Trip to Richemonde









I was wondering where this was filmed:

David Gilmour - Sonnet 18 (William Shakespeare)


See Sonnet 18 by William Shakespeare.

Shall I compare thee to a summer’s day?
Thou art more lovely and more temperate:
Rough winds do shake the darling buds of May,
And summer’s lease hath all too short a date;
Sometime too hot the eye of heaven shines,
And often is his gold complexion dimm'd;
And every fair from fair sometime declines,
By chance or nature’s changing course untrimm'd;
But thy eternal summer shall not fade,
Nor lose possession of that fair thou ow’st;
Nor shall death brag thou wander’st in his shade,
When in eternal lines to time thou grow’st:
   So long as men can breathe or eyes can see,
   So long lives this, and this gives life to thee.

Something went wrong and I ended up pasting this link:



My friend Isabel said that the good thing about having money is that you can hire a lawyer and so people are more respectful of you. Hopefully this'll apply to the Earth too. It's all very well having sonnets written about your beauty, but in the end it's your actual life that matters more.

See https://www.ndcs.org.uk/ and the RNID page on Cochlear implants:

Today we are funding research to improve the technology for cochlear implants and to make sure more people benefit from them.

The research focuses on:

  • demonstrating the benefits of cochlear implants
  • refining the methods used to determine whether someone is suitable for an implant
  • finding ways to improve how cochlear implant users hear speech, especially in noisy environments
  • developing rehabilitation tools, such as training programmes, to help people learn to interpret the sounds they hear through their implant.

The guy I talked to identified as Kashmiri (UKPIP), not Pakistani. So I said "Oh, so you're a separatist?" I told him about this documentary:

And hopefully he'll also see

And this

Now let's see what we know about politics in Britain, shall we.

T.S. Elliot reads The Waste Land 

That is a very strange production! This is something you need to see in print tu fully appreciate. See The Poetry Foundation's web version of The Waste Land. There are two kinds of knowing, I think, and that's maybe where the problem lies Nobody agrees on which is which! In fact neither is ever going to make sense without the other. Maybe one is masculine and the other feminine, but that should definitely be taken in the sense of Yin and Yang or Solar and Lunar. In fact that split into passive and active is built into Ancient Greek, and it definitely loses something in our modern notions of masculine and feminine. Something that has impressed me about re-reading Feynman's QED is how much he knew about the work of Newton. When I first read it I was in my early twenties, and it was only the second popular physics book I'd really read, the first being Roger Penrose's The Emperor's New Mind,  (which is a really fantastic book, but which is also so amazingly flawed) I thought it was just me that didn't know all that about Newton, but you don't hear about all those experiments these days. It's usually just "Newton thought that light was made of particles" and "Newton split white light with a prism and attributed the colours to properties of the particles". Goethe on the other hand attributed the colours to the splitting process, and the recombination process in the eye. But you hear even less about Goethe!
