Sonnet 25 by William Shakespeare (read by Simon Callow)

Let those who are in favour with their stars Of public honour and proud titles boast, Whilst I, whom fortune of such triumph bars, Unlook'd for joy in that I honour most.

Great princes' favourites their fair leaves spread But as the marigold at the sun's eye, And in themselves their pride lies buried, For at a frown they in their glory die.

The painful warrior famoused for fight, After a thousand victories once foil'd, Is from the book of honour razed quite, And all the rest forgot for which he toil'd:

Then happy I, that love and am beloved Where I may not remove nor be removed.

Once again processing the rage that comes from wanting to support overseas artists + buy their gorgeous zines and pictures and trinkets, but even the cheapest shipping to my country is at a minimum double the cost of said zine, and then about double again when you convert from USD to AUD. Evil. 

#e.g. $15 USD zine + minimum $25-30 USD shipping = $45 approx. total. then put that into AUD + you're at like. $70. #EVIL #not a sonnet

potential epitaph: was rarely accurate though frequently plausible

#… in other news #i took a book to the local graveyard this morning which i know sounds morbid but it’s full of blossom trees and memorial benches & is #v pleasant anyway after a few laps i sat down and read some #john berryman #sonnets (highly recommended btw) #and after about 25 mins i heard a strange sudden sound and looking around i noticed bird shit next to me #looking up i saw some sort of dove pigeon shuffling across the branch above #i stood up just in time to see a second payload land just where i’d been reading #and laughing i shouted ‘you little bastard’ and it flew away #(the little bastard) #i call this piece: #an indecorous annunciation #💁🏻‍♂️ #personal notes #n.

SONNET by Fernando Pessoa

Could I say what I think, could I express My every hidden and too-silent though, And bring my feelings, in perfection wrought, To one unforced point of living stress.

Could I breathe forth my soul, could I confess The inmost secrets to my nature brought; I might be great, yet none to me hath taught A language well to figure my distress.

Yet day and night to me new whispers bring, And night, and day from me old whispers take… Oh for a word, one phrase in which to fling

All that I think and feel, and so to wake The world; but I am dumb and cannot sing, Dumb as You clouds before the thunders break.

S&Co Sherlock recommended Vivaldi to John and I Lost My Mind

The fact that our Sherlock Holmes recommended Vivaldi to John so suddenly and apruptly is something SO personal! When I read a transcript of the mailbag episode (thank you @eardefenders ) I could NOT stop thinking about it, and have been listening to his many wonderful concertos since. I work in a church choir and am therefore somewhat classically trained, I have also played violin for many years as a child, and still do at times, so allow me to go on a geeky tirade about Antonio Vivaldi and Sherlock's understanding of John.

🎻🌱🌻🍂❄

In the second mailbag episode, a question is asked "If you could make a Spotify playlist for eachother of your own favourite songs, what would some of the highlights be [...] ?"

John answers with the rockband Elbow, who use orchestra and especially strings in their music. Which is why he recommends it to armature violinist Sherlock Holmes. Sherlock says that he would probably never make such a playlist, as he wouldn't find the task fulfilling, but he has an epiphany and IMMEDIATELY interrupts himself, not even finishing his sentence, and he simply says "Vivaldi". I have not heard the delivery of this line(cause I'm poor ✌), but the fact that the answer falls to him so suddenly and it simply MUST leave him immediately so John hears is delicious characterisation. Sherlock also answers with pop, as John likes popculture (a somewhat less personal answer, but still very considerate).

After another question it is established that Vivaldi isn't even a favourite of Sherlock's. He much prefers Mozart, Bach(I will come back to Bach) and Tchaikovsky.  Now Sherlock is a violinist, so there is no way he has escaped the genius of Antonio Vivaldi, like he's escaped pop. And so this recommendation is really because he feels John would like it.

But why does Sherlock think that? What would John Watson, a middle class everyman, like about Vivaldi?

Let me tell you:

When we analyse the symbolic meaning of instrumental classical(in this case baroque) music, we often look at the biography of the composer (Vivaldi gives us a little more to work with, which I will return to). I will start here. Antonio Vivaldi of Venice was taught the violin by his father and was ordained at 25 but didn't work as a priest for long due to illness. He instead became a violin teacher and composer. (Who else do we know that took up a very respected line of work but ended up where his father did? Why John Watson of course!) Vivaldi taught abandoned girls at an orphanage for more than 30 years, and saw immense potential in them and their education. The most talented of the girls stayed into adulthood as a part of their renowned orchestra and choir. He wrote most of his music for these girls and women to perform. He also took the talented singer Anna Tessiseri Giro and her sister under his wing, and Anna became his protégé. What a great guy! Supporting the talents of young women! Of course John would love him.

Going into Vivaldi's musical genius, we have to talk about baroque music. Vivaldi left a huge mark on the late baroque period. Especially the form of concertos which I won't bore you with (🤓), but also the general style of the period. That style is characterised by grand ornamentation (like the baroque in general), driving movement (in rythm) and contrast such as ascending and descending notes. All this produces beautiful an grand pieces. Additionally, Vivaldi used melodic  repetition(his critics say too much), which is what gets the new hit pop song stuck in our heads. Something our John is very prone to suffer under. Vivaldi also took a narrative approach to music. Not only through his many operas, but also in his concertos. Everyone knows his Four Seasons, whether you want to or not. He wrote four concertos, one for each season, and for each season there was an accompanying sonnet(which he presumably wrote). These concertos and sonnets depict both the gentleness and wrath of nature, all beautiful. But also people: herders, shepherds, drunk peasants celebrating the harvest and hunters. These are working people that Vivaldi chose to portray. John has a working class background, despite his social climb, he still shares most empathy with these people. Of course he would enjoy a celebration of their troubles and joys throughout the year.

Now back to Bach. A baroque man that Sherlock enjoys. The baroque ends with Bach, that is atleast what I've been taught. All of the period leads up to him. His complicated polyphonic(2 or more lines of melody at once) pieces are iconic and definitive of the period. And who inspired J. S. Bach? Well Vivaldi of course! Bach adapted several of Vivaldi's works and quoted him directly in his own compositions. Bach used bigger orchestras and different instruments (organ and harpsichord as he played them himself) and his works are generally more complicated than Vivaldi's Italian one-melody-centric works, but Bach is the metaphorical student! And Sherlock must absolutely be aware of this.

To me reading the mailbag episode, Sherlock started out uninterested, but the question had him think through his favourites. All complicated and very much not to John's tastes. But when thinking of Bach he went back to Vivaldi, which you must, and he is different. Vivaldi the sick priest, Vivaldi the teacher, the life long supporter of young womens' and abandoned girls' careers. Creative Vivaldi, Vivaldi the storyteller, which John is also. Vivaldi who celebrates nature and the dramatic lives of incredibly normal working people. Vivaldi and his repetitive melodies, although not in Sherlock's taste, fits John's so well. Vivaldi who inspired Bach. John who inspires Sherlock. ❤🎻

Tirade over! Thank you for reading. If you want to listen to some of Vivaldi's work I recommend The Four Seasons and a spot near a window with a suitable drink for the weather in your part of the world. For Bach you might want to look up whether your local church/music school holds concerts or similar events where Bach features, organ is a thousand times better live (if not, stick to his piano or string work).

There is evidence in some of Lovecraft's more complex utterances that there were concepts far more esoteric than one might gather from a casual first reading. In HPL's sonnet, AZATHOTH, there is something very like a creation myth proposed. In that brief work we might see something almost in the manner of the 'Big Bang Theory' that is currently popular. In at least one of his letters Lovecraft stated that he did not believe that there had been more than one 'Space Time Continuum.' The AZATHOTH sonnet bit of fiction, however, suggests that the creation of numerous 'space time continuui' have occured in the past and are an ongoing phenomenon. Furthermore each newly created cosmos is born with its own set of 'natural law's. HPL suggests in certain lines from a variety of his stories that AZATHOTH is somehow concurrent with all other manifestations of 'Being' and physical reality. Ultimately he/it may be the ONLY true example of eternity. Pictured below is an example of a 'fractal' image. Fractals have been defined as an imaginary expression having a finite area, but an infinite parimiter. The 'fractal' fad ran concurrent with Chaos Theory that was popular in some circles 25 years ago. Can one enjoy Lovecraft's fiction without this in-depth dissection of his every word? Of course, but some recognize that Lovecraft's fiction lends itself to a deeper evaluation for those who appreciate such things. (Exhibit 402)
