This afternoon you have been gleaning more
material about the seven hundreds in Canterbury. You have for example,
references to St. Peters Church where Theodore [Canterbury School] was buried. There
are two particularly good photos to put in. Outside description you can use for
the first Canterbury Church where St. Augustine reigned and a glimpse into the
past as to how the school might have been, of course with tables and benches as
well as chairs.

From
St. Peters Church where Theodore is buried. [use
description with Cathedral]
"On the left hand
side of St. Peter's Street, as we pass through the city, is the church of St.
Peter, so long neglected and disused, but restored to use and service by
members of St. Augustine's College. The architectural history of the fabric has
been somewhat obscured by the bad treatment it has received. The small
square tower at the west end of the south aisle contains a large number of
Roman tiles used up in it's construction; it is of early Norman date, though
subsequently altered. There is other obviously Norman work of a plain
description at the west end. The font is a massive square (2ft. 3 in.) of Bethersden
marble, and is probably of the same period; a seventeenth-century
font-cover is in a kind of vestry at the west end of the wide south aisle, and
the elaborate ironwork and pulleys for its support could be restored. Over a
covered shelter to the south doorway rests the elaborate late Renaissance
tester of a once handsome pulpit of its kind. The pulpit itself is in the
keeping of a gentleman in the county, who rescued it from a builders yard, and
would gladly restore it for re-use. The modern prentence as a pulpit is a naked
thing of thin metal rods, surmounted by a wooden rail. At the east end of the
south aisle, on the north side, is a curious little rectangular niche formed of
pieces of timber. On the north side of the altar is a handsome Easter Sepulchre
recess, which goes through into the north aisle. Lack of space prevents any
attempt at clearing up the architectural development of this somewhat
interesting church, which so ingeniously adapted itself to a most confined and
irregular site."

city" J. Charles Cox 1905

1813 hours. I added three extra photos
to give me a better idea of how to use my imagination for description.
The point of the photographs is for emersion
into the setting. You feel this is necessary. – Amorella
2138 hours. This is what I do. What is
interesting is that these last two photographs remind me of the photos used to
image heartansoul.

The above images capture your sense of the heart and the soul architecturally. -

hours. Below are examples of my intuition running true. The post on 3 May 2011
shows this. Similar to what images I choose in 2016.

Do you
consider the intuitive insight more pure as that is what you consider my own
vehicle for adaptive personification? – Amorella.
I consider you in this present context as an internal
creative medium between me and words thus it is not difficult to exaggerate
this condition into your being ‘Panagiotakis-like. You haven’t suggested that I
read the entrails of any animal for instance. You are word bound only, a leaf
in Merlyn books and blog, Amorella. In other words, I see neither one of us as
real shamans. I was about to say that you are closer to a muse than a shaman,
but then I have two muses, pieces of church architecture – the interiors of
ancient Canterbury Cathedral and the Washington National Cathedral. This was at
your suggestion.
Look for a photo of the two on Google. – Amorella.
Canterbury Cathedral [Heart]
One Room School House [Soul]
The above images capture your sense of the heart and the soul architecturally. - Amorella
What comes to mind is Hemingway’s short story title: “Big
Two-Hearted River”. The image of the school house soul I had not considered;
but I do, it fits in my mind as do the other two, though they too were not
thought of a an image of the human heart, at least I do not think so, in fact,
it was a cathedral image that in my mind one time conjured the soul not the
heart in terms of poetic image.
You have learned something about yourself. You can talk to Takis later. Time
for lunch. Post. – Amorella.

2236 hours. This shows to me in symbolic image
form how my heart and soul are true to who I am. – rho
Who am I to move a heart and soul. A long
ago reminder (May 2003) from your
muse, Laney, “Are you content?” – Amorella
2239 hours. At present I am content
with who I am.
