Ouch How do sensitive profound thinkers turn into heartless self involved connivers?

@Mathfails what does this mean, eh???

@0ThouArtThat0

If you like biology with poetry you should definitely take a look at Erasmus Darwin's "Loves of the Plants" on Archive.org, first book of The Botanical Garden.

Goodwin is so cool. He stated it so clearly. Atheists today still paint life in the same dark colors as the old religious guilt and shame. Charles's grandpa, Erasmus Darwin,wrote "Love's of the Plants" : erotic poetry about flowers, classified by taxonomy, ca. 1800, and remarkably pantheist in ...

@taxisgay12 Perhaps believing objects have souls leads me to expect objects to maintain themselves in some sense just as living things maintain themselves. But living things are mortal and bound to degenerate, whereas purely material things like rocks can be nearly immortal. I guess I wondered...

If you and the universe are One, if purpose and accident are the same, if what you do and what happens to you are inseparable, what then? Do you take possession of it, take responsibility, become the soul of will or power? Or do you melt with the wind, like a butterfly? (Lieh Tzu's choice)

the interviewer did an excellent job--- who is it? great questions.

@0ThouArtThat0

You mean British Columbia, Canada (not Colombia, South America.)

---Sincerely Love your stuff, O Sincere Matthew :)

@VicktheChick

very nicely put

john cowper powys was a great writer who deserves more

@horsesareok

exactly, yes kandinsky did write about these things. I always thought highly of disney for fantasia but now i dont.. How tense to have lived during his times, and for Steiner too

Come on Ian, nobody runs with his hands in his pockets! Still great anyway.

Bostridge sings similar words in Schubert's "Lindenbaum"

these words are pagan :)

Many People come to religion through beauty

I think thats Tony Pappano on the paino

@kht777 Maybe you are missing something. Classical tenors sometimes really do it to me. it adds a whole new dimension to the words, "music lover."

Truth is stranger than fiction. The film's failure even before release may come from the fact the real historical event was so ugly, degrading and unheroic. I highly recommend Adam Curtis's BBC documentaries on the culture of control: "The Trap" and "Century of Self."

@spudnutsncoffee

heartless and ugly--- unlike the lady

You are not especially sexy sir, but your piano playing, is very so.

:)

--- happy girl.

Herr Doctor, was ist diese interressante Mahlerin? Apologies for my bad German--- so many people write bad English on Youtube I thought I would show my respect by writing in bad German

:) Danke schon fur diese magnificat Dinge!!! --- Anna in USA

What would old B think of this airplane hangar? Roll over Beethoven!!!

@dziady1 : That was very well put, and every word true, but I still love their interpretation. IB sings with his nerves, and nerves have feeling, too. Pappano, Uchida and Drake are all highly emotional players and so can offset B's getting lost in details, losing passion and momentum. I adore it...

@Teddyb1939

Teddy thats exactly my thought too. The space puts a cold barrier into what needs more warmth and brightness.

Jussi, you are murdering me--- but how do I pronounce your name as I die?
