Years ago in 1974, when I visited the original location of the Courtauld Institute in London, I discovered one of the most divine collection of pictures. Two of my favourite paintings were there - a painting in sepia/umber of Don Quixote and another painting, a Manet still life a vase with lilacs.
Tonight Turner Classic Movies featured the musical 'Man of la Manch' with Peter O'toole, a 'one star feature', and I am struck by the fact that the screenplay has so many healing words so important to remind humanity, far from the original work of Cervantes, but very lovely nevertheless. 'To dream the impossible dream, to right the unrightable wrong, to bear with unbearable sorrow....to reach the unreachable star'.
Truly inspirational lyrics, but screenplay that registered with me "You are a fat pudding".
MMMM
I am struck by our modern global problems and the counterpoint, that the battle between evil and common good goes back for centuries, the debate captured by great literary minds, great philosophers and idealist, and that is how I learned I should stop writing about large ideas. I just wanted to expose the Tale of Greg in my blog, and the abuse of federal monies by Republicans and Democrats as the tenth anniversary of Katrina is fast approaching. An election is looming and a cycle of deceit begins.
