Know these places very well! Often visited Blake's grave in Bunhill Fields ( where many famous non-comformists including Daniel Defoe are buried).

@MrTobytwirl Yes, I know the grave in Bunhill fields, used to work close by a few years ago and would spend lunch hours in that one, wonderful crumbly old place in the City!

Christ's autism?

[squareye]

Indeed! This is not autism in the clinical sense but a term Spare used to describe a trance like state. This is the state where the inner eye sees. The film suggests that Christ's death three days in the tomb and resurrection can be seen metaphorically as a period of inner journeying (in Christ's case to the underworld), before returning to the world.

Those little typo devils - 'deliferate' & 'mystail'- they just sneak in everywhere!

Thanks for the notice!

thx for putting this up, or making it whichever applies. It is great as I am writing on AOS's London. But how much harder to search for inspiration surrounded by rain, tower blocks and road junctions!No wonder they headed South

Thanks, this has been my introduction to psychogeography. Sorry, but noticed two typos - Bartholomew and Suffrage. Off to watch the 2nd part.
