Comment on Men dance on deathless feet by Anthony

Thank you, DZ.

Yes, how immeasurably dull we have all become. It is a heartbreaking and unstoppable decline.

I’ve been rereading (dipping into) Yeat’s ‘A Vision’, which has long intrigued me. I came across a reference to the influence (unacknowledged) of the Upanishads on this particular poem. It was a short hop from there to the fascinating Chatterjee.

Marvelous! How did we all — people, mystics, poets — become so sickly dull within a mere 100 years? Never mind. I know.

Terrific photos, and a delightful PDF by “the Two Chelâs,” too: “Strange phantom, freak of fancy perhaps,” was the thought he saw photographed on the brain of his listener, and instantly he pointed to the wall above him, when there appeared sentence in quaint script, which translated,reads thus: – “There is no charity in the West for the unknown doctrine.”

Love this post. Thank you, Anthony. What brought it to mind?

Great post, with fascinating, left-field connections. And Coetzee! I haven’t read Foe but it’s next on my list. Thank you.

Go for it! Meng-Hu's Hermitary is a site I think you'll enjoy exploring. Lots of good links and book reviews there, too.

Also something of a rarity, Banham’s book, with good copies going for hefty sums. I shall balance my intrigue and look out for it in second hand bookshops, but I will pick up a copy of this selected essays which look fascinating.Thanks again.
