It disappeared from my parent's house among a number of other things when my mother got sick. I like to think she'd packed it to take with her later. I think one way or another we're always preparing for death even in the midst of life.susanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16747450215034568033noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8764563741359701027.post-4016878793968301752009-10-25T21:37:24.121-07:002009-10-25T21:37:24.121-07:00i felt that way about a bible i had when i was lit...i felt that way about a bible i had when i was little. it had thin, holy-feeling pages. it felt like something bad would happen if i tore a page. <br />there was a section to write in births, marriages and deaths. <br />but of course, as a child, i saw only death. my bird. my dog. my frog. etc.<br />the first one was my bird. it didn't have a name. i found it with a broken wing. i asked a neighbor to set the wing, but he said i'd have to pull out all the feathers from the wing first. i tried to pull a feather, but i didn't have the heart to do it. <br />so i put the bird in a shoebox on an old towel. all that night, i'd go on the porch and check on him. he was in shock. <br />and he was dead the next morning.<br />my bible was full of tears.<br />i recorded all of them. <br />the weird thing is i don't know what happened to it, the bible. it disappeared with my childhood, about when i went off to college.Seraphinehttp://encoreseraphine.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8764563741359701027.post-10193907086090025242009-10-25T12:26:10.848-07:002009-10-25T12:26:10.848-07:00jams - You're right but looking at them critic...jams - You're right but looking at them critically as works of art the Book of Kells and Blake's prints are superior. These are wonderful in a different way.<br /><br />spadoman - I had to show some pictures just because they're the essential element for my own tendency toward the visual and tactile.

I took a lot of sociology courses and psychiatry courses, (Freud). I don't remember much of the writings from the textbooks. The hands on experience was always the best part for me, (label me a concrete observer).<br />The art looks wonderful. I can see this as a prize possession in that right by itself besides the writings.<br />Have wonderful time with it.<br /><br />Peace.Spadomanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17781369901345409341noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8764563741359701027.post-6822804453019115392009-10-25T08:03:27.684-07:002009-10-25T08:03:27.684-07:00Wow it looks like the Book of Kells, meets Songs o...Wow it looks like the Book of Kells, meets Songs of Innocence of Experience, meets the Rubiyyat... ie, It looks utterly beautiful!jams o donnellhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17315325008175184363noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8764563741359701027.post-34375064649922218842009-10-24T21:19:39.538-07:002009-10-24T21:19:39.538-07:00belette - I re-read that one every couple of years...belette - I re-read that one every couple of years just because it's so amazingly wonderful.

It occurred to be that according the eastern philosophies the Word is the original sound (or note). It seems only right that music would be the answer.<br /><br />randal - We were lucky enough to read the NY Times book review in September and pre-ordered it then from Amazon. I expected it was going to cost $500 or more but was amazed we were able to buy it for much less than the cover price. There's even a picture or two of Cthulu :-)<br /><br />liberality - It's for sale at Amazon for $114 but the next shipping date appears to be December.

I just went to the link and saw that by enlarging the illustrations they show you can actually get a sense of just how magnificent they are in reality. I'd love to see the original but I'm very satisfied with what we got since I can take my time. We don't have lots of money but it's well worth the price.susanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16747450215034568033noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8764563741359701027.post-31336467334177709012009-10-23T22:01:14.180-07:002009-10-23T22:01:14.180-07:00Wow, I'd love to see that book!
