It isn't given us to know those rare moments when people are wide open and the lightest touch can wither or heal. A moment too late and we can never reach them any more in this world.
You might be interested to know that I've added an experimental BBC4 listing.
Any use?
'Tis for me, albeit the closest I'm likely to get to BBC FOUR
21:00 Illuminations: The Private Lives of Medieval Kings (b01b4v8t) Libraries Gave Us Power
Dr Janina Ramirez unlocks the secrets of illuminated manuscripts that were custom-made for kings, and explores the medieval world they reveal. In this episode, the story of the British Library's Royal Manuscripts collection reaches its end with the last great flowering of illumination, in the magnificent courts of the Tudors. She investigates astrological texts created for Henry VII, and unwraps his will - still in its original, extravagantly-decorated velvet and gold cover. She hears music written for Henry VIII, which went unperformed for centuries; and reads love notes between the king and Anne Boleyn, written in the margins of a prayer book. Nina also visits Bruges, the source of many of the greatest manuscripts, where this medieval art form collided with the artistic innovations of the Renaissance.
I'm unlikely to watch it but it reminds me that I shall be in London (bbbttthhh! ) in a couple of weeks so must book my ticket and then add my Thorts to the relevant thread on Arts & Ideas.
Oh, surely this forum is the most cultured place in Bri-TAIN!
