Like in the Rubaiyat...<br /><br />For I remember stopping by the way<br />To watch a Potter thumping his wet Clay:<br />And with its all-obliterated Tongue<br />It murmur'd—“Gently, Brother, gently, pray!”<br /><br />I added a bit more info; they both died shortly after the birth, apparently.<br /><br />When I first got a vehicle, I avoided motorways and even A roads as much as possible, Caroline. It meant it took for ever to get anywhere, of course, but it was still quicker than the bicycle I'd been used to up till then...<br /><br />I had similar responses, Federay; a powerful recollection of my own feelings about God and death, both generally and as it had affected me, at one time. The landscape here was also similar to the place we lived at that time... <br /><br />Yes, Richard has, hasn't he? I understand that it will soon be available in all good bookshops, too! 'Lazarus Is Dead', you say? <br /><br />Thanks, Suzzy. I'll give that a looking-at.Dru Marlandhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03697874363783821382noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2448752251053894818.post-26097214514541193402011-08-09T07:06:33.522+01:002011-08-09T07:06:33.522+01:00I'd no idea anything so literal was to be foun...I'd no idea anything so literal was to be found in stone.

(*Very* lovely photo, too - the light!) <br />And the baby! The baby!<br />On reflection I am both disturbed and moved which, I suppose, indicates how deliciously succesful the image is.<br />That kind of art rather spooks me however. I'm sure I would have jumped.<br /><br />Speaking of spooky: Richard Beard has recently written a novel touching on resurrection, and it will soon be very widely available both from online booksellers and shops.<br />xAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2448752251053894818.post-17548385821677929062011-08-08T11:26:07.760+01:002011-08-08T11:26:07.760+01:00Oooops! when I saw this photograph a few days ago ...Oooops! when I saw this photograph a few days ago I thought what a wonderful pile of bit, wonder who did that!<br /><br />My brain was too busy wondering how much longer your navigator would continue to bimble along with you on these trips.

I had someone explain to me why cremations were so rare in France; you need your body to get resurrected. Not that everyone practises, but it's best to be on the safe side when the day of judgement comes.<br /><br />What an incredible find. She's got her baby with her.
