A Review of 'Soliloquies in England' by George Santayana
“Only the dead have seen the end of war.”
Remember that Plato quote? Well it WASN’T Plato, it was George Santayana! In one of the better parts of one of his better essays; ‘Tipperary’, in which he observes a group of British soldiers singing in a coffee shop after the Armistice is signed and they realise they don’t have to die.
A grim riposte but, in responding directly to his living circumstances, Read more of this blog post »

| Natural artefacts form negative space in the image, so many clouds, fumes and dust-sweeps across the page. Even the air is deeply textured, nothing is only one colour but a field itself for the gradations of light. Shadows in the dust and on the floo ...more | |

“Kulwar Wolters, a gloved man I suspect to be a Cliothaum, can and could be anywhere.

Magic never gives you anything back, there’s always a trick. Kulwar Wolters used it rarely, if at all. But his fingertips were burnt, I think.”
