| Quotation | I walked in the woods (D[erby] D[ay] place) for a while; read some bits in a selection of Protestant Mystics - liked Rufus Jones and especially an anonymous Anglican woman called Aurelia who seems to be right on target! Then read more Montale. The "Eastbourn" poem. His motets are exquisite - one, a still life of Pompeian souvenirs, is as pretty as Mozart |
