Complain to the Subtle Energies Commission.

Listening to - On Air - June Tabor

meant to link to this page yesterday. The British Library has created online versions of some of the great books in its collection. The Sforza Hours is stunning though it seems to have a very colloquial view of its religious subjects. The depiction of Christ being attached to the prone cross especially captures the provincial mood of the whole thing. The guy pulling on the rope at the bottom which braced against the base of the upright is especially dynamic. The Leonardo notebook is also good and through being turnable you get a real connection to the artist. Well I did anyway.

I was thinking about the extremity that I sometimes see posted on the various pages that whistle across my field of view. I wondered about how many of them actually think like they purport to rather than simply mouthing off in this obnoxious way simply to wind people up. It seems to me that some comment is like shouting rude words at the top of your voice in the library (See Dick and Dom in Da Bungalow - have to watch it 'cos of first born). The only worry is that it is very difficult to tell who is doing this and who is likely to strap a bomb to themselves and disintegrate in public places simply because of the shaking hatred within them. As I was saying to Matty Groves only the other day ...

Can't carry on because it does not just seem right in the light of what I am listening to. Nothing seems right; we should not smile or laugh while all this is going on. Nothing changes ... ever.
