The Chapel in the Midst

The religious often present Christianity as a faith celebrating love, joy, peace and righteousness. But for the Romantic poet William Blake, the Church’s presence in the world is not as positive as one might expect. In his poem “The Garden of Love,” Blake contrasts two kinds of settings: a lush, innocent garden, and a domineering, stone chapel. Whereas the Garden represents peaceful recollections…

the short stories are actually really provocative and profound, heartrending and disturbing and thought-provoking and funny all at the same time and in such a short amount of space.

but i feel like when n*tflix touched them, they were the first victim of a withering away and soul sapping for me, in which i couldn't bear to be around the kinds of discussions and jokes and everything which were coming up at that time as fundamental misunderstandings of them so it just became very painful and very banal because they were all, in essence, forgotten.

however, that damage is not irreversable.

particularly in the case of a good adaptation, the musical, i have begun to remember all of why i love the short stories so much, just how good and painful to my heart they are, as well as thinking more deeply about some aspects which i had not previously considered or paid a lot of attention to (in lieu of other things which excited me more).

i think the biggest strength of a "good" adaptation and a "good" fandom is that they make you realize things you hadn't, interested in parts that weren't your 'favorite,' and generally expanding your mind and love of the source material. in contrast, a "bad" adaptation or "bad" fandom is that which makes you wish to forget and eventually end up forgetting your love and leaving it behind yourself. "good" is to remember, "bad" is to forget.

#txt #the witcher books #the witcher musical #what i mean here is that sometimes there are things you KNOW but you don't think deeply about and you don't consider the ramifications of #for instance i knew that the waters of brokilon erased your memories to make you a dryad but did i care all that much? not really #because i was so focused on geralt and ciri's relationship that the waters were just something i didn't want to happen to ciri #but hearing braenn's song from the musical made my jaw drop with emotion and horror realizing how impactful that experience would be #similarly ciri's song about the nature in brokilon made me realize that her wonder at all of these beauties is something so rare and #impossible in every single other part of the world because brokilon is The Last Place.#literally no other child - no other HUMAN - will ever see these sights she saw. and she's singing to geralt that she wishes he could see it #but really she is singing to all humans of the continent and therefore the entire audience #because also ciri is such a character as that she is innocent and believes in goodness and justice at this point #such as when she says that calanthe says elves and dryads are good and when she asks yennefer about drawing too much Power #so she's singing: i wish the world could be beautiful and i wish humans were not so cruel (the message of the song not her intention)#i won't even mention what waters of brokilon (song) brings to the table in terms of character understanding rn bc i'm procrastinating #ALSO THE STORY OF THE CAT AND THE FOX....... JAZZY TUNE.... GERALT DAD MOMENTS.... CIRI DANCING.... OK #twn critical #um and considering i just named three sword of destiny songs. the n*tflix series did NOT EVEN HAVE SWORD OF DESTINY.

How can the bird that is born for joy, Sit in a cage and sing. How can a child, when fears annoy, But droop his tender wing. And forget his youthful spring.

Speaking of books, I just saw that the Folio Society just released an edition of William Blake's Songs of Innocence and Experience. FUCK! I WANT! It's a really nice-looking edition. When I told my partner (who has the day off from work) just now, she laughed and said that the Folio Society "has you by the balls." LOL, I mean, yeah, but their books are so pretty!! What's a bitch supposed to do? NOT simp for their books???

From my Bookshelf #2: William Blake's "Songs of Innocence and of Experience"

From my Bookshelf #2: William Blake’s “Songs of Innocence and of Experience”

Last week I did a Twitch stream where I played some Magic the Gathering on MTG Arena while incorporating some poems from William Blake. I’ve always enjoyed Blake both for his simplicity in verse and his insights into the human condition. His vocabulary isn’t strange like Shakespeare’s sometimes is, nor is it so vague that I can hardly glean any meaning at all, like the poems of T.S. Eliot or…
