Cathedral Blake

 

September 17, 2024

Rain steady from midnight until now. 

Withdrew for All Is Calm. Too many performances over too much time.

Blake last night. I think it was a success. The crowd was twice the size it had been on the previous night, including people in their 20's. A wrote on Face Book: If you weren't at David Hopes' class at The Cathedral of All Souls last night, you missed out! I learned a ton about the proto-romantic poet and engraver William Blake, heard some great poetry, looked at some cool art, learned about Blake's dark-mirror cosmology, and best of all benefited from David's encompassing knowledge of the subject in its breadth and enchanting complexity. David's passion for the subject rendered it both hypnotic and stimulating. There are still two classes left. If you haven't been able to attend yet, I'm sure you could pick up in the middle.

Turned the furnace on, at least for the night.
