Thin Places #1

Posted by PJ under thin places
No Comments

 

Merlin’s Cave, Tintagel, Cornwall, Spring 2004

The village of Tintagel from Tintagel Castle, Spring 2004

 

9th c. monk cells, Tintagel Castle, Spring 2004

Tintagel: The thing is, if you go to the village it’s full of King Arthur tat and rather crass about it. But if you climb up to the island itself (and in 2004 you had no alternative but to climb an enormous staircase to get there) it’s a pretty magical place. Maybe it was endorphins from the climb, but I found it exhilarating. And after all, thin places are always a personal thing. You can’t find them for anyone else and no one else can find them for you. They exist solely between you and the landscape.

Imagination

Posted by PJ under imagination, myth, quote of the day
No Comments

Random quote of the day:

“Imagination is independent and autonomous; it precedes and underpins mere perception; and it spontaneously produces those images—gods, daimons and heroes—who interact in the unauthorized narratives we call myths.”

Posted by PJ under mistakes, quote of the day
