Much to her annoyance, and for the third morning in a row, her friend Sue, pathetically eager to continue her holiday romance with Jose, the handsome, if considerably younger than she, assistant manager of the hotel, had disappeared straight after breakfast, leaving Helen to once again entertain herself for the rest of the day.

The small top portion of the front parlour window had been left open by the new lodger. I peered in through the curtains - he too had gone out. There was nothing else for it.

In the Evening
I sit with my Lord and listen to his grievences.
Why do I not pay more attention to him who has let all these moths and jewel-winged insects into the room?
When was the ceiling last dusted? - observe the many fantastic sculpted castles and pavilions of the roof spiders spinning their complicated dreams of finery and dust, snares for flitting spirits of light.
My mind is awash with my husbands tedious complaints - why is he so... ]]> feeds@yuku.com (Willowdown) http://thepeacefulpub.yuku.com/topic/24686 Thu, 29 Oct 2009 21:26:17 GMT http://thepeacefulpub.yuku.com/topic/24685/t/Extracts-from-Willowdown-s-Emerald-Almanack-Nine.html
I saw the Queen of Leaves
pass between the Pillars of the Dusk,
an amber crown burning on her flame-red hair
her cloak of violet shadows tight against her attenuated form.
"To where do you pass, never looking backwards?"
I questioned her.
"To the Islands of the far, far West,"
came her rustling reply upon the Sun's last sigh.
"To the oceanic nest of far-flying gulls, and the hopes and fancies of... ]]> feeds@yuku.com (Willowdown) http://thepeacefulpub.yuku.com/topic/24685 Thu, 29 Oct 2009 21:24:59 GMT http://thepeacefulpub.yuku.com/topic/24684/t/Travels--Father-Frank-O-Hare--Thirty-Nine-Conclusion-.html feeds@yuku.com (Willowdown) http://thepeacefulpub.yuku.com/topic/24684 Thu, 29 Oct 2009 21:23:42 GMT http://thepeacefulpub.yuku.com/topic/24676/t/Extracts-from-Willowdown-s-Chysanthemum-Compendium-Five.html
The skeleton ships plough the dark river, pulled by dark loathsome beasts.
Grinning skeletons, some naked, some in gaudy rags of rotten cloth or putrid flesh,
toss blossoms and petals onto the water where, compelled by some arcane magnetism,
they drift to the rivers banks to be gathered up in nets of reed and straggling river-grass or wash up on some gravel strand.
But for every thousand thus abandoned to water, air and earth, one is picked up... ]]> feeds@yuku.com (Willowdown) http://thepeacefulpub.yuku.com/topic/24676 Wed, 28 Oct 2009 20:25:21 GMT http://thepeacefulpub.yuku.com/topic/24675/t/Extracts-from-Willowdown-s-Emerald-Almanack-Eight.html where does the beauty of women go?
Beneath a chandelier of crystal and glass
I watch the planets turn through fields of shadow and light.
Old Crow flies above a yellow meadow.
The red eyes of poppies stare up at a blind Universe.
Children play at the edge of the ocean;
damsel-flies chase and devour their prey.
Where does the strength of men go?
where does the beauty of women go?

I couldn't help it. I had to laugh out aloud at her suggestion... ah, if only things were that simple!

My laughter only upset her however and she pulled away from me, disentangling her hand from mine.

When the primal planet split into seven lesser planets and the primal god incarnated in seven different bodies, I dreamed a white bird laid a jet black egg.
I dreamed that the seven silver-tressed handmaidens of Beauty broke their vow of silence and whispered perilous secrets into the ears of seven hermits sleeping in sealed Himalayan caves.

Upon the steep and winding path that climbs up to the sky I passed beneath a great curved gate beneath the Sun's bright eye and in the courtyards of the Noon, besides a lake of blue, I saw twelve maidens work the wheels that spin the morning dew.

The threads of dew were gathered in and sealed in silver flasks and carried to the hidden Moon by clever imps and djinn; and passing through a crescent gate of platinum and silver I saw the threads of dew released and... ]]> feeds@yuku.com (Willowdown) http://thepeacefulpub.yuku.com/topic/24665 Tue, 27 Oct 2009 20:21:20 GMT http://thepeacefulpub.yuku.com/topic/24664/t/Travels--Father-Frank-O-Hare-Parts-Thirty---Thirty-Five.html
We wandered about old Ireland for the better part of two weeks, mainly the south-west and the west coast, visiting lots of quiet little places hardly found on any map and staying in small hotels and public houses where the people were courteous and the food was quite delightful.

An invisible Giant harvests the stars with a scythe as dark and as wide as all of empty space.
He gathers them up in a sack upon his back and carries them up the Hill behind the Sun where he tips them into his Star-mill and grinds them down.
Slowly, slowly, a thin trickle of silver moisture oozes from a tap at the bottom of the Star-mill - it takes a million stars to manufacture just one tiny drop.
When the Giant has enough to fill a tiny phial he assumes a... ]]> feeds@yuku.com (Willowdown) http://thepeacefulpub.yuku.com/topic/24653 Mon, 26 Oct 2009 20:26:26 GMT http://thepeacefulpub.yuku.com/topic/24652/t/Extracts-from-Willowdown-s-Emerald-Almanack-Six.html
The animals of the great circle turn the world,
The birds of the great migration are searching for the hidden Sun.
From the Island of the Nine-spoked Star seven ships have set out to scour the sea and archipelagos for the Kingdom of the Blessed and in high towers that pierce the clouds, five ancient Wizards have sunk themselves into visionary trance and loosed their spirit totems upon the winds.
