarken

14 Real (Re Al(e))

24 Hidden in the clue (remember the 'extra letter generate by wordplay, this means you cal nose one here)

[Neveracrossword]

Sorry about the crazy typing at the end, Matakari - it was meant to read 'can lose..'

[JJ109]

1d. original - l extra

3d your T is wrong - endopleura - a extra

[Neveracrossword]

27 With all the letters you have, finding a word for a 'big shot', tycoon etc, should be easy!

3 D Your T is wrong

[JJ109]

27d supremo - c extra

[Matakari]

Many thanks, jj109 and NACW! Let’s see how close I can get to the quotation with help for the following! Thanks in advance!
 

32a   Might in the past primarily shed togs after last month of spring ( 5 ) : ?AY??

40a   Independent set in Middle East showing attribute ( 6 )  : ??P???

5d     Form of prole, now those considering themselves underprivileged ( 7, 2 words ) : ??W???R

19d   Emit in a stream pamphlet including Ireland in outdated vivid description ( 10 ): ??UR?R??C?

32 Mayst -May (last month of spring) s(hed) t(ogs)

[Neveracrossword]

Thanks, Matakari - I thought you'd fare much better with Chalicea's/Curmudgeon's clues.

32 Mayst. might in the past, ie an old word. May+S(hed) +T(ogs)

[Neveracrossword]

5 D New Poor

16 D Pourtraict

[Neveracrossword]

40 Impute - I, Independent, Put = set and ME, Middle East. Impute, attribute.

[Matakari]

Thanks again! I actually got 32a and 40a but could not parse them. I’m still
befuddled by 24d for which I have:

24d  Helper employed by Picasso is terrific ( 8 )  ?SSISTY?
 

I may have gone astray with some crossers.

[JJ109]

24d Assister (hidden in the clue if you remove the extra "O")

[Neveracrossword]

Matakari, 24 D is simply Assister, hidden in the clue (omitting the O from Picasso)

[JJ109]

42a Mockage not mockery

[Neveracrossword]

JJ, thanks for that (working out where Matakari went astray) - I wondered how my earlier hint (fairly specific) for 24 D hadn't helped!

[Matakari]

Thanks, mockery threw me off completely! Assister was so obvious! Anyway, now on to the quotation!

[Neveracrossword]

Matakari, glad you're on the right track now.

Good luck with the quotation, I'm sure you'd like to get that bit by yourself - so that the 'nice challenge' doesn't become an ordeal for you!

[Matakari]

Merci beaucoup, I've got the quotation and it's a good feeling, indeed. It's done!

[Neveracrossword]

Great stuff, Matakari - that is huge progress! As they say in football, a game of two halves ...

PS I almost forgot to do the ... final step.
